A bevy of high school beauties, who'll hand out trophies to the winning teams, will be just one of the features. The parade of contestants

Where such low rates ° exist the increases in rates requested will be greater than in some other areas, * "° ¢ This ‘is only fair because the more telephones you can reach, the more valuable is your service—and it also costs the Telephone Company more to furnish service.

The proposed rate increases as applied to individual subscribers vary above and below the 9% average, depending on the class of service, types of equipment, and present base rates. |A slight increase is proposed on overtime rates for intrastate Long!Distance calls. It is the first request for an increase in telephone rates in 20 years, and finally became necessary because the sharp rises in wages and prices for materials and supplies outstripped the economies we were able to make through research, improved equipment and operating practices. (The ability to absorb the high costs of doing business for so many years without an increase in rates was in itself a remarkable achievement!)

We Pledge to Keep Step With Indiana’s Growth and Progress

The proposed new rates would enable us to discharge our responsibility of furnishing adequate and dependable telephone service in Indiana. We believe thoroughly in the future of this great state and we pledge to furnish telephone service that will keep step with its growth and progress. ‘oo Reasonable earnings mean for our customers, good service— constantly improving.
