"He has showed a lot of ability and learned a great deal in his first year."

Lujack signed only one contract I with the Bears after his graduation from Notre Dame.

And he knows how much it can mean, in time, convenience and travel saved, for each new telephone customer.

Telephone installers, like other telephone men and women, would like nothing better than to be able to connect every new telephone on the very day it is asked for. Most of the time, in most places, this can be done. But when new cable, new switchboards and other Central Office equipment are needed as is sometimes the case new telephones just can't be installed on short notice. The job takes time and it takes many materials that are anything but plentiful. But we're doing everything we possibly can to meet every request for service, both civilian and military, with the least possible delay.
