money in our Company. What you pay US
for service goes for the day to day cost of
running the business such as wages taxes and
interest on invested money.
We must obtain needed mor.-5 for expan-
sion in competitor with other businesses. In
vestors always look carefully at telephone
earnings before they trust their savings to us
they want to be sure we are earning enough
and are paying reasonable dividends This
is why it is important to every telephone user
that the Company make reasonable profit It
is the only way can continue to attract this
needed money. Unlike other businesses, we
can't raise or even reduce our prices at will
no matter what the situation may be . we
must get the approval of the regulatory body.
The increased rates we are asking would av-
erage only six cents day for each telephone,
We believe that our customers, when they re-
fleet on the fact that their telephone rates have
not increased in the same proportion as every
thing else they buy--will agree that telephone
service is, and with the proposed increase would
still be- the biggest bargain in the family budget.

We have asked The Public Utilities Com
mission of Ohio for authority to reprice our
charges for local service in Chardon, Thompson
and Montville. We have taken this action SO
we can maintain the kind of service you de-
mand and we want to give and to keep ahead
of the growing communications needs.
The reason higher rates are needed is
simple. The cost of serving you has increased
faster than our revenue, causing our earn
ing to decrease to a point where it is diff
cult to expand and to operate the Company
properly.
In the last ten years, the cost Of all items
needed in giving you service has advanced
so to 10000, wages have tripled and taxes
have more than doubled, and there is no sign
that the upward spiral will be checked soon.
1t is our obligation to provide telephone
service where and when you want it. We
must expand and improve service to fulfill our
obligation. Being a regulated utility, unlike
other businesses, we not permitted to earn
enough t. finance expansion We must de-
pend on people who are willing to invest their

Counting Time
Man 5 Problem
For Centuries

Time is, as no one can deny,
very valuable, so it is not surpris-
ing man learned how to count it
accurately, down to the minute,
even to the second. But, man is
not yet, the complete master of
time.
The Gregorian Calendar, pre-
sented to the world in 1882,
brought about the first achieve
ment of any unity on the world
time front. But, it took a long
time to catch on. England didn't
adopt the Gregorian system until
1852, after most other European
countries had done so.
Egyptians
The ancient Egyptians devised
a fairly accurate calendar, SINH
lar to the Gregorian in that it was
divided into 70 periods and con-
sisted of 1865 days. The difference
Jetween the Egyptian method
and our present time counting
system, however, was that the IL
periods used in Egypt consisted
of 80 days each, with the remain
ing days of the year ''tacked on
to the last period, or month, with
out any provision for leap years.
The purpose of our Leap Years,
then, is not to give every girl the
chance to catch herself a man.
Instead, Leap Years help US keep
the calendar and the solar equi-
noXes congruent. An adjustment
is necessary because of the fact
that the solar year consists of 1865
days, 5 hours, 40 minutes and 46
seconds. Without Leap Years, we
would have to do something with
the extra hours.
How To Tell
How are Leap Years deter
mined? Years Invisible by four
are Leap Years-eXcept the years
numbering the centuries. They
are Leap Years only if Invisible
by four after the ciphers have
been removed.
The use of this system guaran-
tees the accuracy of the Gregori-
an calendar until $500 AID. Per-
haps before that time arrives,
someone will come up with the
"perfect" method of marking time
forever.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1960-12-29
About New Years,
Past and Present

The Egyptians were first to de-
velop an exact system for
measuring time. They developed
a calendar about 1000 BIC. The
beginning" which they estimat-
ed according to the Mundane era
of Alexander, was set at $500 BIC.
The Jewish calendar reads 1922,
in relation to 1861 AID. The Jews
adopted their calendar in the 18th
century.
Use of the notation AID. was
inaugurated by Germany's
Charles III, who affixed the SYM
bolism to the years of his reign
beginning in 879
The month of January takes its
name from Janus, two-faced
Roman god supposedly possessed
of the power to look back over the
past and tell what the future held.
He wa. depicted with key in hand,
denotinc the ability to open all
doors and gateways.
Christopher Columbus is gen.
orally considered to have been
the frst white man to celebrate
New Years day in the western
hemisphere. Columbus enjoyed
a sumptuous meal with two mon
archs or the island of Haiti, jan
uary l, 1893, when his ships
pulled in Tor repairs.
In earlier times, the dipping
custom was believed to offer
glimpse into the future. The head
of the family. eyes closed, opened
the family Bible and indicated a
passage with his finger; the text,
solemnly read and interpreted,
was supposed to indicate the
luck-good or bad-that was in
store for them.

The Older man stepped into the
room and dropped the bag inside
the door.
just far enough to peep out he saw
the glistening puddles in the mar
row, dirt road and a stocky man
with a fringe of grey hair around
the edge of a peaked cap from
which the rain was dripping and
over his shoulder he carried a
draw-stringed bag.
Il saw light under your win
dow shade, Mister" he said. 81
looked in and your fires so tempt
ing. I thought I'd take a chance
on asking you to let me dry out. "
Hesitation
Jim hesitated. He didn't want
company, but the old man was sc
bedraggled. And, after all, it was
New Years Eve. we'll, come
IN" he said, opening the door
wide.
The older man stepped quickly
into the room and he dropped the
draw-stringed bag just inside the
door I'm Carl Simms," he said,
"a gentleman of the road, as you
can see"
Jim smiled. 'HoW-dee, " he said.
Soon Carl was on another wick
er chair and his stocking feet
were stretched toward the blaze
while his shoes were drying. you
have a nice place here" he said.
81 had a summer bungalow many
years ago. I had a home and a
wife, but she died. Some men
drink to forget. I took to the road.
And I learned to like it, Some
times l work in the fields, or
towns. Odd jobs. But I soon hike
out again. I usually travel South,
but this autumn stayed warm so
long"
1T sure die" jim said. Now he
was glad that he had let the other
in. He was in good company. And,
who wants to be alone as a New
Year is born?
After a while jim went to the
kitchen and brought back large
coffee pot and he set it in the fire
place. Wen have some coffee, "
he said. Wen have to drink it
black. I don't have
Black suits me-" Carl said
Soon the coffee was boiling and
it was sending out a delicious
aroma.
The next morning was bright
and clear and when jim arose the
old man had gone.
Jim made the bed, drank the
cold coffee that remained, washed
the mugs and the coffee pot. Be
fore leaving he found some paper
and a pencil in the desk and the
note he left on its top read: Me
an another bum stayed in your
place last night. We didn't spoil
nuthin. We used the coffee you
left here and burned few logs.
One of your back windows was
unlocked. I locked it now Happy

BOD studied the card. ut looks
like some kind of underworld
lingo"
you don't. I've had enough EN-.
barrassment from publicity. l
don't want anything to do with
the police
Mistaken Idea
Bob sighed. Yeah, l guess
you're right. Since was sitting
here at the table with you when
a mysterious little dark man
handed you this cryptic message,
both the cops and the press boys
would jump at the conclusion that
it was some kind of a screwy
stunt to get your name in the pa
pers."
Myra smiled, but her hand
trembled slightly as she lifted her
glass. Here's to a happy, pros
porous New Year" she said.
Bob's roadster was purring
along Sunset toward downtown
Hollywood, when the big black
sedan swung alongside and crowd
ed him to the curb. From the
rear window OF the sedan pro.
truded the nose Of a submachine
gun.
Where's the junk, Sadie?" a
deep voice growled. Talk up.
We're in a hurry"
MY names not Sadie and
don't know what you're talking
about. " Myra said.
Rescue
On the road behind them sound
ed a siren. A police car with red
lights flashing was approaching.
Quickly letting 60 of her wrist,
the man sprang back IN the black
sedan. 1t roared away as the
police car stopped behind Bobs
roadster.
Bob pointed excitedly at the
fleeing sedan. Get that car" he
shouted. They're gangsters. Got
Tommy gun and"
Sure, we know" Captain
O'Riley replied. We've just ra-
diced ahead. Did they hurt you?
That deuce of spades we found on
your table WITH a warning mes
sage scrubbed on it sent us ou+
looking for you
Later at Central police head
quarters downtown, O'Riley and
the officers on the narcotic detail
explained the rest of the mystery.
Those gorillas in the sedan
were after Sadie McCabe Gomez,
the dope queen who's been run
nIng the stuff between Tia Juana
and Hollywood, O'Riley explain
ed "She tried to makeup to look
like you, Miss Walton, and that
caused the confusion. Government
agents captured Sadie early this
evening. She won't be masquerad-
ing as you any more for awhile.
Why, even that dark guy, Benny,
one of her pigeons, who left the
warning card at your table, was
fooled by the resemblance.
AS Myras dark eyes flashed
angrily, O'Riley added: Neither
he nor the gorillas who were after
Sadie's stuff had noticed that her
eyes are a pale green, not a
beautiful brown like yours. He
smiled at Myra. She smiled back
at him.
