During that twelve-month period we gained 20,806 telephones in Utah twice as many as in any twelve-month period before in our history! At the first of this year there were 11,299 Utah families whose orders for service had not been filled. 9,887 of those applicants" now have service. In spite of every effort we have been unable to catch up with demand, de-mand, however, for as old orders are cleared new orders for service , pile up. We want the 9,200, families fami-lies who are now waiting, to know that we are doing our best to serve them soon. Not only are there more telephones in use, but people are using them more. Local calls in Utah are running at the rate of 909,000 daily. That's an increase of 23 over last year, which had been our busiest year. Long Distance calls too are at an all-time high, ... As your telephone needs have increased, in-creased, we have increased our forces to take care of those needs and we now have more employees than ever before. In 1940 there were 1286; today there are 2164. They have been resourceful and competent in meeting unprecedented unprece-dented demands for service. There has been no time when what we call the "Spirit of Service" was more important. ; t -i (V- ' '" ; ' c : We are carrying out the largest construction program; 'hVvUtah in.?!! , our .history this, year.
