Econo sized Roger Williams does not raise watermelons, he raises gourds, big ones. Williams estimated this one to weigh about 100 pounds. He also had some of normal size, but were not grown from the same seeds as the monsters, he said. His grandfather gave him five seeds that were supposed to have been handed down through the generations of his family, said Williams. All the gourds were planted in mid April. Hoke County Extension Chairman Willie Featherstone told Williams that he had never seen anything like them.

On June 1, when residential and single-line business customers na tionwide began paying the new Sl-a-month subscriber line charge, AT&T reduced its long-distance rates for calls between states by 5.6Vo. Other long-distance com panies, including MCI and GTE Sprint, have since announced plans to lower their interstate long distance rates. "The FCC's plan is beginning to fall into place," said G.T. Pate, director of corporate communica tions with Tarboro-based Carolina Telephone, a local telephone com pany serving about 615,000 customers in eastern North Carolina. "I think we are starting to see some positivie benefits for consumers." Pate said that when the S4.7S subscriber line charge for multi line business customers went into effect last year, AT&T reduced its interstate rates by a little more than six percent. "As expected, long-distance companies are again lowering their rates with the introduction of the new SI fee," Pate said. "Depen ding on the amount of interstate long-distance calling, the reduced rates could offset the $1 subscriber line charge for many customers." Pate said it is important that telephone customers understand the reason for the new charge. He explained that customers will be paying the subscriber line charge to cover more of the actual costs of providing the local telephone line from their residence or business to the phone company's local central office equipment.
