Clinton Batty and Lindell
1. 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. In manufacturing, for
example, salary and wage costs average about 24 cents.
But in the telephone business, the many people
skilled people needed to do the right job for die
West, make employee costs our largest expense.

July 25 Deadline
For Study Course
Ch ange Under Gl Bill
Veterans taking G.I. 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.
