Birch, manager for the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company. The addition of these new switchboards was necessary, Birch said, to assist with the companys plans to expand telephone service in the Roosevelt exchange by establishing new automatic dial systems at both Fort Duchesne and Myton. In addition, a portion of the new facilities will be utilized in furnishing long distance service and information assistance to all customers of the Uintah Basin Telephone Association when those offices are cut into service, the manager said. Before installation of the equipment could begin, it was necessary to remodel the building and move the business 'office to new quarters just next door north. Prior to the time the new switchboards were placed in operation, there were but three in service in this office. This comparison quickly points up the telephone expansion program which is unde way for this area. Only a short time ago there were 11 operators working on e basis. This number a has been increased to a total of 19 employees today with the new equipment in operation. By when the expansion program is scheduled to be completed, it is anticipated that a total of 25 operators will be required. Construction of a new fireproof building at Myton has been completed and installation of dial equipment will begin soon. This system will furnish one and four party type service to customers living within the city limits of that community. In addition, enough dial equipment will be provided to permit about 60 customers of the Uintah Basin Telephone Association living in the area south of Myton to be connected into the Mountain States system, Birch stated Work will soon begin on the building at Fort Duchesne to house the other dial unit. This new system will provide one and four party type service to those customers located within the Campus Area. Customers living at Gusher and Alterra will also be served by the Fort Duchesne system. The manager also stated that new lines will be constructed in the Ioka area. These will provide service to about 25 families who have made application and will permit a reduction in the number of parties per line for existing subscribers in this area, he said.

Helds H:::rts Are Heard By Thalma D. Nyc A meeting of the Duchesne County officers of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers was held Saturday afternoon.

Several reports were made by the county officers, including complimentary reports from the State Central Company to Duchesne County. Because several of the camps have not indicated much activity in the history activity contest being sponsored by the County group, it was decided to continue the contest until June 1, to allow members to file histories made in triplicate with the county historian, Mrs. Minnie Hamilton, Tabiona. The person owning the history is to keep one copy of the history, and send two copies to Mrs. Hamilton, who will file one copy with the County Historians File, and send one copy to the State Central Company to be filed at the DUP Memorial Building. History writing is Important to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers organizations, and the county officers would like to urge every member to participate in this important detail. Camp officers, especially, are urged to devote at least a portion of each meeting to the reading of histories by their members, these may be either personal histories, locality hishistories tories, of special events, diaries, etc. After reading in the camps, they should be sent to Mrs. Hamilton as stated above.
