A short course in savirg money
on longdistance.
There’s more than one way to save money on long distance phone calls.
You just have to know the facts. Here are 4 easy ways to make every call a bargain.
Money-Saving Fact#l
DIRECT
DIALING
/
Here’s the most important fact of all. When you
dial direct, you’ll always save, no matter when you
call. In fact, all of the following special low rates
apply only if you dial your own long distance calls
without an operator’s assistance.
(The only time low direct-dial rates do not apply is on
operator-assisted calls such as coin, credit card,
person-to-person, collect, hotel-guest calls or calls
charged to a third number.)
Money-Saving Fact # 3
THE
LATE NIGHT
RATE
This very special rate is in effect from 11 P.M.
till 8 A.M. every night of the week and is lower
than the evening rate. You can dial direct
anywhere in the whole country (except Alaska
and Hawaii) for 3 minutes for just 75C or less,
plus tax. A special feature of the Late Night Rate
is the “Mighty Minute” You can talk for one
minute and it will never cost more than 35C
plus tax.

Agriculture Is
Backbone Of
The Nation
ATLANTA (GPS),
Appraising American agri
culture as “the envy of the
world,” U.S. Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge told a large rural
Georgia gathering that Unit
ed States’ agricultural ex
ports last year gave the
nation its first surplus trade
balance in three years.
Sen. Talmadge, chairman
of the Senate Agriculture and
Forestry Committee, said
American farmers have been
able to provide food and fiber
to feed and clothe “our own
210 million Americans, plus
many more millions
throughout the world, in spite
of declining farm population
and ever-increasing produc
tion costs.”
The senator was principal
speaker at Burke County’s
“Salute to Agriculture”
activities in Waynesboro.
Said he:
“Agriculture has always
been the backbone of this
nation. This was never more
evident than today.”
Sen. Talmadge said the
economic impact of Ameri
can agriculture on the United
States’ economy is “out
standing” even though there
are now only ,2.7 million
farms in the nation and farm
population comprises only 4.5
per cent of the total. He
continued:
“Today farmers provide
food for over 30 million more
persons in the country than
they did just 10 years ago,
and consumers are now
required to devote less of
their income for a wider
variety and higher quality of
food than before. In 1973, in
spite of higher prices, only
about 16 per cent of
disposable income was spent
on food, as compared with 23
per cent in earlier years.”
Citing increases in agricul
tural exports which offset an
otherwise unfavorable bal
ance of trade, Sen. Talmadge
noted this:
“During 1973, the United
States exported a total of
$70.2' billion worth of all
'commodities, of which $17.7
billion were agricultural. Our
imports totaled $68.7 billion,
of which only $8.3 billion
were agricultural, thus pro
viding us with a $9.3 billion
agricultural surplus of ex
ports over imports.
“This tremendous accom
plishment wiped out the $7.6
billion non-agricultural defi
cit. Asa result, we
experienced a $1.7 biHion
trade balance surplus, the
first since 1970.”
The senator also said some
20 per cent of all jobs in
private employment are
agriculturally related, and
agribusiness accounts for
nearly one-fourth of the
nation’s gross national prod
uct.

EVENING
RATE
