Long Distance
Calling
Since
Last Summer
• More long distance calls
are being handled at the Denver
switch boards this summer than ever
before in history. The great surges of
traffic which seemed so abnormal on
VE day and VJ day are being far ex
ceeded every business day now.
# The greatest increases
have occurred on calls to Phoenix,
Tucson, Casa Grande and Florence.
Some delays are inevitable. We are
bending every effort to relieve this
situation as rapidly as possible, but
serious shortages of facilities delay the
needed circuit additions.
# Until we can provide ade
quate facilities we ask your coopera
tion in avoiding unnecessary long dis
tance calls and in keeping necessary
calls as brief as possible.

Placing our trust in U- S.
Navy news releases just as we
placed our trust in the navy
during the war this newspaper
last week carried a navy news
release relating to the dis
charge of Seaman Ist class
Catl Goodman, who, from the
picture above, all can tell
• ain’t no she,’’. Yet the story,
handled in routine manner by
a new employee, appeared jusf
as the navy wrote it, includ
ing “Wiss**, 'daughter of'V
‘•she”, ets.
Our apology to the 18-year
old ex-sailor for not catching
the error made by navy news
writers who probably thought
the discharged veteran was a

was ••Gail.”
