month
To commemorate the occasion,
Wayne Huffman, Minnesota Vice
President and General Manager
for Northwestern Bell, presented
special telephones, symbolic of the
Millionth phone, to Governor Or
vile L. Freeman and Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioners
Paul Rasmussen, Hjalmar Peter
son and Ronald L. Anderson. The
presentation was made Tuesday,
May IL, in the governors office.
with one million Bell tele-
phones, Minnesota ranks sixteenth
among the states of the union"
Huffman said at the ceremony.
I'VE believe this milestone is sig
nificant because it is an indication
of Minnesota's very substantial
economic, cultural and social pro-
gress and shows the degree to
which telephone communications
have kept pace with the expanding
needs of the state and its people "
In 68 Years
1t took 68 years - from 1878
to 1916 - to reach the half
million mark in Minnesota but
only 10 years to install the second
half-million.
Northwestern Bell said this was
m o thy due to unprecedented
growth since World War II. In
this 13-year period, the company
spent S3OO,OOO.OOO for expansion
and improvement. Despite the in
creased meChanization of equip
ment to provide faster and more
efficient service, the number of
employees has increased from 1900
to about 5000. The telephone firm
is one of the largest employers in
Minnesota with a total annual
payroll of $45,6OO,OOO.
In addition to meeting the de-
mand for more service, Northwes-
tern Bell has effected several ma
jor improvements in the post
World War II years including:
Installation of dial service in
most Minnesota exchanges.
extending and improving farm
service through use Of new equip
ment.
extension of the toll-free local
calling area in many Minnesota
communities.
Installation of Direct Distance
Dialing in certain Minnesota ex-
changes.
construction of a statewide
radio relay system to provide addi-
tional facilities for inter-city call
ing, defense communications and
network television programs.

Moths Tops Sinafro
In Album Sales

Chicago CAMP - Balladeer
Johnny Mathis, who opened a two
week engagement at the Chez
Paree on May 3, has long been re-
garded as the singer who can do
practically anything - PARTICULAR
ly when it comes to singing. His
meteoric rise from obscurity to
fame in a few years is legend in
the music world, but the full ex-
tent of his public appeal is prob
ably one of the least known facts
of his career.
In modern show business, the
trade has evolved two sure-fire
methods of determining the popul-
arity of a star. AS always, the
turnout for personal appearances
is the first indication of lasting
fame. The second weathervane is
the Suitability of the artists re-
cordings.
All Time Best
Johnny Mathis tops most of to-
days stars in both categories. He
is the all-time best LIP album
seller in record history, averaging
over 100000 sales for each of 10
albums he has on the market. The
youthful San Francisco ex-track
star has outdistanced other singers
so far that only Frank Sinatra is
even close in LIP sales.
In addition, Mathis is one of the
most consistent box office attrac-
tons currently playing night club
circuits. He holds all-time at
tendance records at Chicago's
Black Orchid; Blinstrub's, Boston;
the Twin Coaches, Pittsburgh and
the Bolero, Wildwood, NJ.
Rarely does Johnny appear in a
night club without drawing stand
ing room only crowds. SRO-wise,
his very first engagement at the
Sands, Las Vegas, sky-rocketed
him into the company of Sinatra,
Sammy Davis and Jerry Lewis.
DOwney I'm Color"
Columnist Lee Mortimer de-
scribes Johnny as "the greatest
salesman of pop songs currently
in the business"
HE sings with humility, he
avoids hammy patterns between
songs, and rarely sings a verse,
preferring to slide from the chorus
Of one familiar piece to another
much in the fashion of the beloved
Morton Downey. In Fact, he's a
thin Downey in technicolor," Nor
timer says.
Winner of the 1858 Billboard poll
as Outstanding singer Of the
year." he had his biggest single
payday in 1858 when he drew
$25, 900 for the eight hours he put
in recording the title song for the
movie "A Certain Smile"
From $25 To 100000
From a shy youngster who
earned $25 a week three years
ago, such paydays have vaulted
the now fully professional Mathis
into the heady company Of show
business millionares - that chosen
few stage personalities who earn
over 100000 a year. Income
from his Columbia recordings
alone totals more than $500, 900,
and he was booked solid for II
months in the nations top mite
spots long before 1959's New
Years Day.
Following his Chicago engage
ment, he makes return appearances
at Pittsburgh's Twin Coaches and
Philadelphia's Latin Casino. And
while record fans keep his LIP al
bum "Open Fire, Two Guitars"
high on the best seller list, Johnny
will work in another Columbia date
to cut more hot cargo for record
merchants.

proof long distance cables through
areas hit by severe ice, sleet and

In addition to the 1000, 900 Bell
phones, Northwestern Bell also
said that 233 other telephone COM
panies serve 100000 phones in 533
Minnesota communities.

in response to question about

On the other hand, the

President Reminisces
To emphasize how he values
Mr.. Dulles advice, the Presi-

During World War II. Gen.
Eisenhower once asked the then
Army Chief of staff. Gen.
George c. Marshall, for a GER
tain corps commander. Gen.
Marshall sent back a telegram
saying the corps commander
was fine man but so crippled
up in Walter Reed Hospital that
the doctors could not assure his
effective service.

Gen. Marshall he would send
the corps commander into bat

dwarf the Governor who is very
broad shouldered. but of me-

Yesterday several hundred
farmers crowded into the room
not so much to listen to him,
as to tell him what he ought

Gov. Rockefeller darted in by
a side door and sized UP the
situation at a glance. He nim-

Monday, July goth. was day of

soil and in the neighborhood. The
Hayman Reunion of North Caro-

and by 1920 A. M, the Community
Building was filling up with kin
folk and friends of the reunion
from far and near; all wearing a
smile and eager to grasp the hand
and heart of each other in loving
embrace as only kin folk and
friends who have not seen each
other in a long time. The registra-
ton showed many more had gather
ed than for the previous two years.
This was due largely, to the Sc
lection of more practical date
which is permanently set for the
goth of each July-let the day be
what it may in the week.
The meeting was called to order
and after a few preliminaries, the
order of business was taken up and
first was the election of officers
for the ensuing year. On nomina-
tions the following We're elected:
L. D. Hayman of Southport, Presi-

Harbor, Vic President; Secretary
of the Clan, Miss Inez Gibbs, was
reelected; also, Mrs. Oma Pearl
Daniels was reelected Treasurer.
Mrs. Carrie Penn, of Clayton was

His work will be that of making
study of the Hayman genera

of compiling a complete and re-
vised issue of the history of the
Clan. He will be auxiliary to the
President in other lines of pub
licity for the membership, which
