|s52O Phone
Talks a Year

NEW YORK, Dec. 28 (AP).-
There are new figures to show
Americans are talking on the
telephone more and more.
The annual booklet, The
Worlds Telephones. published
by the American Telephone g..
Telegraph Co., disclosed that
every man, woman and child in
the United States had an aver
age CT $40 conversations on the.
telephone during 1860. A year
earlier the total was 496 and
two years ago it was 472.
The figures cover the year
ended January l, 1861, because
it takes a year to compile them.
However, the booklet shows
Americans weren't the talking.
est people on earth, as far as,
telephone conversations were
concerned. That record goes to-
the Canadians with an average
of 538 conversations per person
during the latest year, based on
the number of telephone calls
and the total population.
The United States ranked
second while Sweden took over
third spot with 349 average.
A year earlier Ireland was sec
ond behind Canada and the
United States was third. Fig
ureS were unavailable for Ice,
land for 1860.
The worldwide average rose
to 64.2 from 60.8 a year ago.
AT&T reported that during
1860 the gain in telephones
around the world amounted to
81 million, second to the
1859 gain of 8.8 million. That
brought the total to 141.7 mil
lion compared with 1885 mil
lion a year earlier.
The United States proportion
of the world total dropped to So
per cent from 81 per cent 10
years ago because of the more
rapid growth outside this coun-
try, AT&T said.
