More than 150 men, women, and
children had a highly entertaining
evening last Thursday, with games,
songs, and a picnic dinner on the
grounds of the Oak Grove Baptist
Church.
The event was held by the Thick
ety. Community Development Pro
gram as a recreation treat, and it
proved to be a resounding success.
Principal speaker was Frank M.
Davis, one of the community lead
ers of Iron Duff, who told the audi
ence in an informal address what
the Community Development Pro
gram had contributed to the gene
ral progress of Haywood County
and its people.
Presiding ovar the gathering was
K. O. Carswell, the Thickety Com
munity chairman.
Under the date line of Milwau
kee, Wisconsin, the executive vice
president of the Wisconsin Hu
mane Society says there is "no
such thing as a bad dog". Delin
quent dogs, like delinquent chil
dren, must be blamed on the own
ersthat is of the dogs! "With
proper treatment and Instruction j
any dog can be trained in good :
manners and obedience."
With this In mind, and acting for I
the animals who cannot speak for
themselves, the Wisconsin Humane
Society has begun an educational
program for dog owners which first
and foremost teaches children the
proper relationship between them
selves and their pets. There Is now
established In Milwaukee a dog
training school which lasts through
ten weeks each winter and Is giv
en for children 10 to 16 years of
age. Dogs from 8 months to 3 years
are also admitted. The course In
cludes lectures and demonstrations,
and certificates are Issued at the
conclusion following graduation
exercises which demonstrate how
well each child can manage his
dog.
A full account of this work can
be found In THE NATIONAL HU
MANE REVIEW for May, 1950, p.
33. . .
There is no reason why the Hay
wood County Humane Association
cannot also conduct such a train
ln course for owners and their
dogs except one lack of funds

"I guess it's O. K., but I'd rather have a good used car
from WATKINS CHEVROLET CO."
The cost of facilities to do the tremendous tele
phone job that the public wants done in North
Carolina has increased sharply during the last few
years. These increased costs have made it necessary
for ui to invest huge and ever-increasing amount
in telephone equipment to serve the people of tho
tate. '
Facilities to Improve and Expand Service
v Cost Large Sums of Money -
r Thi growing investment U already so greaphat,
under present rates for service, telephone earnings
In North Carolina are not sufficient to meet the
needi for good service and the earnings are going
. 'down.
A year and a half ago our North Carolina in-
vestment in telephone facilities averaged $234
per telephone . , . but for each telephone added
tince that time, the cost has been $354. Sub
scriber rates designed for a $234 telephone
are, of course, too low for a $354 telephone,
leaving an investment of $120 per telephone
for which present rates provide no return at all.
Each added telephone increases the value of the
service to existing subscribers because they can
reach and be reached by more people. Since 1945,
we have added approximately 140,000 telephones
in North Carolina an increase of more than 86.
Adding these telephones, and improving the service
in other ways, has cost $51,000,000 in new facilities.
Rate Increases To Date Lag Far Behind
Our Increased Costs
In addition to constructioa costs, all other costs
of providing service wages, taxes, materials, sup
plies, cervices of others and so on also are up
drastically.
For example, from 1939 through 1949, wage
increases added $7,000,000 annually to our costs
in North Carolina. Our annual revenue from
rate increases since 1939 is failing to cover
! this one item alone failing by $240,000, to '
' $ay nothing of all the other cost increases.
Even since the present telephone rates were
stablished in April 1949, several items of cost
have increased. Employee pension costs went up
in November 1949. Social Security taxes went up
in January 1950. .Wage costs are going up as a
result of the shortening of wage schedules agreed ,
upon in May 1950. 1
Another reason for the lag of telephone rate
behind telephone costs is that, when the present
rates in North Carolina were authorized in April
1949, they were $1,000,000 short of what the Com
pany asked for and badly needed at that time.
Good Telephone Service Essential
To Progress In State
A constantly improving and expanding telephone
service is essential to the progress and development
of fast-growing North Carolina. To meet the state's
telephone needs, Southern Bell is now constructing
facilities at the rate of about $12,000,000 a year
and continued construction at this high level will
be needed in each of the next few years.
The money to pay for new facilities does
not come from subscribers' payment of their
bills. These monthly receipts cover only wages,
taxes, maintenance and other day-to-day costs.
Capital for new facilities must come from peo
ple who can be encouraged to invest their
money in the telephone business.
Present Earnings Are Inadequate
To Attract Needed Capital
Southern Bell's earnings in North Carolina today
are too low to attract the additional capital needed
to continue good service for present aubscribers
and to continue expanding the service. Despite
insufficient postwar earnings," we have been able -to
obtain needed construction capital up to now
because of investors' faith in the soundness and
fairness of North Carolina and its institutions.
However, actual earnings' and not hoped-for earn
ings must of necessity be the basis of raising capital
for future construction.
For all these reasons, we hate applied to
the North Carolina Utilities Commission
for revised rates.
North Carolina telephone rates have advanced
only about orie-third as much as prices in general.
Under new rates, telephone, service will continue tr
improve and it will continue to be one of today
biggest bargains.
