UN During the years of the war the ' Company was restricted to the pro ... vision of additional telephone ser ' vice because the materials necess . ry to provide such service were "- ' being utilized In .the war effort. While some progress was made in the establishment of additional ser vice throughout the 'operating ter ' 5& jf.ritory, the majority of the addition ' . al service was limited to military establishments within ':' the Com "panys area. During this period the Increase In the earnings of the peo " pie of North Carolina brought about a demand for telephone service by numerous people who prior to the years of the war had not desired . ' i telephone service. These conditions " j brought about an unprecedented, ' backlog for telephone service which could not be met because of war time, restrictions Imposed by the " United States Government fAX the end of the war the Caro lina and Telegraph. Company had t ' a backlog of orders for telephone service numbering approximately 5,000, while its suppliers for var ious items of material necessary to ' t provide the required facilities were ' allotlng their material and, in many t. ' cases, would accept orders without " '''promised delivery dates. In an ef 'fort tb meet the problem as quickly -I as possible the Company placed orders with its equipment and material-suppliers during the latter part of 194$ to improve the exist ing service and to care for as many nnmthle of the held applications for telephone service. Although the material and equipment were avall ' able only In small quantities during 1046 and 1947, the Company gain ed a total of 6,375 telephones in 19- , 46 and 6,831 in 1947. As more sup plies became available-the Com pany was able to gain 11,064 tele phones in 1948 and in 1949 the gain was 10,385. FronV January 1, 1946, through May of 1950 the to tal "number of Company owned telephones In service was Increased from 49.439 t 87,384. Even with the enviable record of increasing the stations In service by 76 over 1945, the demand for service has continued, and at the present time, the Company holds orders for more than 13,000 installations thrpugh .out its territory;- A j ' '?:' Although the increase In service has been phenomenal, the. increase In investment, because, the con tinued high cost, has exceeded the Increase in telephones,' At the end of 1945 the Company's plant in vestment .was about : $9,600,000, f, while at the ena oi jway iwau, w mnre than S23.300.000. t' r : increased- Costa" bave not been limitprt to the expansion program Th xnenses of operating and . matti talnlne . the i service have in rrased in the same relation due to salary and wage increases grant ed employees" In order that tbejt aalarles and wages might be com- , parable to other salaries and wagesj paid in communities $b wme mc The enormous Increase In plant Investment bar bean financed with .,' n.ui pjinital raised front the sale of stock and debenture bonds. At the eiid of 1945 the. total capital . obligations of the Company were i , than SB 000.000. whUe at. the , 1 of ray, 1030, the total capital s rf the Company ex- on its investment to re-invest such earnings in its telephone plant. With minor exceptions, the rates charged for telephone service throughout the territory until 1947 were rates as established in 1936. In 1947 the Company was granted a minor increase in rates. Again in 1949 a general increase was granted after continuing the in crease in investment in its expan sion and Improvement program. In granting the increase In 1949 the N. C. Utilities Commission used the net investment of the Company as of November 30, 1948. The al lowance made to the Company in that case was equivalent to about 6 on the net plant investment of the Company; that is," the invest ment in telephone plant less the reserve for depreciation. Since November 30, 1948, the Company has increased its telephone plant investment by- more than 4,000,000 and the revenue derived from this additional service has not been sufficient to cover the increases in expenses. During the present year it will be necessary to raise additional capital either through the sale of additional common stock or the sale of debenture bonds to carry on the program and continue to install additional service to meet the demands now on hand.

VAUGHN MONROE Popular band leader aayc "I discovered the meaning of ciga rette mildness when I made the Camel 30-Day Teat!" a part of the .continuing expansion program and considerable progress has been made since the end of the war. - Because of the continuing decline in the earnings of the Compy as re lated to the net investment and the continuing increase in expen ses brought about by further in creases in salaries and wages, it has been necessary for the tele phone company to petition the North Carolina Utilities Commiss ion to grant increases in its rates throughout the company's operat ing territory. Why There Was Mo Sale By: MRS. SABA JOINER It was his first job. He had re cently been hired as one of the salesmen for the little town's only Motor company. It was yery nec essary that he make a safe that week as his weekly salary depend ed on the sales that he made. And too, he had been hired on trial and if he did not succeed in making some sales soon, he would be read ily replaced by another. , ; All week he hM been most at tentive' to an elderly farmer to whom he was using all his persua sion to sell him a used car that hqd been painted and worked over but wasn't worth even half the price he was asking for it. ' ' It was Saturday and 6 few min utes before closing time. The young salesman was very impatient now and as a-last resort gave him" what he thought to be a very, very per suasive sales talk and ended with this remark,' "Now, come on, Uncle Josh, it's, time to close, so come on and ign here and the car is all yours.'' .The old fellow smilingly replied, , "Young man, I .do Indeed appreciate your patience with me, but please now, as man to man, do yOU really think that this car will hold. -up,, for you see with the bad luck I've had, this car will have to do me a long, long time. Now, do you really think it will hold up on long trips? You see SonI've got to take my poor ailing wife to a far away hospital next week and it will .be pretty terrible to have car trouble with her so 111 and all." - The young salesman gazed up and his eyes become focused on a large poster above the desk that read: "God r every wnrl ?f come back- later, for you see, l just remembered that this car is not for sale."

Baseball Not withstanding major accomplishments made in the improve ment and expansion of telephone service- in our territory since the end of the war, our present revenue is not sufficient to give a reason able rate of return on our plant investment. Telephones in service have increased about 14,900 during the period December 1, 1948, through April J950, requiring the install ation of more than 40,000 telephones. Plant investment during the same period has increased more than $4,600,000 with further in creases for 1950 estimated at $3,600,000. . The new capital required to carry on this tremendous program must be secured from investors and our earnings must be maintained at a level to attract their investment. Our pay roll costs as well as cost of items we purchase have con tinued to increase. It has been necessary for the Company to petition the North Carolina Utilities Commission to authorize an increase in our ex change rates at the earliest possible date. mm m A KRT .ivur diet is deficient in Vitamin B this great new formula may h?; yc ui!o fpUlfo) w 5) Fialson baseball team, of the Produce League got knocked from their perch on top of the league standings last Saturday as they lost to Rones Chapel 9 to 2.
