WHAT CARE I?
By CHARLES SCHEUER
_____ * v >
I am only the second fiddle
In the orchestra of her heart;
Yet what care I?—I love her!
No matter how humble my part.
She twists me around her pink finger
And I cry out with delight;
With a wisp of her curling tresses
She can hold me fast and tight.
For she is the queen of my fancy
And I am her lackey on call;
She dismisses me when she pleases,
My heart is a leather football.
I am willing to be her door-mat,
Pen-wiper, or any old thing,
If only she’ll smile on me sometimes
And list to the love-songs I sing.
I’m a blankety fool, yes, I know it,
And I’m glad her fool to be;
For what care I?—I love her!
That’s reason enough for me.

WHY ARE WE ADDING £3,000,000 WORTH
OF NEW TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT
IN SOUTH JERSEY THIS YEAR?
\ That’S a legitimate question.
Are we placing telephone equipment where we
think there will be a demand for service?
Are we constructing new buildings in the hope
• that there will be some future use for them ?
Far from it. On the contrary, the unprecedented’
demand for telephone service is forcing us to make
tremendous additions to the telephone system. ?
Our greatest problem now is to catch up—to
place^ enough equipment in Southern New
Jersey to meet the actual necessities of our
people for telephone service.
That’s the answer. ,
We are not seeking new subscribers. We are
placing equipment as fast as it is received from
the factories in an effort to give the people of
South Jersey the service they are asking for. r
