Most people look forward to holidays, and Carolina Telephone customers have even more to look forward to on five desig nated holidays each year. That is when special long distance rates are available. Since Labor Day is one of the desig nated holidays, customers this year will be able to make long distance calls at the evening rate all day. The evening rate for calls placed within North Carolina is 25 percent off the full rate, while the evening rate for calls placed outside the state is at a 40 percent discount. ' "If the calls are made at night af ter 11 p.m., and before 8 a.m. the next day, the rates are even lower," said T. F. Daniels, District Commercial Manager. "And by placing the calls themselves, customers can avoid the operator service charge." Daniels said the other designated holidays when the special long dis tance discount rates apply include Christmas, New Year's Day, July 4th, and Thanksgiving. The Carolina Telephone spokes man reminded customers that other reduced long distance rate periods are available and that an explanation can be found in Call Guide 10 in each Carolina Telephone directory.
