Ideal friendship.

msincerity may fascinate-but 1t is
Tot lovable. Only honesty and direct.
ness of dealing can win a lasting at.
oRchment. Artificial folk are desper.
ately afraid Of the picturesqueIy un.
conventional actions that they think
will make them ridiculous. They are
30 stiff and starched in their unman-
nerLness that they are hopelessly un-
interesting. Sticklers for etiquette
and for the Observances of all the mi
nor canons of good form, they find SO
many petty, silly rules to follow that
they have no time to give rein to large
and generous impulses. A personality
that makes itself count ardently and
EHstingly in other lives and for the
worlds well being is too high for spite,
too noble for mean, small ways, too
genuine for intrigue and innuendo and
too faithful to sacrifice friend.

After The-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service

XVTHllE the nation was under the stress In
w cident to winning the war, we asked our
" subscribers and the public to be patient
with the telephone service and to limit its use as
much as practicable In order that we might handle
the urgent business of the nation efficiently.
Now that the armistice has been signed and
hoStllltles have ceased we are confronted with
problems OF the reconstruction period, which are
equally as serious and which will require time and
patience for solution.
The policy OF frankness which we have prac-
tlced prompts us to make 1t clear that the difficult
ties under which we are now operating are such
that 1t will be many months before we can bring
our service back to the standard Of efficiency pre-
vailing prior to the European war.
The abnormal increase In the volume of tele-
phone calls due to war activities created need
tor greater number OF operators and we have
been diligently building up an enlarged operating
force. When this situation was very well in hand
last fall the influenza epidemic played havoc with
our forces and our losses from illness and death
are still alarming. AS result of this combination
of circumstances, the percentage Of new and mex
perienced operators is large and there is now
serious shortage although our training schools are
graduating large classes every month.

causes the public has been considerate and we
have been able to handle heavier traffic than
seemed humanity possible and have installed
promptly and operated efficiently the telephone
plants required by the government at army camps
and other similar institutions.
The situation confronting our service is more
serious now than it was when fighting was in
progress. The public has relaxed from its ten
sion and is inclined to expect our service to at
once assume its pre-war efficiency. We deem it
our duty to make this frank statement and urge.
you to continue the conservation of the service
which proved so helpful during the time of our
nation greatest need
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the SUI
perUsion Of the Postmaster General, and our loyal
organization is making patriotic effort TO perfect
the service Your continued cooperation and
encouragement will be appreciated
