Rexaii fTimed Action Decongestant !' I r For rural phone users ate Rural communities such as those in Morrow County will be paying higher rates for telephone service unless resi dents voice their concerns to legislators, a Pacific North west Bell spokesman told Heppner chamberites recent ly. Ron Allen, Portland, speak ing to the general forum of Chamber, said, "The Federal Communications Commission is allowing non-traditional companies to enter the field of tele-communications and the result is going to be a higher telephone service cost to rural areas." The PNB public affairs man explained that over 1,600 telephone companies through out the United States work in a non-competitive manner in a regulated monopoly situation, whereby costs of service are averaged out to provide econo mic phone service to all. Allen said the FCC has, since 1970, allowed some microwave communication firms to enter the market in high population areas, taking the most profitable forms of service from traditional com panies commonly referred to as "Ma Bell". ..uf ..'5 tyt 1 R mm SX-70 ASSORTED 3V1 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm CLUB COOKWARE 1A 0.
