Suddenly, out of a spring sky, rain began to fall, and as night came on this turned into a furioua storm of aleet, «now and wind. In 48 hour«, 3700 telephone poles and 7000 miles of wire were down; 39 exchanges were isolated; 11,000 telephones were silent. A Repair crews were instantly sent to the scene. In record time 1000 men from five states were on the job. Within 72 hours the isolated exchanges and tele phones were back in service. In any crisis there are no state lines in the Bell System. In all emergencies of flood or storm, as well as in the daily tasks of extending and maintaining the nation-wide network, is seen the wisdom of One Policy, One System, Universal Service. •‘T he T elephone B ooks are the D irectoby or the N ation ” T he P acific T elephone A nd T elegraph C ompany BELL SYSTEM ( h u P o lic y - O»ft S y c t t m • V n h r o n M S e r v ic e D.
