Phone Company Defends New Charge, Begins 15th "I feel sure that if all of our customers understood the directory assistance charge and its purpose, they would approve and endorse it, too," J.C. Johnson, district commercial manager for Carolina Telephone said last week, defending the new charge for directory assistance. Johnson was referring to the fact that the company will begin charging for directory assistance calls, after the first five, beginning Jan. 15. This was part of an Oct. 24 decision of the utilities commission in the telephone company's recent rate case. "Last year our cost of providing directory assistance was approximately I.S million dollars. The charging plan is intended to reduce excessive and unnecessary use of the service, to cause those few customers who call it most often to bear the resulting cost, and to pass the savings through to the average telephone subscriber," Johnson said. "The directory assistance charge, authorized as a part of our first rate case since 1957, is intended by the North Carolina Utilities Commission to benefit our customers, not us. Both the expense reduction and the additional revenue resulted in our new local rates being lower than they would otherwise have been. "We do not expect any net gain in revenue from directory assistance," he claimed. "Based on studies made by the company and testimony before the commission, we feel sure that at least S37c of our customers will never be billed for directory assistance." he said. These studies also showed that just a few. eight percent, of the company's customers make 51 percent of the local directory assistance calls, and that 74 percent of all local numbers asked for were listed in the telephone directory, he argued. Some of the features of the plan are: In order to make allowance for a reasonable need for directory assistance including numbers not the directory, directory inaccessibility, and other similar conditions, customers will be allowed five free direct dialed requests for directory assistance within their local calling area or '>19 area per billing month. After the five call allowance, a charge of 20 cents will be applicable for each direct dialed call to local directory assistance or requests for numbers within the 919 area. No charge will be made for calls to directory assistance placed from ooin telephones, or for calls to directory assistance outside the 9|9 area. In another announcement, the company said total Carolina Telephone bills will be slightly lower as of Jan. 1 due to the reduction in federal excise tax. The Excise. Estate and Gift Tax Adjustment Act of 1970 provides for a ten year reduction schedule of the federal excise tax for telephone service. The first reduction was effective Jan. 1, 1973. Telephone statements received on and after Jan. 1, 1976 will bill the excise tax at six percent. Under the present legislation, each subsequent Jan. 1, the excise tax will be reduced by one percent until Jan. 1, 1982, when the total repeal is scheduled. For the average Carolina Telephone residence customer, it will amount to only a few cents per month. 100L Jesus probably never spoke words more provocative than when on the Mount of the Sermon he said, "You have heard it was said....But 1 say to you..."! We are so familiar with these words that they make little impression upon us. What we have to realize is that with these words Jesus stirred terrible opposition to himself. Many of those who heard these words were enraged. For one thing. Jesus seemed to be casting doubt on the authority of their scriptures. Jesus was placing his own teachings above the authority of the Old testament. In other words, Jesus was saying that there were teachings in the Old Testament scriptures that were no longer binding upon the people. Since you and 1 accept the authority of Christ, we probably don't have any trouble with his statement of "But I say to you... Yet, at the same time, we might be highly offended if someone were to acknowledge that they do not follow and accept certain Old Testament teachings. Some people take the stance that: if the Bible says so, we must do it! Yet. the Bible said "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," and Jesus was clearly indicating that this teaching was not for the Christian. Obviously.just because something is in the Bible doesn't mean thai we ought always to be obedient to it. There are some things advocated in some parts of the Bible that other sections decry. To say, "The Bible says..." is not enough,for sometimes it will also say something quite contrary. Secondly, Jesus was demonstrating that violence could not be sanctioned by the Bible. If one wants to, he can always find a passage of scripture that will indicate the most brutal kinds of violence. There are many Old Testament passages that not only permit violence, but actually encourage it. But Jesus makes it very dear that his teaching will not acknowledge any reason for violence at all. To every passage that encourages violence, Jesus answers. "But 1 say to you..." Jesus' teaching is higher by far than any law or rule. Those who would justify violence with an Old Testament scripture passage, would do well to turn to the Sermon on the Mount instead. Thirdly. Jesus makes it clear that the essence of the good News is a spirit, rather than a law or any set of laws. Matthew finds interesting parallels between Jesus and Moses, the great law giver. Actually, in his eyes, Jesus is the new Moses, the new lawgiver for Israel. Yet, the Good News is not about laws - old or new ? but about the "higher law" as taught and demonstrated by Jesus. Actually, it is not a law at all, but a spirit. The spirit of the law goes far beyond any rules and regulations. As Moses stood on Mount Sinai and received the tablets of stone, so Jesus is, in the Sermon of the Mount, delivering the new law that is written, not upon stone, but upon human hearts.
