There will be increases in basic
station-to-statiou day rates in only
124 of the 815 mileage distances
in Texas, and in no ease will the
increase amount to more than 5
cents for the initial period of con-
versation on such calls.
Rates for person-to-person calls,
which cost' more to handle,,, are
based upon the station-to-stfition
rates.,-..The differential 'will be 50
per cent, instead of the present 40
per cent. The present minimum
differential of 15 cents will re-
main unchanged.
The changes are being made to
offset in part costs of furnishing
service. Operating expenses * of
the cotnjiany, including wages
and taxes, have risen rapidly
since 1048 when long distance
rates were increased for the first
time since 1019. Further increas-
ed costs are certain. Wage in-
creases costing *88,500,000 a
year in Texas were negoiaed
with the union, effective in June.
Also, Congress is considering a
further increase in taxes.
The new rates restore only a
portion of the 11 voluntary reduc-
tions in long distance rates which
have been made in Texas during
the last thirty-one years and brings
Texas schedules more nearly in
line with those in effect in many
other states.
The rates will increase gross
long distance revenues of the
company in Texas about 6%.

, When Hoof I* Red
If your roof Is reddish in color,
il Is usually advisable to paint the
body of the house in cream, gray,
white or sand color. The trim will
look well if it is eoated the same
color as the body ol the house. If
it’s gray, however, it will also be
attractive, If It’s finished in white.
For shutters and doors you can use
such colors as dull blue, rust, and
the brown tones.
