Daniels, district commercial and marketing manager for Carolina Telephone. The Bell System program encourages its customers to call a toll - free number (l --800-555-5000) to ask questions and obtain in formation about the recent American Telephone and Telegraph Co. - Department of Justice antitrust set tlement and the effect it will have, along with other in dustry changes, on telephone service nation wide. Under the settlement the 22 Bell System operating com panies will split off from their AT&T parent organization and will provide essentially local telephone service only with AT&T providing telephone equipment and long distance service. According to Daniels, “The same rules do not always apply to the nation’s 1,459 independent or non - Bell telephone companies as apply to the Bell System and responses to these changes vary throughout the in dustry. With so many changes taking place it’s easy to get confused especially since many' issues aren’t even settled yet ” The “Let’s Talk” in formation program is geared to Bell customers and although questions of a general nature from non - Bell customers will be answered, more specific inquiries will be referred to local independent company business offices for han dling. “Our business offices have been notified of these possible referrals and our personnel are equipped to handle such inquiries,” Daniels said. “Some time ago we prepared a pamphlet entitled ‘Federal Deregulation and Com petition : What Every Customer Needs to Know’ to answer questions from our customers. Any customer may obtain a copy by simply calling or coming by one of our Phone Shops or business offices. We’ve also prepared a slide program on deregulation for presen tation to civic clubs and other interested groups. Presentations of the Thursday, October 21, WB2 program can be arranged by gving us a call. “Even though we don’t? have any control over many? of the changes taking {dace, § we think it’s important for ? our customers to know how their telephone service will ' be affected. We hope any? customer with a question will feel free to call us directly.” Fall Festival Center Hill Extension Homemakers Club mem bers are making plans for their Annual Fall Festival.
