A FRANK TALK —
ABOUT THE SURREY

PHONE SITUATION

A phenomenal population growth has caused a record demand for telephone ser-
vice in the Surrey area. This demand is far in excess of your telephone Compan}
ability to provide an immediate solution to the problem particularly in view of the ex-
isting shortages situation, which is still acute. 5

We in the telephone Company have a definite relief program planned in fact, it
is already under way, but, unfortunately, it hinges on a factor over which we have no
control, the supply situation. We needn’t remind you that this problem of shortages
is not peculiar to the Surrey area, nor is it peculiar to the telephone business alone; it’s
a situation that has been felt in e y business and by all people to some degree. We
have all been “in the same boat.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP

At the present time,

our Telephone Company is handling the heaviest load of
telephone calls in its history, and this situation will become even more aggravated with
the great influx of summer residents. 1

In order to give-telephone service to as'many people as possible, we have ov
taxed our central office equipment, and as a natural yesult the standard of service
has deteriorated. In other words, as a result of our giving some kind of service to as
many people as possible the quality of service has suffered.

With the co-operation of all telephone users this situation could be relieved; that
is, by making fe : and shorter telephone calls All can help in the present emergen-
cy by reducing the number of personal telephone calls and by limiting the length of
telyphone conversations. Will you please help as much as possible?

THE “WHY” OF THE SITUATION

During the war years, telephone development we
ment regulations. Ever since the w

strictly curtailed by Govern-
rit has been our aim to get our system back to
normal as quickly as possible, but we, like other telephone systems throughout the
continent, have been faced with the forbidding obstacle of shortages, inability of fac-
fories to deliver and adequate supply of switchboard, dial equipment, cable, wire,

instruments, in fact, of anything needed to give telephone service. Some supplies have
been dribbling through, but not in sufficient quantity to meet the backlog of wartime

applications and the great post-war demand.

Adding tremendously to this problem of demand for service h
growth of B, C’s population, and few, if any, sections of the pro
greater population increase than the Surre

WHAT WE ARE DOING

In Cloverdale, we have added switchboard up to the point where it is impossible
to add further to the present equipment, and plans now’ call for the replacement of
Cloverdale’s manual central office system ith a dial system, as soon ag it is possible
to do ~,

We have already made additions to the dial
more dial equipment on order,

A third central office to serve the Surrey area, Newton, is now under constric-
tion. White Rock long-distance calls, now handled by the Cloverdale operating staff,
will be handled through Newton when equipment now on order becomes available,
thereby giving further relief to the hard-pressed Cloverdale office,
