Before the Germans left Greece in
October of 1914, UNRRA was unable
to establish their work there, and
Miss Bruce waited in Egypt for sew
eral months. She also spent while
in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, where
she saw the same Biblical olive trees

Before that time, she carried out

although she has lately worked with
tragedy and disaster, her unforget-
table experiences are as exciting

The requested increase will not produce all the added

Today than BEFORE Mississippi needs adequate
dependable telephone service and purpose pro-
vide it. We furnishing service to Mississp
plans than at any other time in our history.
Both local and long distance calls have reached all
time high for this state and and people want
telephones installed telephones in 1916 But
still have $500 orders hand for telephone service
Our study of the states growth indicates that the demand
for service from present well customers win
continue to increase
Although the cost Of everything do to provide service
keeps going up local telephone rates generally
more today than go gears ago 0e long distance rates
Because of this the amount of paying
out is increasing faster than the amount taking in
despite record volume of business Since 1940 the costs of
providing service in Mississippi have climbed 148 per cent
while revenues have increased only 116 per cent.
Total payroll increased 265 per since 1940
Wage in Mississippi have been raised during the past
two years by 98s0co an annual basis. This in
keeping with national policies and trends and to
petent personnel provide adequate service We have
$500 Southern Bell people providing service to Mississp
plans Wages for about twohrds of operating
costs.
The cost of erecting telephone buildings rs to 100
per cent the overall cost of providing telephone facilities
is up so to 65 per cent.
The rapid advance of costs in comparison with
has caused rate of earnings down. In 194O the
Company earning 81 per the amount of money
invested the state In 1916 earning rate only $40
of one per cent The 1916 reflects the latest in
