ttLong Distance," then and nowTh e first public demonstration of "long distance" telephone conversation was held in November o f 1876 b et we en B ost on an d Salem, fifteenm i l c ~apart. At both point s were pos ted not ices commanding absolutesilence of those present , lest th e experiment fail.

As'lines were established between more distant cities, the struggle with" outside" an d ' ~ i n s i d e "noises increased. Those who used the tollservice i n t he Nineties an d even later wil l recall how they ha d to sh ou tt o d ro wn out the buzz and crackling on th e wires, if possible.

In fair weather, all went well-sometimes. But the storms of winter, an d

even of ummer, put the c r ~ d elines ou t of service in wholesale fashion.It is not unnatural that fifty years of telephone history should have markedgreat progres::: in these respects.

That the ordinary tone of voice no w ca rr ie s t o t he Paci fi c or to Cubaperhaps causes no public wonder-certainly n ot so much as to the thousands of technicians who worked so many years against great obstaclesto accomplish it.

We are fast approaching a practically storm-proof plant in Pennsylvania,in which over three mil lion miles of exchange wire an d a quarter of amilli()n. of tol l wire ar e no w i n cables.

In. many ways not cons'ciously observed by the users of th e service it isbeing surrounded by continually increased protection and dependability.

.An d today, greater effort is beingmacle along these l ines t ha n a t anyprevious time in ou r fifty years of history.
