dist Church dining hall amid

ers were unique in that each re-
sembled a fire plug. Red and
white carnations formed the
centerpieces; Overhead, the en-
tire ceiling was decorated with
streamers of red and White crepe
paper. .Red programs were at

phone exchange, housed in a new-
building, providing the citizen-
ship here wants it. If one is;

crease in telephone rates.
This became known Monday

the Canadian Chamber of Com-
merce held at the City Hall. W_
G. Riddle, district manager of
the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company at Amarillo, and E..
Hopks, area manager of the same-
company at Pampa, were present-
at the meeting.
Mr. Riddle says t!he telephone
company is ready to expend!
$24,000 in Canadian for a new
building and modern equipment-
That means, he says, that instead
of the present system the "flash"'
system would be installed. Them
would be a new telephone in-
stalled for each subscriber, the
variety that .one does not (have
to turn a crank to get the opera- .
tor.
The meeting of the commerce
body was attended by a group
of business men, who voted fav-
oring the city passing a resolu-
tion requesting the Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company t/o in-
stall such a modern system-. May-
or Fisher made a talk outlining- ,
the course the city will pursue
in the matter, if Canadian wants
the .pew telephone system. J.
B. Lindley" was present repre-
senting the city commissioners;.
Jack Lawrence was reported ill
and unable to attend.
'Mr. Riddle explained that; the-
increase in rates will be ap-
plicable to subscribers, in Cana-
dian only and will not apply to
rural telephones. He also, said
that the company has no loca-
tion in mind for the new struc-
ture.
