2-tirono Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 31st, 1979 Orono Weekly Times INCREDIBLE IT IS A ninety percent increase in telephone monthly service charge for the Orono exchange is as Mr.'Elizabeth Currie, vice-chairman of the Orono Telephone Ratepayers Association cited, 'incredible'. It is surely an increase that the Ontario Telephone Commission will take very little timé to, determine as exorbitant and too excessive to be considered. Certainly increases can be expected and warranted but not a ninety perceiit'increase in one wide sweep of the brush. Even a fifteen percent increase over a three year period, which is above the existing inflation rates, would move the monthly charge from the current residential individual line of $5.55 to $8.36 and even this could be considered somewhat above the norm. Ninety percent is unrealistic, unwarranted and unacceptable. It is true that the Ontario Telephone Commission under pressure did cut a requested rate increase in June of 1978 by some forty-eight percent arid that it was over a year before it was granted. This could not but help affect the finances of the Telephone Company but not to thé degree of a need for a ninety percent increase. It would appear to this corner that the Ontario Telephone Commission is slow in making decisions and appear to Wait out pressure as applied by pressure groups. Surely this Commission had the expertise and the resources to make a forthright decision and not allow indecision to lmger on month after month after month as has been the case with the local telephone company qnd the ratepayer's association. As Coupe. Holliday might say, "It's time to bite the bullet". The customers of Community Telephone and the Company itself deserve a quick and decisive answer.

The Lord is my Guide and Teacher, I will not get lost: He makes my heart a receiving station for his wireless; He sits down beside me in the pathless woods and opens his book of knowledge. He turns the leaves very slowly that my dimiried eyes may read His meaning. meaning. He makes the trees I plant to grow, and flowers to arch my path with their fragrant beauty; Gives me dominion over the fowls of the air and they honk and sing their way to and from my home. Yea, he has brought me up from a bare footed underprivileged underprivileged boy to a man respected by millions of people and I give Him all the credit, and praise, whenever, wherever and forever.
