THE WILL TO SERVE Poles, wires, cable, switchboards—these are the mate­ rial parts of the telephone system! But then there are the people who make these things serve you—over ten thousand of them. They build, maintain and improve the telephone plant—bring its service to you. All put warmth and life into your telephone. To the nation’6 war effort their work is vital. Long ago we found that you can’t rule courtesy and friendly interest into being. Telephone courtesy comes from inside. It is, in essence, the will to s&fve. Without the men and women workers who have caught this idea, telephone service as you know it would riot be possible. It is they who make a living reality of our policy, “the best tele* phone service at the lowest cost Consistent with financial safety,’’
