CORRECTION
Due to a misunderstanding
on the part of The Tribune ad.
man, the Schlitx advertise
ment appearing: in last week's
issue for the Elkin Bottling
Company, contained an error.
The advertisement read: "We
will deliver a case to your
home for $2.69." This was in
error, the Elkin Bottling Com
pany making no deliveries of
Sohliti beer to private homes.
The price quoted was for a
case of beer when called for
and transported by the cus
tomer.

WITHIN RIGHTS
(Continued from page one)
by the company the first of this
month.
According to Mr. Self, who was
reached by long distance tele
phone Monday, a telephone com
pany is required by law to con
tinue service to a delinquent sub
scriber for a period of one
month and 11 days after the bill
is due, before it can discontinue
service. Thus a telephone com
pany, even though it requires
bills to be paid in advance, stands
to lose one month and 11 days
revenue in cases where subscrib
ers fail to pay their telephone
bills. And in cases where the
company bills its subscribers af
ter the service has:been render
ed, as has been the case with the
local company up until the first
of July, the company would
stand to lose two months and 11
days in cases where bills were
unpaid.
Practically all towns in North
Carolina are required to pay their
telephone rent a month in ad
vance, Mr. Self said.
The Central Electric & Tele
phone Company was granted a
franchise here nine years ago.
The matter before the board of
commissioners at their last meet
ing concerned the granting of a
franchise to the Southern Bell
Telephone Company concerning
the operation of toll lines here.
Due. to a misunderstanding on the
part of the secretary who trans
cribed the minutes, it was made
to appear that the local company
was seeking a franchise.
