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.

Long distance rates
starting to come down
Just as the telephone industry
experts predicted, long-distance
rates are coining down with the im
plementation of the Federal Com
munications Commission's
subscriber line charge plan.
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.
