T ELEPHONE service is an important agencyin the country'swar program. Th e use anddemands for telephone service have increasedtremendously.The great t ask which we, as a part of theNational machinery, are shouldering is being car'ried forward successfully; bu t we may serve sti llmore broadly if the public w il l co-operate inits use of telephone service as it is co-operatingin the conservation.of food and in the preventionof waste.You wil l observe that the operator repeats thenumber, This is so you may correct her ifsh e has misunderstood. If she repeats i t c or ,rectly, please say"Yes" or "Right"; if incorrectly,tell her thecorrect number before she completesthe connec ti on . .Telephone users can prevent waste of time,service and telephone facilities generally if theywill always make sure of th e telephone numberbefore calling and make sure that th e operatorhas understood. Wrong number calls and thepossible tie-up of telephone equipment overunnecessarily long periods will thus be avoided.

We have to get in it,But it's only just to say,

We have, bandages and arnicaFor victims of the fray.
