Creager, your Telephone Manager for Central Point What makes a company a good citizen ? • We, at the Telephone Company, often ask ourselves what makes a good citizen because both as men and women and as a Com pany we want to be the best citizens we can. A good citizen pays taxes, of course. And, naturally the Telephone Company does this, paying property taxes of $163.650 last year in this county alone. As you know, this money comes from the telephone bills you pay. And the tax dollars we pay are dollars that contribute a substantial amount to good government in the community. But we believe it’s not enough just to be a taxpayer. So we try to do our part in the community in other ways. We think it is important to take part in the activities of the Community Chest, the Red Cross, the Boy and Girl Scouts and other community affairs. Fact is, we believe the ways of being a good citizen are unlimited and we’re anxious to do our part. • * JAYCEE Clean-up Drive Final Pickup Day CHRIS DARKER AGENCY Real Estate * Insurance Dial NO 4-1163 Central Point Oregon * * Wish them well-by long distance A wedding is one of the most important events in their lives.
