Edwards, council member from Columbia, told how new. industries could be financed, and Ernest Patton of Greenville, of South Carolina Bankers' association, said local bankers -in the state had been authorized by: Federal reserve board to local needs and to make available information as to. methods of financing new industries and manufacture of materials.

Director Heyward Mahon, of the defense council said his organization would give full cooperation to. local committees in their efforts to secure new industrics. Dr. William P. Jacobs of Clinton, council chairman, said the meeting's purpose was two-fold: "First, it is to interest outside industry in the natural resources of this state, and, second, it is to interest the people of South Carolina in their own industries.

"We want our' own people wakened to these resources. We want them to know these resources and to invest their own, hardearned cash in the development of. the resources." Doctor Jacobs said that a major South Carolina problem was that "We too long have been depending upon other people." His point was that the council was interested not only in developing the state's natural resources and in increasing the industries, but in having South. Carolinians do it. That was why the meeting was called, he said.

Nearly 300,000 new telephones were installed and abouc 180,000 taken out, making a net gain for. the year of more than 110,000. Sixty-eight new central offices were built and put into service.

Twelve of these wire new exchanges while fifty-' six replaced manually operated offices with the newest type dial. equipment. Rural sections also shared liberally in this program. The gross expenditures for new construction and replacements, exceeded $40,000,000. It was a year of outstanding accomplishments achieved under exceptional conditions.

The thousands of telephone men and women responsible for this work are justly proud of the results. They begin the new year confident in their ability to meet the future telephone requirements of this fast growing section of the nation.
