Carolina Telephone Charging Customers For Operator Calls Carolina Telephone rustomers who request an operator to place a local call for them will now be charged for that call. J.L. Holmes, district commercial 6 marketing manager, said, "The charges, which will vary depending upon the type of call, become effective October 31. 1982. At this time, this type of service is pri marily used by persons calling from public pay stations. "These charges are necessary because the increased number of requests for 'such services has "substantially increased the expense caused by the demand on opera tors' time. Carolina Telephone has been granted approval by the North Carolina Utilities Commission to charge these rates, which place the cost on the cost causer rather than on all rustomers," Holmes said. The three types of calls are: "Station-to-station customer - dialed local call charged to a Calling Card-SO. 30. "Station-to-station operator ? assisted local call -- SO. 70. ?Person -to- Person operator - as sisted local call -- SI. 70. The service charges do not apply when a caller requests an operator to make a local call to an authorized emergency agency, when the caller is handicapped and cannot dial the call from a non-coin telephone because of the handicap, and when the caller is calling a telephone company office for of ficial telephone business. Holmes said any ?customer de siring additional details on these charges should contact the business office at 864-901 1 Frosted Windows Garner Fines The nip in the morning air brings a reminder from North Carolina State Highway Patrol Commander John T. Jenkins that motorists who tail to remove frost from their car windows not only run the risk of an accident, they also ran the risk of a traffic citation. North Carolina law requires that the windshield, rear and side windows of a vehicle be free from discoloration which impairs the driver's vision or creates a hazard," Colonel Jenkins said. It is extremely dangerous to operate a vehicle with windows covered by frost." Jenkins said. "Motorists seen trying to drive while peering through a 'peephole' in the frost can expect enforcement action from the Patrol." he said. Jenkins suggests citizens antici pate frost at this time of year and cover all car windows at night. Otherwise, they should scrape all frost from car windows before starting out to their destination in the morning. "It's also a good investment to ensure that the car's cooling system has the right proportion of anti freeze in it," Jenkins said. "This may save you from be coming stranded at a busy inter section in the middle of morning rush hour." DRY SKIN MAY BE SYMPTOM OF SEASONAL ALLERGY Dear Doctor: I'm writing in hopes you can help me with my 7-year old Scotch terrier who is forever scratching himself. He is okay for about an hour and a half after his bath bat then he starts scratching and I notice bald spots on his back. There is no evidence of tle^s or other mites in his bath water. 1 have used lotions, soaps and shampoos, some prescriptions, bat to no avail. I can see him getting dry skin in the winter but the summer I can't understand. Answer: It's not unusual at this time of year for a veterinarian to see 10 to 15 cases of seasonal allergies a You and Your Pet day. the kind of allergies caused by pollens and other substances in the air that can lead to the kind of dry skin problems yojr pet is ex periencing. If this is the case, ask your pet's doctor about the advisability of using "blocking" drugs to reduce suffering and promote comfort until the pollen count subsides. Less common causes ot dry skin are internal parasites and hormone im-balance. both of which require investigation by your veterinarian. Dear Doctor: Can dogs have arthritis when they grow older and will asprin help? Answer: The canine population is susceptible to various forms of arthritis and. yes. aspirin is effec tive and economical. Other pro ducts used alone or in combination with aspirin can relieve the aches and pains making the pet more comfortable. Ask yojr veterinarian about dosage and follow through faith fully on instructions. Dear Doctor: My daughter has three dogs, a ferret and a bird. Can you suggest an economical and effective program for tlea control? She is using some kind of bomb to spray inside the house and another chemical outside and a pet care place for grooming when doing this. But it's very expensive and temporary. Answer: From the number of questions this column has received recently, it is obvious that the flea population explosion is a major irritation throughout the state this season for pets and pet owners. Ideally, a control program should be started in the spring and continued until frost. Limiting the pets' outdoor ex posure also will help minimize problems and keep costs down. Once fleas have had a chance to multiply, there is no inexpensive way to control them. Only an ongoing program of treating the critters on the animal, and in the house, as your daughter is doing, will take care of the problem. i (Do you have a question about pet care?
