The new schedule originally was to take effect last January 1, but Secretary Seaton postponed It one year as a drouth relief measure The new formula Is based on average livestock prices at west ern markets for the preceding calendar year. The fees affect nearly 30,000 stockman who graze almost 12 million head of cattle and sheep on approximately 170 million acres of range in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming. Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Washington, Oregon and California. Feet Each Year Heretofore, changes In fees have been.. Infrequent. The revised system will subject fees to redetermination each year, with a possibility of annual changes, the Secretary said. His amendment to the Federal Range Code for Grazing Districts also delegated to the Director of the Bureau of Land Management the authority to establish fees each y year. BLM Director Edward said authority was delegated to quicken the process of publishing notices of proposed changes. The present BLM administered public land grazing fee ls 15 cents a month per head of cattle, 15 cents a month per five head of sheep or goats, and 30 cents a month per horse. Current livestock price trends indicate fees will be higher next year under the new formula. Secretary Seaton said. The new schedule has the approval of the National Advisory Board Council for GrazA.

This is not due to the excess number of long distance calls on that day. There are more long distance calls completed on many regular working day than on Christmas. The area from which calls are placed and received causes ChriBtmas to be a busy day. The majonty of every day, long distance telephone calling to mad up ot tmnmm calls bo tween metropolitan centers where adequate "clrcuts have been provided. Christmas calls, in the most part, do not originate ir terminate in large cities, out are routed to every village and hamlet throughout the United States. Small communities have adequate long distance lines to handle their normal daily calls, but in view of sound economics are not equipped to accommodate the Christmas greeting load It would be impractical to install hundreds ot lines to oe used only one day of the year. The Telephone Company has, therefore, developed other effective ways of rearranging circuts to utilize exisiting equipment to handle the specllized holiday tramc. Additional Circuits Some large industries have branch factories located in su burban and ruai areas. Generally these industries are shut down during the holiday. Telephone lines leased by these companies for their exclusive use are leased back by the Telephone Company for use on that day only to jarry the increased Christmas calls. Another source of additional circuits is the lines the Telephone Company ordinarily use use. for teletypewriter messages. These circuits are converted to talking lines dunng the rush. The physical cnanges neces sary to convert these facilities from special services to talking lines cannot be made until tne close of the working day. Heavy holiday calling usually begins about 7 O'clock on Christmas Eve. Arranging circut changes causes the buiest two hours of the year for many telephone technicians responsible for this assignment af . Tips On Calling Here are some tips that will help you to expedite your long distance Christmas cans: 1. Calling by number saves ime since the operator will not have to contact the distant operator betore compiet ing the call. 2. Call station to station.
