I 4 When you're out for a drive in the country, you may no tice a little "telephone gardening" underway. Especially where there are tall trees and shrubs. These growths could interfere with telephone lines if we didn't cut them down to size once in a while. When the brush gets extra thick, new chemical sprays (above) can be used. They do a mighty good job, too. And some day, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of spraying done from helicopters. It's already been tried out. No matter what it takes, the main thing is tct keep those voice paths open for your calls. 4 That's a piece of telephone equipment in the hand of the man at left. It's called a thermistor. And the "heart" of it is just a tiny speck in- that tube. It s so small could barely see it if placed it on your finger tip. It does a big job, though. For with the thermistor, your voice can't fade or blare on the phone. Just goes to show that good things do come in small packages. t I lJ side frV , , L4i J you F V f you When you call your tele phone business office, it's a service representative who takes your call. Notice how fast she handles your busi ness? That's because she's had plenty of training for her job. It started way be fore she first answered a customer's call. I don't mind saying that we're mighty proud of our "service reps." They're hand-picked to do a good job for you. Pacific Telephone rr lone News hospital for several days.
