Telephone Users In Mt. Pleasant Mirror of Times families The percentage of with telephone service In Mt. Pleasant is a good mirror of the times, according to Louis Kay, Mountain States Telephone Comp-a- y manager. He points to the last ten years as an example. In 1940, employment rolls were lower, many workers were part-timand life seemed for almost everyone 258 slower.' There were only telephones In service here then. Friends had the time so they visited each other frequently; housewives shopped before they bought. Then came the war. Employment went lip. it Everyone, since. seems, has been busy There is less time for visiting and less incentive for shopping. A servant to do the family chores, to make quick visits, and to generally save time was needed. The chosen. telephone was Today there are 609 telephones in servIncrease over ice here, a 136 e, 1940. Some of the additional telephones were installed for families new to the community, but Mr. Kay said, many of the new telephones were installed for the families who had lived here many years without service. Today a higher percentage of Mt. Pleasant families have a telephone than at He any other time in history. believes the pressure of time, an improve financial position, and a growing realization that telephone service is more than a convenience or a luxury have been responsible for this development Predicting the population changes in any community under normal circumstancese can be done rather accurately, the manager said. Predicting family demand for telephone service is difficult, and projecting future telephone requirements In that community depends on them both. Since the savings of more than a million stockholders rests on those predictions, the most careful judgment must be exercised. The Telephone Company, he stated, must keep in mind always that an investment unwisely made cannot be recovered. Sometimes growth surges outhe estimates, strip engineering When this said. It did here. the Telephone happens, both equipment Company and the manufacturers are hard pressed to When make up the deficiency. certain materials become short in supply, the pressure is worse. The objective of the Telephone Company is still to give service it is whenever and wherever needed. The efforts of the Company are directed to that end, the manager concluded.
