PAGE TWO-B Rural Phone Service Improvement Planned It was announced by the Norfolk A Carolina Tele phone A Telegraph Com pany that, beginning with the September billing dates, as a part of its con tinuing program to im prove and modernize rural telephone service, it is ini tiating a program to re duce the number of sub scribers served by multi party lines (up to 10 par ties per line), to provide four-party in place of multi-party service wher ever possible, and to re duce the mileage charges applicable to four - party service. Four - party sub scribers will benefit imme diately from this program through a reduction in mileage charge. For many years its main service offering in rural areas has been multi-party service. The new program is intended to make four party service its primary offering in rural areas, and its intention is to make this service more attrac tive, tending to eliminate the multi-party service. All subscribers will either di recely or indirectly benefit from this service improve ment program, which has been endorsed by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. This service improvement brings about a moderate rate increase to multi party subscribers who to (dflememlm By MARVIN BARHAM hWVh Here’s an interesting thought which we might do well to ponder. When an engineer plans a building he does not provide merely for normal stresses. He multiplies his estimates of probable strain by three, six or even twenty, to make the structure safe no matter what happens. The reserves are important! Our reserves as humans are always amazing. Whether it is spirit ual, or physical strength, we were all made to meet and master strains. We are designed to face life, and any situation life creates, un dismayed. When we see sorrow or some other great crises facing us—it is well for us to remember that God designed us, and He will never put more on us than we can bear. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Reserves of strength, physical and spiritual, lie hidden within us. Colonial Funeral Home Edenton, North Carolina Here! New%9 CHEVROLET TRUCKS!

The new rate, reflecting the mileage charge reduction for four party subscribers, will be shown in the September bills presently being mailed. The company stressed that this program, because of its vast scale, will take several years to accom plish. During these years, multi-party lines will be converted to four-party (or less, where the subscriber applies for less) on an in dividual line basis' through, out all exchanges. There are around 4,000 stations involved in the transition. Mass Schedule At St Anil’s Father Joseph J.

Probably the best news Hassler has for striper fishermen is that he and his observers reported a high number of young-of year stripers last year. This should insure good fishing in a couple of years, provided other factors hold to favorable levels of the past. .XMr ~/> H, |l|K|lßf/ ‘ 11 jsi x 9 U 4f : *W*f?BWR^B[ j^BI pl^w^ f farmers get together... jour name crops up i !
