Wondering why there aren’t front
page pictures of the large crowd at
the Liberty Cemetery Honeconing?
!<■ going to "fess ud." It’s another
one of «y bloopers. (Learning exper-
iences I call then.) As long as I
can laugh at wyself and learn frost
then, I’ll be happy.
This time I didn't insert the
film into the camera properly and
unbeknownst to me, it was busily
slipping back into the cartridge (iron
whence it came. J
The result? Three rolls of per-
fectly good fi^n developed clear as
glass. Groan - Laugh - GroanI
Funny thing, though, the sa stakes
wade by yours truly always seen to
turn into the most unexpected and
wonderful blessings! And they have
taught me to think more quickly and
to improvise* (By the way, thinking
quickly is not my best asset.)
This particular blessing took
shape with a call to the Paul Harr
family. Shirley and daughters,
Tamara and Tanya*agreed to return
to the cemetery to pose for me. So,
not only did I learn sou about
photography, I en’eyjd a good visit
with them and learned more about
the local history. One little inter-
esting anecdote was that their bam
used to be the old Liberty School-
house and their garden in front of
it is a veritable geld mine of doll’s
arms and marbles.
And so it goes.

A rich, stingy man once came to
a priest for advice. The priest
took him to the window, which looked
out on the street and asked him,
"What do you see?"
"People," answered the pusxled
stingy man.
Then the priest took him over
by the mirror, and asked, "Now what
do you see?"
"Myself," answered the bewildered
rich man.
Then the priest explained his
meaning. Both the window and the
mirror are made of glass, except
the glass of the sdrror has a
veneer of silver on it. When you
lock through the plain glass you
see people, but if you cover it with
silver, you stop seeing others and
see only yourself. \

The following letter was sent
^anonymously:
stop and think,
in your coIumi,
My thanks to the author and or
authors of the letter and the meaning-
ful composition.
It sure makes y
doesn't it?
Watchdog _
Ths Tixm Consumer AssocMfon EducMton Fund's Report from Austin
"Never rend to know for
whom the bell tolls; it tolls for
th**"
Thaii a famous line from
Old English literature, but I
swear if Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone Company doesn't teem
determined to give it a whole
new meaning these days, and
every tune they ring that bell it
costs you and me more money
Telephone rate increases have
become almost as common in
Ttataa at August heat waves, and
even less welcome. Southwest-
ern Beil got a $51 nullion in-
crease in 1979, another $125 mil-
boa in 1978, a SI39 million hike
in 1979, and Si 14 million more
early this year Now, sure as itt
August, here they are again,
ringing the bell louder than ever
They are asking for an increase
that would cost Texans nearly
half a billion dollars more each
year—the largest increase ever
requested by a utility tn this
in your paper in your coIumi,
Goodin Rite, or wherever you might
see fit.
But, this time. Bell executives
ar* asking for something else,
too. They are trying to slip in a
whole new method of charging
us for phone service. ItY called
“local measured service." and it
brings to local calls the same sys-
tem of charges that now apply to
long distance telephoning In-
stead of paying only a flat
monthly rate for phone service,
you would be paying a flat rate
for your phone line and instru-
ment a charge for each local
call you make Warn iu tail your
mother across town? The charge
will be baaed on how long you

talk, how far away she is from
your house and what time of day
or night you call
Phone company honchos say
this is nothing to wofry about,
since if you arc careful in your
use you might even lower your
monthly bill But critics say that
this guarantee doesn't quite nng
true—bow can our bills go down
if at the same time Beil is expect-
ing to get half a billion dollars
more from us next year than
they now are?
Weil. Beil argues, thu new
method of billing is optional and
customers can still use the flat-
rate method, so what's the fuss?
The fuss is that w* don’t trust
you, sa> those opposed to the
request. Sure ith optional now,
but once you get your fool in the
door, you’ll eliminate the flat
rates altogether, and then you'll
have us hooked on measured
rates, which you can jack up
four ways: by increasing the rate
for distance of call, length of
call, tune of day and frequency
of calls
Whatk your view of “local
measured service?” Is it a better
way of figuring your phone bill, .
or is it just another way for the
phone company to dig deeper
into your, pocketbook?
On August 24th. the Public
Utilities Commission will begin
hearings on this proposal, along
with Beil Telephoned total rate
request. Let the commissioners
know how you feel by writing to
them at this address: Public Util-
ity Commission/Austin. Itaas/
