One of her forces, electricity, carries the voice of man afar. Others, as flood, tornado or sleet storm, can cripple communications in a large area through their devastating might. Each pair of telephone wires in the Bell System is a pathway for reciprocal speech. When beaten down by the uncontrollable forces of nature, that pathway to fifteen million telephones is blocked, and none of the nation·s voices can pass thatway. Reserve materials must be on hand, that storm damage may be repaired without delay. Adequate funds must be made available so that the c0st of restoration may be met. National telephone service is only possible through an organization capable of handling, on a nation-wide basis, the problem of maintenance as well as of operation.
