ONE WORD
Can Change Your Life
By REV. ROBT. OLEWILER
Pastor, Grace Reformed Church
Washington, D. C.
LEGACY

You're concerned about what
you're going to leave your loved
ones when the bell tolls" It's
wonderful, of course, to be able tc
leave behind large savings, real
estate, stocks and bonds. Yet we
should be as much interested in
spiritual endowments as in ma
terial ones. How much "soul-stuff'
are we bequeathing our loved
ones?
One major trouble with that
prosperous farmer in the Gospels
was at this very point. He kept
building bigger and bigger barns
Those he left behind had plenty of
property, but little or no character
Kindness, love and joy. The farmer
measured well materially, but his
ledger was lean on the spiritual
side.
Our children and grandchildren
will be richer blessed if we see to
it that there's more than a little
of the things that matter most in
our legacy, the word that can
change your life.

/ Telephone Company disclosed it
will seek new rates adding so to
rs cents a month to telephone bills
of Maryland customers.
A spokesman said the request
would be taken to the Public Ser
vice Commission before the end of
the month. He added that higher
salary and material costs and a
sizable construction program will
be the basis for asking higher
rates.
The phone company indicated
when it signed contracts granting
its employees wage increases two
months ago that the additional cost
would be passed on to customers.
The spokesman said today the c
& p would engage in a 80 billion
dollar construction program in
Maryland next year, comparable in
size to that of 1853, and that earn
ings were not sufficient to attract
needed capital.
He said company earnings had
advanced at a far slower rate since
the war than earnings Of Mary
lands 25 largest manufacturing
companies. Previous rate boosts
have been too little and too late,
he added.
Last February, the PSC gave the
phone company temporary rate
boosts of 25 cents a month for most
subscribers and so cents month
for individual unlimited phones.
These were made permanent in
September.
This was the firms first general
increase since 1919. In 1852, how
ever, it was allowed to change the
coin box rate from to 10 cents.
