It has also experienced increased costs in acquiring new capital for expansion of telephone facilities and substantial increases in wage costs and taxes. The application noted: The present schedule of rates and charges for intrastate telephone services now produces earnings which are inadequate to sustain continued service expansion and improvement and to provide a fair and reasonable return."

Some 22,000 persons were counted at the area over this long weekend. According to the article there were many boats launched with no holdup whatsoever. We question that when we talk to some folks who tried to get into the water and came away disturbed, dissatisfied, and disgrutled, and dry. At a recent meeting in Kanab with the Superintendent of the recreational area local citizens were told the same thing. Most local folks dont believe this because they knov dilferenitly. However, they have no facts and figures. But perhaps by the time another holiday rolls past these figures will be available. We were told at the last Organization meeting (held in Kanab Friday) that there at the Rainbow borideg fueling was a real hold-ustation. Some boats had to wait in line till dark and travel down (and up) the lake in the dark because they didnt have enough fuel to cover the territory. A marina in between Wahweap and Rainbow Bridge would certainly alleviate this plus others. problem We understand that Governor Rampton is in Washington at this time meeting With the Park S::wc in an attempt to work out something on gclung roads and launching facilities into the Gur.sight area.

Fire Dept., Friday, June 14 Robert Camerio Las Vegas, Nev. VoL I experienced something new this week when I attended the Kane County Republican Convention. There were about fifty people there. Dele-gatto the State Convention were elected and several national, state, and local candidates gave short campign speeches. This was a most interesting and enlightening experience. You know, politics can be interesting. And do you also know, that at these county (and also district) meetings the people you will eventually vote few can be decided. In some cases, and some times, candidates can be completely eliminated. This makes it important that you (democrat or republican) take an active part in these meetings. Your vote in the general election will mean much more if you take part in choosing the candidates who will run for office.
