PITZEN W«t McHmuj Sou Bail, Cltrirtig "The war stories I like best. Judge, art the ones by the special writers overseas who live right with our troops. They give us a better idea of how our men react to things going on over there and back here at home." " I agree with you, Sam. I never miss one of those stories in the papers or magazines.: And there's one thing those writers seem to* agree on no matter where they are stationed withjour men...and that is that the men w&5nave left their homes and families to go away and fight this war don't want to come back and find that prohibition has been put over on them while they were away... either nationally or locally. They have heard about the attempts bein^j made and they resent it Jjitterly." " I agree with them, Judge, even though I don't happen to drink myself. Furthermore, I don't think it's fair for us at home to be making any major changes while 10,000,000 of our fighting men are away and have no chance to express their opinions."

The problem was to find the wood and working parts needed to make the missing boxes and thus provide service. So, telephone engineers checked over materials in storage and located some 1500 old-style wall sets which could not be used with present equipment. But parts of thsae sets (the boxes, ringers and termirals) Could be used and have been used to build bell boxes for new telephones.... This re-use of old materials has enabled US to install telephones for more than a thousand Illinois Bell subscribers, who otherwise would have had none. And we expect to take care of many more. This is just one example of our constant effort in wartime to s-t-r-e-t-c-h telephone facilities to give the best service to thi most people. We're doing everything in our power to shorten the present waiting list. Please be sure we will care for your needs at the earliest possible moment. •m - H «*• War featf - MS* ILLINOIS BELL TUEPN( tat a
