The recent ice storm dealt a giant blow to por tions of five Southern states. For telephone facili ties, it was the worst ice storm in history. Tele phone poles and wires snapped under the weight erf tons of glittering ice. Eighty-seven thousand telephones and 3,174 Long Distance circuits were knocked out, and 181 communities isolated. While ice still sparkled on the magnolias, the Telephone team swung into action. From all nine Southern Bell states, repair crews, cable, wire and poles were swiftly assembled. By rail, truck and plane they came, as skilled Telephone repairmen worked around the clock. i That’s the kind of resources and teamwork it takes when nature goes on the rampage. It cuts weeks off the time it takes to restore service. And that’s mighty important as the Nation mobilizes for Defense. It’s good to know that whenever such disaster comes your way, an abundance of help—from other states if needed—won’t be far behind. It’s good, too, that regardless of where a Bell Telephone man comes- from, the tools, the materials and methods he’ll work with are the same as those he uses back home.
