Telephone Company Reports Good Year Southern progress in commerce, agriculture and industry in 1952 was accompanied by telephone activity that broke several records, according to the annual report of Southern Bell Telephone company reJeased today at Statesville. Southern Bell serves Statesville and 1,019 other exchanges in nine states.

Its. annual a-eview of 1952 operations was released here by D. W. Rigby, manager. The report points out that widespread telephone progress was made in 1952 in spite of the continued heavy impact of inflation on telephone costs and earnings.

Major new records written into the books in 1952 were in connection with the provision of new facilities and overall usage of telephone service by the public. With the south on the move to new heights of economic progress in the year, the telephone company experienced its greatest "telephone movement' for a.single 12-month period. Telephone movement includes new installations, changes from one address to another and telephones disconnected. Telephone movement in 1952 totaled 1,954,720 telephones. Out of this activity, there was a net gain of 261,000 telephones.

At the year's end, 3,993,000 telephones were in service, 500,000 in rural areas. Usage of telephone service set ITS HYBRIDS FOR HIGH YIELD! In 1951, nearly of the State's corn acreage wot seeded to hybrids. This recent swing to hybrids is a direct result of state-wide, State-sponsored variety tests which have shown hybrids to outyield the best open-pollinated lines by as much as 30 bushels per acre! It is farmer aid like this that helps make North Carolina a better place in which to work, play and live. Also contributing to more pleasant Irving for North Carolinians is the brewing industry's self-regulation program where brewers, wholesalers and in wtvere maU sata we permitted, under State control cooperate to maintain wholesome conditions ror the legal sale of beer end ato.

(HE BtVtRAGE Of MODERATION new records. With Southerners again originating more calls from their telephones than subscribers in any other section of the U. S. or over 7 per day local calls made over Southern Bell telephones in the south averaged 27,554,000 daily and long distance calls completed in 1952 totaled 175,000,000. To care for additional volumes of service and to improve and expand the service, the telephone ompany built $178,545,000 worth jf new facilities, largest amount ever spent in a single year of its 'ar-reaching postwar Construction irogram that has involve every of its exchanges in the south, Statesville included.

The 1952 construction dollar volume topped 1951 by about $23,785,000. Progress was made in meeting civilian demand while caring for 1 neavy defense requirements in 1952, 'and overall telephone prb- esg was achieved during a year when the company paid its bills for wages, taxes, supplies and other items, the review points out. The upward trend in tax bills continued. Federal, and local taxes for the year were 567,734,000, or 22 per cent above 1951. In addition, excise taxes collected by the company and paid to federal, state and local governments totaled $67,248,000.

Altogether, 1952 taxes on the company and on its customers for telephone service totaled $134,982,000 or $2.91 per month per telephone. Payroll cosls for the year totaled 8193,064,419 in the south as a whole, about. 13.9 per cent more than for 1951. The report points out that the heavy impact of taxes, wages, supplies and other- costs caused earnings to be inadequate for the year. Earnings were at the rate of 5.75 ceiit.s per collars of investment, slightly above 1951 but below the company's needs to discharge its obligations to meet the full telephone service needs in thq still-growing south.

But Dr. Whitlock, who is dermatologist for the West Cornwall health district, decided to duplicate earlier experiments and see what he found.

He spent weeks examining 200 "normal" scalps and reacncd these conclusions. Pityrosporum ovale does not cause dandruff but is a harmless organism which thrives on oily scalps. Dandruff is the normal scaling of the scalp, similar to the almost invisible scaling on other parts of the skin caused by the normal replacement'of cells. Women are more prone to have dandruff than men. Whitlock said in the British Medical Journal that the reason dandruff is visible, while the scaling of the skin elsewhere is not, lies in the retention of the scales TO ELECT Statesville Rotarians will elect new officers at their meeting Tuesday at 12:30 at the Carolinl hotel.

Another argument the voters may present: Most of the teen-agers are not vitally interested in a program of unified recreation and the minority which is would not support it after it was given to them. This being so, why should we vote to be deprived of our money to build and finance places and personnel who just stand idle, while our teenagers continue their "harem-scar- em" escapades? I suspect this is the strongest doubt of all of the voters. This is our job.

Should we be provided with recreational facilities, our work has just begun. I ask the people of my age to fully analyze what we are asking for. It would be entirely up us to protect the property, insure a good reputation for our meeting places, draw the shy people of our age iato the program, enjoy it with clean decent attitudes, disband the cliques and various groups so that recreation can be enjoyed as one big group. This program is good, not only good fun, but good for us. But if we should be provided with recreation, it would never survive without replenishing it with this same goodness so we.

ourselves, would not lose pride in it! DEARMAX IN HOSPITAL C. A. Dearman of Harmony, who was admitted to -Davis hospital over the weekend for treatment, is reported today as resting com- lorlaWy. His condition seems Vo be a liftk 1 improved. Mr.
