Harry I Collins, superintendent of the Pa cific Telephone and Telegraph company here, attended the meet ing. Collins indicated that he was opposed to the proposed reduction because of the installation of dial phones. Collins said it also was necessary for the company to em ploy approximately 50 girls here. Figures submitted bv Collins. showed that during the first six months of last year the telephone company lost $21,048 in Salem In revenue received below the oper ating costs. 'I don't see how the rates can be reduced", Collins said. "I pre sume you think that because there has been a reduction In commod ities there should be in telephone rates. There is no part of com modities identified with telephone operations. We have not reduced salaries and feel they should be increased instead of reduced to a lower basis. As the efficiency of our employes increases we feel their salaries should increase. The telephone company can have none other than trained employes. "When compared to companies other than our own where rural subscribers pay $10 to $12 a year and are served by only 200 or 300 'phones your rate Is very low. Tho farmers on these rural lines have access to 7000 phones.'.' Representatives of the rural telephone companies argued that there had been a marked decrease ' business during the past two years, and that manv Derson whn formerly had telephones had tak en tnem out or had them discon nected. The charge also was made that tne existing charges for switch board service was too hieh nH should be reduced along with the service offered by industries in omer fields. It was indicated during the meeting that the question of re duced switchboard rates may later be referred to the public utility commissioner. Collins said there were 1065 rural telephones operating out of Salem on between 100 and 125 different lines. SAYS II. FOOKE "Depression carries a mean in ir for us. We've been finding things of value in life that we have missed," declared Rev. Hueh B. Fouke, Jr., pastor of Jason Lee Methodist church, at Lions cluh yesterday in an address on the suoject. "The Values There are in By-Products." Friendship, love and pleasure were held to be among the Important "by-products." "In New York City." he said, "a ship leaves every 42 minuutes, a child is born every six min utes, a funeral occurs every 15 minutes, a wedding every 13 "min utes and a new building is start ed every 51 minutes. I believe the thing we need to do is practice for ourselves a time when we can sit down and look at life unhur riedly." Music for the meeting was fur nished by the Clough-Barrick quartet, comprised of Dr. L. E Barrick. E. H. Leech. J. J. Mor- uz ana .Newell Williams. Williams accompanied at piano.
