alt has been a long time since 1968. In ‘6B, astronauts orbited the moon, Nixon was elected. Bobby Kennedy was killed, the poor marched on Washington, the Pueblo was seized, and jogging took the country by storm. Chuck roast cost 49C a pound, gas was 34c a gallon, home heating wasn t a major expense, and telephone service was a bargain. That has all changed. Except basic telephone rates. Until now, seven years later, we have been able to sell telephone service at 1968 s bargain rates. But inflation and increased costs have hit us too. Take a look at the jump a few of our expenses have taken since 1968. when we had our last general rate increase. 68 AL SS X /X. ]h I) UP J 26 28 /X.

We've tightened expense controls and scrutinized budgets. We've taken advantage of research and technology to improve service and cut costs. And it worked. We re a more efficient company than we were in 1968. Then, we had 122.9 telephones per employee. By 74. we had 130.4. But now. even that's not enough. It's important to you that we meet our proposed service improvements. We need to attract and keep good employees. And it’s vital that we attract investors' funds. To do all this. and much more, we need to earn more money. We've filed a petition asking for a general rate increase with the Public Service Commission of Indiana. Proposed rate changes and revised rate-making policies are outlined in letters to each of our customers. We know no one wants a price hike, but the cost of living has affected us all.

(Telephone 244-5129) Fithian endorses full scale audit of federal reserve A proposal to authorize a full scale audit of the Federal Reserve System has drawn the endorsement of congressman Floyd Fithian. “After noting some of the highly questionable expenditures of the Federal Reserve System, I believe a thorough review is in order,” Fithian said. “I have seen evidence of some shocking misuse of funds.” Investigation by’ congressional staff members this summer produced evidence of such expenses as: $389,999 for cocktail parties and dinner meetings in 1974: $94,000 for jewelry, watches. lunches and related items for “employee recognition”; Thousands of dollars to rent automobiles, limousines and airplanes; Thousands of dollars for holiday parties, with one Federal Reserve Bank spending nearly $20,000 on a Christmas luncheon and decorations. The bill drawing the attention of the second district lawmaker. H. R. 7590, authorizes a full scale audit by the general accounting office. “The type of information needed can only be acquired by an impartial agency, such as the (GAO),” Fithian explained. “That is why I am supporting this biil.” He concluded, “This is just another apparent example of over spending by government bureaucracy. Now is the time for congress to stand up to it and demand an accounting.” Army is seeking a physician The U.S. Army Recruiting Command has announced it is seeking a licensed physician to conduct physical examinations for prospective military’ enlistees at the Armed Forces Entrance and Examining Station, In(fianapolis All qualified applicants will be considered, including non, civil service status doctors.
