The Voice
of Defense"
Reports to
Texas
In times like these, when our way of life is
threatened, Texans turn to their fastest, most
dependable means of communication—and ask—
Is our telephone system prepared to handle
its vital role as the 'Voice of Defense'...
Here's part of the answer. There are twice as many
telephones serving Texas as there were before
World War II Thousands of miles of l„„g distance
circuits have been added. Over 17,000 more
telephone men and women are on the job to see
this new emergency through-skilled, experienced
people, tested and proved in many emergencies.
But preparedness means continued growth. We're
looking ahead and working ahead to keep
telephone service one of Texas' greatest assets
in its defense efforts.
