and the task is War. Under the busy fingers of the
long distance operators flow messages that move
troops, locate and assemble supplies. ..that help to
build ships, guns, tanks and planes.
To handle the gigantic volume of long distance
calls, we could use more equipment if we could get
it. But that would draw upon critical war materials
that are needed at the fighting fronts.
So we earnestly ask you to co-operate by making,
lo war-busy centers, only long distance calls that are ,
absolutely necessary.
Thank you for your belp and your understanding.
