  Ohio Bell Announces

  Long Distance Rates
  Ohio Bell customers will save
an estimated $800,000 a year
from the reduction in intra-
state long distance rates an-
nounced by the Public Utilities
Commission.
  The rate cut, to be made ef-
fective May 1, will be the eighth
reduction in long distance rates
in the last nine years, according
to Ohio Bell Vice-President,
Charles K. Esler.
  "This reduction, coupled with
the latest Inter-state rate cut
last November 1 and with the
savings resulting from extending
the range of toll-free calling,
brings to $3,700,000 the total
annual savings to Ohio Bell sub-
scribers in the past year," Esler
estimated.
  The new schedule will include
a new "Night Owl" special, which
will permit subscribers to dial
a three-minute, station-to-sta-
tion call anywhere in the state
for 35 cents or less between
midnight and 7 a.m. In addition,
the  present 40-cents-or-less
night rate on station-to-station
calls within the state will start
at 7 p.m. instead .of 8, and the
same reduced rate will be in
effect all day Saturday, as well
as Sunday and on five major
Holidays.
  The new intra-state schedule
will also reflect adoption of the
more precise method of comput-
ing long distance mileage now
used on inter-state calls and in
other states.
  "Technological advances and
efficient operation have made
possible the long series of long
distance rate reductions," Esler
said, "and we have been happy
to pass along, the savings to
our customers. In this case,
