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.

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.

ORCHIDS TO YOU-FROM BROOKINGS

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.
