Mr. and Mrs. Hood Tom moved
onto this farm in 1939 when they
purchased it from W. J. Miller. In
later years they built a new ga-
rage and remodeled the house in-
side.
Asked about the farming they
do, the answer was “ranching.”
We raise sheep and cattle, and
find the sheep costs less than the
cattle to raise. Mr. Tom stated
that the only sheep he hadalost
was to city dogs, and he hopes
that will not happen again soon.
'Others naming the farm picture

Donald Whitten who has been

except for a few months at
Georgetown, left last week end to
take a job at the Taylor Press.
H. C. Gravy of Lexington came
to Elgin to take over the job which
Don has held here since the Bro-

moved his family into their new
home across' the street from the
Elgin Farmers’ Union Warehouse

Included in the family are two
sons and a daughter, as well as
the mother.
Donald Whitten has made a
good name for himself with the
Courier during the past two years
and it was with regret that Mr.
Bronaugh gave him his weekly pay
check for a week’s vacation to
work and earn more at the Taylor
plant.

Continued losses on its opera-
tions in Elgin were reported
Tuesday night by (Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company in a re-
quest made for an increase in
local service rates here.
In -announcing the request for
revised rates, C. L. Carson, local
manager for the company, said
financial losses have mounted
heavily as a result of higher costs
of operation.
“Last year it cost $22,168 more
to furnish telephone service in El-
gin than we collected for that
service,” Carson said. “If we
are to continue to provide the
kind of telephone service needed
in (Elgin, we must have higher
rates to help offset these losses.”
The company last received an
increase in rates here in Febru-
ary, 1'952, in consideration of a
request filed in December, 1951.
The application was based on
1951 operating results.
Since 1951, wage increases,
higher taxes and a larger price tag
on telephone materials and equip-
ment have increased costs of pro-
viding telephone service in Elgin.
The manager said the Elgin
telephone system has continued to
grow in recent years, making the
addition of new facilities neces-
sary. “Because of this growth,
local subscribers are able to call
a greater number of telephones,
and the telephone has become
more valuable than ever before.
Yet, the cost of furnishing this
important service has continued
upward and we are losing money
on our new operations here,” he
said. ' >
