two years, have returned to Gra-
ham to make their home. The

If you live on a farm and don’t have telephone
service now, you can be sure the telephone com-
pany is using every means to speed the day when
you can have it.
' Extension and improvement of rural service was
interrupted by the war, but plans to resume it went
right ahead. Surveys were made, maps drawn,
thousands of fanners asked What kind of rural
service they liked best The result is a 14-million-
dollar postwar program for improving and extend-
ing service to rural areas in the Southwest
Now the building job is under way again. Our
goal by the end of the year is to have 40,000 new
rural telephones in service. Within the next five
ww wa etoaefc to add. 14X000.
Tfc—* is still much to be done, and-it Will be
some time before everyone has service who wants
it But we are well on our way.
