On my way to the market
this morning, noticed a tele-
phone truck parked in front
of Jane Pauls house. l wasn't
surprised when Jane called
this afternoon to say she'd
gotten her telephone.
She said she is on a party line,
the same as 1 am. The tele.
phone installer had explained
that about seven out of every
ten families with telephones are
ON party lines. Jane said if IL
weren't for party.line service,
she would have had to wait q
lot longer for her telephone.
That reminded me of some
thing I was reading in the
newspaper last night about
the telephone company's con-
struction and improvement
program. The news article
said that ain spite of the
rapid progress being made On
this program, some people
are still waiting for tsle-

that "the company was max

party-hne facilities because
party lines mean more serv.
