M. apply all day Sunday. This extension of night rates to all day Sunday includes both Station-to-Station and Person -to- Person calls to most points. And now, too, new low rates apply on Person-to-Person calls every night of the week after seven o’clock to those points where the day Person-to-Person rate is more 50 cents. When you telephone out of town and will talk to anyone at the number called—that is a Station-to-Station call. But if you must talk to only one particular person, name you give to the operator—that is a Person- call.
