During busy periods operators arcun-ablc to answer all calls immediately because all of their Switchboard cords arc in use. The time has. come, therefore, when we must ask our telephone users to telephone less and shorten their conversations. We ask that only the more necessary calls be placed . and that they be made as brief as possible. "Telephone gossiping" should be eliminated for the duration of the war. We arc doing our best to give service to as many people as possible with the equipment which we have; but the volume of calling must be reduced so that the more essential calls will not be delayed.
