David and Am-il Hilton Svkea, Publishers K I Mil LETTERS Confusion To the editor: The rhetoric's roar is re duced. But confusion con tinues. Misinformation leads many to believe that "access charges" are intended solely to pay for connecting tele phone users to the long dis tance network. Not so. Here's why. Over the years, you and your readers have never fully paid the true cost of your local phone service. You received a subsidy. Long distance charges priced higher than the cost of providing that service made the subsidy of local service possible. But no more. Monopoly is no longer the name of the game. Competition is. The federal government, through its courts and the Federal Com munications Commission, says that long distance calls cannot underwrite the cost of providing and maintaining the local systems, now borne by local telephone companies. Thus a method, unfortunately mis-identified as "access charges," was initiated by the FCC. Daughter of couple turns Mrs. Lucy Curtiss, who lives near Cecil, celebrated her 90th birthday Wednesday. Mrs. Curtiss was born Feb ruary 22, 1894 on the family ranch to Mr. and Mrs. William Euing, pioneers of the area.

The result? You will have to pay the piper. Perhaps twice over. First . . . long distance rates will probably not decrease at least as much as we planned. Second . . . local ser vice rates are being in creased. And lastly . . . big business and organizations will build their own communi cations systems bypassing the existing systems. There will be fewer of us to pay the ongoing fixed costs of the existing telephone sys tems. There will be even higher bills for home and small business service users. What's the answer? Not le gislation, apparently. So we encourage your readers to write their U.S. senators and ocngressmen. Tell them to let the F.C.C. get on with putting a process together that will be acceptable and to the benefit of all of us. (s) Patrick G. Hickey Assistant Vice President AT&T Communications pioneer 90 Mrs. Curtiss' son, Howard Smith, was also born on the ranch. To celebrate the event, a family reunion will be held February 25 and 26 at the Smith home near Cecil. Maben took over as treasurer and Inetia Cantin is serving as vice-president. The club is planning a sale and showing of art work in conjunction with Heppner's St. Patrick's Day festivities. More details will be announ ced as they become available.
