In a service business like the telephone business, many people must pool many talents to keep calls moving smoothly. Matter of fact, meeting the West's demands for service has made us one of the West's largest employers. That means a mighty big payroll ...particularly when you consider that we can attract and keep the capable people we need only with good wages and top-notch working conditions. 3. Making telephone jobs good jobs is a policy that means much to the nation today. ..when a strong telephone system, manned by skilled people, is particularly important in helping our industries and military services meet the big problem of nation al defense. And, even though the costs of providing telephone service have shot up sharply, telephone rates on the average have gone up less than half as much as the cost of living generally. Your telephone remains one of the best buys in your budget. Pacific Telephone 2. Today, better than half of each dollar you pay for service goes to employees in wages and other ex penses such as their company-paid Benefit Plan. That's more than in most businesses.

Bill cor respondence courses will not be permitted to switch to classroom courses after the July 25, 1951, cut-off date for training, Charles M. Cox, local VA representative, said today in answer to many queries. Cox said the VA's cut-off regu lations require that once a vet eran completes or discontinues a course after the 1951 deadline, he may not start another. He may, however, advance from a basic or preparatory to an advanced phase of a course. Correspondence courses, Cox added, have been universally ac cepted as independent courses within themselves and not as stepping stones in preparation for residence study. Therefore, a veteran who finishes a corres pondence course after the cut-off date would not, under VA regu lations be enttiled to further classromm training even though it's in the same field.
