Aaberg, general manager, stated today. Such a request is now being prepared. The telephone company is subject to the same economic laws of any other business, Aaberg explained, and earnings must be sufficient to keep the business financially sound. , Utahs telephone requirements continue to grow and it is important to the state that service can be expanded to meet, demands. . To finance the increasingly large construction programs, earnings must be at a level that will induce investors to place their savings in the business, he added. The current;, expenditure for additions to the company's plant throughout the state is running about $30,000 a' day at a total of eleven million dollars for this year with the 1956 requirements already in excess of this years total. Costs of doing business have been pushed upward by increased prices for copper, steel, automobiles, building construction and materials used in daily operation for adding new facilities and replacing worn out plant The earnings also are adversely affected by new labor contracts just signed after two months of collective bargaining. Aaberg pointed out that the wage increases will continue to keep wages in line with those of other industries in communities where this company operates. Yearly wage contract negotiations in 1954 and 1955 both since the last rate adjustment was made in Utah two years ago about $900,000 to the wage bill in the state. About half of each dollar of telephone revenue is needed to meet payroll requirements. These items are increasing .the companys investment in Utah. Each telephone added today represents an investment of $386, an increase of more than 76 per cent over 'the average investment of $219 from those now in service, Aaberg said. , have-adde- , Mrs. Blair Poulscn Presented Recital d The Baptist church of Dragerton has extended a call to the Rev.

T-B- ar Com--inuni- on . -- How the First Christinas was Ccbhrated Scripture reading: Matt. 2:1-- 2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herodbehold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is bom King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and, are come to worship him. When Herod the King had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he. .had gathered, all. the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them - the-.kin- g, where Christ should be bom. And in Bethlehem they said unto-him- , of Judea: for thus it is written by the Prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, art not the least among the princes of Juda; for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and. when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the King, they departed; and lo, the stair, which they saw In, the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw, the young child with Mary his Mother, and fell down and worshipped Him: , and when they had opened their they presented unto Him gifts; Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh, And being warned of God in a dream that they should treasures, not return toHerod, they departed into their ' own country another way.
