United Telephone Company Installs 150,000 Telephone At Nappanee
A gold desk telephone signifying United Telephone's 150,000th installation in Indiana was presented in recent official ceremonies. The presentation was made by J. C. Cluen, president of United, to Freemon D. Borkholder, of Borkholder Building, Nappanee, Ind. The gold telephone is connected to a new No. 561 Private Automatic Branch Exchange manufactured by North Electric Company, a member of the United Telephone System. The installation took place on December 1, 1969, at the time United of Indiana reached the 150,000 mark. The new equipment was designed to incorporate many of the latest technological advances in order to meet the growing needs of the Borkholder Company, which has experienced a tremendous increase in the manufacture of post buildings in a six-state area. A total of 24 extension telephones is now connected to the private switchboard. The 24 stations connected to this equipment represent the actual number of residential telephones in Nappanee when Mr. Claude R. Stoops established the first telephone exchange and the Nappanee Telephone Company in 1898. Since 1898, the Nappanee exchange has grown from the original 53 business and residential subscribers to the present 3,262 telephones. This growth took place under the leadership of Mr. Stoops and his son. LaMar S. Stoops, currently vice president administration of United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc. The Nappanee company became a subsidiary of Citizens Telephone Company, Decatur, in 1955, and the Citizens Company was merged into United of Indiana in Jan-
uary, 1969. United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., was organized in 1931 and served 23518 telephones in 64 exchanges in Indiana. Since its inception, United has implemented an expansion program through growth within its operating territory and through acquisitions of other telephone companies. Currently, United Telephone serves 150,425 telephones in 100 •exchanges. All of these exchanges are dial operated, and some, including Nappanee, offer "UTouch" service. Plans are under way to. offer “U-Touch" in several other United exchanges in the near future. During the past year, United expended $12,300,000 for extensive improvements throughout Indiana. This' amount includes sizable expenditures in the Bargersville, Bremen. Corunna. Franklin, Monticello, Nineveh, Salamonia, Topeka. Trafalgar, and Warsaw exchanges for new buildings and central office equipment. United Telephone Company of Indiana. Inc., is headquartered in Warsaw. Ind., and is a member cf the United Telephone System of Kansas City, Mo., which operates the third-largest telephone system in the nation. Charles Westerman Receives Award For Service Charles R.

Social Security Number Needed: License Bureau Virginia (Mrs. Frank) Putt, manager of the Syracuse license branch, said she had been notified by Gerald W. Habig, commissioner of motor vehicles, that all persons applying for an original driver’s license, a renewal thereof, or for any learner’s permit for practice driving or driver education driving, that on or after January 1, 1970. a social security number must be furnished on each application. The social security number will be used as the driver’s license number for all such licenses issued by the bureau of motor vehicles’ starting with 1970 applications, Habig stated. Commissioner Habig noted that any person desiring to apply for a Drivers License that does not have a social security number should immediately apply to the proper office of the federal , government to secure application I forms to obtain a social security number. Application forms may be served at any social secured office located throughout Indiana, or at any post office. On the back of this card is the address to forward the application to in. order to have a number assigned, according to information furnished the bureau of motor vehicles by the Indianapolis social security office. New applications are issued as soon as possible, approximately ten days, whereas replacement cards take a longer period. Some applications take 10 days to 3 weeks If a person applying for a Drivers License does not have his social security card, but knows the correct number, all license branches in Indiana may accept such number. The Bureau requests all applicants to be certain of the number being given, as the wrong number information will affect the issuance of their license and could also affect entry of driving violations.

Along Main Street By GEORGIA BUSTER Where are the old fashioned winters like we used to have? If you mean snow on the ground all winter, well we have it. I have snow around my house since before Christmas and I hear some places are worse. There is going to be a lot of water once the snow and ice melts. F The town’s street workers again had a workout and it’s a good feeling to walk on streets that have been cleared before the snow stops. I have been in cities weeks after a heavy snowfall and no sidewalks cleared and hard to get from one house to another. The men who work on «• the streets are on call 24 hours and may be called out of bed any time to check on a broken water line. Albert E. Huber, executive di-

Sandra Sue Crowl, a Syracuse junior at Indiana State university, was initiated along with six other pledges into Delta, Psi Kappa honorary fraternity for women majoring in health, physical education and recreation. ♦ « I hear there is to be some changes in the near future on Main street. I hope all the empty buildings will be occupied and the street will once again
look like a good business street. Several business people who park their cars in the upper parking lot have fallen on the ice on the stairs and sidewalk on the hill. If they are to use that lot, the ice should be kept off the stairs and hill there. Leila Connolly of NIPSCo has been working again on the town. She took off all the decorations from the parking meters that were put on for Christmas. She deserves a big "thanks” from the town. -y, C 4 * Pat Money, wife, and baby *are “home” with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Money. Pat is out of service and just resting up at present.
