That amount will jump approximately $88.6 million for the .1073 construction program and is expectet to total over 8600 million for the next five years. Northwestern Bell, employing 7,472 lowans, and the Bell 'Sys tern contributed about $158 mil lion to Iowa's economy during 1972 in new construction, payrolls taxes and the purchase of goods and services. Federal and state taxes paid by Northwestern Bell and its customers in telephone services reached $62.2 million in 1972, or an average of $4.36 per telephone per month. The company's year-end figures were announced by Jack A.

MacAllister, Iowa vice president and general sales manager. MacAllis- er noted that at year's end the company served 1,215,000 phones 230 communities, for a gain of 39,500 phones over 1971. The company continued to "go underground" in 1972 by replacing 15 per cent of the aerial per cent of Northwestern Bell's Iowa customers are now able to direct dial their own long distance, rails. Customers in towns not having this service still get direct dialing rates on station long distance calls. All service improvements completed in 1972 brought Northwestern Bell's investment in Iowa to $652 million, an average of $537 for every telephone the company serves in Iowa.

lowans made greater use of -the more sophisticated of business communications equipment in the past year. The growing use of Dataphone and Dataspeed sets, used to transmit data over ielephone lines, continued in 1972. The number of Datascts grew 41 I per cent to a total of 1,700. Wide! Area Telephone Service (WATS) ines in use went from 2,870 to 3,475, an increase of 21 per cent. In May, 1972, Northwestern Bell adopted a new affirmative action program designed to improve the status of women and wires in service at the beginning of the year with buried telephone cable.

More than 25,000 poles were removed, with about 1,500 miles of underground cable being nstalled. MacAllister noted that mderground cable helps provide ervice virtually free from storm lamage and improves community appearance with elimination of many poles and wires. The past year also brought the limination of long distance narges on some 82,000 calls be- ween three pairs of Iowa cities. This resulted from expansion of heir local calling areas. Sixteen new buildings or addi- were constructed in 14 The ia.

Monks observed that grazing sheep became quite lively after eating coffee cherries. To stay awake during long nights of prayer, the monks began to eat the coffee cherries. Human uso of coffee BUI Tripp may have- begun by the 16th century A.D. Tea is a much more ancient drink with its origins believed to be sometime around 2700 B.C. A Chinese Emperor, famous as a Divine Healer, always boiled his drinking water.

One day, his servants built tho fire under some trees. While the water boiled briskly, some or the topmost leaves blow into the kettle. Thus, so the legend goes, the delightful flavor of tea leaves boiled in fresh water was discovered. Both tea r.ntl coffee became popular in tho west, during the ICOOs. Coffee was introduced from the Middle East while tea was sent as a special gift to tho English Queen in 1660.

Over the years, tea and coffee have played roles in his-- tory as well as being staples in the family pantry. The Boston Tea Party, when patriots protested English taxes by dumping a shipment of tea into Boston Harbor, is famil- ir.r to every school child. Familiar innovations, according to Compton's Encyclopedia, came In. tha 1900s. Instant coffee was developed early in this century and became popular after World War II.

In 1904, at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, a young English man found little market for hot tea. Noticing the thirsty tourists crowded around a cold drink stand, he poured his hot tea over ice in tall glasses creating an instant success. During the same year, a tea merchant sent of his products to hundreds of customers in small silk bags. Normally, such samples were sent in small tins and tho merchant thought his innovation would save him some money.

To his surprise, orders poured in for tea in bags! And that cup of coffee you enjoy with your morning newspapers?
