PHONE COMPANY
Will Make BIG
IMPROVEMENTS
100000 Program Scheduled
For Maryland

Approximately 100000 will be
spent in the immediate future In ex'
tending telephone plant facilities ana
improving the service In Maryland
This announcement by the Chesapeake
anG Potomac Telephone Company, fol-
lowing closely upon the establish
ment of new rates by the Public serV'
ice Commission, indicates clearly the
steps the Company is taking to bring
the service up to the highest stand
ards of efficiency.
F. S. Whitman, division manager OF
the c. & p, said that the Company
expects to spend s1O,OOO,00O on i'm
provements in the next three years
The new rates enable the Company
to go ahead with a comprehensive
program, he said, and projects total.
ing 100000 have already been ap'
proved and operations started in many
cases. A good deal now depends on
the Company's ability to get the ma
terials needed, but every possible ef'
fort is being made to secure them.
Thc construction schedule is
lengthy one. In Cumberland, the
growing requirements Of the city viii!
be met by extensive additions to the
Underground and overhead cable sys'
tens. Cumberland's population has
been jumping rapidly and it is ex
pected to double within the next four
years. To take care of the increased
demand for telephone service, the
Company's plant is now being en-.
larged by a pole line 1870 feet of
overhead cable and approximately
1890 feet of underground cable.
Several other branch cable and pole
lines will be needed later.
In Hagerstown, increased facilities
will be provided by the installation
OF new switchboard section and 500
additional subscriber lines, bringing
the total number Of lines which can
be served up to $500. The present
method of handling toll calls will
be changed and improved, and audible
ringing apparatus will be installed.
In Montgomery County, repairs will
be made on the toll lines between
Washington and Frederick, Gathers
burg and Damascus and Gaithersburg
and Poolesville.
Some OF the more important prof
ects to be undertaken in and near
Baltimore are building and equipping
new central Office, equipping
school for student operators, new
cables and extensions in various
parts of the city and its suburbs, and
the equipment of a new central office
at st. Helena.
In addition to these, there are
scores of operations to be undertaken
IL other parts of the State that are OF
lesser magnitude, but Of first impor
lance to the communities where the
improvements will be made.

Rome.-For the first time in history
a pope has posed for the motion pic
ture camera.
Not only was permission granted for

took leading part, posing first with
various groups and then for "clnse;
ups" and expressing much amusement
at the persistence of the Americau
photographers, who went within four
feet of the pontiff and snapped him
smiling into the camera.
This occurred after the pope had
celebrated mass for the visiting Amer

vatican gardens and had given holy
communion personally to each knight
Vatican officials were amazed that the
pope appeared In these scenes for
about 20 minutes, and which proved
the most complete pictures ever taken
of vatican ceremonies.
