Heard ann., a coast-to-coast, three minute call that you dial yourself costs $1 or less. Where Direct Distance Dialing is not yet available, the Operator will place your call for you at the same low rates. Midnight at the calling point governs the new rate. Over the years as improvements in equipment, increased Direct Distance facilities and the growing use of long distance services have made it possible, we have continued to voluntarily reduce long distance rates. In fact, long distance telephone service is one of the very few costs that have been decreasing rather than increasing over the years. Staple foods, services, luxuries and even housing have all shown fairly large increases in the past 20 years. In 1931, it cost $6.25 for a three-minute coast-to-coast call. By 1936 we were able to bring that cost down to $5.25 and in 1946 to $3.90. By 1961 the price for the nationwide call was $2.80. Our last reduction, in 1966, brought the cost of a coast-to-coast three-minute call to $1.95. The new reduction makes long distance calling a bigger bargain than ever, especially for any of you who have family or friends living in Western Canada. your telephone manager “ v.
