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.

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.
