DIAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM SERVES ( Continued from Page One) hope of ever getting the dial sys- tem ana irankly we were enter taining some doubts, too. The war certainly played havoc with our original plans back in 1941. You probably recall that we had just started the new building and were promptly stopped by the War Production Board. I feel deeply the fact that I am not able to be with you in person." Mayor Woster, "Yes, I know you have had a lot of difficulty j cut perhaps we will enjoy this new system all the more for having waited so long." Mr. Agee, "Perhaps I shouldn't be saying this but if we had Known Dack Deiore tne war what that new building and the dial equipment were going to t cost us, I doubt very much if you would be talking to me to night" Mayor Woster, "Well, I. wouldn't worry too much about that, Mr. Agee.

"We will try to take full advantage cf that fact." Mr: Agee," By the way. Mayor, did you know that the first tele phones were installed in Piatts mouth in 1879? That is especially interesting because it was only thiee years after the telephone was invented. I imagine you have some people still living in Piatts mouth that could tell some in- j teresting storics about those days. Mayor Woster, "Yes, that's 1 true, in fact we have two old- ! timers here with us tonight Mr. j Pollock and Mr. Baird. Both these gentlemen are very fa il'ar with the early history of Piattsmouth.."
