After -war conditions, andthe telephone Reconstruction and Telephone service. i TELEPHONE service, like other public services, undoubtedly suffered through the war. Hundreds of skilled telephone workers went overseas. -Many trained opeyators sought - temporary positions in fnunitiott plants. There was a world shortage of the materials that go to build a telephone sys- tem. Our- reserves of plant and equipment Were drawn upon until they were practically exhausted. Necessary repairs and mainten- ance work had to wait. Then came the armistice. The business world sprang into intense activity. The de. ' wand for new installations all over our system was enormous. Now comes the task of getting back to normal --restoring our reserve plant, over- taking arrears of maintenance and repairs, hurrying new construction of local and long distance equipment to meet pressing demands for service. Our plans for this year involve an outlay for extensionsand replacements of over $7,000,000. We are giving intensive training in our operators' schools to hundreds of young women to prepare thin; for central office positions. Our chief concern is that our subscribers should get the best possible service under all conditions. Skilled workers, adequate equipment, a resolve . to do our best, while realizing that we are all servants of the public—these are the factors which, we hope, will result in the maintenance of the pre-war standard of telephone service. - And we ask the kindly co-operation of all telephone users in— Making sure of the number by consult- ing the directory before calling; Speaking distinctly, directly into the f ' mouthpiece; Answering promptly when the bell rings.

Every one who bought Canada's Victory Bonds has feceived '5 4- per cent. interest per annum—paid twice a year. Over half a million Canadians who bought Canada's Victory Bonds on the instalment plan saved money that they would not otherwise have saved.. The guarantee back of Canada's Victory Bonds is the same as the guarantee back of a One Dollar or a Two Dollar bill. There is this difference, however, that you get interest on the Victory Bonds and you don't on the One or Two Dollar bill. Canada's Victory Bonds will always be accepted as security for a loan. Banks are ready to loan money on Canada's, Victory Bonds. - Canada's Victory Bonds may be turned into cash at any time. There is no other way in which you can invest your money with such absolute security—paying such a good rate of interest. Canada will soon give her citizens an opportunity to buy Victory Bonds - 1919. It will probably be the last chance to buy Canada's Victory Bonds on such favorable terms. - Prepare . to buy as tnany Victory Bonds this time as : you now wish you had been able to buy the last time a Vicforq "Ivery DollarSpc,n. inCanada" • lsamil by Canada' Victory Loan Committee, inco-epnrationiAth the Minister of Finance of tie Dominion. of Canada. e ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Anna Cash, the opera singer, was : sf once, a kitchen maid. .
