'The utility put its requested rates into effect under bond on Aug. 20.

General Telephone will not be allowed to lower the rates by a given percentage to all customers.

There are two kinds of edible scallops--bay scallops and ocean scallops.

Ocean scallops are usually harvested by travelers. A scallop shell, with its ornamental ridges, looks a bit like an oyster. When the openers pry apart the two shells, they cut out the abductor muscle, the part that diners relish as scallops. Everything else is discarded. The scallop-harvesting season generally lasts from October through spring.

during the summer baymen such as Kruszeski turn 1o digging clams. "In the summer, scallops turn soft and aren't very edible," Kruszeski said. "In the colder months, the meat is nice and firm."
