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.

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.

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
