Changes announced by United Telephone

United Telephone of Indiana — has announced a change in business hours and the way service and payments are handled at its Warsaw office, according to Mike Hansen, northern region commercial manager for the firm. Beginning April 30, United’s office at Center and Indiana Sts., Warsaw, will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, serving the Leesburg, Pierceton, Warsaw and Winona Lake communities. The teller on duty will only handle payments. A payment dropository is also available any time in United’s downtown building for those who f make full payments. Hansen requested that customers not deposit cash in the dropository. “Nearly everyone sends payments by mail in the envelopes we provide with the bills,” Hansen said, “and that's the payment method we recommend. And we will have a teller available five days a week,” he added, “to accomodate those who want to pay in person.” For service orders and billing questions, residential and singleline business customers in Leesburg, Warsaw and Winona Lake are urged to telephone service representatives at 811.

number for Pierceton is 1811. Multi-line businesses in all these exchanges should dial 1-800-552-3474. These numbers are available Monday through Friday, 8-5, to handle service orders, questions and related items. Customers visiting United’s office for these transactions may use the customer service booth to call a service rep, but they are no longer available in person. To call repair service any time, any day in Leesburg or Warsaw, dial 611. In Pierceton, repair service is 1611. “We are taking a hard look at ways we can reduce costs without affecting our customers’ service,” Hansen said, “and the new arrangement is a definite economy of operation. Our experience in other areas has shown that making service reps available only by phone provided greater productivity, further reducing costs. In the long run,” Hansen added, “these cost savings will benefit both United and our customers. ” “Although we are changing from a Phone Shop to a payment office,’’ Hansen went on, “customers can still purchase phones from us. We maintain an inventory at our warehouse to

sell in this area. If you want a specialty item that we don’t stock, we will order from our supplier and deliver to you as soon as possible. We will do everything we can to accomodate your needs. “We appreciate our customers’ cooperation in adapting to these new procedures. Our business is going through rapid, dramatic changes, but what won’t change is our continuing effort to deliver quality telecommunications service. We are maintaining installation and repair crews, our central switching office and business office, a warehouse, engineering and construction staffs, and cable maintenance and traffic crews in Warsaw. We are still your company for local telephone service, as we have been for over 50 years,” Hansen concluded.

PRhrl UNUSUAL DISPLAY — Marivil Baker at Baker’s Farm Market, SR 13S Syracuse, used a little imagination in making up the vegetable display at the market. Mrs. Baker, who paints ceramic statues, devised this display of a ceramic bunny looking over a large bowl full of vegetables. The display has received numerous comments from visitors at the market and many thought it was fitting for this season. (Photo by Deb Patterson)

It may be fun to sing about the rain in Spain, but the real thing can dampen vacation plans. Did you know that you can buy rain insurance? It is an option in some tour packages. However more common, and surely more important to vacationers, is insurance that provides funds to help cover the unexpected costs that may result from illness or accident, lost luggage or a trip cancelled by an emergency. Your travel agent can supply you with many of the details about these insurance strategies. However, before duplicating insurance coverage, check to see if your homeowner's, or tenant's, policy already protects you against these losses. If you thought you couldn't afford a vacation this year, think again. The fine, professional staff at WARSAW TRAVEL will tell you about the beautiful, exotic places where you can get more for your dollar and frolic in the sun too. Drop in now at 1301 N. Detroit or call Mon.-Fri. ?-5:30 and Saturday 0-1:00 p.m. at 200-0771 or Toll Free 1-000-342-5521. Most major credit cards accepted. The country of your choice could be only hours away I TRAVEL TIP: Be sure to affix ID's to all your luggage when
