The money raised for Lakeland Loving Care is mainstreamed directly to an activities fund where it will be used to fund events for the senior citizens, such as a trip to the Elkhart County Fair or a visit to a zoo. The money is also used for transportation and admittance fees for volunteers at the nursing home. The carnival will be held in the front parking lot of Lakeland Loving Care with ample parking available. The event goes on rain or shine and everyone is welcome to attend, said Cook. He added that anyone still wanting to have a booth is welcome to if they contact him at Lakeland Loving Care before the event.

Wawasee's Post Office was smallest in USA

Historic “artifacts” can sometimes turn up in unexpected places. Lula Zimmerman, r 4 Syracuse, found several items of interest while looking through a scrapbook belonging to her mother, Mrs. Ben (May) Zimmerman. One of the items was a photo printed in the Feb. 25, 1949, Syracuse-Wawasee “Journal” which had been taken in 1900. The photo was of the Wawasee Post Office — the smallest post office in the United States at the turn of the century. Os the eight persons in the photo only Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Sargent were identified. The other item was a newspaper article dated 1948, with a headline that read “Retires After 35 Years As Mail Carrier.” The story is about Harry Culler, a carrier of rural U.S. Mail who worked out of the Syracuse Post Office. Miss Zimmerman said she remembers Culler as her family’s mailman for a number of years. The rest of the article reads: “Wednesday Postmaster Bert Whitehead appointed Lamar Linderman temporary carrier, and he will serve until a permanent appointment is made. “Mr. Culler was appointed to the post office service in February 1913, serving first under Postmaster Joseph E.

FCC access charge plan

will reduce average bill

The Federal Communications Commission’s access charge plan will reduce the average telephone user’s total telephone bill. Robert H. Snedaker Jr., chairman of the board of the United States Telephone Association and president of United Telephone System, Inc., made the statement when he spoke to a U.S. House of Representatives task force on June 26. Testifying before Rep. Ron Wyden’s (D-Ore.) Telephone Task Force of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Small Business, Snedaker aggressively supported the FCC’s access charge plan. He mentioned that when the FCC imposed flat-rate, end-user access charges on multi-line business customers on May 25, 1984, the commission also reduced interstate long distance rates by 6.1 percent. Snedaker said the average United Telephone System small business customer now pays less than sl3 a month in end-user access charges and saves about $4.20 a month in interstate long distance charges because of the FCC’s plan. These savings will increase as the total access charge plan, particularly end-user charges for residential customers, is implemented next year, he explained. Snedaker said that the end-user access charges are designed to recover the costs of telephone service that do not vary with usage. “All customers must eventually pay end-user access charges to cover the fixed costs of the local loop facilities that are dedicated to each customer. This local loop consists of wire inside the customer’s premises, the wire from those premises to the telephone pole or pedestal, and the wire in the cable from the pole to the telephone company switching center. “This local loop costs the telephone company approximately $26 oer month. This cost does not vary, whether that customer makes or receives 100 calls each day, or no calls. It does not vary whether all of the calls are interstate long distance, or none of the calls are interstate long distance,” Snedaker said. These cost principles were strongly affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., in its June 12.1984, order upholding the FCC’s access charge plan. If heavy users of long distance are asked to continue paying a disproportionate share of these local costs, they will have an incentive to use communications facilities which bypass the local telephone company's network, according to Snedaker. He said that “if large users bypass the network, all Remaining customers, including small businesses, will have to pay higher rates to cover essentially the same fixed costs.” The situation could become worse if rates go higher and more customers leave the network, he said. “In a nutshell, all telephone users need the large business customers to stay on the network.” Snedaker explained that the FCC has established a Universal Service Fund of approximately $1 billion as part of the access charge plan. This fund will be used to assist small telephone companies through the transition if the new pricing structure imposes a financial burden on their customers. Snedaker urged the task force
