Far oif a drum-roll started. In the afternoon it had rained and now the cool night air was moist and silent. From time to time footsteps could be heard passing by on the concrete walk beneath the window. Mostly, however, there was only quiet, a dull dead quiet. The dram-roll rose out of the moist air like a murmur from a distant womb. It seemed to be the first murmur of life. The blond-haired boy looked up from his book. "What'll they think of next?" he asked. But his roommate had long ago fallen asleep. The boy looked at him sleeping there, clicked his tongue in disappoint­ ment, turned off his desk lamp, and stared out the Avindow. The street lights which illumined the campus walks were still on, and a dull glow crept into the wet air from bulbs which should have been changed before the First World War. The sound of drums had grown louder but it was still distant and muffled by the night. A floor below him, the boy heard a door open, then another. The drum- roll became more pronoimced; it was coming nearer. As it moved slowly across the sleeping campus other drums joined in, one by one, and the sound began to rise and fall in somber rhythm. Other doors were being opened and still, hur­ ried footsteps were descending the stairs. The blond-haired boy heard a" scuffle behind him and turned in time to see his sleeping roommate slip out the door, walk to the stairwell, and disappear. Along the corridor almost all the doors had been left open; the darkened rooms had given up their contents. He felt alone and scared. The building was ,/ deathly quiet. Outside the sound was ^ beckoning. He slipped on his shoes and left.

Marking another Milestone

Rich in history and rich in promise, too-that's York County, Pennsylvania. And the telephone company covering this prosperous and progressive community has recently become a member of the General Telephone family. York's pattern of growth is typical of the areas Gen Tel serves in 31 states. Long famous for its fertile fwlds and well-kept farms, the county has enjoyed a remark­ able industrial expansion since World War II. Typical, too, of these growing areas is their growing need for more telephones. And that is where Gen Tel comes in with the experience to provide improved ser­ vice and the willingness to invest in modem communi­ cations equipment. This is just one of the ways we are working to supply more and better telephone service for a growing America-present and future. GENERAL TELEPHONEiELECT/tONICS •-.ejte'MiK
