There is the web of wires. The many switchboards. The man of apparatus. The millions of telephones. All are parts of s country-wide mechanism for far-speaking. The equipment has cost ovsr two billion dol lars, but more than equipment is needed. There must be the guardians of the wires to keep them vital with speech-carrying elec trical currents. There must be those who watch the myriads of tiny switchboard lights and answer your commands. There must bs technicians of every sort to construct, repair and operate.
