Brookings-Harbor Pilot — Brookings, Oregon LETTER TO THE EDITOR ----- 9 Open letter to telephone sub scribers: The Public Utilities Commis sioner of the State of Oregon an nounces an application is on file by the West Coast Telephone Co. to increase its rates in Brookings. This m atter will be heard July IT. 1956 in Salem. Many of our citizens complain about the poor quality of tele phone service now being given by the company. Part of this poor service is blamed upon the loca tion of our telephone office. It is located in Crescent City, Califor nia and all of our outside calls must be completed through this out of state office. It is claimed that the Crescent City office is chiefly interested in its own lo cal business with the result that Rrookings takes a back seat. A group of local citizens are! willing to voluntarily give their time toward the improvement of our telephone service. But they must have public support so as to make known the desires of the people of Brookings in this mat ter. A brief must be submitted to the P.U.C. before July 17th and perhaps some of us may be required to attend the hearing. Now, do we want better tele phone service or are we content with what we are getting? This question must be answered by the present local subscribers of the telephone system. If we do nothing we will get nothing. If we want to go ahead and do something the following is sug gested: Write a letter setting forth your complaint .sign it, and ad dress it to Telephone Committee, P. O. Box 245, Brookings. Come to my office and make an oral complaint and discuss methods to improve telephone service. Or call me at Brookings 4321 and make suggestions. ED. F. ACKLEY Peter Edward Stoller . SOIL CONSERVATION MEN gather at Azalea Park for chow’. A group of soil and woodland men from all over the west, including Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Arizona made an extensive tour of this region last week. The workshop, held each year, brought more than 20 SCS officials to Curry coun ty. They drove to Carpenterville, up the Long Ridge Road, as wt 11 as eating in the park. —Pilot Phot») ORCHIDS TO YOU-FROM BROOKINGS Page Five Weaving a web of words in which to wrop our thoughts is sometimes no work at all. At others it is like trying to stack lop-sided barrels, and that is how it is with many of us trying to ex press our sympathy, in words, to "Louie” and ‘‘Lena”. They’ve lost, again in tragedy, the last of their babies. We neighbors really believe if “Petie” had time for a last thought it would have been al most child-lik? sorrow for mak ing his parents feel badly. We who knew "Petie” since he was a kid have our own thoughts we know others will realize are too precious to set down on paper.
