The 1948· 1949 season of the Student Wives Association offacia.lly opened on n very encouraging note on October 19lh. That evening at least fifty hw.bands were left to their textbooks, graphs, and reports, while friend wife had herself an evening out with the girls, and, we might add, a very pleasant one.

We've proved ltl Problem : To hold down costs, and speed the extension of telephone service.

Solution : High-strength wire whose use a llows the span between poles to be increased from 150 feet to more than 300. One pole now does the work of two.

The problem, of course, is a con tinumg one for telephone people. High~st rength wire with required electrical qualities is only one of many things they have developed to help solve the problem in these days of high construction costs .

In total, their developments are the reason why telephone service here is the best in the world-the reason why a telephone call costs only a few pennies.
