Avoid Telephoning : During the Epidemic New cases of SPANISH INFLUENZA among our ope- rating forces make it necessary that we continue our appeal—“ Don’t make unnecessary telephone calls.” While some operators have recovered and returned to work, others are absent for the first time because of influenza. There is no material improvement in the situation. It still remains very serious. In certain sections it is necessary for us to ask calling parties if their calls are necessary before the connec- tions are made. THIS PRACTICE MUST BE EXTENDED UNLESS TELEPHONING IS RESTRICTED VOLUNTARILY to indispensable calls, such as 1. Calls occasioned by fire, lawlessness, accident, death or serious illness. Calls to and from hospitals, doctors, druggists, etc. Calls necessitated by the public interest and welfare or by Government business and war work. Commercial calls of vital importance.
