Some matters of interest to our
town were presented and discussed.
The Music Department of the Wo-
man's Club is making arrangements
for community Xmas tree and asked
the co-operation of the Rotarians,
which was heartily given.
The Woman's Club as a whole is
taking up the matter of beautifying
the city, especially in the matter of
planting trees and shrubs. This, too,
was brought before the club and any
aid we can give was promised.
Reports were made on “The 7th
Mile Companion” effort which was
initiated by the club some time ago.
The program was a speaking pro-
gram. made up of several interesting
speeches on topics having to do with
our daily lives and affairs.
John Gregory spoke on Our Public
Schools; Dr. J. J. Robertson on the
newly enlarged and improved County
Hospital: Dr. It. B. Cousins on the
College and its Fine Prospects; Gene
Buckner “the gas man” told us what
we might expect from the gas com-
pany, and what they are doing to
keep us warm and happy. And, last
hut not least, E. H. Crenshaw told us
why every man should make a will.
It was a very instructive hour.

A GREATER TELEPHONE SYSTEM FOR TEXASj

MEXICO
/T ) Mexico is now
within sound of
a your voice. On Sep-
' y ^ tember 30, long dis-
tance service was
opened between the United
States and Mexico, bringing
another nation within reach of
your telephone. Just ask for
"Long Distance” and give her
your call in the usual way.
A POPULAR SERVICE
During the first eight months of this
year, 9,990,000 long distance calls were
placed by Texas telephone sub-
scribers. Of this number, approxi-
mately 1,998,000 were placed after 7
o’clock in the evening, showing the
popularity of the reduced rate periods
for station-to-station calls, which start
at 7 p. m. and continue until 4:30 a. m.
*YOU ARE INVITED
Ip Texas, more than 4,400 operators
are required to handle the continuous
flow of telephone calls. Why not drop
in at your telephone office some after-
noon and see just how your telephone
calls are handled at the switchboard?
You are always welcome, and the visit
wiil be well worth while.
Average Service of Texas
Telephone Employees is
Four Years
The telephone business is a highly
specialized industry and in a great
many of its departments requires con-
siderable technical knowledge. In most
branches of telephone work this knowl-
edge can be gained only through ex-
perience and
special train-
ing. The longer
the experience,
generally, the
more capable a telephone employee is
of serving the telephone company and
telephone subscribers.
In Texas the Southwestern Bell
Telephone Company has in its employ
more than 7,100 people. The average
length of service of these employees is
over four years.
LONG SERVICE RECORDS
More than 900 of these employees
have had more than 10 years of tele-
phone service, about 200 have had more
than 20 years.
These employees in Texas repre-
sent but a small portion of the tele-
phone workers who make possible the
telephone service you enjoy today. In
the United States there are more t!i:,n
425,000 men and women engaged in
telephone work. Their r.J «
coordinated efforts make /
it possible for you to *'
reach hy telephone all
corners of this nation, as
well as Cuba, Canada, Mexico, or Grea*1
Britain, from your home or office.
THERE ARE 585,000 TELEPHONES IN TEXAS
