M. Knox, mifnager of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, said today. To the extent that availaâ€" bility of materials and mafpower permits, additional telephones will be manufactured, but there is a tremendous waiting list of people who want telephone service, some 1,800,000 of them throughout the country. _ The communication industry still is obligated to provide equipment to carry on the war and will continue to do so even with the defeat of Germany." . "Accordingly," Mr. Knox added, "even if the company had adequate supplies of telephone instruments, which it does not, and cannot expect to have for some time, it would still be quite a while before service could be given to all who want it. The manufacture and installation of central office equipment, which has practically been at a standstill for civilian service during the war, is an intricate and itmeâ€"consuming operation, much more so tbqihemfuhre_ofhlepl-eh, W the nee and shown those on the zpning Tist : We are ddaing ‘our ptmint to mect everyone‘s needs at the, earliest possible moment." Mr. Knox said the important thing to remember is thatâ€" the majority of these 1,800,000 people carinot get service because there are not enough switchboards and other central office equipment, as well as cable and other line facilities which are necessary to provide service. .

In this city, as in every other city and town all over the country, the women of the American Leâ€" gion auxiliary will be on the streets with baskets full of poppies for sale. . This large corps of volunâ€" teer workers, organized by Mrs. Roland Stanley, Highwood, and Mrs. P E. Cole, .

Home Service Training ‘‘"Our responsibilities to our men who are still fighting in the Paâ€" cific must not be relaxed for one moment. While men are still dyâ€" ing in battle, more blood, _more Red Cross services will be needâ€" ed. And when these men return they will look to Red Cross for the same help and comfort they reâ€" ceived while they were at war." American Red Cross will continâ€" ue its wartime schedule as long as the armed forces need it.

In conducting this drive, Highâ€" land .Park‘s 7th war loan commitâ€" tee is making every effort to ovâ€" ercome any inclination on â€"the part of the public to. let down in their efforts on the home front now that the EuÂ¥Fopéan conflict is over.

Garnett will open the meeting with a few words of welcome, thanking the workers for their efforts in past campaigns and stressing the need for their wholehearted cooperaâ€" tion in the current drive.
