C _ SMALL TOWNS ELESS, Indicating: the destruction wrought by the storm, un:.mt of .several instances in the towns i southern Tilinois where small tel phone -- companies ~were completel wined out. To the writer it was e wiped out. To the writer it was ey-- 'plained in at least two cases where women had invested their life's say-- Ings in the purchase and operation of the small telephone companies. One of these was that where a woman had put all of her husband's life insurance into a telephone company and had been operating it herself. The storm wiped out both of these businesses so completely that the owner did not have a wire in use. According to re-- port in several of these hlun'eu the e ns O e 2CA T the Illinois Bell Telephone Company it' is sgaid that there is a chance serv-- fce there cannot be restored unless an incredase of rates is granted. It is estimated that the loss to the Tele awhana Mamnany alone in Jackson-- company. is net an integral part owners had no creserve fynd with which to build up a new -- line and therefore those villages will} be out Of telephone service unless some big-- phone Company alone in Jackson-- ville represents abovi $100,000. _.
