More than an3rthing else, they are reassurance that life goes on as usual—back home. ' The traditional courtesy of tele phone men and women and the efficiency of the service often prompt telephone users to ask if there is not some secret for mula for this consistent per formance. In reality there is no secret. It is just the practical operation of group cooperation, individ ual interest and pride in the job, and company spirit. Telephone employes are se lected with care. They are con stantly trained, kept fully in formed about the company’s af fairs, and are continually en couraged to acquire the skill and experience neccksary to maintain and improve the speed, accuracy and dependability of die service. The consciousness that theirs is an essential public service gives them a sense of personal responsibility. Good woricing conditions and recognition of individual merit are also sources of inspiration. The company’s |>lan for re tirement and care of its work ers during sickness or disability, and die provbion for deaA benehts all safeguard their pres ent and future and promote peace of mind. Further incen tives to their cheerfulness and efficiency are stability of em ployment and good wages. Telephone men and women also kimw that the appredadon and Interest so often expressed by the public is shared by the management ^ tl^ company.
