the price of one week-

,ou dial the y.
For example, a 10-minute call to
Someone a thousand miles
away weekday evenings
(5 p.m. to 11 p.m.,
Sunday-Friday)
would cost you $2.44, plus tax. Which,
you'll admit, isn't bad.
But for practically
the same price, you -
could make two eight- fl
minute calls over the
same distance...any J
weekend.
It's almost
like getting _ .......

So this weekend, enjoy a

WORTH THINKING
ABOUT
At a recent Town Hall 100
meeting I overheard some-
one say, "Ripley will never
get anywhere as long as
people yell about paying
sewer charges which are too
small at present." or "We
have no city property tax to
bring in extra money", and
they don't want to have the
town ordinances enforced.
To which someone else
answered, "You're right,
and the best thing for people
like that is if they don't want
to be part of a town and its
rules, then they should
move." Altho these two
people will remain nameless,
I can only say, "Yea, keep up
the good work" on those
comments and the many
other good ones I heard at
that meeting. It was great to
see so many express their
feelings about their town.
