Stores can spread their
Christmas rush over
several weeks, but we
have to handle an avalanche
of long distance
calls on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
This Christmas, though during the year we have
built many additional thousands of miles of long
? distance circuits and greatly expanded switchboard
facilities, there will still be more calls made on
Christmas Day than the lines can carry.
This year, more telephone people than ever before
will work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day,
ii
serving you, doing their level best to complete your
holiday calls. Every available circuit will be in
service. But, despite our best efforts, there are sure
to be delays and disappointments.
If your calls get caught in the rush, please remember
the difficult conditions under which telephone
folks will be working to get your call through.
