Kan On Kissing
BATAVIA, III -There'll he nil
more kissing at a Ilatavia church
during weddings, the pastor or
dered today, because it causes
' giggles and guffaws."
Instead, he recommended, the
l.ride and groom should hold
hands.
"Kissing in public newer is in
good taste," said the Rev. Walter
Schlio of Immanuel Kvaneelical
i Lutheran Church, in a statement
j to I he congregat ion.
"It appears in a particularly ob
jectionable form when il is done
before the altar and in the sight
of the congregation, tempting the
people to giggle and guffaw as they
watch such intimacies.
"Joining of hands is a sufficient
sign of affection," he said. "This
is a sacred service, not a social
function. Let us not turn the cere
mony into a side-show."
General kissing of the bride was
forbidden in the church, but the
was better for one man to die than Pastor's order okayed kissing of the
a lot of others. There was no use, bride by the best man and mcm
anyway, for the flames blocked the; hers of the newlyweds' immediate
way, engulfing him. families in the church vestibules.

I The chief of the Imperial Gener
al Staff discussed his intentions
at, a news conference following a
I warm defense of his wartime ac-

Montgomery for his part dis
missed his critics specifically
lialph Ingersoll in "Top Secret"
and ("apt Harry Butcher in his
memories by remarking thai those
who want the true story should
I read Eisenhower's own reports as
supreme Allied commander.
Montgomery mentioned particu
larly the American chief of staff
system as one which he is intro-
I clucing into the Brilish army. He
commented that the British stall
system had "certain faults" and
; that he "saw the advantages" of the
i American command system during
j I he war.

I He also alluded twice to the
I American I0.VMM gun, saying that
the Brilish "liked it very much "
He also appeared greatly impresses
by the sports program conducted
at West Toint. which he visited
recently, and the methods of class-
j room instruction "jolly good, ex
tremely good, the way the stuff
was got over in the classrooms."
He was "terribly impressed' with
the military academy itself
; "thought it absolutely the cat's
j whiskers."
Montgomery's discussion of Brit
j ish army reform along American
lines was touched off by the ques
tion whether he is here to discuss
closer co-ordination between the
I American and British armies at
command levels from the general
staff down to divisions and in sim-
i tlar types of equipment, so that
iney migni iigni together even
more effectively than in World
War II in case of a third war.
i no i lorn iiiarsnal replied in
general terms, alluding to some
of the equipment interchanged
during the war, and observing that
with the war over "the natural
tendency would be for professional
soldiers to . down and think if
the cither le' nw hasn't got ,1 better
thing."
As for prospects of peace in
Europe, he remarked, "Ah, that's
political," and he had made it em
phatic at the outset of the session
in an auditorium of the Pentagon
building that he was not going to
answer any political questions.

of Request
For Increase in Telephone Rates
Your Telephone Company has found it imperative to file
application with the North Carolina Utilities Commission
for higher rates on business telephones and on most long
distance calls within the state. This action was taken
because telephone earnings are dangerously low and
reasonable earnings are required to furnish adequate
service. We ask that you read this message carefully so
you will understand clearly why increased telephone
rates are necessary.
Your telephone rate is low and it is the earnest desire
of your Telephone Company to keep it low.
While your rate has remained the same for many years,
the total cost of furnishing telephone service has steadily
gone up. Since 1941 our expenses for North Carolina
operations have increased more than 102 per cent, while
revenues increased only 76 per cent.
Wages Up $2,311,415
Much of the increase in expenses is represented by wages,
since wages make up the greater part of the cost of fur
nishing telephone service. In keeping with the general
trend of wage increases throughout the country and to
assure through competent personnel the provision of an
adequate service, telephone wage rates have been raised
$2,311,415 in North Carolina in the past 12 months.
Since the first of this year, 36,000 new telephones have
been installed in North Carolina, but 23,000 people are
still waiting for telephones. This demand forces us to
build new facilities now, in the face of high costs. The
cost of erecting buildings has jumped 75 to 100 per cent;
the cost of erecting telephone facilities is up 45 to 60
per cent and the cost of telephone materials has increased
15 to 25 per cent. Despite these high costs we must
continue to improve telephone service generally, and to
expand it. Our plans call for gross expenditures of ap
proximately $40,000,000 for telephone construction in
North Carolina during the next five years.
Pay-Out Is Increasing Faster Than Take-In
With the tremendous increase in the expense of furnish
ing telephone service and with rates unchanged for years,
we telephone folksi, and there are over 4,300 of us in the
State, have had a difficult time making ends meet. So
much so, that today we find ourselves confronted with
the lowest earnings in our history in spite of a record
3olume of business
No business can long continue to render service when
Jhe amount paid out to provide that service is increasing
faster than the amount taken in. Therefore, it is our duty,
as your public servant, to report this condition to you
since it directly affects your telephone service. We must
appeal to you for relief through the North Carolina Utili
ties Commission, which regulates our rates.
Increase Placed on Business Telephones
The requested rate increase for local service would apply,
to business customers only and would be on a sliding scale
depending on size of locality. Authority is also being
asked for an increase of 5 cents on most long distance
calls within the state.
Today's high costs indicate a need for greater increases
than we are asking, but it is hoped the proposed new
rates will prove sufficient. In view of this, no increases
are being requested on residential service. Your Telephone
Company feels that it is to the best interest of every,
business man in North Carolina that residential rates
remain as low as possible.
The new rates we are asking represent an increase of
only 7 per cent of our total revenue in North Carolina.
This is small when compared with the increased costs of
doing business. In fact, even with the new rates, long
distance charges generally would be lower than they were
21 years ago and business rates only slightly higher, while
service has been considerably extended and its value has
been increased many times.
Southern Bell wants rates no higher than necessary to
furnish everyone with good service and expand it. The
proposed rates are the very minimum increases we can get
by on. In face of rising costs, they are very modest.
