Elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, ostriches, and antelopes have made this region a happy hunting grdund for big-game sportsmen. Farm Travel Farmers are the largest single group of motor vehicles owners, with more than \four million passenger cars in use on farms. In addition, farmers own 1,110,000 trucks and hire another half million to handle farm products and supplies. Thirtyfour per cept of all trucks are used in agriculture. Most of the farmer’s driving is connected'with his work, as 67 out of every 100 miles he drives goes for the purpose of "making a living.” Seventy-eight per cent of the farmer’s travel can be classed as “essential." _ .

High Court Grants Bell Rate Increase Grants Immediate Phone Rate Boost J • f j . A Indianapolis, ‘■•July 19 —(UP) — The Indian# supreme court today authorised the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. to raise its rates immediately by a sum estimated at about $'’,200,000 a year. The way was paved when the high court /dissolved a temporary writ which prohibited Marion circuit judge Lloyd D. Clayconibe from acting in the controversial rate cage. Observers believed the state’s biggest phone utility, serving hundreds of thousands of customers in nearly 86 exchanges scattered all around the state, could send out its delayed July bills immediately figured at >he higher rates. I . . ft Bell president Harry S. Hanna said the company had 300,000 bills “ready to be put in the mail immediately,” figured at the higher rate. They represented half tire company’s monthly bills. Hanna said the-new rates would “be of substantial help in (our) constant endeavor tb provide the best service.” ' < The increase would be only temporary. however. A hearing oil Hell s court bid for $8,200,000 annual rate hikes ih set for next fall and Claycopibe had issued the ori der granting temporary relief until the issue was settled. Justice Paul S. Draper signed the majority opinion dissolving the writ. JnsticeMames A. Emmert dissented. J The action was a setback for Eminert. For he was the justice who signed the, writ prohibiting Claycombe hom acting. Emmert> aci tion made the state public service commission the dominant factor] in the controversy, and the PSd

immediately reaffirmed its previous order granting $730,000 annual' increases—less than, 10 perdent of the amount Bell asked. Although the high court’s dissolution action was not accompanied by an opinion giving reasons, observers said there was no doubt Bell was given the green light to expand its billing. ! _ 1 dissolution, in effect, meant that Clayconibe had legal jurisdiction in the case/ I It gave a lower ! court the right ,to intervene/tq j keep utility property from being 1 - ?*—
