entire history of the company, it
is pointed out in the report.
Earnings Unsatisfactory
Noting that telephone progress
depends on adequate earnings, the
report says that Southern Bells
rate of earnings for 1850, although
slightly improved over 1949, was
unsatisfactory. THE rate of re-
turn continues to be below that
fair and safe level which it must
reach if this company is to con-
tinue to make its full contribu-
ton to the growth and prosperity
of the South by meeting its COM
plete telephone needs" the re-
port says.
Excluding revenues collected
under a refunding bond arrange
ment, company earnings in 1850
were at the rate of 5.56 per cent,
about the same low level expert
enced during the depression years
of the early 1905. Citing an
earning ratio of only 4.30 per cent
for the 1946-50 five-year period
when Southern Bell has brought
its greatest telephone growth to
the South, the report declares:
"The company's unsatisfactory
earnings record during the years
1946-50 stands in sharp contrast to
the unprecedented volume of bu-
siness done and to the high levels
of personal income and business
prosperity which have prevailed
generally during this period"
The report takes a look at ex-
pected continued growth and
prosperity in the South. There
is every indication" it says, "that
the demands for tel ephone
growth and expansion will con-
tinue, and this sharply points up
the vital necessity for adequate
earnings by the company SO that
1t may continue to provide ade-
quate communications service to
this rapidly growing section. Tele-
phone service is the nerve system
of our economic and social struc-
ture. Unless this nerve system
can adequately meet the needs of
the structure it serves, it is inevi-
table that growth will be retard-
ed"

gives added significance to the

Decrease Shown
For Employment
In Non-Farm Work

Non : agricultural employment
i nHolmes county has dropped
sharply during the past month
and is not expected to increase
until April, according to H. H.
Thomas, of the U. S. EMPLOYMENT
office in Lexington. Fluctuations
at this time of the year are not
unusual, Mr.. Thomas pointed out,
since inclement weather usually
curtails outside activities from
late fall through the month of
March.
Except for temporary hires by
power and telephone companies,
outdoor employment has been on
the decrease. This work is ex-
pected to continue until March Is
Nine hundre dand 38 persons

This was an increase of approx
mately Is per cent over Deem
Der, 1850, but was a decrease of
80 per cent under January 1850.
Number of initial claims filed
for unemployment compensation
during January increased So per
cent over December 1850, but was
10 per cent under the number
filed during January, 1850. Con-
tinued claims for compensation
increased approximately SO PEI
cent over December but were IS
per cent under January 1850. This
increase over December 1850 is
partly due to laying off of work
ers in northern areas and their
return to this area for the winter
months, Mr.. Thomas explains.
At the end of January there
were 238 active applications on
file for work in the Employment
office, by individuals seeking EN-
ployment in and around Lexing-
