PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1982 Here And There In Business Model Train Show Returns [Leah Kreutzer On Camera] 5.6 Percent Increase In Revenues Sought By Bell LEAH KREUTZER |A few weeks ago Leah Kreutzer of 2815 N. Chapel Hill road, McHenry, wfcts a working woman with no thought of attaining recognition before the camera. | All that is changed today since she was selected as one of three midwest vfomen to make a commercial for the International Ladies Garment forkers Union. Ms. Kreutzer calls it a fluke" that she was chosen. I Since 'a&t August she has been r_iployed by McHenry Manufac- [iring, a firm that makes blouses and slacks. She had only been a union member for a few weeks when the opportunity came. When she was asked, as the third choice of another employee, to go to Chicago for the company she thought it was concerned with hearing commercials and in their selection. Instead, she soon found a script in her hand and was asked, along with 25 others, to read. Some time later she was informed of her selection, with two others, to go to New York city to make a commercial. It took her just 12 "takes" in filming, and she knew the third and fourth were the best. The experts agreed, and it will be one of those that thousands will see when the com­ mercial is aired on the Today show on Channel 5 Dec. 14. Her 12 "takes" compare with 95 for one of the other contestants. ATTENDS SEMINAR A Ringwood area resident was in Ft. Worth, Texas, recently to attend the November managers' orientation seminar sponsored by United Fidelity Life Insurance company for its field sales associates. Patrick James Letizia of 6809 Barnard Mill road in Ringwood attended the two-day meeting to acquaint the company's newest agents with innovative techniques in the sale and service of its products. Illin^s Bell asked the Illinois Commerce Commission Monday for a 5.6 percent increase in total company revenues. "We wish we did not have to make this request, but we have no reasonable alternative," said William H. Springer, Illinois Bell senior executive vice-president. "We must make sure we have the financial resources to provide the reliable telephone service our customers expect. The company is asking to increase revenues by $184 million, a 5.6 percent increase in total company revenues. More than 70 percent of the requested increase would come from local service rates that have increased just twice since41974. "Historically, basic local service rates have been priced at less than cost." Springer said. "This has been possible because local rates have been supported by revenues from long distance services and premium telephone equipment, like Trimline phones. Today, other companies are offering these products and services in competition with us This forces us to relate our prices more closely to actual cost." Other requests, include a 25-cent coin charge, revisions in the directory assistance charging plan, service connection charges based on time and material costs and increases in some operator-handled calls.

GT Approves Some Depreciation Changes Since Dec. 1, General Telephone has offered telephone instruments on a deregulated "purchase-rental-- basis to all single-line one-party customers, and continue the familiar "lease" agreement only with single-line one- s. Dartv customers who established telephone service prior to Dec. 1 and remain at their present locations. Also Dec. 1, an increase in rates for telephone instruments to offset ad­ ditional depreciation expenses became effective. The increase amounts to ten cents per phone, per month, with the ex­ ception of key system or PABX ^ business phones. "This increase will not effect the ompaoy's net income," said Larry Henry, state vice president-general manager ."What the ten-cent increase does, is acknowledge the changing life span of current telephone equipment, which is shortened by technological advances. That monthly dime per phone will allow us to recoup at a faster rate our investment in existing equipment."

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD The big railroad trains may be disappearing in McHenry, but their little replicas are as popular as ever. And judging from the interest shown by visitors to the model railroad show now in progress at McHenry Savings and Loan association, it's a lasting love affair. The eighth annual edition sponsored by McHenry Savings opened Satur­ day, Dec. 4, and runs through Saturday, Dec. 18. The free show can be seen anytime during business hours. Most of the railroad equipment being shown is Lionel in origin, although American Flyer and the West German Lehmann L.G.B. are represented. Finely crafted copies by Williams and McCoy recall an earlier era. The veteran exhibitors are mem­ bers of the Train Collectors association, a prestigious organization with 14,000 members principally dedicated to preserving Lionel products. They are Joseph Bak Jr., Kenneth Dowell, Gary Mills and Gilbert Tosch, all of the Northwest suburbs. Besides the two operating displays, special commemorative cars created for the TCA's annual convention are featured. Of unusual interest -are identical Southern Pacific passenger trains in four gauges: O, S, H-0 and N.
