And at wbat- ever hour you calil ber she is pleasant aMd efficient. The people i the telephone service make cour- tesy a habit. It is part of the efflciency wth which they serve. There are 15,000 men and women engaged ini the telephone system of Ontario and Quebec They handie over four million cafls every day and, i spite of the constant cry for speed, there is scarcely a case of conscious discour- tesy or neglect. r-HE COMPANY 15 PROU]) of these A_.15,000 men and women and bas endeavor- cd to make their work as agreeable, healthffl and stable as possible. Several hmîdred present employees have been with the system for more than twenty-five years. This stability of staff maintains high standards of operation and is encouraged by the Eni- ployees' Pension and Benefit Fund, established in 1917, to proteet employees i illness or acci- dent, and to provide for their future and for their dependents. There is also a plan of Ewmployees' Life Insur- azice, by which ouit of salary, employees znsy carry withonrt undue burden insurance to care for their dependents. This plan lias been ar- rnnged in co-operation with Canadian insur- ance companies at regular rates. 1 N ADDITION toi thîs factor of stab&ity en active interest in the telephone sy ss encouraged by thse plan of empioyee >parchase of shares and by the plan of employee repT- sentatio.
