The J1129 program, officials state, is one of the largest of its kind ever attempted in the South, and^nvalves a gross expenditure of more than $5,1000,000 for additions and reconetruchkm wodk. This big outlay .wiU result in 322 new circuits, a total of J#,000 circuit miles. By the end of the year 452,000 circuit miles, strong on 30,250 miles of pole line, will be in xmsc ' in the company's territory. In North Carolina and South Carolina the increase in the use of the long distance service win require 57 new circuits at an approximate cost of $1,236,000. This represents 21,033 circuit miles, bringing the total at the end of the year to 44,MO miles of long distance lines in service on 5,000 miles of pole line. One of the outstanding features? of the telephone development i/n South has been the rapid growth and improvement of the long distanue service, according to telephone officials. There has been an enormous increase in the number of calls, which has required new circuits, improved* transmission and high-speed service. The circuits to be added are said to be designed to handle a greate** volume of calls, and to increase the speed of the service throughout this section. Switchboards and other toll equipment will be enlarged and improved wherever necessary to meet the growing needs of the Southern states.

They get very thin, their eyes beaome sunken, tiheir appetites grow iless and less, their throats begin to narrow aind their stamachs shrink until they become entimejy incapacitated for receiving food. , After they have spawned 'they turn owsr and diq, .leaving windrows of muting carcasses on the banks of the creeks and risers. frequently the salmon meets with almost insurmauntable obstacles in its ' camr*e toward the spawning ground. High waterfalls may intervene. Here is where the salmon shows its superiority over most other fishes. ""Salmon will ascend waterfalls of considerable height.
