You probably have heard
about certain government re-
strictions on telephone service
and equipment now in effect.
We should like to tell you a
little more about these re-
strictions—why they are nec-
essary, and what they will
mean to you.
The reason for them is sim-
ple and complete. They are to
save materials which are need-
ed to fight the war.
What will they mean to you,
the telephone user?
If you have a telephone now,
they mean no change except
that in many Texas cities af-
fected by war growth you may
have to have other parties on
your line. And, in all cases,
you can’t get an extension
telephone in your home if you
haven’t one already.*
For people who have no tele-
phones and want them, or for
presentuserswhomove to new
locations, we shall supply at
least party-line service wher-
ever there are now enough
lines and switchboards. Butin
general, where new construc-
tion of this type would be

necessary, we shall not be
able to provide service.*
This will mean inconven-
ience and perhaps hardship to
a few people now. As time
goes on it will probably mean
inconvenience and hardship
to more people, but we need
your help and sympathetic
understanding in this im-
portant step to save the max-
imum of materials for the
war.
Beside the great savings in
materials already made by
substitution and wartime en-
gineering, the new restric-
tions will mean that more
lead, iron, steel, zinc, copper,
and rubber used in telephone
equipment will now go into
arms.
In spite of all this, and while
telephone service may not be
available to all who want it,
we believe we can keep the
service up to a high standard.
At any rate, we shall do opr
level best. These difficulties
are something that neither
the government nor the tele-
phone companies can help.
They are part of the price of
protecting liberty.

Therefore, producers who wished to

Monday. During that time it was

The city wants to warn you of
this danger and asks you to keep

FOR SEED
A plan to use excess peanuts for
seed as a means of promoting great-
er oil production, was announced to-
day by H. A. Taylor, chairman of
the Bastrop county AAA committee.
Under the new plan, a producer
may sell through his county AAA
committee his excess peanuts (those
produced in excess of the farm
marketing quota) to another pro-
ducer who intends to plant the seed
peanuts for oil in 1942.
In the past, the farmer had the
option of diverting his excess pea-
nuts to oil or paying a penalty of
three cents a pound under the pea-
nut marketing quota program." The
new provision is a second means by
which a producer may dispose of
