Phone Company Explains
Proposed Rate Increase '
A discussion of the trend toward
?ocialism in this country came out
of the meeting between representa
tives of the Carolina Telephone
and Telegraph company and mem
bers of the board of directors of j
the Beaufort Chamber of Com
merce last Friday afternoon.
The meeting, at the request of
tthe Beaufort Chamber of Com
'merce, was to give Carolina T and
T representatives an opportunity
to explain the company's position
in asking for telephone rate in
crease for Beaufort.
Attending the meeting to ex
plain the company's request for in
creased rates were W. C. Darrow,
general commercial manager from
Tarboro, and A. E. Jones, chief en
gineer of the company.
Darrow told the Chamber of
Commerce board members that his
company had petitioned the Utili
ties Commission for an increase of
tome $1,500,000. But, he said, only
$325,000 of that would be money
going directly to the company. The
remainder requested would be paid
in taxes. The Utilities Commission
has been asked to grant a hearing
Student Hearing /
Held in Beaufort
Some 28 Morehead City high
school boys and girls were told by
Beaufort Mayor L. W. Hassell at
t special hearing in the Town Hall
yesterday that they were welcome
in Beaufort anytime, and the town
hoped that they would come over, j
have a good time and enjoy them
selves.
The mayor told them also that in
the future to please come without
eggs or other matter which might
prove offensive.
The hearing was the outcomc of
! the incident which occurred in
I Beaufort Thursday night, Oct. 9, !
before the Beaufort-Morehead City
football game. At that time, police |
reported that eggs were thrown
at homes in Beaufort and air was
let out of the tires of a car belong
ing to the Beaufort school princi- 1
?pal. Bruce Tarkington.
A warrant signed by Boaufort
Police Chief Carlton Garner had
been issued but Mayor Hassell re
ports that he did not even read
the warrant to tbe students bccause
of their penitent attitude.
The hearing was attended by R.
S. Eury, whose home was one of
the objects of the Morehead City
students' mischief.
Morehead City high school prin
cipal G. T. Windell accompanied
the students to the hearing. Four or
live girls were among the students
present, although no girl's names
had been listed on the warrant.
The warrant charged the students
with loud and boisterous rioting
through the streets of Beaufqrt,
damage to personal property by
throwing eggs and other missiles
to wit, the home of Ralph Eudy
and the' auto of Beaufort school
principal Bruce Tarkington.
The mayor told the Morehead
<|ity students that they could be
tfied for such an offense, but he
said, "I am not going to try you."
But he told them not to commit
any such similar offenses in the
ftuture.
* Present at the hearing was Dr.
D. J. Eure, chairman of the More
head City school board. Eure told
the mayor that the action of the
students was very poor sportsman
ship and was to be regretted. He
told him also that "We want to, in
every way possible, cement a
?friendly spirit between the two
schools." "We regret this, it was
itough and we are ashamed of it."
Eure said that the boys were
Ishamed of their action, sorry that
it happened, and felt that the hear
ing would in the long run promote
better feeling between the two
?cbools.
Eudy told the student? that he
Was sorry that the incident had
occurred and sorry that, as i (fr
suit, the students had to be called
to the hearing. He added that be
, hoped it would not happen again.
Chamber Plans J
Dinner Meeting
i The Morehead City Chamber of
Commerce will sponsor a barbecue
meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at
the recreation center. The meet
ing will serve to awaken interest in
fhe possibilities of Morehead City
tfs a year-round resort area,
j" Members of the Jaycecs, Rotary
Club and Lions have been invited
Jo attend the meeting. Managers
ff chambers of commerce from
other cities in eastern North Caro
lina also have been invited to at
tend. Approximately 200 people
??are expected at the meeting.
: 'i A short, informal discussion will
.iloljow the meal.
There will be dancing for those
who care to stay after the meeting.
' Door prizes will be awarded to the
to the company on the proposed
rate increase.
Darrow pointed out that he was
grateful for the opportunity to ex
plain his company's position to the
board members and said that he
was not there to defend the finan
cial rise asked, rather he was there
to explain the reasons for the in
crease requested.
Darrow said that his company did
not like to raise rates any more
than consumers liked to have them
raised. But, he continued, his com
pany could not operate unless a
certain return set up under gov
ernment regulation, was realized.
Unless rates are raised, that return
cannot be gained by his company
and it cannot operate. He told the
Chamber of Commerce members
that his company was a monopoly
( which is government -egulated and
which cannot raise rates without
permission of a government agen
cy. He said that his company is de
nied many privileges which private
industry realizes. When inflation
strikes and costs to the company
| go up, the company cannot raise
prices to meet those increased
costs unless granted permission to
do so.
Inflation Blamed
Darrow said that the new request
for rate increases was a direct re
sult of inflation which had sky
rocketed costs of the telephone
company as well as a result of in
creased service in this area. In
creased taxes which must come
from the consumer have also shot
up costs of telephone service.
He told the board members that
! in 1947 his company had an invest
ment of some $62,000 in Beaufort.
In 1952 $210,500 was invested
there, representing an increase of
254.6 per cent. The number of
phones, he said, had been increased
from 1655 to 2958. These figures,
he indicated, represent an in
creased investment of only 84 per
cent in phones, compared to the
254 per cent increase in money in
vestment. This is a reflection of
the increased cost of supplies dur
ing this period.
His company, according to Dar
row, wishes to still further in
crease service in this area, but an
increase in service calls for addi
tional money. Money must be ob
tained from investors' Who can be
guaranteed a fair return on that
investment. That fair return can

Tar Heel Dairy '
Production Rises
Tar Heel dairy farmers produced |
nine million more pounds of milk i
last month than they did in Sep- j
t ember. 1951, it is disclosed by
the state-federal crop reporting -
service in Raleigh.
The report stnted that 144 mil
lion pounds were produced last
month, compared with 135 million
in September, 1951, and 130 mil
lion on the 10-year (1941-50) aver
age. Last month'^ figure was eight I
million pounds below the figure for
August of this year.
An estimated increase in number
of milk cows in the state of 11,000
above the September, 1951, figure
of 358.000 is said to be partly re- j
sponsible for the boost in produc- j
tion. Other factors cited by statis
ticians is the September, 1952, j
average production per cow of 390
pounds compared with only 378
pounds per cow in September, 1951,
and a six per cent improvement in
pasture conditions over last year.
Information gained from authori
tative sources indicates a trend to
ward continued increase in the per
centage of herds bred for fall
freshening, the crop reporting
service stated. It added that land
seeded for temporary pastures this I
fall will probably exceed any pre- j
vious year.
Farm Wage Rate ^
Higher This Year
Farm operators in North Caro
lina are paying an average of $5
per day (without room and board)
for hired labor this month, as com
pared with an average of $4.75 per
day in October of last year. This
was disclosed by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics through
the state-federal crop reporting
service in Raleigh.
The average hourly rate in the
Tar Heel state, the report says, is
59 cents ? compared with 55 cents
in October of 1951.
For the .nation as a whole, la
bor-coat* lire up five per cent over
1951, witb the pcr-day average
(without room and board) stand
ing K $5.60. Wages in the indi
vidual states range from a low of
$3.80 per day in SoiMh Carolina
?to a high of $9.50 per day in Idaho.
Only eight states had an aveiagc
of lest than $5 per day when the
reports were tallied as of October 1.
Workers paid by the hour with
out board or room are receiving an
averwifr throughout the nation of
7$ cents, but they are averaging $1
or mora per hour in 19 individual
states ? mainly in the weat. north
central, mountain, and Pacific re
gions and southern New England.
A total of 13,252,000 people were
working on U. S. farms during the
week *f September 21-27, and
3,700,000 of these were hired
workers, the survey showed. There
were about 100,000 more hired
workers than a year ago, but a de
crease of nearly 200,000 family
workats kept the total under last
year.

Medical Exhibit v
Shown at Fair
Dr. N. Thos. Ennett, county
health officer, has returned from a
medical meeting in Kaleigh with
a report that the North Carolina
medical society offered state fair
goers a chance to have their blood
typed free of charge and a blood
pressure reading free.
Each person tested was given an
identification card showing his
blood type and his blood pressure!
In addition to these services, the
medical society had an exhibit il
lustrating the small cost of medical
attention as compared with non
medical expenditures. This -exhibit
was made up of a display depicting
piles of gold coins. These piles
of coins were labeled with the
amount of money spent in the na
tion on various services. The fig
ures were issued by the U. S. De-?
partment of Commerce for 1951.
Here's how U. S. citizens spend
a part of their money:
Drugs. $1,600,000,000; hospital,
$2,100,000,000; physician's fees, $2,
500.000.000; and all other health
care, $2,800,000,000.
Non-medical expenditures are
shown at $2,400,000,000 for toilet
articles and person care; tobacco,
$4,700,000,000; alcoholic beverages,
$8,400,000,000, and recreation, $11,
300,000.000.
