so much attention is given to good deeds as o the other kind. When things
go smoothly nobody notices it; when they don't go smoothly everybody
notices ii. We want them to go smoothly all he tme and we want every

PUBLIC SERVICES GIGANTIC TASKS
Last week we told you som facts about what PUBLIC SERVICE had
done for the public lin the way of providing new tracks, more cars, more gas
mains and more electricity, with service at materially reduced rates. That
information gave you something ITO think about, If you were interested, but
it didn't begin to tell til, story of the pr obhns that had to be solved We
are goinp to rive o the details. though. from tins TO tim. md in The
meantime just ponder the fact that:
PUBLIC SERVICE provides trolley facilities in 10 munich
paItics.
PUBLIC SERVICE furnishes gas In II3 separately governed
communities.
PUBLIC SERVICE generates electricity for the residences
and business places of 1S cities and towns.
All of which may be taken to mean that PUBLIC SERVICE,
too, has its troubles.
