McAlister meet more effectively the growing demand for improved and expanded service in the state, both in the rural and urban areas. “The division’s establishment is a significant milestone in the progress of the state and the company. The extent of that progress is emphasiz ed by the fact that Southern Bell’s proposed expenditure of $12,000,000 on improvement and expansion in 1949 alone is nine times the 1936- 1940 pre-war rverage. “This huge i: . estment not only is a recognition < South Carolina as the fastest groving state served by Southern Bell b it also is evidence of the company’s firm faith in the state's future. “Our 1949 pi ms include the pro vision of -facilities to improve both local and long distance service and to expand sendee to new areas both in rural sections and in cities and towns over the state. Many miles of new lines will be constructed, and in order to house new central office fa cilities, new buildings and building additions will be erected in several localities. In total, our 1940 construc tion program for South Carolina will be the largest in history, demonstrat ing cftir all-out efforts to meet the demands of South Carolinians for more and improved telephone ser vice. Mr. McAlister said that with cre ation of the new division. Southern Bell’s annual payroll in South Caro lina will total about $8,000,000, and that more than 3,200 persons will be employed by the company in the stafe when the new organization is fully established. Mr. McAlister, who will direct Southern Bell’s commercial oper ations for the new division, is a tele phone man of wide experience. His career with Southern Bell dates from 1921 when he entered telephone ser vice at Jackson, Miss. After filling a variety of important a-ssignments with the company in Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana, he was ap pointed commercial supervisor in the Atlanta general offices in 1930. Three years later, he was named division commercial supervisor for North and South Carolina with headquarters in Charlotte. In 1935, he was appointed manager at Louisville. After serving in that post for four years, Mr. Mc Alister was appointed Miami district manager. His appointment as Ken tucky manager came in 1943. Negro Youth, Harbored By Police, Takes Police Car (Says The Laurens Advertiser). Robert Washington, colored youth • of Augusta, doesn’t take much stock in the old proverb about" biting the hand that feeds you,” according to Chief of Police W. T. Ivey. Washington arrived in the city one day last week very low in funds and wet from heavy rains he had been walking in. Police bedded him for the night, harbored him for the next few days and were.trying to get him a jot). What happened? Sunday night about 8 o’clock he spied the city car unguarded along side the city hall. He got in, turned on the gas and away he went. Officer James Barrett was puz zled when he saw the car speeding out South Harper street in the di rection of Augusta and inquired im mediately at headquarters. Seeing the car missing, headquarters sent out a ‘‘catch him” call by radio and Dep uty Sherif Paul Prince heard it at the sheriffs office. Prince jumped into his car and gave chase, catching up with the fleeing car below Water loo. Washington was going too fast to make the curve t o Cothran’s bridge and turned instead toward Clinton, almost landing in the ditch and damaging the car to some ex- 12,000,000 PROGRAM in 1949 to improve and expand telephone service in cities, towns and rural sections of South Carolina all ovt^ AMERICA’S BIGGEST COLA VALUE!

Southern Bell will spend $12,000,000 this year to provide more and better telephone service for the people of South Carolina in the area served by the Company. The program is the largest in the Company’s history and is evidence of the remarkable growth of the State and Southern Bell’s faith in the future of South Carolina. i A Program to Extend And Improve Service The Company’s record - breaking $12,000,000 program for 1949 will pro vide facilities for the improvement of local and long distance service and for the extension of service in rural sec tions and in cities and towns through out the State. It is a big jdb that will call for construction of many miles of new lines — nlew buildings or building additions in many places along with the installation of vast quantities of central office equipment. Many new long distance circuits are also to be added in order to handle more calls more quickly. It’s a big job, yea, bat it is what South Carolina needs and wants and is what we plan to provide State Headquarter* Office Established for South Carolina South Carolina has grown by leaps and bounds during the past few years. In order to better serve this fast grow ing section, Southern Bell is establish ing South Carolina headquarters offi ces in Columbia. Headquarters were formerly located in Charlotte. With the establishment of these new State offices, the Company will employ 3,200 persons in South Carolina with an annual pay roll of about $8,000,000 — bringing new job opportunities and bigger pay rolls so important to the prosperity of the State. Good Telephone Service I ital to State's Progress Southern Bell recognizes the impor tance to the progress and prosperity of South Carolina of a constantly im proving and expanding telephone com munication system.
