The telephone material supply situation
Is always one of factory capacity, labor,
raw materials and transportation.
Prior to August, 1914, the supply OF raw
materials; the manufactured output; labor
and transportation, was adequate. As a
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt srt
From June, 1915, to April, 1917, twhen
this country entered the wary prices aver
aged an advance of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intolerably slow
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from all parts of the world.
Platinum, used in switchboards, came
from Russia.
Silk, used in vast quantities for insulat-
eng wires, comes from japan.
Old MANILA rope, used in making paper
for insulating wires In cables, comes from
the wharves of the world.
Diamonds, used in drawing out fine wire
for use in switchboards, came from Europe.
Many other illustrations could be given.
These foreign sources of raw materials
supply were eliminated during the period
Of the European war and are now far be-
low normal.
Lead, copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture of telephone
equipment and materials, are also essential
for the making Of munitions. The war
greatly reduced the available amount OF
raw materials and leSSeneo the Lelepnone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in industrial centers which fur
nished the raw materials, and strikes and
cmbargoes on railroads essential to trans
portation Of both raw materials and the fin
kshed products, are prime factors In the
present shortage In telephone materials and
facilities
The factories Of our suppliers have ca
pacity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage Of productive labor, lack OF fuel,
shortage of transportation facilities and
embargoes affecting the sources Of raw ma
terials, have greatly interfered with their
possible output.
Today, with prices higher than war
prices, the demand greater than ever
known, current production is far lass than
the demand, being approximately 40 per
cent below the average, with deliveries slow
and uncertain.
In the face Of this condition the demand
for telephone service has increased and con-
tinues TO increase enormously.
To meet this demand all available sur
plus facilities and materials were gradual
IL but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
in 1917, the Government needs were, OF
course, given precedence and only small
part of the available raw materials manu-
factured from that date until the signing
of the armistice was allotted to telephone
companies.

DOING THINGS

(S128. 00). May God a~bundantly bless
the helping hands, and may His bless
ing attend the use of this splendid Of

The satisfaction which the new pipe

is giving, has stirred these workers to
give an order for the installation of
one in the Manse and one in the chap
ell.
sThe Ladies' Aid Society assumed
the responsibility to gather the needed
money, The membership has been di-
vided into seven groups. Each group
will be visited by two ladies'. The
visitation will be made next Monday
between the hours of , and 4. A pas
toral letter, in which the need will be
presented, will precede the ladies,
Thus in two hours the need of install
ing three heaters will be supplied-all
because the ladies are willing and hard
workers and the members are cheerful
and liberal givers.
The pastor wishes to say to the pub
lie. that in the % years of his ministry
he has never served, generally speak
ing, a more faithful and loyal people.
He necessarily praises God for such
splendid co-workers.

more beautifully served could hardly
be imagined, and prepared in the ex-

congratulated the Township for the
competent lot of officials they have
and the business-like and economic
manner in which they transact the
affairs of the taxpayers. He also high

EVANGELIST BROWN REMAINS
BY UNANIMOUS INVITATION.
Large Congregation Sunday Night
Claims Him for Another Week.
BIG MEMS MEETING ON SUNDAY

Notwithstanding the fact that last
Monday night was scheduled as the
close of the evangelistic campaign of
Rev. John E. Brown, of New York, at
Wesley NJ. E. Church, he was persuad-
ed to stay another week by the unani-
nous request of a congregation that
filled the main auditorium and part of
the class room adjoining last Sunday
night.
The Spirit of the Lord was manifest
ed in power at that service and nine
persons took a stand for Him, while
everyone in the edifice felt the pres
enc of the Holy Spirit. 1t was truly
a great service and those assembled
felt that it was good to be there. The
Mems meeting at four o'clock in the
afternoon, at which nearly $50 persons
were present, had been a mighty up
lifting prelude to the evening service.
Monday night another overflow aud
fence filled the auditorium to hear the
life story of Evangelist Brown. 1t was
a thrilling recital and demonstrated
emphatically the awful price required
of those who serve satan. The glor-
ious climax was when he forsook the
ways of sin and the Lord took him up.
His life since then has been one long
chapter of praise and endeaver to
show others wherein they may have
this same Saviour for the asking. He
concluded his story with a recital of
his experience two years ago when he
was brought before the courts of New
Jersey my the forces of satan. charged
with the murder of one of his best
friends. The killing was purely acct
dental. the victim being struck by Mr..
Browns automobile. At this point
sorrow choked the utterances of the
speaker, and it was some moments be-
fore he could continue. There could
be but n elimination to the trial,
for God was or the defendants side.
The services throughout the week
showed a marked increase in interest
and attendance and others sought the
mercy of the Master. Special singing
was a feature of each service. On
Thursday evening a quartet from
Christ Church, Atlantic City, was pres
ent and very impressiyely rendered
several selections. They were Miss
Helen Kennedy, Miss Dorothy Turner,
Mr. Wallace-Ms.hts aAd-Mr. Stanley
|Pafsels, Miss Helen D. Sinkinson was
accompanist.
Sunday will be the final day of Rev.
Browns campaign. according to seized
ule, and great things are expected.
The members and friends of Wesley
Church will find it profitable to start
in with the first service and attend
throughout the day.
Especial emphasis is placed on the
Mems Meeting at four o'clock, when a
record company of persons is expect
ed. The topic of Rev. Browns dis
curse is "An Hour with the Magda-
lenes in Chinatown" This is sure to
be interesting and contain an underly-
ing lesson that every man in Pleas
a~ntyille should hear. The final ser
vice will be held Sunday night and
this will be a grand elimination of a
most enjoyable and profitable season
of four weeks. The public is heartily
invited.
All persons who wish to join Wesley
Church are requested 10 be present
Sunday morning or evening.
