•Dear Sir:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of August 24,
1848, relative to obtaining information as to the action taken to
improve the telephone service in
Saline.
On March 23, 1948, an engineer
from this Commission inspected
the Saline Exchange and in general, the inspection disclosed the
following conditions:
"1. The rural lines inspected
were found to be in fair condition.
Isolated cases were found where
trees were badly in need of trimming- and should have attention to
eliminate cross talk, noise, and
poor transmission.
2. The switchboard appears to
be in pocr condition, plugs and
jack sleeves were found to be
worn and should be replaced. Tht
ring off drops were found to be
(inoperative). This condition
should have immediate attention
at it is necessary for the operator to supervise calls to their
completions thus resulting in thi.
slowing up of service to other
customers. Routing inspection
and maintenance should be practiced and all parts not functioning properly should be repaired or
replaced.
3. Customers interviews disclosed that 1SCJ of the customers
contacted complain of too many
parties on tlie line, 459c complain
of slow answers, lSSr complain of
poor transmission, 97c complain of
cut offs, Zi>7c complain of slow
toll and 36Cf of noisy lines. Test
calls made by our engineer bear
out the complaints made by the
customers."
On April 2 this Commission
wrote the Michigan Associated
Company and advisee1 them that
prompt steps were expected to be
taken by the company to eliminate the conditions as listed sJbovt.
This orace received a report
from the Michigan Associated
Telephone Company on April CO,

follows:
"I. Upon investigation we find
that no major trimming project
has been completed at our Saline
exchange since 1P41 when the entire exchange was trimmed by a
crew of professional trimmers on
a contract basis. At the present
time we have five such crews
working throughout the exchanges
and in due time one of these
crews will be returnee1, to Saline
to trim cut the entire exchange
area. In the meantime we have
instructed or.r maintenance force
to clean up tree interference ir.
the isolated eases mentioned by
your   inspector.
2. We have recently . <Toptoc'

maintenance force have been instructed to routine the central office equipment regularly. The
worn jack sleeves anu plugs have

Says Farmers'
Situation
Is Soond
Even though the costs of things
the farmer rse.~ are continuing
upward, Michirar. Gg;ic"Iture is*
maintaining a sound financial position. areor,.:r.:r to C .'.. Cmtiss.
President o_ the Citizens Bank of
Mr. Curtiss. who recn'osents the
Michigan Eankeis Asscciation as
Washtenaw County Ke;-' Banker,
noted, that Michigan farmers are
being gt-nei ally saceessn.1 in avoiding the dangers of excessive debt
during   the   inflationary  period.
Quoting from a national survey
of bank lending made by the Agricultural Commission of the
American Bankers Asociation. Mr.
Curtis rerorted that, di:ring 1947,
Michigan" banks loaned S118. 02?.-
£00 to their farm, customers. At
the beginning of 1848, the total
agricultural :IcEiis outstanding in
Michigan banlfs aggregated £69,-
197,000, compared with approximately < §57,000,000 at tlxi. begirw
ning of the preceding year. This
high per1 eentage of payoffs is :in-
dicative of the prosperity- of.
Michigan agriculture. The advance in outstandings is account*-
ed for principally in loans for pro-.
duction purposes, which reflects
the increased avaiiabilty- of materials and equipment for capital
jmpro\'eiiients.
Of the total amount loaned - to
farmers during the year, farm production loans, aggregated . 897.-
635,000, of which S35,033,0C3 remained outstanding at the beginning of 1948. .-Leans' secured by
farm re?ii estate totaled SS0.724,-
000, advancing the amount outstanding in tfeese long term credits
to $33,727,000. CoiEiHpdjty. Credit.
Ccrpsratlcu. loans*,  sssured.   by
fam! products in storage, amounted to §640,000. Seventy-four per
cent of the -state's 175.268 farm-
,ers were . served by their community banking institutions with
cre?it during' the year.
While the privately owned and
operated banks of Michigan were
meeting the financial require-
ipents of 12P,P':0 farrnes, the combined credit operations of all of
the government-subsidized agencies were used by only 6,804, who
borrowed $!3,4C_,000.*
"SHARE OUR SHOES" is the
slogan of the campaign vhieii
open's September 25 throughout
the state of Michigan to help
some of the two hundred million
pairs of shoes which are needed
in Europe where practically no
shoes are being made to sell at
any price.
The "Michigan ' Shoe Retailers
Association, the Detroit Shoe Retailers Asscciation and The Detroit News are cooperating m this
state.wide drive. Barrels bearing
the sign "S.O.S.—Share Our
Shoes" are being placed in shoe
stores and departments .throughout the state and the public is
urged to turn in their used shoes,
no matter how worn.
The Foster Parents' Plan for
War Children says that-the n£ed
is appalling. Thousands of Emo-
pean children will be unable to go
to school this winter beeause of
lack of shoes, and some cf them
have never had a pair of shoes in
all their lives. Thousands pf
adults will work with their feet
wrapped in rags. In many families the same pair of shoes does
duty for several members oi die
family, being passed from one to
another as necessity calls for going out into the streets.
So don't throw away your old
shoes, not even; odd -ones,, as the.
number jof persons with .only one
foot is i shockingly large. Worn
shoes cacn be rfesbled Or mended
by craftsmen (in .Europe, and they
may represent" happutess, .healtfj
and a betters chance for survival
to some fellow huir.ais.
Look into those closets and attics and find old shoes. Hew
much better to put them to good
use rather than collecting dust
and taking space. No matter how
obsolete the style, whether black
or tan, high or low, work shoes
or dress shoes, someone will oe
grateful to have them. Take
them  to your local shoe  retailer
