that job for the past two years we
have failed, and miserably failed,
and the sooner we as a nation real
ize it the better we can remedy our

He called for the suspension of the

Moreover, he charged that not a sin

OUR LOSS
.. .THE
NATION’S
GAIN
E ACHj>ne of the many
men who are daily step
ping out of the dress of the
telephone worker into the
uniform of our nation’s, de
fenders, is a distinct loss to
the telephone organization,
but a,valuable asset to c^ur
nation’s defense.
They are men already
trained, self-disciplined and
imbued with the true spirit
of service which develops
steadiness and self-reliance
under the strain of emergen
cies. Bell Telephone work
ers acquire these characteris
tics through training, and the
experience gained in main
taining the Bell System’s
ideals of service.
While these telephone
men are performing their
duties to the nation, they
and their families feel se-
cure in the knowledge that
when their country no long
er needs them in its armed
services there is a placo
awaiting them with the tele
phone company.
At home are 25,000 tele
phone workers, who, tltough
not wearing the imiform* of
our nation’s defenders, are
working harmoniously to
expand and safeguard the
liffbs of telephone communi
cation so vital to the oadon’s
defense program.
