Illinois Bell Issues Reply To ICC i Decision In reply to the Illinois Commerce commission's denial of Illinois Bell's request for an interim rate increase, Illinois Bell issued the following statement: "We are greatly disappointed that the commission did not rule favorably on our plea for interim rate relief while hearings on our full rate in­ crease request continue," President Charles L. Brown of Illinois Bell Telephone said. "This disappointment stems largely from the added dif­ ficulty in providing the kind of quality telephone service we like to give our customers, and which they long have expected from us," he explained. "The company asked for an interim increase of $122 million in view of our steadily weakening financial condition. We also volunteered to refund any increase to customers if ILLAGE MARKET OPEN EVERYDAY formerly Russ' Food & Liquors 4405 E. Wonder Lake Rd. Wonder Lake, Illinois 7 am._ 11 ixm.

Each day of delay in these proceedings results in the loss of $300jthousand in revenue -- revenue that is lost forever whatever the ultimate disposition of the request may be "There already have been more than 50 hearing sessions producing a record of 5,000 pages since we filed our rate appeal more than seven months ago It's apparent that the earliest conclusion to our formal case would be early July and this -means a loss of more than $20 million in revenues sorely needed to maintain top service. We surely hope that all parties will join in an effort to close out the case as promptly as possible," Brown concluded. "The order states that we have not 'shown financial in­ stability'. That is true and •financial instability' is precisely what needs to be avoided. And there are few dinger signals more significant for a service corporation such as Illinois Bell than to fail to earn, for ten months now, a dividend established as long ago as 1965."

Working wife receives many hidden benefits The working wife often re­ ceives hidden benefits even though the pay may seem small after deducting the additional ex penses incurred from working One of the most important hid den benefits is that the working wife is increasing the overall fi nancial security of her family Even a slight increase in income often makes a big difference in the goods and services that a family can have ' Also, should an unforeseeable event reduce or eliminate the husband's income, the entire fam­ ily income isn't lost A wife who knows how to handle a job has valuable economic security in the event of premature death or dis­ ablement of her husband The working wife also increas­ es her Social Security benefits.

Since then, he's made a lot of new friends. Once people found out that Frank could tell them everything they wanted to know about electric heat, they started calling. And calling.

They want to find out for them­ selves about the difference clean, modern electric heat can make. That makes Frank happy because he likes to make people comfortable. But Frank's not all heart. He also believes in wise decisions.
