MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1942. PAGE SEVEN EQUIPMENT HERE Installation In Newly Com pleted Building Addition Proceeds On Schedule. Proceeding on schedule today was the installation of local and long line equipment in the ad dition to the Medford building of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company at Fifth and Bartlett streets. The addition to the building, which itself was new, was com pleted recently. The construc tion and equipment represent an investment exceeding $140, 000. A couple of months will be required to complete instal lation of the delicate and com plicated equipment, according to the present schedule. While the plant expansion was intended to take care of a normal increase in business, the foresight in planning ahead of present needs now puts the company in a state of prepared ness for handling any heavy service demands which may be made upon it by the army can tonment which is to be estab lished here. It was said at the company's office, however, that no orders for cantonment serv , ice have been received. New Airport Cable The company is also increas ing its service at the Medford municipal airport by installing a new 100-pair cable. Aside from these plant and equipment expansions and im provements, however, the com pany is following a plan of economy to help in the govern ment's conservation program deemed necessary to carry on the war effort unhampered and to the fullest possible extent. The Pacific company is carrying out in full the general policy adopted by the Bell System of which it is a part. Because of this policy of complete cooper ation with the government in its war program, the Bell Sys tem is credited with setting an example of true patriotism for the entire American industry. The Bell System, faced with the greatest growth and service demand in history and, on the other hand, with limitation and priorities on vital materials es I sential for normal conduct of the telephone business, has set itself to work out this unusual and serious problem with only one thought in mind: coopera tion with the government in winning victory in the quickest possible time. Use Substitutes To this end the system has turned to substitutes, even though some of them might be below Bell's high standard, in order to save essential mater ials, plastics being on of the substitute items. Other steps already taken, to conserve ma terials and serve with greatest possible efficiency the commun ications needs of the govern ment and armed forces. Include discontinuation of all stimu lative sales activities; sharp cur tailment of replacements plan . ned to improve service or make t operating economies; shortening of engineering periods; in creased use of carrier to reduce requirements for line wire; re use wherever possible of ma terials displaced from plants. Also avoiding substitution of handsets for other types now in service; encouraging patrons to do without extensions in the home; suggesting party line rather than Individual line resi dence service; and encouraging both business and residence customers to take only such supplementary services as are necessary. In spite of all this, the sys tem has promised the public to do everything possible to main tain a high standard of tele phone service. "Ice Capades" Coming i) U ) .)

"Double Trouble", with an all-star cast, will play as the companion feature. , E AS MASTERS JOIN A problem of sentiment today faced the Southern Oregon Hu mane society as pleas for good homes for their dogs piled up from young men entering Uncle Sam's armed forces. The society called upon the public for help. "It is really a pathetic situa tion and one that should quickly arouse the sympathy of every one who loves a pet or is ready to serve the country in an indi rect manner," a society state ment said. "These boys, going into the service to defend our countsy, have become attached to their dogs. They love these pets and it is a' hardship for them to part with the animals at all. "The boys would take their dogs to camp but that is not possible. So they seek the next best thing: a good home for the dogs while they are away. They are coming to us for help be cause they have confidence that we will see that only good homes will be chosen for their beloved pets. They'd like to have it agreed that upon their return home after the war their dogs will be restored to them." The society invited contact with families able to help keep up the boys' morale by sending them off to camp with the as surance that their dogs will be well taken care of during their absence. concluded with the singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner." There was also Boys' league meeting yesterday morning in the auditorium with President Harris James presiding. Princi pal Mayfield spoke concerning student conduct at school, and Mike Thorniley, program chair man, with Carol Johnson and Charles Braley, presented an en tertaining Red Skelton comedy. A luncheon was held this noon by the French club. Bette Lu Foulk had charge of decora tions and Susan Vilas arranged games pertaining to early France. An interesting game was played by writing a tele gram in French from the letters of the word "America," in the order given. Place cards had small American flags, and red, white, and blue candles carried out the American theme. Next meeting of the club will be Wed nesday when it will have its regular study session, discussion to be based on French colonies and origins of France. THIRD TERM MAYOR Oregon City, Jan. 9 UPh Q William O. H. Krueger has been elected mayor for his third term. COLLEGE TRAINED Camp Stewart, Ga. UP It may seem strange to be accosted by military police with "if you please, sir," instead of the more familiar, "all right, pull over, bud," but it is not unusual at this army center where Lieut. Col. W. V. Ochs has built his MP force from men with a min imum of one year in college. Cat Mali Trtbuna want ads. High School News by STUDENT REPORTEB8 By Thelma Kaplon.
