When she kicked over the lantern in the barn, the cow started the great Chicago fire of 1871 which caused a loss of almost al-most $200 million. But while a cow can start a conflagration, more often a fire owes Its inception to a more common couse. Misuse of electricity, elec-tricity, for Instance. Every day 'throughout the land, defective : wiring, faulty electrical connec tions, amateur repairs or the like, start fires which cause a substantial loss to property own ers. Nearly 10 of all fire losses, in fact, are traced to the misuse of electricity. James Murdock Family Reunion An Ounce of Fire Prevention Is Worth a Ton of Water 0F:EM REAL ESTATE INS. AGENCY O. II.

WiHiaras, 308 E. 3 South Provo. I bay. sell, rent AND TEACH The growth of Provo and the increased tempo of business activity ac-tivity in this area is forcefully shown by some telephone statistics statis-tics released today by Mr. J. L. Bickmore, District manager of The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company. Company-wide statistics prove similarly sim-ilarly that business activity is at an all-time high in the entire Mountain States area. Although many people be-that be-that tha end nf the war tlVfWl . w..w i would see a definite leveling off, if not a decline, in demand xor telephone service, the eleven months since V-J Day have witnessed wit-nessed unprecedented new demand de-mand for service, as well as record-breaking usage of telephones tele-phones by subscribers. In Provo, there were 3286 telephones in service June 30, 1941. Although wartime demand de-mand for new telephone service was very great, material shortages short-ages held down the gain in telephones, tele-phones, and in June, 1945, this number had increased to a total of 5177- As of June 30, 1946, with a number of orders unfilled, un-filled, there are 6441 telephones in Provo. The same general trend is true throughout the seven states served by the Teiepnone Com pany. In June, 1941, the Company Com-pany had 558,000 telephones in service; in June, 1945, 680,000; and at the present time, more than 780,000. The new demand for telephones in the Mountain States territory since January 1, 1946, has been at a rate of more than 150,000 for the year. When this figure is compared with the higher pre-war gain in telephones for a full year 35,700 in 1941 it can easily be seen that all records for business busi-ness activity in tms region and the seven states are being broken. And people are using their telephones more often, too; In Provo, 48,000 local calls are be ing made per day, compared with 32,700 a year ago. In the seven mountain states this daily average is 700,000 calls higher than a year ago. Likewise, long distance calls handled at the Provo switchboard are averaging averag-ing 38 percent more per day than in July, 1945. This tremendous increase In number of telephones in service and in the usage of these telephones, tele-phones, has come about in the face of continuing shortages of critical materials, such as copper, cop-per, lead, steel, lumber and poles. As an example, in 1941 there were 67,000 tons of copper cop-per available monthly to consumers, con-sumers, whereas in May and June, 1946, this figure was down to 17,000 tons monthly. Because of these material shortages, substantially the same switchboards as the Company had in service in Provo a year ago are carrying a tremendously tremendous-ly increased load. With equipment equip-ment taxed to capacity some service difficulties have been unavoidable, both on local and long distance calls. When asked what the company com-pany is doing to relieve congestion conges-tion in local telephone offices and on long distance circuits, Mr. Bickmore said, "Our company com-pany is engaged this year in 253 projects for relief of manual man-ual telephone exchanges, and in our dial offices we will place in service almost 45,000 additional terminals. As for long distance, we will complete this year approximately ap-proximately 100 projects which will add 14.000 miles of circuits to our existing long distance net work in the Mountain States alone." "You can see from these figures," fig-ures," Mr. Bickmore said, "that Provo is just one of several hundred hun-dred exchanges in the Mountain States which are badly in need of additional facilities and for which eauioment has been engi neered and ordered. Shipment, of new equipment from the fac- tories continues to be somewhat uncertain, but we have beenj making progress despite short-1 ages." ! "Meanwhile," he added, "wet are doing everything humanly ... . At 1 A t 1 I possime to renaer me oesi iotai and long distance service we can under these conditions. For a while longer, we hope that unnecessary un-necessary long distance calls can be avoided. We are anxious to complete as many calls as possible pos-sible many are essential business busi-ness calls, emergency . calls, calls relating to movement of crops to market, etc. In some cases, despite all we can do, delays de-lays are frequent on heavily congested con-gested circuits and brevity on all calls will helo everyone to get better service." Mr. Bick-I more concluded. ftp VOU PLAN TO HAV6 I A HOME OF COMFORT I you should see spmons ! l r j .ii . I' i naa Mr. and Mrs. B. M.
