is no threat to society, Boles said, “This is a chance for a man to earn his way back. “If he chooses not to, he can serve 30 years and scream at society.” But Boles added, “He’s got the key to his cell door if he pays for his children’s education, gets his education and...pays back taxpayers” for the cost of the trial. The judge said Indiana law allows judges to ban parole as he did, but adds

dependency on high-cost external financing, which will hold down our customer’s future bills. This can be accomplished through changes in present depreciation rules.” ACCORDING TO BECKWITH the new rates reflect new depreciation schedules for equipment. ‘‘Before existing telephone equipment can economically be removed from service and replaced with more modern and efficient telecommunications equipment, we must be allowed to recover the capital investment in the our existing equipment through faster depreciation rates. Present capital recovery policies have their roots in practices established 60 years ago, during times of low inflation, no competition and slow technological changes,” he said. “The new depreciation schedules mean slightly higher* prieeS now, but they will allow us to offer more sophisticated service at lower rates than would otherwise have been possible in the future.” Recognizing the telephone industry’s need to recover capital more rapidly, the FCC ruled during 1981 that telephone customers must begin paying off the accumulated cost of installing telephone wiring (station connections) located inside a customer’s premise. The FCC action left to the discretion of the Public Service Commission of Indiana the decision of how to spread these costs among local customers.

BECKWITH SAID THE FCC gave two optional plans for state regulators to follow: One was a phase-in of the program; the other called for immediate expensing of all new station connections. In its rate case GTCI recommended that these increased costs be “flash cut” (placed into effect throughout the company at one time) as opposed to “phasing in” the costs over a period of time. In its order, the PSC agreed with the company’s assessment of the situation and authorized the flash cut of station connection expenses. “The immediate introduction of the expensing of station connections will save our customers approximately sl7 million compared with the long-term phase in alternative,” Beckwith said. “The increase in rates also reflects the increased cost of doing business in these times of high inflation and interest rates,” Beckwith said. He pointed out that the company has spent some SB4O million in the last 10 years for new and improved equipment to serve its customers. Much of this construction had to be financed through short and long-term borrowing and common stock. HOWEVER, TO ENABLE the company to make a reasonable profit in order to attract lenders and investors, the company’s rate of return on the fair value of its investment was increased to 7.4 per cent by the PSC.

Senior focus Food pantry organizational meeting set

“RSVP Reflections”, submitted by Harlene Swanson, RSVP director. In just a few days we’ll be ringing out the old year and bringing in the new one. In spite of rising costs and spiraling inflation, RSVP volunteers will be ready and willing to face the challenges of 1982 wherever they are needed. Adding to their already long list of community involvement, they are helping organize and staff an emergency food pantry for needy families in Putnam County. Earlier this month they met with other concerned groups and individuals, and another meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 7, at the First Christian Church. ANYONE INTERESTED in becoming a member of the steering committee of the emergency food pantry or working as a volunteer is welcome to come to this meeting. Individuals especially from outlying areas are needed to be on the committee in order to make this project a countywide effort. Call Harlene Swanson at 653-3011 for more information. *** Congratulations to Mrs. Joy Stewart, 800 North Madison St., who was the lucky winner of the doll, wardrobe and cradle raffled off by RSVP last week. Making Christmas a little brighter for a five-year-old girl, Mrs. Stewart generously gave her prize to the child, whose father has been unemployed. IT WAS RSVP VOLUNTEER Emily Lane who sold the winning ticket to Mrs. Stewart. With dogged determination, Emily set out to sell 50 tickets, which she did in no time flat! Thanks to Emily, Pauline Schafer, Verna Turner, E.J. Shumaker, Thelma Duncan, Grade Akins, Grace Tilley, Lucille Bell and Gladys Silvey, approximately 150 tickets were sold at a very busy time of the year. *** Now that the 1981 White House Conference on Aging is over and the 2,200 delegates have returned home, what happens to the hours of talking and writing and compromising and carefully wording each resolution ? Public Law 95-478 calls for “a final report of the Conference, which shall include a statement of a comprehensive coherent national policy on aging together with recommendations for the implementation of the policy” to be submitted to the President not later than 180 days following the date on which the Conference is adjourned. THE WHITE HOUSE Conference on Aging Act requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to then transmit to the President and to the Congress within 90 days of receipt of the report, his recommendation for administrative action and the “legislation necessary to implement the recommendations contained in the report.” With a projected population of nearly 50 million American citizens 55 years of age or older by 1990, the words and deeds performed by the more than 2,200 delegates to the WHCOA held in Washington, D.C., will indeed have an impact on the aging population of this country for the next decade. *** This is a reminder to pick up your 1982 Community Birthday Calendar at the RSVP office if you haven’t done so. There still are a few calendars left for anyone who would like to purchase one for $1.75. *** RSVP DESPERATELY NEEDS a cashier to volunteer at the Aluminum Recycling Center on Wednesday, Dec. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cashier does not have to be a senior citizen but should be able to handle money and weigh aluminum cans. Please call Harlene Swanson at 653-3011 if you would like to do this assignment. The Aluminum Recycling Center will be closed Saturday, Jan. 2, because of the holiday. Be sure to listen to WJNZ to hear announcements of the site closing because of bad weather.
