TELEPHONES POPULAR
NEW ZEALAND AND CANADA.
MONTREAL. Canada has ranked first for some years in the number of yearly telephone calls per capita. In 1936 every person in the Dominion made an average of 222 calls. In 1937 the average was 236 calls and in 1938 this figure was well maintained. In actual telephone development, however, New Zealand has taken second place honours from Canada. The two Dominions have been close contestants with each other over a long period for this honour, with Canada generally a little ahead. Now New Zealand leads 11.97 telephones per 100 persons, against 11.90 for Canada. The United States holds first position with 15.09 per 100 while the world average is 1.79.
