United hits milestone

The United Telephone System has reached another milestone with the installation of its four millionth telephone. This represents a four fold increase in the past 11 years. The United Telephone System had its origin in 1898 with the construction of a telephone exchange in Abilene, Kan. While the United System became the nation’s third largest telephone system in 1953, it served fewer than 350,000 telephones at that time. The rapid growth of recent years stems from a combination of an active acquisition program in the late 1960 s and the healthy internal growth resulting from serving several of the nation’s fastest growing areas. The United Telephone System reached the one million mark in 1967 and the two million mark in 1969. The three millionth telephone was added in 1974.

as fifth individual overall and Ed Clayton as eighth individual. Mrs. Brian Wall accompanied the team to the FFA Center. Randy Warren serves as vocational agriculture instructor and FFA advisor at Wawasee High School.

Today, the United Telephone System serves four million telephones in more than 3,000 communities in 20 states. United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., was established as part of the United Telephone System in 1931. The Indiana firm now operates nearly 238,000 telephones in 92 exchanges. James A. Soden at Tri-State University James A. Soden, son of Mr. and Mrs. Orbie Soden, r 2 box 263 Syracuse has registered for the fall quarter at Tri-State University.

County receives fall distribution A check for $165,210.90 will soon be mailed to Kosciusko County officials as an advancement on the fall 1978 distribution from the Property Tax Replacement Fund. According to Donald H. Clark, PTRF board chairman and revenue commission “the check represents 15 per cent of what (Ind.) counties will be receiving from the PTR fund this fall.
