February 28,1946 LhDIE with crhe B np^i I We’re working mighty hard these days on a big 1 job we’ve got to deliver —our $300,000,000 expan -1 s i o n program. It’s an all embracing program that i will provide better telephone service and tele- I phones for all who want them. 1 The job ahead of us is one that must be handled K with care. The vast sum of money involved places ■ a heavy responsibility on both management and ■ employees. It will be spent wisely and cautiously I and with the same care that has always character- I: i ze d your Telephone Company’s operations. ■ There is also the responsibility of maintaining | adequate earnings so that the funds needed to build R more telephone facilities can be secured. The 1 money will have to come, as it has in the past, from 1 thrifty people putting their hard earned cash in i the Telephone Company. But unless they have 1 confidence in the safety of their investment and H feel assured of a reasonable return on that invest- I ment, new funds for future telephone expansion ■ will not be forthcoming. R; So it is easy to see that telephone earnings have if a direct bearing on the future of telephone service. ■ IOVTHIBN BILL TILIPHONI SHI TIIIOtAPH COMPANY fl High Grade Monuments For Sale Come select your monument off the yard or B write for information to S.

Burgin of Old Fort Rt. j 1, says a properly constructed pasture fence is much easier main tained than a poorly constructed one. Mr. Burgin secured locust post and new wire and has built a new fence around his 20 acre pasture this winter. He has also built cross fences, so he can rotate the cattle and hogs as they are needed to help maintain a good sod. Without increasing the amount of necessary farm labor, more and better pastures provide a means of increasing the production of food and conserving the soil. Complete soil conservation plans were worked up recently for the farms of J. B. Johnson, Mary Adams Robinson, and Claude Burnett of Old Fort, J. R- Gray and W. Jay Ballew of Nebo; J. E. Baker of Dysortsville, and Joe Swan, Boyd Morgan, Pink Mor gan and Earl Mosteller of Neals ville, R. 1. •- !•.: Kirby—Jay — B —* Mr. and Mrs. Guy Smith Kirby, Jr., have announced the marriage of their daughter, Miss Patricia Mae Kirby, to Edward Thomas Jay, of New York city on Febru ary 22 at the home of the bride’s parents in Marion.
