BECAUSE THEY KNEW
ROADS . .
THEIR HELP WAS NEEDED
Te sleet storm played havoc with
the lines that sullen winter day.
Poles crashed. Wires snapped un-
der the accumulation of ice. Every
available man was needed to make
repairs.
Miles away, on the other side of
the mountain, a crew of West Penn
men was busy on new construction
work. There was no way to call
them — but no call was needed.
Immediately they set out, into
tain roads, ice covered and haz-
ardous, they traveled by the short-
est route to give their services.
These men knew that hours of the
hardest kind of work waited at
their journey’s end. They under-
took the trip cheerfully —set to
work willingly. West Penn people
