The Trojans apparently have a strong team and should be a tough contender for league title. However, a bigger threat arose} Sunday when the Red Raiders pounded two Conch pitchers for 16 hits and went on to win 13. The highly-spirited Red Raiders} were sparked by the return of} Dan Lastres, who starred for the} Navy in the Bermuda League be- fore getting discharged. All the; sports writers in Bermuda agree/ that “El Tori” Lastres, as he is| generally known, is big league! material. That infield of A. Las-| tres on first, D. Lastres on sec- ond, J. Albury at short and M. Hernandez at third, is the best combination in the league. Trojans count mostly on Bub- ber Sweeting’s pitehing to beat; the Red Raiders out of the pen- nant.

HOW MANY CALLS FLORIDA MADE THIS YEAR war is to tell you this startling fact. And that is “telephone ¢ in 1945 will be the lowest in the c ny’s history, except for the worst of the depression years”. This is because our expenses—wages, taxes, cost of materials, cost of services— increased at a greater rate than our revenues. Telephone people, however, were glad to be busy handling Florida's calls. They were not concerned primarily with figures. Instead these 5,125 busy Floridians were concerned with service—getting your calls through and secing that lines were kept in order. They knew their job was to serve you weil and with a pleasant “thank you”, A. B. DOOLEY, Florida Manager As Telephone Tommy points out, Florid- iams did a whale of a lot of talking from January through November of this year. Fact is, more local and long distance calls were made than in any other similar period in the entire history of the telephone in Florida. We wish you could have seen the rush of these calls through our telephone ex- changes. They made the signal lights dance across our switchboards with such speed and sparkle as to turn the lights on Broadway green with envy. You might have felt that with so many calls being handled, the telephone folks were making money because of the war.
