vin B. O’Dell of Poplar Springs,

Thursday, March 15, 1951
The cooperative will serve a ma
jority of Laurens county and parts 1
of Newberry, Greenville and Abbe-J
ville counties.
W. T. Bolt, attorney, discussed the*
procedure of organizing the coopera-j
live and discussed the by-laws. The;
by-laws were adopted as printed andj
the capital stock approved as $150,-
000. '
The directors requested persons
who have signed applications for
telephone service and deposited five
dollars as good faith, to pay the re-!
mainedr of their stock which is $31.
They asked that checks be made
payable to the Piedmont Rural Tele
phone Cooperative and mailed to the
County Agent's office or the Laurens
REA office, or to give it to any mem
ber of the board of community com
mitteemen who helped sign up the
applications.
They declared that those who want
telephones can still sign up for the
same amount ($36).
They pointed out that the coope
rative is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. They said some people
have asked whether a person in the
rural area can phone to town with
out being charged a toll. "This, of
course, depends on what town a per
son wishes to call. For example,
suppose a person lives in the Oak
Grove community, and their tele
phone is connected with the switch
board in Laurens.
"Every rural person having such
connection may talk to any one in the
Laurens rural area without a toll
charge. But if they call Clinton,
Greenville or other such places, they *
will be charged the toll on the same *
basis as any other phone system
would handle a long distance call." *
