Item 5.   Other Events.

          On March 27, 1995, the Registrant entered into a
          memorandum of understanding with American Personal
          Communications ("APC") pursuant to which the Registrant
          will act as manager of a portion of APC's personal
          communications service ("PCS") system in portions of
          rural northwestern Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
          and south central Pennsylvania located along the
          Interstate Route No. 81 corridor.  The Registrant
          anticipates making capital investments of approximately
          $10 million to $15 million within the next three years
          in connection with its role as manager of APC's PCS
          services for that region.

          The Registrant is currently evaluating the possible
          purchase of cable television systems within its local
          telephone service area.  It is not clear whether the
          Registrant will be able to reach a definitive agreement
          for such a purchase, or if it will be able to obtain
          the necessary regulatory approvals.
