On September 1st, we discontinued answering requests for the "time of day." This was done because it is imperative now that all non-essential practices be eliminated to conserve labor and equipment. . When a subscriber lifts his telephone receiver and asks.' "What is ' correct time, please?" it requires as much of the operator's time and an equal use of tho telephone equipment as -would bo needed to com plete an ordinary telephone call. In North Platte alone, 000 requests for- tho time are made dally. ' The answering of such requests requires considerable use of equipment. 7 as well as the time of operators. - -? , The supply of transportation, kbor, raw material and equipment is ony sufficient to moot the present demands of tho Government and of industries either directly or in directly connected with tho prosecution' of tho War. It is therefore becoming more and more necessary to re duce non-essenUal services of every kind. s The telephone service is necessarily Alfsatert by the general condi tion of the labor and. material' market, and the less essential uses of tUf telephone must be restricted War ooncUtloris have greatly Increased the demands iQfr eoessair uervUm, which makes it Imperative that telephone semd in evory nosslble way. hp con- Please Do Not Ask the Operator the lime of Day The Nebraska Telephone
