"The idea for it grew out of the Family Community Lea dership activities," said Monine Stebbins, the Yamhill County home economist, who wrote the lesson with the assistance from Yamhill 'County F.C.L. volunteers. "The cooperation of volun teers and staff In writing the lesson is an example of the F.C.L. program's team work approach." said Greg Tillson, coordinator of the F.C.L. pro gram in Oregon.

Why youirpjiioiie oa A XL -ff 1 1 own While local rates will rise, long distance rates should go downfor two reasons: The good news First, because long distance rates will no longer subsidize local service to the extent they have in the past. (In fact, all subsidies from long distance will be eliminated by 1988.) Second, because there will be more com panies supplying long distance to select from. As a result, lonjj distance rates are expec ted to decline over time.
