The cannonading started at the ‘very outset with three scores. An- other was added in the fourth and| blockbusters followed in the fifth to the tune of a triple and a hom- er for two more counters. The soldiers obtained their last in the final inning for the eventual total.

That’s the right use for copper now —and it’s the reason why your telephone company can't expand facilities to fully take care of the rapidly increasing demand for long distance service. Right now lines are loaded as never before with war calls which must have right-of-way. Now more than ever, we need your help to keep the wires clear for war calls. You can do it by not making any but really urgent long distance calls and by being as brief as possible when you do call. And also bear in mind that when the long distance operator says, “There may be an hour or two delay on your call,” it means the lines are overcrowded with urgent war busi- ness. When this happens, to avoid further crowding, it would help a lot if you cancelled your call and tried again when the lines are less busy. NE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY
