Show Kiwanis and Telephone j At the weekly luncheon last week Orson J. Hyde, state manager man-ager of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company Com-pany and C. C. Pratt, of the Mountain States Telephone were the guests. Previous to the meeting the telephone men had met and talked things over with the local committee. Mr. Hyde stated the advantages of the present system of telephone to the committee and members and had sufficient pressure behind be-hind his arguments to silence all opposition or criticism of his remarks. The telephone company com-pany p edeged itself to make all the improvement possible in the local exchange and asked the cooperation co-operation of the business men in helping make the necessary improvements. im-provements. Mr. Hyde in his talk was very diplomatic, if not convincing, and in view of this fact, and by means of his forcible forci-ble arguments given to the com- mittee probably more convinc- mgly in private meetings, the members of the Kiwanis Club voted to accept the recommendation recommen-dation of its committee and await developments. In a word it was the consensus of the committee com-mittee that further publicity and opposition on the part of the club and its members cease until un-til the Telephone Company had a chance to prove its good intention. inten-tion. The luncheon this week is devoted de-voted to a memorial service in honor of the late President Wilson Wil-son and the immortal Lincoln. The speakers of the evening are to be Professor Neilson on Wilson, Wil-son, Judge Dudley on Patriotism Patriot-ism and Father Ryan on Lincoln. |
