I I Every duty, well and honestly done, is a contribution to victory” The Prime Minister of Canada. A .car with Nova Scotia license plates limps into a service station in Winnipeg. Steam is spouting from under the hood. “It’s your water pump,” says the mechanic. “We can have a new one on in a jiffy—won’t hold you up long.” Only a water pump—perhaps assembled in Oshawa or Windsor from parts made in half a dozen different towns, yet it fits to a T when this Manitoba mechanic puts it on a car from Nova Scotia. Uniformity—standardization—are big factors in telephone service, too. You can talk practically anywhere, any time, for one reason, because telephone equipment made with meticulous care fits to a T in all parts of the system. Operating methods are co-ordinated, too, so that your call is put through quickly . and accurately—your voice spans the m miles direct to your listener’s ear. To U** — a nation at war, such standardization is a great asset, GEO. W. LAWSON, Manager.
