somehow there didn't seem

the opinion of the majority.
There were a couple of com-

our times, too.

A person could really go
into detail when speaking of
such an event and get a lit-

you some of the ordeal.

The highlight of the re-

TELEPHONE EXPANSION:

There'll be
delays...

A strike disrupts normal operations in any industry. And the
telephone strike is no different.

The men and women of B.C. Tel’s management are rightfully
Proud of the job they’re doing to maintain service for existing
customers and to meet many of the needs of new customers.

They're keeping the machinery working well and each week
they now handle more than 1 :000,000 long distance calls, clear
hundreds of out-of-service troubles and complete thousands of
customer service orders.

Still, 1,500 people can’t maintain all of the activities normally
carried out by more than 8,000 people.

The strike has interrupted certain construction work scheduled
this summer in our $73,000,000 expansion Program for 1969. And
in vibrant British Columbia, where communications needs grow
quickly, it's obvious this prolonged disruption of normal activities
will bring some inconvenience and delay in meeting new com-
faunications requirements of the future. Hee cies

We are anxious for a settlement to end this disruption so we
can all get on with the building of new telephone facilities for
British Columbia.

At the same time, we must meet our responsibility to all British

Columbians, assuring that the settlement reached is one which
