' In many places where new additions to outside plant and central offices were not required we are now installing telephones without delay. But in places where additional outside lines and cables are needed or where central office switchboards must be manufactured and installed it will require more time before we can catch up with orders for telephones noyr on hand. Building new lines, installing new cables over head and underground and expanding central office facilities, which, in many instances, calls for new buildings or building additions, is a big unddttak- ing. It's a job that requires a tremendous amount of labor and time to complete. We are anxious for all who want service to get it. And you may be sure that we are doing all we can to hasten the day when no one will have to wait for telephone service. Southern Beu Telephone and Telegraph Company INCOftKHUTfO “Me... I’m staying in the Army! THERE ARE PLENTY OF REASONS ... AND HERE THEY ARE!” “First, I keep my present grade. That means a lot. 6 2 “By reenlisting for 3 years I can pick my own branch of service in the Air, Ground or Service Forces, and can go to any overseas theater I wish. 0 “I get my mustering-out pay, ^ even though I’m reenlisting. Also, I get $50 a year reenlistment bonus for each year I’ve been in the Army. My dependents receive family allowances for the full term , of my enlistment. And I’ll be >: i eligible for GI Bill of Rights bene fits when I ^et out of the Army. 4 “My food, clothes, quarters, medical and dental care are all t supplied to me. And I can learn any of 200 skills or trades in the Army schools. , “Any time after 20 years I can retire at half pay increas ing year by year to three-quarters retirement pay after 30 years^of service. And the time Fve already served in active military or naval , service counts toward my retire ment time. Added up—reenlist ment seems pretty sound to me!” 5 “All of us who are reenlisting are going to have from 30 to 90 days’ furlough at home with full pay and our travel paid both ways. And we’ll have 30 days’ fur- lough every year with pay. ***************** JAPARY 31,1946 AN IMPORTANT DAT I FOR MIN IN THI ARMY MEN imw in Army wkn rMnlitt bnfer* February 1 will b« r««n- litlMl in present grade.
