they, in turn, will reduce by an
equivalent amount charges to long-
distance carriers for use of local
facilities and equipment. At the
same time, it is expected there will
be a similar reduction in some in-
terstate long-distance rates. AT&T
has already announced plans to
reduce interestate rates by 5.6 per-
cent.
General Telephone officials said
the changes are to shift from long-
distance users to local customers a
larger portion of the actual costs of
providing the line from their
residence or business to the
telephone switching equipment. It
was pointed out that long-distance
rates have been artificially high to
pay a portion of these costs, keeping
local rates artificially low. As a
result of the shift, the local
customers rather than the heavy
users of long-distance will be
paying more of the costs of the local
network.
Depending on the amount of in-
terstate long-distance calling, the
proposed reduced interstate rates
could offset the $1 fee for many
customers, especially high volume
The changes are an effort to keep
high volume users on the local net-
work since artifically high long-
distance rates make it possible for
them to find economical alter-
natives to using telephone company
facilities for completing their long-
distance calls. When this occurs, it
is called bypass.
Telephone company officials say
that if the high volume users leave
the network, the investment and
maintenance costs are still there
and must be spread among the
remaining customers, driving up
local rates
The incentive to bypass is
lessened when the subsidy is
reduced and long-distance rates
decrease.
The $1 subscriber line charge ap
plies to all customers of all ex-
change telephone companies
providing local exchange service
The charge is scheduled to increase
to $2 on June 1, 1986

HOW TO GET
THE MOST OUT OF
YOUR FREEZER
5.
6.
Don’t buy a bigger unit than you
need. One cubic foot will hold 35-40
pounds of meat or 40 pint cartons.
Put the same types of food in the
same section of the freezer so they
will be easier to locate.
Buy a model with a light that warns
of a blown fuse or power failure. If
the power goes off, avoid opening
the door as much as possible.
99 A few pieces of charcoal in the
freezer will absorb unpleasant
odors and keep the interior smell
ing sweet and fresh.
M Use freezer to capacity. A well filled
^ unit operates more efficiently. Fill
milk cartons with water to take up
space not needed for vegetables or meat.
Several vegetables such as lettuce,
celery, cucumbers, carrots and
tomatoes lose crispness when
frozen. Unless these are to be cooked, it’s
best not to freeze them.
P9 Freeze foods in small packages
/ because the smaller they are the
E • faster they will freeze and thaw.
Q Inside temperatures should be at
JR least 0 degrees F. To check, take
readings in several locations and
adjust controls if necessary, or call for
service.
