The Salvation Army and the Pitt County Department of Social Services have been busy being Santa Gaus as Christmas Day approaches.

Christmas is our big project, said Becky Stm^, social worker in child protection of the Pitt Comity

Department of Social Services.The foster children make their Christmas lists out and we begin shopping in October. There is a certain budget for the age range of the child, but we try to get (Hie of the main things on their list.

The entire thing is made possible though the people of Pitt County, Ms. Starkey said. We rely on private donations from the pecle in the community and donations this year have been very good. There are also sponsors

who do the shopping for the kids, she related. For instance, a book club might prefer to go out and sh^ for the child rather than give us cash money, she said.

A Christmas party for the foster children was held Dec. 13 at the Boys Gub. This is a special time for the children, Ms. Starkey said. It is the only time of year some of the kids get to see their siblings.

According to Beth Gark of the D^artment of Social Services, the elderly in the area care homes will be remembered this Christmas. Different groups sponsor different rest homes and family care homes, she said. We have received a lot of cash donations; this money is used to buy gifts.

One individual knits lap robes throughout the year and they are given out at Christmas. This year, someone contributed 200 bags of toilet articles, Mrs. Clark said.

There has been an excellent response from individuals as well as groups, church and civic organizations, she said. It looks like all the people in family care homes will be taken care of.

The Salvation Army office on the Farmville hi^way has been stocked with food aiHl toys for distribution to area faunilies registered with the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army toy slu^ has gathered toys for eligible families. Food or fruit baskets were scheduled for distribution to 700-800 families that are registered and stockings were prepared for approximately 1,600 children.

Merchants Pleased

By Busin ess Activity

Make A Program Possible

By TOM BAINES Reflector Staff Writer

With only a few exceptions, local merchants surveyed this week reported that sales volume and shopper traffic during the 1982 Christmas buying season were consistent with, and in some instances far above, last years levels.

Several store managers emphasized that, while final figures for this year would probably run about like 1981, the comparisons were based on what they considered an unusually good Christmas season last year.

The survey results also supported what a number of merchants predicted when the new enclosed mall opened a few years back; that business at the facility would improve substantially after the buying public became accustomed to a new way of shopping and the mall began to mature as a regional center.

Business activity in the shopping centers was fairly heavy, the survey indicated, and overall sales levels at some Qf the downtown stores, with one or two exceptions, appeared to be about on a par with 1%1.

Several merchants said Greenville continues to enjoy a level of economic stability that is not found in some other areas in the states eastern section. The ability of the business community to attract shoppers from outside the immediate area was also cited as a positive factor in the evaluation of sales totals.

Unreal was the term used by a spokesman for a local furniture business in describing 1982. We had a super good 12 months and we had our best year ever last year, he said, adding that sales were up about 20 percent for the year and for December over 1981.

The ^kesman, who said that some 40 percent of his business involved customers from outside the county, said the traffic lull that is usually expected in early December never materialized this year. Traffic in the store was greater than ever, he reported.

Popular sellers were La-Z-Boy rockers, sofas and chairs and grandfather clocks, the spokesman said, adding that this is the dining room season and sales have been very successful on pieces for that particular room.

The assistant manager at one of the popular department stores at a local shopping center reported that business had been brisk since Thanksgiving, especially when the weather turned cool. He said the Saturday before Christmas was the stores best sales day ever and overall results were up from last year in terms of sales volume and traffic.

We put a whole lot of items on sale and a lot of people seemed to be waiting for that, he said. Since the weather turned cool and the prices were reduced, it has been a blowout.

Video games enjoyed outstanding sales and radiator style heaters seemed to ca^ on with shippers. The spokesman said many ci^mers entered the store with newspaper ads in their hands and apparently were locddng for particular items.

Overall, it has been a pretty ^ season fcnr us, with traffic and buying both from last year, reported the manager of a large discoimt dqiartment store. He said, I think people

shop. Local merchants report that business has been good throughout the holidays. (Reflector photo by Chris Bennett)

know more about what they want. 1 havent seen a lot of spot or impulse buying.

Among the more popular choices were Atari video games, kerosene heaters and toys, especially anything having a militaiy look. We had heard the trend would be in military items this year and it has been, he said. Next year, it will be something else.

A spokesman for a downtown book store said the firm had been delighted with our sales this season. She said the store is now in a different location and that probably accounted for some of the success in traffic volume, but it has just been better than last year in traffic and sales.

All wooden and homemade country items sold well and the popular table of bargain books generated a lot of activity, she said. As usual, the Bible was a big seller.

Business at a local tobacco store was up 40 percent this Giristmas, said a spokesman who noted that the firm stocked so much more merchandise this year. He said that lighters, pipes, cigars,, mugs, steins, and coffee cigis were very p<^u-lar, as w*re tobacco samplers. ;

The owner ^ of a local filing goods store also pointed to a successful year at his firm, motioning that sales increases were re-ccnded each month since last September. Traffic was tremKkHGs at the firms hunting and fishing store at another location here, he

Tell Friends Hubby Was A Corner Pick Up

By Abigail Van Buren

< by Universal Press Syndicate

DEAR ABBY: This may not seem like much of a problem, but at the moment its monumental.

I am engaged to marry a wonderful young man 1 met four months ago. We have everything in common (interests, ethnic backgrounds, religion, etc.), and more important, we really love each other.

We met when I came to this town and was looking for a building. I was told it was two blocks south of Third Street. My sense of direction is not very reliable, so I approached a nice-looking young man who was walking in my direction, and 1 politely asked him which way was south.

He smiled pleasantly, said that he was walking south too, and offered to walk me to my destination. In less than 10 minutes we realized we liked each other enough to strike up an acquaintance. And you know the rest.

The problem: When people ask me how 1 met my fiance, what do I say?

I thought I might insult the children as they grew older but they pretend they like them youre never too old for ^ cookie, she added. Several of the children are married now and have children and she has added the children and husbands to her growing list of those receiving gingerbread boys. Her husband, Knott, helps her now since their children are grown.

Mrs. Proctor work& at night getting the gingerbread boys ready.

It gives me a great deal of pleasure and I have established a Christmas tradition which I like and thats why I continue, Mrs. Proctor said. Its a special way of wishing neighbors and friends a very merry Christmas. We found this simple gesture at Christmas brings both the giver and recipient so much fun that it has become one of our family traditions. I also like being called the gingerbread lady.

When asked how many she bakes and gives, Mrs. Proctor said, More than a 100 and less than 200.

r CAROL VECCHIONE NEW YORK (UPD-Deft little Capuchin mwikeys -the familiar organ-grinder monkeys - are providing helping hands ai^ new hqiie for quadriplegics longing for a more indepoHlent Ufe.

Dr. Mary Willard, a Bronx--based psychologist, says she got the idea of Capuchin monkeys fetching objects and feeding paralysis victims when she worked in a

hospital and befriended a quadriplegic patient.

At first, the idea of a monkey helping a quad seemed a little farfetched to some people, she says. But really the concept involves two members of the animal kingdom sharing a daUy routine.

The monkeys are intelligent and able to lift objects with human like hands.

The Capuchins are about a foot tall, weigh 25 pounds and live an average of 30 years.

In 1977, Dr. Willard trained a monkey, donated by an organ grinder, to hc^ a young man whose body was paralyzed. Since then, three monkeys have bei placed and three more are in training.

To teach the monkeys 15 commands takes six months of work, an hour a day.

Ih-. Willard devotes m<t of her time to the project and: works out of a laboratory Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, with the part-time hdp of coiiege students.

Handicapped owners verbally command the monkeys and point to objects with a laser beam attached to the wheelchair. If the owner desires a page in his book turned, he alerts the monkey with th" beam and the monkey rr .ids.

Other duties include turn- ing lights on and off, getting food out of a refrigerator, feeding owners and ^'>ing li^t housekeeping.

But the most cheri^ unofficial, reponsibility the monkey is con -nionship.

Louis Corvess, 27, ( ; Cranston, R.I., is the newest owner of a monkey, named SuSu.

Su Su is fantastic - she makes me feel complete,' Corvess said. If I want a sandwich or to listen to music, she can get it for me and I dont have to d^nd on' my mother or father 24 hours a day.

More than 80 percent of all quadriplegics are men ancf aU of the monkeys trained are female, Willard said.

She attributes those facta to the nature of both.

Yming moi are notorious drivers and are injured in accidents, Willard said: Female monkeys tend to be more even-tempered and trainable than the male of the species.

The three owners did not have to pay for their monkeys. But the psychologist, who trained with famed behavorial psychologist B.F. Skinner, says her funds are running out.

Dr. Willard says she hopes to continue and expand her work and has establidied a non-profit organization called Hdping Hands; Si* mian Aid for the Disabled.

You know you cant evef be totally indqiafident buj the monkey helps cut the isolation and gives you arms and legs again, in a way, Corvess said.

NEW YORK (UPI) - A New York-based candy company is making boxed candy with Swiss chocolate and other imported ingredients at prices about one-third below comparable European-style boxed candy.

The reduced cost is partly due to molding instead of hand-dipping the filled chocolates, some of which contain flavorings of such

spirits as Grand Marnier, rum and amaretto.

Max Hess, a Swiss master candy maker, developed the chocolates for Chateau Suisse. They are sold in department stores and specialty shops throughout the United States in boxes ranging in size from 2 ounces to 2 pounds. Suggested list price, about $12 a pound.

Couple Marries In

Candlelight Ceremony

Sandra Denise Atkins and Reginald Percival Stepney were united in marriage in a candlelight ceremony Saturday at 5 p.m. at Wells Chapel Church. The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. James Snuggs of Greenville.

A program of wedding music was presented by Sandra Moore, organist. Wanda Carmon of Raleigh sang You Light Up My Life and The Lords Prayer. Bobby Sylver of Wilson sang Ribbons in the Sky and You and I.

The bride is the daughter of Thomas Atkins and Mary Atkins, both of Greenville. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Stepney of Hertford.

The bride was given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father. She wore a formal white gown of Chantilly lace designed by Queen Fit. The gown was fashioned with a Queen Anne neckline accented with motifs of Venise lace centered with sequins and seed pearls. The fitted bodice and natural waistline were overlaid with an applique of Venise lace sequin and seed pearls. The long full Chantilly lace sleeves were trimmed with an applique of Venise lace centered with sequins and pearls. The full skirt of Chantilly lace, with organza ruffles, was highlighted with a flounced lace trim hemline which flowed into a scalloped cathedral train. Her fingertip veil of illusion was a capulet

streamers.

Leavem Atkins, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and wore a daphne rose formal gown styled with spaghetti straps and full drap in the skirt. She carried a pink mum tied with pink and burgundy streamers.

And in some instances, readymade equivalents simply dont dxist.

; One publication, The Complete Book of Traditional Fair Isle Knitting, by Sheila McGregor (Scribners, $15.95), preserves for future generations a type of hand Hnitting that is threatened by (Ml-related jobs in the North ^a area v^ere the islands re located. As young women go out to work, the knitting is increasingly left to the elderly instead of being passed along to the next generation.

Fair Isle technique uses two colors in each row to make a double fabric that provides extra warmth as well as beauty of design.

Ms., McGregor says the patterns can be knitted with any technique^ as long as you use round needles. She provides charted designs for sweaters, socks, caps, gloves, mittens and scarves. British terminology and the intricacy of the patterns put her projects at the very advanced to professional Ifevel.

^lQuilts to Wear, by Virginia Avery (Scribners, ; ^19.95) is largely an idea book, picturing exquisite traditional and modem de $igns. It shows and tells in broad general terms how to adapt commercial paper patterns to quilted apparel but leaves actual designs to the reader.

In Creating and Knitting Your Own Designs for a Perfect Fit (Harper and Row, $17.95) Montse Stanley provides projects for skill levels from beginner and intermediate to advanced. She also evaluates each one in terms of use, fashion value, warmth, durability, cleaning cost, personal preference, appropriateness to the wearers figure and allergies a wearer may have. Her designs for men, women and children are accompanied by charts and de tailed instructions for measurements.

Not Just Another QuUt contains 20 contemporary designs, including some wall hangings, by four Connecticut quilters, Sarah Doolan Gobes, Mickey Lawler, Sheila Meyer and Judv Robbins (Van Nostrand

Reinhold, $18.95). The patterns are full-size. Charts cover cutting, yardage and finished sizes. Robbins system for graphing designs on special paper allows you to see what a quilt will look like before you invest time and money in actually making it. The system is equally applicable to traditional quilting.

The 20 designs in John James Audubons Birds in Cross Stitch by Ginnie Thompson v (Scribners, $17.95) raise the level of the simplest type of embroidery, to a sublime level. Anyone who can make an X with needle and thread on even-weave fabric can execute these charming designs from fully-graph^ illustrations. Detailed areas are shown in erJargements, a blessing for people with less that 20-20 vision. The only other requirement is patience. The author and her husband, residents of Pawleys Island, S.C., are manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of needlecraft products and supplies.

Needleworkers who show and sell their work at craft fairs, church bazaars and the like will find more than 100 simple but attractive designs and full-size patterns in Leslie Linsleys Christmas Ornaments and Stockings (St. Martins Press, $17.95). Materials include felt, fabric and needlepoint for plastic canvas.

Clark, cousin of the bride, were flower girls and wore long white lace dresses trimmed with pink ribbons and pink flowers.

The ring bearer was Alon Stepney of New York, nephew of the bridegroom.

The mother of the bride wore a dress of daphne rose chiffon accented with long sleeves. The mother of the bridegroom wore a dress of daphne rose trimmed in burgundy with long sleeves. Both were remembered with white carnation corsages.

Michael Vaughn, uncle of the bridegroom, was best man and ushers included Thomas Atkins, brother of the bride, and Calvin Parker of Greenville, Andrew McEachem, Tony Thomas and Shelton Murphy of Raleigh and Alvin Stepney, brother of the bridegroom of New York.

Mrs. Shady Clark of Richmond, Ja. directed the wedding.

A reception was held at St. Gabriels School given by the brides parents. Mrs. Leroy Best was hostess.

The brides relatives entertained at a rehearsal dinner Friday evening at the home of the bride.

The bride is a senior at North Carolina State University majoring in civil engineering. The bridegroom graduated from N.C. State and is employed by the state.

After a wedding trip to unannounced points, the couple will live in Raleigh.

Pups And Kittens Need Calm

Welcome Says Animal Scientist

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Pren Food Ettthr Its hard to find an oidstanding new cookie recipe. But heres one that is perfect to serve with eggnog on New Years Day. If you try these cookies, we hope they make as big a hit at your house as they did at ours.

Butter, sugar, eggs and regular flour go into this dough, but its the addition of oat flour, almonds and cinnamon that mark their flavor and texture. These new Star Cookies may remind you of the Gman holiday cookie called Zimtsteme (Cinnamon Stars) even though that traditional sweet is made only with egg whites, sugar, almonds and cinnamon.

STAR COOKIES 1 cup (about) oat flour, see Note Vk cups all-purpoa flour 2>^ teaspoons baking powder >/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon V4 teaspoon all^ice l-3rd cup butter Vk cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 large eggs l-3rd cup finely ground blanched almonds On wax paper stir together oat "flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice.

In a large bowl cream butter, sugar and vanilla; beat in 2 whole eggs and I egg yolk; reserve the remaining 1 egg white. Stir in flour mixture and almonds. Chill until firm enough to roll thin.

On a pastry cloth with a stockinet-covered rolling pin, roll >4 of the dough to 1-16-inch thickness. (Keep remaining dough chilled.) Cut with a 2-inch star-shape cookie cutter; place slightly apart on a buttered cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Beat reserved egg white until frothy; brush over tops of cookies. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until browned - about 8 minutes. With a wide metal ^atula remove to wire racks; cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container.

Makes about 8 dozen.

Note: To make oat flour, in a food processor with the metal blade or in an electric blender, grind l/4 cups quick or regular oats until they are as fine as flour -about a minute.

By PATRICIA Me CORMACK UPI Health Editor If a pup or kitten is on this years CTiristmas list, put off delivery of the new member of the family until the day after Christmas. Yes, after.

That is for pets sake and for those human family members, young or old, who just naturally will want to hug and kiss it, scratch its back or ring its neck with a holiday bell.

Dr. Barbara Jones, a scientist who recommends the delayed delivery, says Christmas Day already is too overloaded with distractions, ^aranteeing a less than ideal get-acquainted scene for humans, felines and canines.

The day after Christmas is' relatively much more calm, die said, and gives animals and people of all ages time to get the ikw relationship off on a better footing.

Dr. Jones is a scientist at the Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society, School of Veterinary Medi-cLne, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Among other things, scientists there have found having a pet reduces stress and can also lower blood pressure in hypertensives.

It has been learned that persons with heart trouble survive longer if they have a pet.

Dr. Jones offers these guidelines where small children are concerned: Dont let kids tug tails or

ears or stick fingers in pets eyes or mouth.

Teach kids to carry the pet in both arms, clasping securely but not strangling.

Do not let kids throw the pet or drop it.

For the young pets sake, Dr. Jones said it is wise to put a blanket-wrapped, ticking clock in the pet bed. The ticking will remind the baby animal probably about 12 weeks old of the ticking of its mothers heart. This will ward off separation trauma and incessant weeping through the night.

For Bide-A-Wee Home Association, a New York City-based animal welfare organization, Dr. Jones has just put finishing touches on Animal Kind 1982: An Educators Guide to The New Science of Human-Animal Interaction.

Dr. Jones said the guide is meant for use in elementary schools, which are required by state law to provide education in the humane treatment of animals and birds.

The Bide-A-Wee Association said such laws are on the books in Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Dr. Jones said the guide will help to make children and teachers aware of the

fact that animals have positive health benefits.

Petting a dog reduces blood pressure, she said.

Research has shown that withdrawn children become talkative when a dog is in the therapists office.

The mental, physical and emotional benefits of having a pet have been documented by scholars. Dr. Jones said. Some of the benefit comes from the fact that the pet greets a person when he or she comes home.

This eliminates an event known as coming home to an empty house.

Another plus with pet ownership is the well-being that comes from knowing that somebody - dog, cat, even a bird or turtle - needs you, depends on you for sustenance.

Dr. Jones said many pet owners think of their animals as people.

Dog owners often think of their do^ as another child.

She did not talk about dogs who think they are people. There is no question in the mind of snooty French poodles mini to standard and royal, as any poodle owner (this one included) will testify.

Dogs and cats, no matter how human they feel, cant tell anyone what they feel, of course - one reason they are held in high esteem as companions.

"One of the attractions of animals is that they dont talk. Dr. Jones said.

You can talk to animals about anything and know it will not be passed around.Even the most trusted of fellow humans blab secrets on occasion.

"The animal also offers you a little time out, little bouts of relaxation. she said.

Dr. Jones said horses get talked to by their owners more than any other animals. Some people sing to their animals.

establish connections with the living things aroundus ... that no technological change, no matter how radical, can take away.

Touching other kinds of life around and touching each other are not dissimilar processes, Dr. Jones said.

In the past 20 years biological science has discovered what most sensitive people knew: communication through touch is a critical and essential part of our lives.

We have learned that children need touch as much as they need food, water and air. Babies given the best medical care but not held and touched will die, or become stunted in their intellectual and social development.

The original meaning of the word pet is a lamb or some other farm animal raised by hand. Dr. Jones noted.

Pets can reduce stress because we interact with them using a combination of talk and gentle touch, she said..

People talk to pets in the same way that they talk to infants and intimates. This comforting style of expression is associated with distinct patterns of facial expression, rate and tone of speech, and a measurable decrease in blood pressure and other signs of tension.

These behavioral observations confirmed data from interviews which suggested that pets play an important role in the family as a kind of constant child. Dr. Jones said.

"The theapeutic uses df pets reflect their role in the normal household as a conduit for affection without the ambivalence that characterizes most human relationship.

There is a natural part of people that, in some way, has more of an affinity with animals than with electronic games, Dr. Jones says In the preface to the new guide, subtitled A Touch of Life. That natural part of ourselves has undergone less change over the years than the contents of our minds and, as a result, can

And It Came To Pass...

MAN HASN7 FULFILLED THAT VERY WELU

And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.

And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galillee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David.

To be taxed with Mary his

espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they

were there, the days were accomplished that she should be

delivered.

And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in a manger, because there was no room for him in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid.

And the Angel said unto them. Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which

shall be to all people. For unto you is bom this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of heavenly hosts praising God, and saying.

Glory to God in the hipest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them unto the heaven, the shepherds said to one another, let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which has come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

All they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

A Gift That Has Grown

Holidays Differ Today

It is Christmas once again and the holiday spirit, the gift giving and the revelry of the season extend even to non-Christian people.

As the day approaches, however, it takes on its own special, solemn, yet joyous meaning for those who accept Christianity. It is the day we celebrate as the birth of Jesus, an event which gave hope of salvation and life after death for the few who

believed 2,000 years ago. It is a miracle that the message spread throughout the world and hundreds of millions of people believe today.

For Christians,' the spirit of Christmas is in the great gift that we were given in ancient times. It is a gift that has grown more precious with time and carries with it unprecedented hope and joy.

Arson Is No Game

By FAULT. OCONNOR

RALEIGH - Heres a Christmas present that could have really lit up your tree.

A Maryland software firm was selling a video game this fall which challenged your ability to set fires in a five-story building without burning yourself to death in the process. Muse Inc. of Baltimore was marketing the game for use with Apple brand computers.

ijlow good are you at setting fires? Muse asked in the games promotional material. Winner of the game was the player who could set the most fires with gasoline and get away alive.

The game was not a big hit with the N.C. Arson Awareness Council, which doesnt find arson very entertaining. The council learned of the games existence at its December meeting. The National Fire Protection Association solicited support from the firefighting and public safety agencies around the country and the state council decided to help out. Apparently the game has caused an uproar around the globe as even international firefighting associa

tions have been criticizing it.

"We dont know how many games were sold, or even if the games were sold here in North Carolina, says Ken Farmer, director of the N.C.

Arson is one of the nations fastest growing crimes. Last year, 820 Americans died in fires of suspicious origin and intentionally set fires did an astronomical amount of dollar damage. In North Carolina, arson statistics are scarce. But, for the month of July, 10 percent of the reported fires in the state were of suspicious origin. Those fires caused 22 percent of the (Please Turn To Page 5)

We jUst got a Christmas card and letter from an old friend, Virginia Floogle. It made me realize that not everyone is spending their holidays as they have in the past.

Dear Folks:

I guess youre surprised to see the name Klingle instead of Floogle on the envelope. Well, George and I were divorced last summer and I married a wonderful man named Henry Klingle. George married a woman named Marietta Hagler who is 20 years younger than he is, and quite mousey looking.

The children are all well. Robert, our youngest, is spending the holidays with his father, and Susan, my Henrys youngest daughter, is spending them with us, as her mother wants to go skiing with her boyfriend. Jeff, my oldest boy, has gone to his fiancees house to meet her mother and her stepfather.

Jeffs fiancee is a wonderful girl. Her father lives in San Francisco with his third wife and is a broker. Her present stepfather went to Princeton about the same time as my present husband

What is the secret of a joyous Christmas reunion?

When families and friends get together, there can be an atmosphere of harmony and peace if even one person in the group knows and understands the power of prayer.

You can be that one. Wherever you find yourself, you radiate a spirit of peace and unity. In any gathering, you can silently bless all who are present; you can know that Gods spirit is in each one. You can be a center of harmony and understanding as you keep your thoughts loving and peaceful, as you keep your mind stayed on God, as you keep your attention on the good and true and perfect in all persons.

You will find that, as you consciously bless the place where you find yourself, the people with whom you find yourself, with a prayer of love and peace, the atmosphere around you will be filled with peace, and the people arond you will be harmonious, congenial and happy.

Let us all keep Christ in Christmas! Let us keep Christmas in our hearts!

Mrs. Beatrice C. Maye Greenville

To the editor:

This is my letter to Santa:

It has been a long time since I have written to you. I have now moved from the old house on Happy Street to a house of loneliness and doubt which stands at the end of Disillusionment Avenue. Please bring me a few of those precious toys that I once had. The shining bubbles of Joy, the tinkling bells of Cheer that rang in my voice, the candles of Faith that shone in my eyes, the frankincense and myrrh of steadfast Hope that strengthened my soul and the lone star of Universal Love that gleamed in my heart.

In the years past, 1 realize I did not appreciate those pricel^ treasures or care for them as I should have. But 1 repent my carelessness and humbly ask you to remember me with another supply this year. I will hang my empty heart by the chimney, Santa, and please, this is what I want.

Give me a big basket of forgetfulness with which to cover up all bitterness and useless brooding. A large box of forgiveness for those who have robbed me of laughter and filled my eyes with tears. Leave me enough of the cement of Hqie to mend the shattered fragments of Joy. Tuck in a little song of Cheer and please leave quite a iot of plain old-fashioned Faith, Understanding, Unselfishness, and Tolerance that I can share freely with those I love.

This poem I wrote many years ago and wanted to share it this Christmas with others who might be feeling the same things. . '

Charlene was coming home for the holidays, but she was invited to go to the Virgin Islands with a girlfrikd in her office and one of the vice presidents of the firm whom the girl is living with.

Weve decided not to make a big deal of New Years Eve this year. Wilma Edelstein, I guess you knew her when she was Wilma Morton, is coming down as she just broke up with some fellow named Mike.

Ther isnt too much to report except for the fact that Henry and I are deliriously happy. Of course we cant live it up until Henrys wife gets married again so he can stop his alimony support.

AP i^ial Correspoodent

WASHINGTON (AP) - It wais a leftover session of Congress, and its major produc^on was a stqigap. Some gap.

It came to about $379 billion, over the next 10 months. That made the measure the granddaddy of continuing resoluticms, the device throi^ wdiich C<mi-gress covers most of the governments spending much ofthetie.

In theory, Congress fixes targets, appropriations committees fashion bills to fit them, and spending is voted in 13 categories, for budget years beginning on Oct. L In fact, it doesnt work.

President Reagan has complained about that, and did again as he signed on Tuesday the giant continuing resolution that will keep Washington going throu^ the end of September 1983.

There were complaints in Congress, too, about the unmanageable process of managing spending legislation. But its likely, almost certain, that come next September, there will be more resolutions to tide over the a^ncies and programs that havent received ieir appropriations.

,This years resolution was a' 300-page measure, covering spending for six areas of government that never did or will - get their appropriations. It wont be necessary, since the resolution lasts for the rest of the fiscal year.

The Office of Management and Budget estimated that the spending it covers will come to $379 billion, and Reagan said that it was at least in line with his effort to curb federal outlays. The measure includes about $232

billion in defense spending. He had wanted at least that program handled in a separate appn^riations bill, but couldnt get it. I

In signing the measure, three days after the Pentagon and assorted other agencies theoretically rah out of funds, Reagan said he was deeply trouWed by the' budget-making process in our government. But at least this time, for the first-time in three years, Congr^ did complete action coverii^. the full budget year befo^. adjourning.

The stq)gaps usually aie^ approved for shorter perioc^, meaning that they need re--newal at intervals, meaning, that there is a handy vehicle for debate that can lead to stalemate on all sorts of issues.

Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, D-Mo., cast a protest vote, against adoption of the con-; tinuing resolution, calling It a monument to nondeliberation.

This hectic, frantic, helter-skelter way of doing the nations business is unacceptable, he said. To rush through, on a last-minute basis, the bill which funds 78 percent of appropriated money makes'a mockery of the Senate tradition as the worlds greatest deliberative parlimentary body.

He will, undoubtedly, be able to make the same speech, with minor editing, again next year.

The government year used to begin on July 1, biit Congress never managed to pass appropriations bills in time. So the calendar was changed to start the year on Oct. 1 as part of the budget reform process.

New deadline. Old problem.

BOUND TO BE ANYTHING BUT DULU

Relative Power To Borrower

ByJOHNCUNNIFF AP Business Analyst

NEW YORK (AP) - As interest rates fall the transfer of relative power from lender to borrower gains momentum, which probably accounts for the smile on Uncle Sams face.

Sam is the all-time big borrower, of course, no matter how big flourish is made by upstarts like Mexico and Brazil. Unlike them, however, his debt is all internal. But debt nevertheless.

Interest must be paid on debt, and in Uncle Sams case that debt was $1.17 trillion on Dec. 16, or something like $4,850 a person, and with the interest cost, in October,. for instance, amounting to $8.9 billion.

That enormous amount is a consequence not only of continued government borrow

ing but 01 rising interest rates over the past four years. Interest paid by Uncle Sam more than doubled between 1978 and 1982.

But with interest rates falling now. Uncle Sams burden will be lightened. At the end of September, for example, $280 billion in Treasury bills was outstanding at-an average cost of 12 percent.

During the next year, Morgan Guaranty exstimates, these bills will be refinanced at an average rate of about 8 percent, for a reduction in interest expense of $11 billion. About $100 billion of notes and bonds that pay 12.2 percent will mature during 1983, and they also will be resold at lower rates.

When you are dealing with government finances, however, you must not rejoice about good news before you

find if theres a catch. And there is, as the Morgan economists point out.

This saving in interest expense, however, will be offset by enlarged borrowing to cover the budget deficit, they observe. As a result, they estimate that net interest expenses will diange yery little at all.

Productivity growth also is a two-headed beast.

Growtti in productivity, or production efficiency, is one of the goals of the nations anti-inflation policy. When productivity improves, business generally makes money, workers earn wages and price increases are restrained.

Well, the annual rate of productivity growth jn the third quarter of year, 4.2 percent in the private business sector, was the bluest on record during a recession.

Now the other side of the

story: That improvement in productivity resulted, as it usually does in recessions, from layoffs. Workers vlio remain on payrolls often, but not always, are the more efficient and harder working.

Moreover, employers generally have cut to the bone by now in various other ways. They have, for example, also laid off or closed their least efficient plants, and they have eliminated many no^ pay or slow-pay customers.

What the evidence suggests is that the priv^ sector is getting more wdrk per manhour, but not more production overall. Wiiat goods are being made, tliat is, are being made at lower per-unit costs, but fewer good are being made.

The real test of pto^ ductivity improvement comes in a growing economy.

LONDON (AP) - Charles Dickens London lives, especially at Christmas when the gray old town glows with the humor, hope, charity and cheer traditionally used by the English to warm their bleak winter.

In his immortal classic, A Christmas Carol, Dickens wrote in 1843 that the brightness o the shops ... made faces ruddy as they passed. TTiis year, as then, the scene is much the same.

Celebrate Christmas

(Ck>ntinued from page 1) holiday shopping season that was up consi^rably from last years ^at season, the manager said. Recalling that sales got off to a good start right after Thank^ving, he said, We are still happy. The Saturday before Christmas possibly represented the peak but he predicted a good final week of sales.

Microwave ovens, sound systems, typewriters, electronic games and televisions, especially a small portable black and white mpdel that could be used by the younger famUy members in their rooms, were standouts. The mens department also had good sales.

Business was running ahead of last year at a shop specializing in electronic items, a spokesman said. He mentioned that sales at the firms mall and shopping center shops were up. Wireless remote tel^hones were hi^ on gift lists and home computers sold better than radio controlled cars. The manager said traffic was good during the day at the shopping center location and was better at night at the mall store.

The owner of mens clothing stores at the mall amf downtown said that business was pretty much matching the results of last year, one of the firms best ever, and we may be up slightly. He said the last week before Christmas was . awfully importaiit in ! 0iging the ^cess of the season but he emphasized - that his business had enjoyed a very good 1982, not just the Christmas season.

He said out-of-town business continued to be a big factor in the stores sales success. The owner noticed . * no particular buying trends this year although shoppers continued to put a lot of thought into tlwir clothing purchases. He said his store does not buy off-price merchandise and is not a promotional firm, stressing quality.

A manager of another of the large shopping center discount department stores said sales at his business have been ^at, better than last Christmas. He said electronic items and all : ^]^s were popular this year, with business generally good storewide.

' * The spokesman said it is disappointing that Greenville has a blue law that is enforced only once a year. He said that Sunday sales and competition among stores are good for Greenville and local stores draw from a large area outside the city. Do we want to tell these pe(^le they cant come to Greenville on Sunday and shop? The manager suggested that we need to put it to a vote and get rid of<this problem.

, Sales at a local pet store were also heavy this year, running about 40 percent ahead of 1981, said the manager, who added that the shop was looking to go to 30 percent by the end of the y^ar. We are h(q)ing for two big weeks before the first of the year.

, Tte manager said a lot of pqppies were bought and a<iarium setups, birds and cages were purchased in ^reat numbers. He said a lot of people seemed to be buying birds and other things for themselvei although many were gift pim^ifies.

^ The spokesman cited two

factors for sales Increases at the mall this year: people are more confident in what has happened economically in the last 12 months; and the mall is beginning to reach its drawing potential.

Bike sales at a local center were on a par with 1981 and overall business will probably be about the same as last year, the owner reported. He said that while go-cart sales have been down, exercise bikes have been the big sellers. Dirt bikes were also popular items this year, he said.

We have had a lot of late sales, he mentioned, adding that the firm could end up being ahead in bike sales if the brisk late purchasing continued.

Things were pretty slow until about two weeks ago, but its looking up now, a spokesman for a local electronics firm said. He said sales were not quite as good this year as they had been but we are lucky to be doing what we are doing.

The ^x>kesman said his customers were more selective this year in their buying and large items did not move as well. He said cordless telephones were very pq)ular.

Business at a local camera shop was about the same this year, said a spokesman, who reported that 35-milimeter cameras were very popular choices in his store.

The manager of one of the downtown department stores said the firm experienced a good season, we are well pleased. He said customers seemed to prefer the better merchandise this year and nighttime traffic had been good on several occasions. The spokesman said the companys store at a local shopping center also had a successful Christmas season.

Handbags, especially the more expensive selections, moved well, and sales at a gift bar at the store were heavy. The manager also noted that gimick gifts for children were pq)ular.

Toys enjoyed an excellent year at a local discount store, according to the manager, who said Christmas business was up 17-18 percent from 1981. Electronic items were popular, e^ially the more expensive selections, he said. Other big sellers were Strawberry Shortcake dolls, GI Joe, Smurf, ET and Barbie, which had sales that more than tripled 1981 results. The expensive Barbie items, such as $100 dcdl houses, sold fast, the manager said.

The manager of a downtown department store said that bushtess there had been kind of slow, not as good as we had expected, while sales at the firms mall store were up from last year. Outerwear sales were heavy at both stores, he reported.

North Carolina is now one of the leading producers of the plant in the country^

Beirut residents on Thursday brought some of the holiday to 1,200 U.S. Marines stationed far from home.

Less than a mile away, Christian and Druse militiamen waged their sectarian battles with grenades and automatic rifles near the proposed site of Israeli-Lebanese negotiations on withdrawal of foreign forces from Lebanon.

At the Marine command post near the airport, joking and smiling servicemen welcomed a delegation from Beiruts French-language newspaper LOrient Le Jour, delivering 3,600 bottles of Lebanese wine, 1,320 pounds of frozen turkey, 120 cakes and a small gift for each of the men.

The Christmas cheer was bought with $55,640 contributed by Beirut residents in a campaign organized by the newspaper. An unidentified Lebanese nursery owner added 25 to 30 Christmas trees.

This is great, said Cpl. William Raney of Vincennes, Ind. Its nice to know people are thinking of us and appreciate us being here.

Of course, wed rather be home, but this is my ninth Christmas away. Im used to it, he said.

Each of the Marines will receive a box containing three bottles of Lebanese wine and a small gift - a piece of copperware, a glass vase or figurine, a small waterpipe or a set of worry beads like those carried by many men in the Middle East.

Similar gifts went to the French and Italian contingents of the 4,000-man peacekeeping troops. The multinational force has been stationed in the Beirut area since the Palestine Liberation Organization was driven out by the Israeli invasion last summer.

The Marines will man their positions as usual Christmas Eve, but a group of them will sing carols at the wat-chposts, and a young Chris-

Jury Decides On $850,000Award

CHRISTMAS SERVICE A Christmas service will be held Saturday at 8 p.m. at New Hope House of Prayer Holiness Church. The Rev. C.E. Tetterton and Prayer Union of Washington will be in charge of the service.

DETROIT (AP) - The former administrator of the Southeastern Michigan Red Cross blood program is entitled to $850,000 because he lost his job due to racial discrimination, a jury decided.

A Wayne County Circuit Court jury made the award Wednesday to J. Ralph Jenkins, a 62-year-old black man who lost his job in 1978 after he refused to be demoted, said his attorney, Michael Conway.

geese hanging in shop windows and streetcomer fruit vendors.

In subways, the hats of Londons street musicians fill with coins and the halting melodies of tippling carolers leak through pub doors.

Business phones are answered, Happy Christmas, and the sound of laughter and clinking glasses can be heard. Even the staunchly atheist Soviet Weekly wishes its London readers Heartiest Greetings in red and green letters.

In a year when Britains economy sank to depths not seen since the Depression, a year when more than 3 million people haunted welfare lines, a year when 255 British soldiers died in the Falkland Islands war, the Christmas spirit endures.

Despite the recession, stores are reporting a crush of shoppers, with sales as much as 20 percent higher than last year. And not just of sensible items. Harrods, Londons most famous department store, expects to sell a quarter ton of caviar by Christmas Eve, and one of the most popular items is champagne-flavored toothpaste - at $3.15 a tube.

For Londoners, Christmas is the acknowledged opening of the silly season, when newspapers and television, lacking real news, fill up with the most improbaWe items.

Take the large controversy that swirled around charges by a consumer group that tavern owners have been swindling patrons out of millions of dollars a year by counting the froth on ale as part of the pint.

Dickens said part of Christmas appeal is to the child in all of us. Not surprising, then, that the Royal Shakes{are Companys new production of Peter Pan is the top box-office hit - even with a new ending in which Peter and Wendy and the rest of the children grow up to become lawyers, judges and accountants.

Of course for some Londoners, there is no theater or music or gift-giving. Social service groups estimate 200,000 of the 7 million Londoners will spend the holiday alone, many of them elderly widows and widowers.

Christmas unleashes a flood of appeals for money and clothing, for Londons needy. It seems alomost every cause has a Christmas appeal and almost all find patronage. Giving, Dickens wrote, is part of keeping Christmas in London.

There are other traditions: Christmas cards, an English invention . of the 1840s; wassailing, the giving of apples to banish all unhappiness from the past twelve months and crackers, party favors which explode when their twisted wrapping is tugged.

At Christmas, Londoners see pantomime, a kind of vaudeville that has nothing to do with silence and in which the female lead is a male in drag and the principal boy is a woman in tights and little else. They hear Handels Messiah. written here in 24 days in 1742 and performed annually in scores of London concert halls and churches.

Civic Ciubs Help Ring Belts

Greenville area civic clubs, rather than helping individual families on their own, for the most part this year have helped raise money to support the Salvation Armys Chri^as program.

A survey of nine civic organizations - Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary, Optimists, Jaycees - showed that members rang the bell at Salvation Army kettle locations in Greenville to hdp raise funds so the army could provide food and fruit baskets for 700 to 800 families and stocking stuffers for 1,600 children.

However, at least two of the organizations, the Greenville Host Lions Cloub and the Greenville Noon Rotary (Hub, have provided food baskets for needy families in addition to their bell-ringing activities.

Historically, local civic organizations have .adopted families at Qiristmas. But in the past few years, organizations have been more inclined to join together in a more unified effort throu^ the Salvation Army program.

Entertainment Characters And! Electronic Games Are Popular'

Characters made household names by movies, tde-vision, video games and comic strips this year carry Christmas cheer for children with the Smurfs, E.T., Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Ziggy and Garfield figuring largely in toy sales.

If a toy manufacturer could put an E.T. or Smurfs motif on it this year, its selling, according to Mattte Britton in the toy department of Penneys here. There are E.T. and Smurf stuffed toys, games, riding toys, lap trays, walking figures and toothbrushes - to name a few of the forms in which the

On AprU 11,1983, Pasetta, who specializes in live televi--sion, will direct the 55th Annual Oscar show from the Los Angeles Music Center, his 12th consecutive year at the helm.

After a dozen years, I still find the Oscar telecast a challenge, Pasetta says. I am personally honored to be involved in this production, which is the single most important annual event paying tribute to film as a unique art form.

Area Churches Celebrated Christmas All During The Month Of December

By JERRY RAYNOR Reflector Staff Writer

In Protestant and Catholic lands across the world, Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ in many ways - through prayer, song, food and gift giving, pageants, re-enactments of the nativity, observing the four Sundays of Advent, and by decorating sanctuaries with candles, flowers and ornaments.

Observances of the birthday of Jesus Christ, this year, as in ages past, range from great solemn processions at the Vatican to a handful of people in a rural church presenting a simple childrens play and singing a few well-known Christmas songs.

In Greenville, members of various church denominations have l)een celebrating

the birthday season of Christ on Sundays and on weekdays preceding Christmas Day.

A random sampling of the area's many churches was taken of celebrations carried out before ando on Christmas day. Highlight Christmas activities noted in churches contacted are:

Cornestone Missionary Baptist Church - At 6 p.m. on Dec. 5 the Gospelaires of Greenville presented a program entitled Christmas in Songs. The New Deliverance Chancelor Choir led a candleight ceremony, presenting a medley of Christmas songs and music. Also, donations were contributed to provide gifts for residents of nursing and family care homes. The Gospelaires, along with the Majestic Ebonaire Civic Club and interested persons, sung

carols at the nursing and family care homes during the week of Dec. 13-19.

St. Timothys Episcoapl Church - Each Sunday from Nov. 28 through Dec. 19, concerts of Evensong music were presented at the church in conjunction with the Advent season.

Lite As It's Lived

The Season Is One For Confidence In Miracles

By GAIL MICHAELS

Well, its getting down to the wire, folks, and Phillip and 1 are steeling ourselves for the inevitable Christmas Eve ritual. Awaiting Phillips technical expertise are two unassembled hot cycles and a miniature service station, all with instructions which appear to have been written by moonlighting NASA engineers.

Phillip has checked to make certain that their directions are in English, such as it is. I doubt, however, that he has checked the list of implements he needs in order to determine whether theyre typical hardware issue or the kind one hears of only at 11:45 p.m. Dec. 24 when desperate fathers scout the neighborhood in search of aid and succor.

While Phillip is struggling ov- his task, I will be ^ indulging in my normal * Christmas Eve pasttime: I will be worrying. 1 will be wondering how far those two pitiful piles of toys in each comer of the sofa set back our bank account and thinking that perhaps we should have gone more deeply into debt. I will be wallowing all over again in the guilt of ignoring those last-minute requests for an electric train, a very small TV of my very own, and a live rabbit. Worst of all, though. Ill be worrying that, come tomorrow, Zachary still wont forgive Santa Claus.

The trouble between Zachary and Santa started last week at a Christmas pacty Phillips company gave for the children of the employees. For each child there was a ticket printed with the childs sex and age. The child could hand the ticket to Santa Claus and get a present.

Meg and I were both elated with her present, an extremely cheap doll which sutetituted in both her and my estimation for the pretty doll that she requests every year after 1 think Ive

finished my shopping and that she plays with for two or three days before she dumps it in the back of the closet with the rest of her beloved children. Then it was Zacharys turn. He received a blue squeaky toy.

In spite of Zacharys lack of enthusiasm for any toy without wheels, he mi^t have accepted the gift graciously if the little boy ahead of Meg had not received a car, a very large car.

Zachary handed the squeaky toy back to Santa. I would like a car, he said politely.

Ho, ho, ho, but this is what my little 2-year-old friends get, said Santa.

Zacharys chin began to quiver. Please gib me a car.

Santa shifted uneasily in his seat. Well, uh, ho, ho, I have to save these cars for

my 3-year-oId friends. Zachary turned his tear-streaked face toward his daddy. Santa doesnt lub me bewailed. '

Of course he loves you, Phillip said as he grabbed the bereaved child from the nonplussed Santa.

But Zachary refused comfort then, and hes not much more amenable to it now. Whenever Santa is mentioned, he shakes his head lugubriously. He dont lub me, he sighs.

That Santa was artificial, Meg keeps telling him. The real one will probably bring you an even better car.

Indeed he will. And Im convinced that the gift will cancel Zacharys sense of betrayal. Then again. Im convinced that Phillip will manage to put together all those toys before dawn. After all, miracles are what Christmas is all about.

Lost Civilization

Jarvis Memorial United Mefhodist Church - Dis- tribution of food baskets to more than 50 needy people was one of the top activities atJarvis during the Cluristmas season. Another reinemberance of others was Uk gift of poinsettias to shut-ins. During December, a number of special music events were held at the ctnirch, including a presentation of Vivaldis Gloria on Dec. 12, and a concert by the Greenville Boys Choir on Dec. 19. Other mpusical performances were given by an orchestra, a brass ensemble and chamber grotqis. The churchs Hand Bell Choir performed, and on Dec. 12 a live nativity scene was presented. On Dec. 19 a coipbination hayride and caroling was held and the church service featured a Moravian Lovefeast with cafols, speakers and readers. A drop-in communion service vdll be conducted from 4 to 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPI) -More than 500 years ago, a desert civilization vanished so completely it became known as the people who are no longer there.

Now scientists think they may have found one of the mystery peoples last known addresses - downtown Phoenix.

The Hohokam inhabited present-day Arizona around Phoenix between A.D. 1000 and 1450. After that, they disappear without trace, say archaeologists.

Hohokam is a Pima Indian language word that .translates as the people who are no longer there.

John Cable,- project manager for the Central Phoenix Redevelopment Agency, believes" that excavations in downtown Phoenix, undertaken in preparation for new commercial construction, may provide some clues to their fate.

Among the discoveries are 20 prehistoric pit houses that Cable says may represent an unknown archaeological period in the Salt River Valley after A.D. 1400.

To my knowledge, this is the first specialized agricultural site excavated and defined in the valley prq>er and probably within the Hohokam in general, Cable said. He said he is hiding the site will provide informaron op the activities in the valley after the collapse of the Hohokam classic period.

Some historians believe the Hohokam may be the ancestors of the present day, Pima and Papago Indians, but noone has been able to directly link the two.

Cable believes the diggings of Soils Systems Inc., the firm he works for which determines archaeological si^ificance of building sites prior to construction, may help find that link. .

The company has explored two sites, is finishing a third

Recession in the West and war in Lebanon are keeping pilgrims away. A Tourism Ministry ^kesman says the number of Christmas visitors is down 40 percent from last year, when 40,000 were here.

One thing that has not changed in this little town where Christ was bom is the visibility of ^ins and uniforms.

Publicizing Of Charges

Denounced By Bulgaria

VIENNA (AP) - Bulgaria on Thursday denounced Italian officials for making public charges of Bulgarian government involvement in the shooting of Pqpe John Paul II.

It accused the Italians of making futile attempts at vilifying Socialist Bulgaria.

Pitiable is the fact that without any actual proof of thes absurd accusations, members of the Italian government took the liberty of committing themselves to them, thus adding fuel to the fire of the anti-Bulgarian , campaign which is sjill being fanned up in Italy and elsewhere in the West, wrote political commentator Yordan Bozhilov.

Bozhilov, who writes for the official news agency BTA, referred to claims made last Monday in the Italian Parliament by four Cabinet ministers.

They reported on what they said was evidence of a Bulgarian connection to the shooting of the pope on May 13, 1981, by Turkish terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca.

Italian Defense Minister Lelio Lagorio said the attack on the Polish-born pontiff amounted to an act of war and called it a protective and alternative solution to an invasion of Poland.

Other Italian officials charged Bulgarian involvement in gun running and drug trafficking in Italy,

and will be starting soon on a fourth location. All are in the downtown area and most likely will be covered soon by modern-day high-rises.

The pit houses found on the sites range in shape from circular to rectangular and square, giving archaeologists the first indication of varia-tion in domestic architecture.

Cable said archaeologists believe the pit houses they have discovered on the downtown Phoenix sites were built for seasonal occupation each spring and summer to harvest crops.

Several roasting ovens were found on a site excavated last summer. They probably were used to roast corn for long-term storage, later to be ground into meal, Cable said.

Hohokam houses previously discovered-throughout the valley were one-quarter to one-third larger, built to last several years. Some of the pit houses found downtown were smaller than 6 feet by 4 feet. Cable said.

From A.D. 1000 to about A.D. 1450, archaeological findings indicate a veiy complex society was living in the valley.

There are estimates there were between 30,000 to 100,000 people, who built irrigation systems up to 1,000 miles long. Cable said. But at A.D. 1450, that vanishes.

In 1650 or about when the Spanish came, they found a society not nearly so complex, he said. Gone were large ceremonial centers, platform mounds, multistory houses and other signs of advanced civilization.

Noone knows why the society collapsed.

Without sufficient ar-chaeolo^cal information of the period, we cant answer the qu^ions of vtdiere the Hohokam went or if they were ancestors of the Pima and Papago.

KHALDE, Lebanon (AP) Christian and Druse militiamen exchanged rifle and rocket fire near the Mediterranean shore south of Beirut 'Thursday and clasJied in the central Chouf Mountains. Police said three p^-ple were killed and 11 wounded in the newest round of the sectarian feud.

In Tel Aviv, the Israeli army, reported two of its soldiers were killed when a boobytrap exploded near an Israeli army position in the Ein Hilwe Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon, 25 miles south of Beirut. No other details were available.

A rocket struck a police station, killing one person and wounding another, in the northern port city of Tripoli, police said. The pro-Syrian Alawite Moslem militia in Tripoli and a Palestinian-backed Sunni Moslem coalition have been fighting for two weeks for control of the city.

The firefight in Khalde, a suburb five miles south of Beirut, interrupted preparations for Israeli-Lebanese withdrawal talks at the Lebanon Beach Hotel. Israeli officials say the talks will begin Monday or Tuesday.

Lebanese soldiers installing telephone lines and cleaning the hotel huddled inside the seven-story building as rightist Christians in an unfinished building across the street fired M-16 automatic rifles and rockets into the low inland hills, and Druse gunmen in the hills returned the fire.

The two groiq>s also fought in the nearby Chouf Mountain town of Shweifat. Police said 12 people were killed in the fighting in the mountains and in Khalde on Wednesday before an overnight ceasefire that was shattered in mid-afternoon Thursday.

The Druse-diristian feud has claimed about 150 lives in the past two months, according to police estimates.

The fighting at Khalde was within earshot of U.S. Marines stationed at the Beirut airport as part of the ^ multinational peacekeeping force in Lebanon.

The suburb is less than a mile from the southernmost Marine outpost, but none of the fire reached the area, according to the Marine commander. Col. Thomas Stokes, of Raleigh, N.C.

Some air bursts (rockets exploding in the air) went off less than a kilometer, (a half-mile) away, Stokes said. Of course, we are keying an eye on (the fitting). We are watching with interest,

The area where the (Kristian militiamen were stationed is withiiv Israeli-held

territory and about one mile south of an Israeli army checkpoint on the coast road.

and that Bulgaria also had a role in the kidnapping of U.S. Brig. Gen. James L. Dozier.

Bozhilovs commentary repeated earlier Bulgarian denials of these claims, and called the Parliament session in which the charges were made an artificially prompted discussion.

Of 630 deputies, in all only about 80 attended it in the morning, and only 34 came back in the afternoon, it said.

On Wednesday, BTA published a letter in which Bulgarian Justice Minister Svetla Daskalova offered her Italian counterpart, Clelio Darida, cooperation in investigating the shooting of John Paul and other crimes.

Bozhilov said the letter was a sign of the good will of the Bulgarian side, and noted that Bulgaria granted permission for an Italian lawyer and Italian reporters to attend a trial Wednesday of two Italians charged with espionage.

He said he hoped common sense will prevail, that the futile attempts at vilifying socialist Bulgaria will be abandoned and the traditionally good relations between the two countries will not be harmed.

bombs but for hip flasks.

Tight security has become routine since Israel captured Bethlehem and the rest of the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. But Israeli forces are alert for another source of tension this year because Lebanese Christians are taking part for the first time alongside Palestinian (Kristians.

Freij said the Lebanese were welcome. But after years of Lebanese-Palestinian bloodshed, culminating in the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians in Beirut last September, police say they are on alert for trouble.

Israels invasion of Lebanon in the war against the Palestine Liberation Organization last summer has Opened the border for tourism, and Israeli officials say they are expecting 1,000 or more visitors from Lebanon. Only a handful were in evidence in the days before Christmas.

The more Lebanese who come, the closer we are to peace, says Tourism Minister Avraham Sharir, who ordered a pamphlet distributed to Lebanese visitors offering to receive them at Israeli homes.

Israel says an,open border is essential for easing tension, and it is going all out to welcome the pilgrims from the north. Jerusalems City Hall is planning a reception.

Over the years, Christmas in Bethlehem has taken on Western trappings. Neon Santas are strung along the winding roads to Manger Square and shop windows are frosted with snowy scenes, although real snow is

rare here and Santa virtually unknown.

The Christmas trees, adorned with twinkling lights, are artificial.

Despite the intrusion of modern commercialism, official celebrations cling rigidly to a code established 200 years ago.

They begin Friday afternoon with a colorful pageant surrounding the arrival of the Latin Patriarch, Giacomo Gius^pe Beltritti, from his seat in Jerusalem, five miles north. He is escorted by five mounted policemen and hundreds of marching boy scouts.

In the evening, most pilgrims gather outside the massive stone walls of the Crusader-built (Kurch of the Nativity for carols and merrymaking. Protestants hold open-air services in Shepherds Field, about a mile away, where the Bible says shepherds saw the star of Bethlehem over Jesus birthplace 1,982 years ago.

About 1,500 ticket-holders attend midnight Mass. Israeli officials, who have attended in the past, will not be there this year since Christmas Eve falls on the Jewish Sabbath.

The Mass will be broadcast on closed-circuit television onto a huge screen in Manger Square and will be shown live abroad.

The Mass ends with a procession from St. Catherines Church - the Roman Catholic chapel in the building shared by Greek Orthodox and Armenian churches - to the Grotto of the Nativity, where the patriarch places an effigy on the traditional spot of Christs birth.

Folk Art Adapted For Lovelace Home's Decorafiop

By ROSALIE TROTMAN Reflector Staff Writer

Carolyn Lovelace has combined her hobby - folk art into decorating her house for the holiday season. The family Christmas tree is trimmed with folk art ornaments with accents of

babys breath and miniature candles.

Folk art items can be used in almost any home. In my home, which has a country decor, folk art plays an important part in creating the mood important to me,

Mrs. Lovelace said.

Country decor is informal, warm and its comfortable. Its ideal for families that have a home thats lived in. Its conducive to a family atmosphere.

The mantel in the family room is arranged with three

an^ls and six canddabra (which were made by Mrs. Lovelace), pine garland and pine cones. The li^t fixture is also decorated wltti pine garland and smaller folk art animals and ribbon.

Same Story - Nearly All Over: Christmas Trees Are Sold Out

ByMARYSCHULKEN Reflector Staff Writer Its three days before Christmas and you havent bought the family Christmas tree yet.

You ride around town, looking for a bargain, hoping for some last-minute sales, but the pickins are slim. The Optimists have closed and gone home, the grocery stores are bare of greenery and the pick-your owns are all picked.

Nearly all over town, the story is the same: sold out.

Local Christmas tree dealers agree that its been a

good year for sales, with many folks shopping as early as Thanksgiving. Both artificial and real trees were popular with customers, with sales divided about evenly between the two, said retailers.

On Tuesday, Littles Nursery estimated there were about 100 trees left but they were expected to sell out by Christmas.

Last year we sold out the week before Christmas, said Mrs. Clarence Little, but last year there werent as many trees.

Sales have been strong this

season, she added. Just as many (trees) have been selling this year as last year, said Mrs. Little. We sold 30 trees on Monday.

The peak sales day of the year, she said, was the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Artificial trees have also sold well this year, said William Croom of K-Mart in Greenville.

Theyve sold terrific, he said. Weve had fantastic sales on trees this year. We sold out a couple of weeks ago and got 75 or more in last week and wehave just about sold those.

True' Siory Went Into Four Printings: A Hoax

By Dr. H.G. Jones For Tlie Associated Press CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) The book went through at least three printings in English and one in German.

It was called The Entwined Lives of Miss Gabrielle Austin, Daughter of the Late Rev. Ellis C. Austin, and of Redmond, the Outlaw, Leader of the North .Carolina Moonshiners. Its author was listed as Edward B. Crittenden, Methodist bishop of North Carolina.

Illustrated with steel etchings and first issued in 1880, the book told the story of Miss Austin, daughter of a Greensboro Methodist minister, who By trickery was convicted of theft in Virginia and sentenced to the whipping post. Stripped to the waist, she was snatched from the public flogging by a mysterious Robin Hood who allowed her to return home.

Months later, the young lady visited her cousin, a federal marshal at Asheville, N.C., and was astonished as ^she rode with him through the countryside to be accosted by a band of moonshiners led by the man who eariier had rescued her.

She was even more astonished when the man shot the marshal dead and pinned on his body a card signed Redmond which carried a pair of skulls and crossbones and the slogan Thus do I punish my enemies.

Taken as a captive to Redmonds cave, Gabrielle suffered various indignities and evo^ually was the ot>-ject of a resale etfari by her (rid Virginia fiance, C^ie Hadiagen.

CSiariie was cau^, but Gabrielle persuaded their captors iKri only to their lives but to let them go free.

Good-hearted Redmond went back to making litpior and shooting revenuers.

Having ended one narrative, the author then gave Redmonds own account of his life of outlawry.

He claimed to have been born in Mecklenburg County, to have attended Princeton University, and to have traveled in Europe. He turned to outlawry when his father, a member of the Ku Klux Klan, was mur(iered.

And what a feared outlaw he was: He claimed to have been directly concerned with killing 54 men (no women), including a judge, a United States commissioner and an even dozen federal marshals. In other words, anyone who tried to interfere with his practice of free enterprise in the liquor business.

At the end of the book. Redmond saved a lovely Miss Stevens from a raging panther, took over the town of Asheville with 200 armed men, held a big wedding and then galloped off into the night.

Despite the claim of the author that I emphatically endorse this narrative as true in every particular ... the honest stamp of truth in every line, the book was a hoax. Bishop Crittenden

never existed. Nor, apparently, did Gabrielle or Charlie.

But Major Lewis Richard Redmond did indeed exist, though the real life character was almost as mysterious as the mythical Redmond.

In 1881, for instance, R.A. Cobb, who identified himself as a federal official of Morganton, published the True Life of the outlaw.

Describing Redmond as having a wild and roving disposition, Cobb reported that the man was a fairly middling moonshiner of Transylvania County whose fame spread after murdering Deputy Marshal Duckworth in 1876.

With his new-found image, Redmond became a celebrity among other moonshiners, but five years later he was captured, tried and sentenced to 10 years in the federal penitentiary in Albany, N.Y. Much of Cobbs story, however, is also uncorroborated.

Perhaps John Preston Arthur, in his Western North Carolina, published in 1914, came closest to the truth.

Croom said prices on artificial trees range from $24.88 for a seven-foot tree to $12.96 for a four-foot tree.

Our ornaments have also done great, said Croom.

Area residents were divided on preferences for real and artificial trees, but many said they purchased a real tree this year.

We got a red tree this year from the Optimist Gub, said Peggy Gaskins of Ayden. We have a Scotch pine.

The children wanted a real one (tree) this year so I got this one, she. said. They went with me and helpl me pick it out and I let them decorate it.

Ms. Gaskins, who works at the Pjtt County Office Building, said she also has a tree at work. I have one in my office thats a dogwood limb with a bow on it, she said.

Her family put their tree up Dec. 12, she noted.

Elwood Nobles of Ayden said he has an artificial tree this year, both at work and at home.I think its a little safer than a real one, he said, and I think they look better longer than real trees.

Nobles said hes had his artificial tree for several years, and thats another reason he likes it. You can use it more than one year, so 1 think you get more for your money with an artificial tree.

Alice Keene of Greenville has a real tree, a spruce, she said, decorated with ornaments handmade by either herself, friends or family.

My tree is special this year because all the ornaments are either made by me or by special people* in my life or have been given to me over the past few years, said Ms. Keene.

Ms. Keene bought her tree after Thanksgiving and put it up around the first of l5e-cember.

Establishing an 18th century feeling has been (me (ri her reasons for folk art.

TTie toys could rqiresent those^laced under the tree a 100 or so years ago. Any of my folk art objects can be combined with natural materials such as pine and holly and old-fashi(H)ed bows rq>- - resenting the fatnics of that time period. Wall decorations a^ those for tables are designed like the ornaments on the tree. I use candles a lot in decorating, she said.

Most of the Qulstmas gifts given by each memba* of our family are handmade. We feel handmade items are like giving a part of ourselves and carry more meaning than store bought items.

The making of my folk art objects has been a family affair. My husband, Steve, and our friend, Jim, cut everything out for me. I do the carving and my son, Eric, does the sanding while my daughter, Amy, helps with the painting. The household chores are taken over by my oldest son, Jason, when Im busy in my workshop. My family has been very supportive of my work and are my biggest fans, Mrs. Lovelace said.

As I decorated my home,

I found I couldnt afford to buy many of the antique folk art objects I wanted. So I drew up the plans and made my own. I find ie designs for my items in antique books and especially in a book I have on weathervanes. 1 try to reproduce them as accurately as possible.

.The artisans of the 18th and 19th century didnt have the clear bright colors we have today. The tones were muted - brown reds, gray blues, muted greens and golds. I mix my colors to reflect the colors used in that period. Therefore, my palatte comes from the country, from nature, blueberries, apples, com and wheat. I make everything trying to use only those materials which were available at that time. Im a purist and I love nature and the simple lifestyle of our forefathers, she said.

Although creating folk art objects is a hobby now, Mrs. Lovelace hopes to turn it into a business. She has exhibited in several craft shows held this year in eastern North Carolina.

ANIMALS ON WHEELS ... are reproductions of pulltoys of the late 1800s. Other items under the Christmas tree are rocking horses,

dolls with china faces and stuffed animals. Mrs. Lovelace is pictured with two of her children, Eric and Amy.

Benefactor Unknown

GRAFTON, N.D.IaP) -Warren and Linda Bogert dont know the name of their benefactors, but theyre not hesitating to use the cash gifts of $100 or $200 that arrive each year with love.

Bogert, 35, said the first anonymous gift arrived in the mail just before Christmas 1980, just after hed lost his job when the Borden food processing plant shut down.

Bogert has since found a job at the Grafton State School for the mentally retarded, but he said times are still tough and the extra money at Christmas is a big help.

It almost chokes a person up - it does choke a person up, he said. Every year it seems like right about the time we get the money, we really need it for something or were feeling kind of down because there was something we would like to have gotten the children but couldnt.

You go out to the mailbox* and there it is. Its really

unexplainable.

Each. year, Bogert said, the card with the gift is signed, With love, from people who care.

Has 19 Trains To Play With

WASHINGTON (AP) -What is President Reagan doing with 19 electric trains that were d(mated to the White House?

Playing with them. Im sure, says presidential spokesman Larry Speakes.

The toy sets began arriving after Reagan remarked on Dec. 11 that he didnt have a train but wanted one.

Most of the trains came from individuals, but one was sent by the state of Florida and two locomotives were sent by the Association of American Railroads, said Robin Gray, a press office aide.

Five trains arrived at the White House on Wednesday

against Mr. S.T. Nicholas of Gnome, Alaska, on Thursday, the states last working day before Christmas.

Attorney General Dave-i Frohnmayer, in a whimsical holiday news release, said he had filed a counterclaim against I. M. Grinch for contriving a shortage of good will. His action may also constitute the crime of malicious rottenness.

In a letter addressed to Nicholas, Frohnmayer, added, I have instructed our Consumer Protection Section to pay close attention to enforcement of chimney cleaning regulations for the remainder of 1982.

According to Frohnmayer, Grinch alleged that Nicholas conspired with parents to cause confusion or misunderstanding as to the source, sponsorship and approval of goods and services. He also alleged that Nicholas consulted with parents on gifts for children and fumidied them with privileged consumer information.

Frohnmayer said Grinch

further accused Nicholas of inciting parents to whisper among themselves and hide presents during the month of December, and of en^ging in conspiratorial practices by compiling a list and checking it twice.

Grinch alleged that Nicholas, by discriminating against naughty people, violated a state law requiring that all consumers be treated on proportionally equal terms.

Further, that by linking the receipt of gifts to good behavior, Nicholas violated Oregon law which prohibits making product sales condl-' tional upon other behavior. ^

We find that you have participated in Monopoly, but only in the delivery of the games to children, a non-citable practice, Frohnmayers letter said.

We have concluded that the allegations are unfounded and see no reason to convene a special grand jury, Frohnmayer wrote Nicholas.

re sen^ng out our npte of holWay wishes with thanks to all our friends.

The Bad News: Many To Die In Holiday Traffic

ByJAMEWELBORN : Reflector Staff Writer It is ,estimated that 31 p^ns will l(e their lives and 1,600 pe(H)le will be injured in motor vehicle accidents in North Carolina over the upcoming Christmas and New Years holidays, according to the N.C. State Motor Club.

Last year 12 were killed and 841 were injured over Christmas holidays, while four were killed and 811 injured over the New Years holiday.

The Christmas and New Years holiday period is a particularly appropriate time to focus our attention on the critical problem of di;jnking drivers," motor club president John G. frazier III said. Tradi

tionally a time of family reunions, friendly gatherings and good cheer, the holiday season is also, tragicaUy, a time of large increases in the number of serious injuries and fatalities on the roadways.

Approximately 73 percmt of all U.S. drivers drink and most of them drive occasionally after drinking," according to Frazier.

Porter Shaw, director of the Pitt County Mental Health Center Substance Abuse Program, said, Only one out of 100 drunk drivers get caught. On a given weekend night, (me out of 10 drivers has been drinking." This number increases during the holiday season.

According to a' report by

Lebanese On

Israel Tours

By KATE DORIAN : Associated Prea Writer RAS NAQOURA, Lebanon (AP) - More than 13,000 Lebanese civilians have visited Israel since last June, tjje month Israeli forces laUhched their war against I^estinian guerrillas in Lel^anon.

.The Lebanese are being iijvited by the Israeli government which hopes the visits will encourage normal diplomatic relations with Lfbanon.

'For countries to live in peace together, they have to trade together first, said Lt. Col. Aron Gonen, spokesman for the Israeli defense forces in the southern Lebanese port city of Sidon, the Israeli armys regional headquarters.

Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan of Lebanon warned early in November, however, that Lebanese who collaborate with Israel would be stripped of their citizenship.

The warning has apparently gone unheeded. Gonen said Lebanese traders have been buying an average of $20 million worth of g()ods from Israelis a month since the Israeli border was declared open to Lebanese citizens.

/We are trying to ease facilities, Gonen said. We believe that we are strengthening relations between the people of Lebanon and the people of Israel. We are hoping that the people of sQUth Lebanon will force the hand of the Lebanese government.

The Israeli government has declared its desire to sigh a peace treaty with Lebanon and normalize relations, but the Lebanese government has rejected the offer while Israeli troops occupy Lebanon and insists such a peace treaty should be signed in the context of an overall Middle East peace settlement.

.The motives of Lebanese traveling to Israel vary. Some are curious to see what lies across the border that has been inaccessible to 4bem since 1948 when the itate of Isi^ael was Jsstablished. Others go to see rffamily or friends and a few Aave romantic motivations.

It was wonderful and I ^ant to go back for Christmas this time with ^mething to sell, said Sira, n middle-aged Lebanese of Palestinian origin who com-^lained of the high prices in asrael. She did not wish to be identified further.

A Lebarmse woman in-^eniriewed on the Arabic ^rvice of Israeli television ^id she had fallen in love with an Israeli soldier in iebanon and was now mar-iVied and on her way to join ^im in Israel. Another said jrtie was accompanying her -sick husband who was un-IJdergoing treatment in Israel. So far, the tourist trade has '.been one-sided and the trade 'Jbalance sharply favors israel. Israeli tourists are inot allowed to visit Lebanon ^ly, althou^ busloads of ^ided tours are seen almost Jjoaily in Israeli-occupied south Lebanon. Lebanese (Intrepreneurs have been 'seUing one of their countrys few surplus commodities junked cars to Israelis ,who recycle the metal. iU -

complain that the Lebanese market is being flooded with Israeli goods such as soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and candy which sell at prices lower or equal to those of locally made goods. The Lebanese officials say Israel is subsidizing the products and selling them cheap to encourage Lebanese trade.

Lebanons problem with all this is that it cant tax the goods because they originate in a country still officially considered enemy territory and even if it did try to tax them it has little control outside Beirut to do so.

Gonen dismissed claims that Israel was seeking to ..damage the aiready ailing Lebanese economy.

Do you really think we can do that? he said. The Lebanese are the best traders I have met and if they buy anything from Israel its because they get it cheaper.

Gonen added that Israel began encouraging trade in southern Lebanon when the Israeli invasion made contact between south Lebanon and Beirut difficult.

Convoys of Lebanese trucks are seen daily carrying fruits, vegetables and other assorted Israeli goods to Lebanon from the border. Lebanese taxi drivers congregate daily at Ras Na-qoura, a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, to take Lebanese travelers to and from the Israeli border, a half-mile away.

An Israeli Interior Ministry employee at Israeli regional headquarters in Sidon, 25 miles south of Beirut, sits in an office with posters of Israeli tourist sites pasted on the walls and issues blue and white passes to Lebanese travelers for a fee of 15 Lebanese pounds (nearly $5 at current exchange rates). Not many questions are asked and passports are not stamped.

Man Hit By Up To 20 Vehicles

HOUSTON (AP) - A man was killed and partially dismembered when he was hit by up to 20 vehicles, including an 18-wheel truck, as he attempted to walk across a freeway. Police said parts of his body were scattered a quarter mile along the roadway.

Police investigator D.G. Clifton said identification found at the scene Wednesday night indicated the man may have been 52 years old and from Mexico. The name was not released.

Probably most people didnt even know they had hit him, said Qifton.

Several cars stopped after the incident, but only one driver and one witness stayed to give statements to police, officers said.

f^overnment officials

TIBETANS RETUPN PEKING (AP) - About 1,000 Tibetans living abroad returned to visit rdatives or settle in Tibet in the first 11 months of the year, the Xinhua news agency says.

the N.C. Highway Patrol Traffic Safety Information Unit, it is illegal to drive in North Carolina under the influence of alcohol There is no alc(^l level specified in the law; a person can be convicted of driving under the influence if his driving is impaired by alcohol, whether he blows a .05 or a .25 on the Breathalyzer.

The most recent DUI laws in North Carolina, however, are based on the figure .10, the r^rt says. If a person blows a .10 on the Breathalyzer, he is automatically ^Ity of driving under the influence. 'The .10 percent means that there is about one drop of alcohol for every 1,000 drops of blood in a persons bloodstream.

In order to blow this reading on the Breathalyzer, Deborah Wells, court counselor in the DUI program at the Pitt County Mental Health Center, said that the average-sized person must drink 3-5 drinks over a period of about an hour. But she warned that there are noticible impairments to motor coordination when-alcohol is consumed at a lower level.

Alcohol, even in minor amounts, impairs ability to

jiKlge distance and distinguish colors, said Ms. Wells. Speech is slurred, reflexes are dulled, and hearing is impaired and distorted so you cant hear train whistles or car horns.

She said that vision is greatly inq)aired by drinking alcc^ol. Eyes will not focus well; douUe vision (seeing two images) and tunnel vision, (which makes the driver see only straight ahead and not to either side or the inability of the individual to move his eyes) may occur. Another result of drinking is glare recovery; the driver may be blinded for 10-15 seconds by the headlights of passing vehicle because the pupils of the eye dont react welltoli^t.

Impairment to judgment is probably the reason they (people who have been drinking) drive in the first place, Ms. Wells said.

The drinker should try to be aware of the amount of alcohol taken in, she said. One measured drink in one hour is a good rule of thumb. The body will dis-purse about 1 ounce of alcohol in one hour.

Alcohol will affect people differently, the report by the Highway Patrol Traffic Safe

ty Information Unit, said. The effect alc(^l will have on the person drinking will vary deinding on the size of the individual, how much food is in his stomach when he drinks, and how fast he drinks. Alcohol will also affect a person differently from day to day depending on his mood.

The Pitt County Medical Society advises that the day after a party can be as hazardous as the time period immediately following heavy drinking. As long as alcohol is in your system, your judgment will be affected and your coordination will be reduced. Recovering from a hangover takes time and until the symptoms of the hangover are relieved, you shodd postpcine activities such as driving or using complex equipment, according to Frank OBrien Jr., president of the Pitt County Medical Society.

Drinkers should be aware of the danger they place on themselves and others when they drive after drinking. People just dont think it can happen to them. Theyi think that its the guy that lives down the street that will get arrested for driving under the influence, Shaw

said. Most people just drink and drive until they get cau^t. Then they learn the hard way.

Before going out this holiday season, Ms. Wells suggested, the holiday drinker who is going to drive after the party should plan on getting cau^t (for driving under the influence). She said, You must have at least $1,000 of available cash; perhaps this will cover lawyers fees and court costs. It is a hardship for the entire family when someone is caught driving under the influence. For a minimum wage worker, a DUI costs two months wages at least.

Plan on losing insurance or having to pay four times as much for it. Plan on losing your job and not being able to find another one.

Plan on having a fatal accident. In a single-car accident, a drunken driver has a 65 percent chance of killing himself; in a multiple-car accident, there is a 65 percent chance of killing someone else.

People feel they cant do anything about it (drinking and driving), but they can, Shaw said.

According to Highway Patrol Sgt. Glenn Swanson,

there is a program sponsored by the Governors Highway Safety Program called Report All Drinking Drivers. If a driver suspects another motorist of driving under the influence, he can call any law enforcement agency or dial the operator, which will dispatch a patrolman to the scene, Swanson said.

The caller should try to get the cars license plate number, but a caller can report the direction the car is heading or just give a description of the vehicle The number in Pitt County to call for 24-hour response to RADD is 752-3312.

Everyone must be very defensive in driving, especially during the holiday season, Shaw said. I am a firm believer in seat belts

and child restraints. Most law officials who investigate accidents say they have never seen an accident in which seatbelts hurt someone. It is a simple procedure and might saveyou from being hiirled out of the car.

During the holiday season when so many drivers have been drinking, it becomes especially important to be on the lookout for other drivers, Ms. Wells said.

Everybody is responsible for everyone else, Ms. Wells said. You dont have to drink in order to have a good time. If you do, be prepared to pay the price. A DUI costs several thousand dollars in the long run. You risk getting killed if you drive after drinking. Its more reasonable to call a cab.

NEW YORK (AP) - U.S. Roman Catholicisms vicar to the military forces says the churchs bishops and most members are grateful for the sacrifices you are making to defend our nation and our allies against unjust aggression.

Cardinal Terence Cooke, in an annual Christmas letter, said such assurance, jn other years, may welt have been presumed but this year is necessary.

He reviewed the bishops . work on a projected pastoral letter opposing some aspects of U.S. nuclear policy and urged prayers for a committee now revising the document.

RecordDemand For Scriptures

NEW YORK (AP) - Demand for Scriptures at Christmas has reached an all-time high this year, the American Bible Society says.

Its general secretary, Alice Ball, says orders for Scriptures and Scritpure portions have passed the 45 million mark and are expected to hit 50 million, 14 million more than last years peak.

ByGEORGE W. CORNELL AP Religion Writer

Santa Claus, that jolly, bewhiskered old philanthropist to the young, says hes disgusted with all the commercialism that clutters up Christmas, but that he cant stop it.

It makes my temperature go to about 120, he said in a fancied interview in his workshop home at the North Pole before making his world-girdling rounds Friday night.

Puffing on his pipe, he sighed sadly about the flood of pictures of him used to whomp up advertising pitches and the phony guys that dress up like me to hawk their stuff on the tube. Its repulsive.

But Im not responsible for how much they corrupt my image, he said in conjectured comments to U. S. Catholic, a monthly magazine published in Chicago by the Claretian Fathers and Brothers.

Dont try to pin the materialism of your nation on me, he said. Fortunately there are still millions kids mostly who keep my image clean.

He said they know I stand for giving selflessly and think of me as a person who gives bounteously and without asking for anything in return except affection. Ask if that impression wasnt a bit god-like, he stroked the side of his red nose, grinning. Exactly. Precisely. Think about kids. They need something to hang on to, a face, a body, a someone.

They cant grasp abstractions and vague notions of God. So they look to me. Many of them think of God as looking like Santa benevolent, giving, trustworthy ... and loving without exception.

Santa noted that all his many names have religious implications, that Santa Claus derives from a slurring of St. Nicholas, that Father

Christmas has priestly connotations, that Kris Single stems from a German expression meaning Christ-child.

Whatever people call me, its a compliment, he laughed, shaking like jelly.

Magazine staffer James Brieg says he asked if it wasnt dangerous for children to think of God as being like you because when they found out about him, they might think of God as a phony.

Patting his ample girth, Santa said it was up to parents to replace me with something more as children get older. But some parents like to get off easy, he added.

They like to use me and my friend, the Easter Bunny, to get out of talking about religion and God with their youngsters. And when they stop using us, they leave a vacuum... But if parents step in, that vacuum can be filled with ... a new idea of God, one that suits the kids age.

Asked if he didnt tend to

Disturbed By Armed Invasion

NEW YORK (AP) -Pleading let this madness stop, leaders of the Episcopal Church have protested an invasion by an armed group on a church-supported cooperative farm in El Salvador where seven persons were killed execution style.

"The assassinations left behind widows, 24 orphans, a community in shock and fear and another chapter in the .decimation of civilization in El Salvador, said a statement by Episcopal Presiding Bishop John M. Allin and others. About 520 people fled the village, some taking refuge in Episcopal offices in San Salvador.

overshadow the Christ child, the good-natured old fellow chuckled and replied:

Not at all... The child in the manger is the center of Christmas. All else is secondary. Think of it. The Christ child is Gods gift to the world, freely given. Like something in your stocking you didnt expect, something which turns out to be worth more than anythihg else you got.

What Jesus was - God made human - 1 am in only a very vague way. 1 am a dim echo of that moment in history when God took upon himself the form of a slave. Thats what 1 stand for. 1 am Gods unending goodness incarnated in man.

A rather strange man at that. 1 am overweight and old. Thats important. God doesnt demand that we be perfect tens to love one another.

A final question: How do you fit into those chimneys

ive never told before, but Ill tell you.., Theres one magic word that makes me able to do all that 1 do - to fly around the world in one night, to bring gifts to every child, to navigate a sleigh pulled by reindeer, and to squeeze down those chimneys.

The magic word is belief. The kids believe 1 can do it, and sol do it.

Trucking Industry Wins Right To Bigger, Heavier Vehicles

ByJIMDRINKARD

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -The trucking industry has won long-sought permission to run bigger and heavier trucks on the nations main highways, albeit at the cost of sharply higher use and excise taxes.

However, the compromise "gas t&x bill finally cleared by Congress on Thursday does not put as large a tax increase on the trucks as the Reagan administration had, sou^t.

The main portion of the bill places a nickel-a-gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax now 4 cents a gallon -to pay for repairs to the nations roads and bridges and for mass transit improvements.

Under the part applying specifically to trucks, operators will be able to run 80,000-pound vehicles through Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas, which now impose lower weight ceilings, and to operate

Novelty Ideas In Gift Catalog

ByC.W.MIRANKER Associated Press Writer MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) - For the person who has everything - and the city that doesnt the Community Gift Catalog may suggest the perfect Christmas treat, like a half-hour in a jail cell for $25.

The glossy booklet features 32 pages of tax-deductible gifts residents can make to this community south of San Francisco in the name of someone whos been naughty or nice.

They run the gamut from sensible to silly, and range in price from $5 for a learning aid to $95,000, which will buy the library a computer. A $25 donation, for example, can buy:

-A lunch date with the city official of your choice.

Usually favored by frustrated residents who want to give somebody a piece of their mind, this item got a novel twist from resident Ed Parr. He donated $25 and picked up the breakfast tab so he could eat with a council member his wife Kay.

A park tree. Most of the .gifts help finance Menlo Parks recreation and parks services, and trees are the best sellers, with 25 donations this year.

A half-hour in a jSil cell, complete with souvenir photograph.

Popular as a joke gift, it was once prescribed by a psychiatrist for a patient wlio needed to absoive some guilt fedings. according to Mary K. Leydon, Menio Parks director of community resources.

Park benches donated in someone's memory also are popular at $175, $150 bulletproof vests for policemen attracted three donations and several people contributed $100 to run the community swimming pod for a day. Big spenders in search of a tax deduction mi^t consider $3;500 for 14 outdoor concerts in Menlo ' Parks summw Brown Bag Art series.'

The catalog has generated . as much as $10,000 a year since it began 21^ years ago, about 3 percent of the citys contribution to parks and recreatiiMi.

It has also provided an intangibie benefit for this city of 27,000 people, Ms. Leydon said. Its made people aware of how much these services cost.

Without injuring peoples feelings, weve gotten across the idea that cities need some help,she said.

Menlo Park is one of several communities that have turned to gift catalogs to raise funds after state and federal aid nosedived. California cities were hit hard by the tax-slashing Proposition 13.

Venturas parks and recreation catalog has attracted about $25,000 in years. In Pasadena and Rolling Hills Estates, independent, nonprofit groups solicit tax-deductible donations for parks and recreation.

After Petaluma budgeted ^1.3 million to create the 31-acre Lucchesi Park, it issued a gift catalog for the amenities, explained recreation director Jim R. Raymond.

Since 1980, the catalog has done $60,000 worth of business, including 1,500 large-mouth bass for the five-acre lake, two dozen ducks at $5.50 each, 100 trees, 44 picnic tabies, sue park benches and a barbecue pit. The Petaluma Lions just donated $2,500 for a fitness course.

double-trailer rigs in the 14 states, mostly in the Northeast, which now prohibit them.

Another item on the industrys wish list - a 102-inch width standard - already has been signed into law as part of an appropriations bill, and will require 46 states to change their standards.

States have little choice in the matter. They must go along with the new uniform wei^t and size limits or risk losing all federal highway aid money that will be greatly increased under the nickel-a-galion gas tax legislation. The bigger trucks will be rolling not only on interstate highways, but also on other primary roads which the Transportation Department deems adequate to handle them safely.

1 expect a great outcry of futile protest, and then every state will go ahead and comply, said Ralph Craft, transportation staff director forlthe National Conference of State Legislatures. Nobody wants to give up their federal highway money, especially since its collected from their motorists

The conference of legislatures had opposed opposed federal pre-emption of state size and weight laws, in part because the bill was rushed through with little chance for comment. Nobody even saw the bill before the second day of the lame-duck session, ^aid Craft.

Truckers also had strongly opposed early versions of the bill despite the concessions on size and weight because of the size of the excise tax increases. The original administration proposal called for the maximum annual use fees for heavy trucks to jump almost immediately from about $240 to $2,700.

But that figure was trimmed by Congress, with the finai version a graduated Increase starting with a $1,600 maximum use fee in 1984, rising to $1,900 by 1988.

The American Trucking Associations estimate that he higher levies on trucks will bring the government an additional $1.6 billion in the first year.

The new size and weight ^ limits would go into effect sometime in 1983, months before the new tax revenue - designed to pay for the increased damage big trucks do to the highways - begins to roll in.

Even with the reduction from what the administration originally proposed, an industry spokesman said the tax is excessive.

The trucking industry is appalled that Congress would take such action at a time when the industry is suffering from the twin blows of a depressed economy and the instability caused by deregulation, said Bennett C. Whitlock Jr., the trucking associations president.

Unfortunately, some companies and some independent owner-operators will go out of business because of the approval of Congress of the administrations program designed to create jobs in one se^ent of the economy while disregarding the effects upon other segments, Whitlock said in a statement.

His organization argued that uniform national standards would enhance - productivity and save fuel by eliminating barriers such as the one on heavy trucks in the Midwest.

Groups like the American Automobile Association and congressmen from some of the affected states disagreed, saying bigger trucks mean more danger to automobiles and more damage to roads.

The bill has been heavily oversold as a jobs-creating measure and heavily undersold on the damage to the highways of states like Missouri, said Sen. Thomas Ea^eton, D-Mo.

The 14 states being forced to accept longer trucks are Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconisin.

By DAVID ESPO

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -The 97th Congress took its last breath Thursday as the Senate crudied one more conservative filibuster and sent President Reagan legislation raising the federal gasoline tax by 5 cents a gallon.

The final roll caU was 54-33 as senators, more than ready to go home for the holidays, heeded the admonition of Sen. George Mitchell, D-Maine: In the name of God, lets vote and go. Adjournment came a short while later, two days after the House had passed the compromise gas tax bill and called it quits.

The bill would provide $5.5 billion a year for a program of highway and mass transit improvements, and sponsors said 170,000 construction jobs would be created.

Reagan, speaking at a nationally televised news conference a short while after final passage of the measure, said, 1 applaud the Congress lor their bipartisan support.

Reading a prepared statement, he did not mention that what he termed the highway improvement revenue legislation would in-crease the gasoline tax, but did stress a provision that will provide up to six weeks of additional j(*less benefits

for the unemployed.

During a brief ques-tion-aiid-answer session that < followed, he declined several opportunities to criticize the conservatives whose delaying tactics tied upan increasingly angry Senate for two weeks over the tax measure, including North Carolina Sens. Jesse Helms and J(^ East.

Two other Republicans, Sens. Don Nickles of Oklahoma and Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire had long since given up the struggle. Humphrey, in fact, missed the final votes, and aides said he was on his way to Korea for a Christmas visist with American forces.

We lost. We did the best we could, Helms said afterwards. I guess I felt I was in a position of having no one with me exc^t the people.

TTiere was little doubt about the outcome, with the White House offering military planes to fly some senators back to Washington for the vote and the Department of Transportation assisting other lawmakers by making reservations for them on heavily traveled commercial flights.

Defense Department officials said Republican Sens. Barry Goldwater of Arizona! Harrison Schmitt of New Mexico; Mark Hatfield of

Met Conditions And Still Wait

By ALFONSO ANZUETO Associated Press Writer GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - The kidnapped daughter of the Honduran president could be released as early as today because of publication of her leftist captors anti-American manifesto in Mexican and Central American newspapers.

Publication of the statement, which appeared Wednesday, was the only announc^ condition for the release of Dr. Judith Xiomara Suazo Estrada, a Guatemalan citizen who was seized as she was leaving a Guatemala City clinic Dec. 14.

Her abductors, members of a previously unknown leftist guerrilla group, had said she would be released within 48 hours after their statement was published in certain newspapers in Latin America.

The Guatemalan government agreed to publication of the statement, and it appeared in all three of the capitals morning newspapers Wednesday. Government permission was necessary because of a state of siege proclaimed in July by Gen. Efrain Rios Montt, the military president.

Tlie statement also appeared in the Mexico City newspapers Excelsior and Uno Mas Uno, all four Honduran newspapers. Prensa , Grafica in El Salvador and Barricada, the newspaper of Nicaraguas leftist San-dinista government.

The largest newspaper in Honduras, La Prensa, ran a front-page editorial headlined Criminal Extortion. It denounced the statement as something poisoned, full of hate.

The manifesto singled out Honduras, calling it% Imperialist headqtttf$^ for the invasion of f^aragua. It claimed Honduras was a base for invasions of Nicaragua and El Salvador and for smashing revolutions in Guatemala and the Caribbean.

Oregon,- John Heinz of Pennsylvania and Democrat Lawton Oiiles were flown to Washington aboard Air Force planes.

Chiles, Heinz and Goldwater were flown home, as were Sens. Paula Hawkins, R-Fla., Mack Mattingly, R-Ga., and Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, officials said.

But if the outcome seemed known in advance, the atmosphere was charged nonetheless as sev,eral senators used the final hour of debate to express anger at Helms and East.

Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz., said the Senate had been tyrannized and im-mbolized by a handful of men.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., suggested that Republicans in the new 98th Congress consider stripping Helms of his Agriculture Committee chairmanship.

Replied Helms, who is expected to seek re-election in 1984; I appreciate every word Sen. Kennedy said. His statement may have increased my popularity in North Carolina by 10 to 12 points.

The vote to choke off the filibuster was 81-5, and aides said it was more a reaction against Helms and East than an indication of support for the bill.

The final roll call that followed capped a two-week struggle that started out as a debate over a proposed gasoline tax increase and wound up almost a test of wills between Helms and East on the one hand, and Baker -strongly supported by Democratson the other.

The bill itself would increase the gas tax from the current 4 cents to 9, although gasohol would be taxed at 5 cents a gallon.

'The money would provide

an estimated $5.5 billion a year for highway and mass transit improvement, and supporters said it would create an estimated 170,000 construction jobs.

Helms, East and other opponents said the measure would destroy jobs instead of creating them by imposing a tax increase in a recession, and some liberals who opposed the bill also complained the tax increase was regressive.

The proceeds of the increased tax would go 80 percent toward highway construction and the remainder for mass transit. A provision was attached giy- . ing manufacturers of Ameri- , can-made steel, cement and other products preferential treatment in the awarding of construction contr:r

The measure also revised existing excise taxes to require the owners of laerge trucks to pay stiffer levies and to lessen the burden on other motorists.

The most controversial change increases the heavy use tax on rigs of 80,(X)0 pounds or more to $1,600 a year beginning July, 1984, rising to $1,900 a year on July 1, 1988. The current maximum tax is $240 a year.

The federal tax on automobile tires was re-. pealed, and the levy was increased on heavier truck tires.

In exchange for the heavier taxes, truckers would receive permission to operate bigger and heavier trucks throughout the country.

The provision dealing with jobless benefits will extend unemployment benefits for eligible workers by at least two weeks, and up to six weeks in states where joblessness is highest. That would provide a maximum of 55 weeL of benefits.

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 24, 1982Rose, AG, NP Pace All-Area Team

Two seniors who made the team last year, two All-State selections and a Shrine Bowl selection highlight the 1982 Daily Reflector All-Area footb^ team, announced today.

Of those mentioned above, one fills in at all three levels, perhaps the most recruited player around, Roanoke High SchMls Donnie Wallace. The H," 245-pound offensive lineman, is a repeater from the 1981 team, made the Associated Press all-State list, and was chosen to participate in the Shrine Bowl earlier this month.

While he hasnt made up his mind as to where he wilt be going, Wallace is being highly recruited by schools from across the country.

Its hard to say enough about him, Coach Nolan Respess said. "He has the speed, quickness and intelligence to be one of the finest players Ive ever been associated with. Im just so^ that he didnt have a winning team to wind up his high school career with.

Besides playing in the offensive line, Wallace was also a standout on defense, and could play on either side of the ball in the collegiate ranks.

Also making the All-State team with Wallace was Rose High Schools Frankie Carr, a 6-1, 187-pound defensive lineman.

Hes a super player, Coach Ronald Vincent said of him. Hes an outstanding pass rusher with tremendous quickness and aggression. He wants to make every tackle. Carr was credited with an amazing 35 quarterback sacks during the 1982 campaign.

- The other returning player from the 1982 team is Ayden-Griftons Chuck Smithwick, the W), 190-pound senior who leads the defensive line. And while coach Dixon Sauls says Smithwick is a definite college pro^t, he appears to be getting overlooked by the scouts.

Hes very aggressive, our team leader on defense, Sauls said. He has excellent balance and quickness. He was our team leader in tackles with about 13 a game.

North Pitts B.T. Chappell was chosen by the Reflector staff as Coach of the Year. Chappells North Pitt team turned in the best season ever

- and only the second winning season for a Panther squad. He took the Panthers to a 6-2-2 season, losing only to Roanoke

in the first game of the season,-and to Ayden-Grifton by a single point. The Panthers finished in a tie with Ayden-.Grifton and Southwest Edgecombe for the ECC title.

In terms of team membership, Big East runner-up Rose High School led the field with six players picked, while Ayden-Grifton, the Eastern Carolina Conference champ, was next with five. North Pitt, which tied with Ayden-Grifton for the ECC title, but was left behind in the post-season play, had four, while Farmville Central had three, Jamesville had two and Conley had (Hie.

The offensive backfield is led by Ayden-Grifton quarterback Joey Kennedy, a 6-1,180-pound senior. Kennedy hit on 76 of 159 passes for 923 yardss, 12 touchdowns and two interceptions during the regular season. He went 136 attempts before he was, at last, intercepted.

The three running backs are Dennis Bradley, 6-2,190-pound senior from North Pitt; Jarvis Koonce, 6-0, 200-pound senior from Ayden-Grifton; and Matthew Moore, 5-8,135-pound junior from Jamesville.

Bradley rushed 219 times for 1,030 yards playing for the first time as a running back. He scored 16 touchdowns and led the ECC in rushing and scoring. Koonce rushed 130 times for 880 yards and nine touchdowns during the regular season, leaading Ayden-Grifton. Moore sparked Jamesville with 1,009 yards and nine touchdowns on 210 carries. He also had eight two-point conversions.

The receivers are David Biggs, a 5-10, 180-pound freshman from Jamesville, and Edward Frazier, a 5-10, 164-pound senior from Rose. Biggs, a rarity in making the team as a freshman, cau^t 42 passes for 688 yards and seven touchdowns, His receptions, yards and TDs were all three Tobacco Belt standards. Frazier, probably the fastest man on the team, caught 24 passes for 326 yards and two touchdowns. He proved his speed by carrying the ball 19 times for 165 yards on reverses. He was also an outstanding returner of kicks.

Joining Wallace in the offensive line are Gary Adams,

5-6, 170-pound senior from Conley; Kevin Craft, 6-2, 216-pound senior from Ayden-Grifton; Gregg Davis,

6-2, 186-pound senior from Rose, and Bill Johnson, 6-1, 180-pound senior from Rose.

The Reflector staff did not

choose a placekicker this year, feeling that there was not an outstanding performer in the area.

Joining Carr in the defensive line are three strong players, Eric Faison, a 5-10, 195-pound senior from Farmville Central; and Rodney Lawrence, a 5-8, 160-pound senior and Harolcl Northern, a 5-11, 215-pound senior, both of North Pitt.

Faison had 66 tackles from his nose guard slot, while Lawrence blocked four punts and had 68 tackles in nine games. Northern recovered six fumbles, had an interception and blocked one punt. 'Three of his fumble returns netted 150 yards.

The linebackers include Craig Dupree, a 5-10, 169-pound senior from Rose; James Moore, a 6-1,190-pound senior from Farmville Central; and Bemie Williford, a 6-3, 228-pounder from Roanoke - along with Smithwick.

Dupree was something of an heroic performer, playing the final six games of the season with a broken jaw. Moore was credited with 92 tackles, while Williford might be the biggest sleeper of them all.

The Roanoke star played in the shadow of Wallace, which may not have hurt at all. He already has an appointment to West Point, but is also being recruited by Navy and Clemson, among others.

The backfield on defense is composed of Gentry Sneed, a

5-9,155-pound sophomore from North Pitt, Roswell Streeter, a

6-0, 165-pound }unior from Rose, and Malcolm Worthington, a 5-11,171-pound sophmore from Ayden-Grifton. Sneed led the ECC with six interceptions this year. Streeter, rated as the best defensive back on the Rose team, was an allconference selection. Worthington, who doubled in the offensive backfield, had three interceptions on the seas()n.

The punter is Farmville Centrals Allan Wooten, a 6-3, 170-pound senior. Wooten averaged 40.4 yards a kick for 44 kicks this year, leading the ECC in that department.

All told, there are 18 seniors on the 23 player squad -dominate as usual. There are two juniors, and surprisingly two sophomore and one freshman.

Their challenge is to be repeaters in 1983.

All-Area Offense

Selected to the 1982 Daily Reflector All-Area Offensive Unit are, from bottom to top on stairs: Bill Johnson, Rose; Joey Kennedy, Ayden-Grifton; Gregg Davis, Rose; Matthew Moore, Jamesville; Kevin Craft, Ayden-Grifton; Dennis Bradley,

Ghost Of Past Haunts Stenerud

MILWAUKEE (AP) - The Ghost of Christmas Past continues to haunt Jan Stenerud.

But unlike the ghost that visited Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, Steneruds ghost is far from fictional.

Stenerud, now the Green Bay Packers kicker, missed three field goals for the Kansas City Chiefs in their epic 27-24 double-overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Day 1971, in the National Football League playoffs.

The game, which Miami

kicker Garo Yepremian decided with a 37-yard field goal after 22 minutes, 40 seconds of overtime, is the longest in NFL history and considered by many to be the best ever played.

But to Stenerud, one of the best kickers in football, it was a nightmare.

Ill talk about anything but that; its the only subject I wont talk about, Stenerud, whom the Packers acquired at the end of 1980, said in a recent telephone interview.

Its almost like someone died in the family and people

keep bringing it up. Im tired of it. Ive been nice about it for 10 years and now I just cant talkaboutit.

'The less I think about it, the better. I dont even want it on my mind at all with the Packers in the position were in now, he said.

The Packers, who were denied a playoff spot last year when the New York Jets beat them in the last regular-season game, are 4-2-1 this strike-shortened season and almost assured of a playoff berth.

Stenerud, 39, calls the Christmas 71 game the lowest point of his career - one that has produced many points.

Hes the third-leading scorer

in NFL history with 1,394 points and hasconnected on 315 of 481 field goal attempts in a 16-year career that is still going strong.

The '71 game pitted the Don Shulas young Dolphins, who won the American Football Conference East Division title, against Hank Strams Chiefs, the AFC West champions. Kansas City was a sound, veteran team which won Super Bowl IV two years earlier.

The favored Chiefs appeared to be ready to assert themselves from the opening kickoff, as Steneruds 24-yard field goal helped stake them to a 10-0 lead. But the Dolphins came back to tie it at 10 before Stenerud missed a 24-yarder

COACH OF THE YEAR

B.'T Chappell North Pitt

just before halftime.

The Norwegian-born kicker has said the play was supposed to be a fake kick, but a missed audible made it necessary for an off-balance Stenerud to attempt the field goal.

With 1:26 left in the game and the score tied 24-24, Yepremian made the first of his two key plays. He kicked off to the Chiefs Ed Podolak after the tying touchdown. Podolak took the kickoff and broke through Miamis waU for what seemed sure to be the game-winning touchdown.

But Yepremian stepped in Podolaks path and when the runner tried to avoid, the kicker, Miamis Curtis Johnson tackled Podolak from behind. The Chiefs still figured to win the game, however. because Podolaks 78-yard return easily put the ball within Steneruds range.

. But Stenerud missed the ^31-yard attempt by inches and the game went into overtime.

He had one last chance to redeem himself and the Chiefs. On the opening kickoff, Kansas City marched downfield and positioned Stenerud for a 42-yard field goal. But Miamis superb middle linebacker, Nick Buoniconti, blocked the kick and the contest continued.

With 8:40 gone in the second overtime. Yepremian booted his kiqk to win the game.

Shulas Dolphins, on their way to becoming a modem sports dynasty, went on to play their first of three consecutive Super Bowls. The Chiefs, who fired Stram in 1974, have not made the playoffs since.

Im willing to take the good and the bad when it comes to kicking and football, Stenerud said. You know thats the way it is so you better be prepared for it.

After the 71 game Stenerud said, I hope it wont ruin me.

It didnt.

He had a fine career with the Chiefs before he was released at the start of the 1980 season. Since joining Um Packers he has been successful on 36 of his 45 field goal attempts.

Stenerud was the best kicker in the NFL last season, mal^g 22 of 24 attempts for a league-record .917 percentage. His 50 points place him second in scoring among NFC kickers

M-TheDailyReflector,Greenville,N.C.-F'riday, December 24.1982 Farmville Central Hope To Be An Eastern Carolina Contender

By WOODY PEELE Reflector Sports Editor

Until Tuesday night in the Pitt Holiday Tournament. Farmville Central Coach Mike Terrell was pretty pleased with his Jaguars play. Tuesday night, however, he had to take another opinion.

The Jaguars were throttled by D.H. Conley, 6645, and it could have been much worse.

Until Tuesday, I thought we were playing good basketball, Terrell said. But we sure didnt play well then.

The Jaguars record is only

5-4 on the year, following a 52-49 victory over Rose Wed-a nesday, but thats somewhat deceptive. Two of the losses came against 4-A clubs. Eastern Wayne and Beddingfield. in closely contested games, 45-41. and 43-40, respectively. The Jags also lost at Conley, 47-44, in another that could have gone either way.

Our schedule is the toughest weve ever had. But up until Tuesday night. Ive been pleased with the way weve played, Terrell said.

The Jaguars return three starters from last years team, 6-0 senior guard Gary Hobgood, 6-3 senior center .Andrew Edwards and 5-11 senior guard Bobby Car-raway. Terrence Pettway, a

6-3 senior forward, was a starter until midseason last year when he was dropped from the team for disciplinary reasons.

Two other lettermen return, .5-10 senior forward Tony Hargrove and 6-0 senior forward Reggie Willoughby.

Currently, however, only Hobgood, Edwards, Pettway and Hargrove are starting. Theyve been joined by 6-1 senior guard Reggie Gorham, up from the jlinior varsity. He took over for Carraway when the latter was., sidelined with the flu, and has held that position.

Other newcomers include

6-3 senior center Barry Boone, 5-10 senior guard Ken Vines, 5-7 junior guard Donald Tyson. 5-7 junior guard Troy Hopkins and 5-8 junior guard James Newton.

high school level. Both our offense and our defense have been strong most of the season so far. Weve been solid in both areas, although the defense is ahead of the offense, as is usual this time of year.

With nine of the 12 players seniors, Terrell admits that experience is one of the teams strong points. Our first seven players (counting Gorham) all have good experience. Theyve played together before, and until Tuesday, had played good basketball together"

Rebounding, however, hasnt been that good. Weve been outrebound^ by a couple of teams. We dont have a lot of height, but I believe that you can outrebound people who are taller with positioning.

The Jaguars shooting has been in the 43 to 44 percent area, and Terrell feels this is adequate for winning on the

In the Eastern Carolina Conference, where the Jaguars finished fifth last season at 11-14 overall, Terrell looks for a four-team race.

N(Mth Pitt is the team to beat. Southwest Edgecombe has most of its pecle back and dMMild be very stnmg. And I think that we have a good chance. Ayden4irifton could turn out to be dark horse, and we really dont know what Southern Nash has yet. The others should be improved.

For tte Jaguars to really be a force, Terrell feels they must become more stable on offense. We have to do some things that we are capable of, Terrell said. Like our guards need to ^rnake things happen, be more aggressive.

1 feel that we definitely will be a strong team before the season is over, he added.

Don't Count On Snow; Look For Chargor Win

By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer

This was supposed to be the last weekend of the National Football Leagues regular season. For the Baltimore Colts, it comes one week too late.

They could have ended it on an upbeat note, a tie. Instead, they face the prospect of becoming a footnote in the record book (first team to allow more than 1,000 yards passing, one game).

Thats assuming Dan Fouts and the rest of the San Diego Chargers take the game seriously, which they will, considering a victory will mean a place in the playoffs.

For a few teams, clinching a berth appears to be little more than a formality. But for a dozen or so others this weekend will make or break their season, or at least keep them alive and kicking one more game.

Last weeks record against

the spread: 3-11. For the season: 46-49.

This weeks picks (home teams in caps):

SAN DIEGO minus m vs. Baltimore: If Fouts chooses to take it easy, Chuck Muncie and James Brooks will run roughshod over the Colts. Baltimore has one hope of keeping it close - a snowy Sunday in San Diego. Dont count on it. Take the Chargers.

PITTSBURGH minus 7 vs. New England: Two shutouts notwithstanding, the Patriots defense isnt iat good. And two dismal performances notwithstanding, Terry Bradshaw isnt that bad. Take theSteelers.

ATLANTA minus vs. Green Bay: If the Packers couldnt blow out Baltimore, they wont have much success against Atlantas tough defense. Take the Falcons.

Washington minus 3 vs. NEW ORLEANS: For a while.

the Saints were on a roll. Now it appears theyre assured of a 16th consecutive non-winning season. Take the Redskins.

DALLAS minus 8 vs. Philadelphia: As recently as last year these meetings were considered classic confrontations. How the mi^ty are fallen. Take the Cowboys.

LOS ANGELES RAIDERS minus V/i vs. Denver: This will put LA within one step of locking up first place in the American Conference. Take the Raiders.

LOS ANGELES RAMS minus 0 vs. Chicago: This will keep LA from locking up last place in the National Conference. Take the Rams.

MIAMI minus 3 vs. Buffalo: Miami Coach Don Shula joins Dallas Tom Landry this year, reaching the regular-season 200-victory plateau for his career. Take the Dolphins.

Despite having four starters back, were still a young club, Coach Hilda Worthington said. Without a senior on the team - and with only one junior ^Worthingtons youthful claim "cannot be denied.

Its just going to take time for us to come around, the coach continued. Right now we could use a win to build our confidence. The closest Farmville has come to that win is a 65-61 loss to 4-A Wilson Beddingfield.

We seem to play good for about a half, them we run into trouble. Little things k^ hurting us. It seems like something happens and the

girls just dont know what to

do.

Its going to take a lot of time, patience and work, but I think we have good people who can play.

Worthington rates the Lady Jaguar shooting as being very poor, right now. Shooting 21 to 26 percent is not going to win for you. Youve got to shoot up around 45 percent to have a chance. But, Worthington said, she things this phase of the game will come as the girls gain more experience.

Rebounding is another problem area in which she is spending a lot of practice time.

Our defense has been our strong point. Its been coming fairly well, she said.

Stram Helped Bring Football Truly Into The Computer Age

By The Associated Press

The coach in the press box looks at the defense, punches it into his computer, checks the printout and shouts into the microphone, Red ri^t X 52 pop zero, on three. The quarterback hears him through his helmet speaker, audibles at the line and...

Or...

The quarterback brings the team up to the line, surveys the defense, enters it into his wrist computer, reads the display, calls the play and...

Well, not quite. Or at least not yet.

If the National Football League isnt ready to bank on instant replays for close calls, it certainly isnt about to turn its game over to a bunch of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong freaks. But computers? Theyve been helping to call the signals since George Blanda was calling them for Kentucky, batk in the mesozoicera.

Thats about the same time Hank Stram was breaking into coaching at his alma mater, Purdue. You remember Hank Stram, dont you? The Little Napolean of the American

Football League. The Offense of the 70s and all that. Kansas Citys moving pocket was supposed to be the next great revolution.

For a while, it was. The Chiefs routed the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl IV, the last great game between AFL and NFL teams before the merger. The Chiefs also were in the first great game, when Vince Lombardis Green Bay Packers beat the Chiefs 35-10 in the AFL-NFL World Championship, what several years later was to become known as Super Bowl I.

After we beat the Vikings, Stram recalled, everyone wanted me to taunt Lombardi, to get even for how hed put down the AFL when wed lost to Green Bay. Someone asked me if I saw any trends in the game. I said the 60s had been a decade of simplicity and that the 70s woidd be a decade of variety ... a lot more motion, more I formations on offense, more zone defenses. The next day, the headline in the paper said, Lombardi System Passe: Stram.

It didnt take long for the rest of the NFL to pick Kansas,

Citys moving pocket. By the mid-1970s, all of Strams innovations had become the norm, the Chiefs - minus the talent that had made them work in the first place - were losers and Stram was out of a job. He surfaced briefly as New Orleans head coach before being bounced by the Saints and materializing behind a microphone.

The former Dapper Dan of the sidelines now struts his stuff for CBS as color commentator and game analyst on Sunday afternoon telecasts and Monday night broadcasts.

He also is a paid consultant to MDS Quantel, Inc., a computer company.

One of its systems is SPORTS-PAC, a computer employed by the Cincinnati BengalS and nearly a dozen other teams as a means of trying to figure out just what to expect at any given time in any given situation.

Facing a second-and-three at your own 27-yard line against, say, Tampa Bays defense? Stram hypothesizes. Theres a 75 percent likelihood the free safety will be up close to the

Edgecombe to again be strong, but she feels that North Pitt, Southern Nash, Ayden-Grifton and Charles B. Aycock all have a chance to upset them.

As to the Lady Jag hopes, Worthington is hopeful that maturity will come along and that the team will be able to escape the cellar this season. Were going to do the best we can, she said.

And with everyone returning next year, that added maturity might make Farmville one of the stronger teams in the league for a change.

CHARLOTTE (AP) - Organizers of a new professional basketball league say they want to locate a franchise in Charlotte.

Tentative plans were announced Wednesday for the United Basketball Associaton, which organizers say will begin next December with 12 teams in medium-sized cities along the Eastern Seaboard.

We think this has a lot of promise, said Keith Pritt, first vice president of the UBA and athletic director for the Kanawha County Schools in Charleston, W.Va.

Pritt said he and a group of other Charleston-area high-school coaches and sports fans are organizing the league. Pritt, along with several members of the group, has been involved with the West Virginia Rockets, a franchise in the American Football Association.

Pritt said the group wanted to organize the league because of the lack of professional

basketball in the Mid-Atlantic states.

Unlike professional football, there are no professional basketball leagues on the Eastern Seaboard, he said. Weve thought about it for quite some time.

Pritt also said the new league could be a springboard to the National Basketball Association for talented players who otherwise wouldnt be able to play professionally.

He said people in Pittsbur^i and Winston-Salem have contacted the leagues organizers and expressed an interest in the league. He said the lea^e wants to set up teams in cities in Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

We have no potential franchise owner in Charlotte at this time, Pritt said. We hope the news coverage will cause some potential buyers to contact us. We also plan to visit the towns were inter

ested in and talk to the chambers of commerce and let people know that the franchise availability is there.

Pritt said the cost of a franchise is $10,000 and said the league plans to require franchise owners to post a performance bond.

Tentative plans call for each team to have 10 players, a coach and trainer. He said salaries for players would range to $300 to $500 a week while salaries for coaches would be about $700 a week.

The leagues 60-game schedule would begin in December and continue through March, Pritt said. Games would be played on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday to avoid conflicts with high school games.

However, one Charlotte sports executive says the league would face a bleak future in Charlotte.

line to shut down the run. A good bet: call a deep post pattern to the wide receiver. Hell probably be singlecovered by a comerback.

Bill Amsparger, the resident genius behind the Miami Dolphins defense, likes the system, too. The computer gives us any information we want - what the other teams offense is doing in certain formations at various positions on the field, he says. It tells us which ball-carrier is doing what, which receivers are catching the ball and the patterns they run.

Of course, theres more to it than just knowing what the other guys is likely to be doing at any given moment. If you can track his tendencies, he can track yours. Self-analysis is just as important to our team as knowing our opponents tendencies, says BUI Nelsen, the Tampa Bay quarterback coach. We dont want to be predictable. This doesnt mean that if our strongest suit is the I(mg pass that were going to shy away from it because the other team is expecting it. But the computer helps us to recognize our own tendencies and patterns.

And needs, too.

Uh-oh. Youve just lost yoor starting ti^it end. Youve got someone to put in his place -thats what depth charts are for but now you need a body for bench strength, say someone about 6-foot-5,250 poun^, maybe three years experience.

Sorry, coach. Klln Winslows not avaUable. Tfy again.

In just a few seconds, the computer wUl teU you who fits your requirements and whos avaUable.

Stram believes that by the end of the 1980s, you may see each team with a computer terminal on the sidelines during a game, (grated by an assistant coach, to give the other coaches instant readouts on defenses, tendencies and so on.

Computers wont ever replace coaches or players, he says, but they are making the game more sophisticated.

: Tis the season to be jolly, and one would have to think that East Carolina athletics, at this holiday season, is getting a few of its Christmas wishes.

~ Football recruiting is well underway, and while the Pirates havent announced any signings ^yet,. its believed that they have inked at least one ; junior college transfer and are on the verge of i signing a few others. It will be early February : before the high school seniors can sign, but the Word we are hearing is that things are looking

* pretty good at this time.

; Hopefully the Pirates will come up with ' another outstanding recruiting class.

: We understand, too, that the football schedule *for the 1983 season is approaching the 11-game mark. At last report all, unofficial the Pirates have ten games for sure and are working

on getting the 11th. It would appear at this time that chances are good but not definite for

:five home games, and that three of the away games are going to be in Florida. Those, according to the grapevine, are Florida, Florida State and Miami.

All in all, it would appear that the Pirates will be facing their toughest schedule ever in 1983.

Basketball is looking up despite the fact that new coach Charlie Harrison didnt arrive until late July and did none of the recruiting himself. He apparently found a jewel in freshman Johnny Edwards, however, left, in his early Christmas stocking.

. Harrison has the Pirates playing some of their best basketball ever, and perhaps might turn the team into a contender in the ECAC-South.

According to the latest ECAC stats, Edwards is second in the league in scoring with a 17.8 average (through games of December 19. George Masons Carlos Yates is first at 25.8 and the Pirates face Yates and the Patriots in their first ECAC game on December 30.

Edwards is also third in rebounding with an 8.3 average. James Madisons Dan Ruland is first at 8.8, followed by Vernon Butler of Navy at 8.6.

Edwards is also tied for fourth in the league in steals with a 1.8 per game average. William &

- Marys Mike Strayhom leads with a 2.4 mark.

Bruce Peartree and Charles Green share third place in blocked shots with 0.8 per game, while Edwards is tied for fifth with 0.6 per game. Navys Cliff Mauer is first at 2.8.

Edwards is second in field goal percentage, hitting 64.8 percent, to Yates 64.9 percent.

- As a team, ECU is third in the league in field

goal percentage, 50.8, and fourth in free throw percentage, 70.5. GMU leads the former at 55.3 and W&M the latter at 77.1.

The Lady Pirates are off to a good start despite some problems. They embark on a long road trip on December 30, facing Notre Dame. Along the way, theyll meet Western Kentucky, Cincinnati, Old Dominion, and UNC-Charlotte as well as participate in the South Carolina Invitational.

And when they return home, itll be against powerful Old Dominion and 6-8 Anne Donovan on February 2.

East Carolinas drive to raise $1 million over a five-year period for athletics also is going well, we understand. As of about a week ago, it was around the half-way mark.

As the final round of bowls approaches next weekend, the polls will be ready to list their final Top Twenties.

Because of some technical problems, we didnt get our last standings of the computer Top Twenty in.

The listing, based on strength of schedule had Penn State as the leader through the end of the regular season. Georgia, tops on the AP and UPI polls was second and the two meet ip the Sugar Bowl on January 1. That should settle things for this year.

Just for fun, we ran East Carolina through the computer having won two games that possibly they could have won later in the year, N.C. State and Missouri. That brought the Pirates up to 34th place. They might have been higher in this hypothetical situation but for penalties for playing Division I-AA schools.

At any rate, here are the final regular season Top Twenty teams, and well bring you our final full-seasbn Top Twenty as soon as the bowls are over.

1. Penn State (10-1)...,......................i964

So you thinlc there are too many bowl games?

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear which abounded with such classics as the Alamo Bowl (San Antonio, Jan. 4, 1947, Hardln-Simmons 20, Denver 0), the Aviation Bowl (Dayton, Dec. 9, 1961, New Mexico 28, Western Michigan 12), the Bluegrass Bowl (Louisville, Dec. 13,1958, Oklahoma State outyodeled Florida State 15-6) and the Mercy Bowl (Los Angeles, Nov. 23,1961, Fresno State 36, Bowling Green 6).

Indeed, there were classics ; The Dixie Classic in Dallas (Jan. 2, 1922, Texas A&M 22, Centre 14; Jan. 1, 1925, West Virginia Wesleyan 9, SMU 7) not to be confused with the Dixie Bowl in Birmingham (Jan. 1, 1948, Arkansas 21, William & Mary 19; Jan. 1, 1949, Baylor 20, Wake Forest 7) the El Paso Charity Classic (Jan. 2, 1933, SMU 26, UTEP 0), the Fort Worth Gassic (Jan. 1, 1921, Centre 63, TCU 7) and the San Diego East-West Christmas Classic in 1921-22).

1948, Hardin-Simmons 49, Wichita State 12), as opposed to the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento which annually decided the College Division champion not too long ago?

How about the Delta Bowl in Memphis (1948-49); the Gotham (alias Frigidaire) Bowl in the Big Frozen Apple (1961-62); the Grape (hie!) Bowl in Lodi, Calif. (1947-48); the Great Lakes Bowl in Cleveland (1947); the Harbor Bowl in San Diego (1947-49); the Los Angeles Christmas Festival (1924); the New York City Charity Bowl (1930-31); the Oil Bowl in Houston (1946-47); the Junior Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. (1967), which later became the Pasadena Bowl (1%9-71); the Pittsburgh Charity Bowl (1931); the Presidential Cup in College Park, Md. (1931); the Raisin Bowl in Fresno (1946-49); the Salad Bowl in Phoenix (1948-1952) and the Shrine Bowl in Little Rock (1948), not to be confused with the East-West Shrine all-star game.

The last to die was the Garden State Bowl at East Rutherford, N.J. (1978-81). And surely trivia buffs recall the only bowl ever played outside the United States

(sorry, the current Mirage Bowl in Tokyo is a regular-season game and doesnt count).

Answer: The Bacardi Bowl on Jan. 1, 1937, a 7-7 tie between Auburn and Villanova. Sometimes referred to as the Rhumba Bowl or the Cigar Bowl, it was played in Havana and climaxed Cubas annual national sports festival that year. Billy Hitchcock, later a major league baseball player, ran 40 yards for Auburns touchdown.

It was played in a revolu-tionary atmosphere Fulgencio Batista had just assumed power and the contest was almost canceled because his picture was not in the game program. A quick trip to the printer saved the Bacardi Bowl.

Enough about old bowls. Time to pick the winners of the upcoming extravaganzas. The regular-season score was 426 right, 146 wrong and 13 lies for a percentage of .745, Against the spread, the count was 170-164-2-.509.

Forty-Niners Set To Turn Into Pumpkins

The battered but proud San Francisco 49ers, last years Cinderella team in the National Football League, are on the verge of becoming this seasons pumpkins.

The 49ers, the defending Super Bowl champions after posting a surprising regular-season record of 13-3 after a 6-10 campaign in 1981, could be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention if they lose to the Chiefs at Kansas City Sunday.

Both teams have 2-5 records in this strike-shortened, nine-game season, and another loss would end their slim chances of reaching the National and American Conference playoffs, which have been expanded from five teams each to eight this season.

So far, four teams have clinched playoffs spots with only two weeks remaining in the regular season the Los Angeles Raiders in the AFC and Dallas, Washington and Atlanta in the NFC,

Sundays other NFL games include: the New York Jets,

5-2, at Minnesota, 4-3; Green Bay, 4-2-1, at Atlanta, 5-2; New Orleans, 4-3, at Pittsburgh, 4-3; Cleveland, 34, at Houston, 1-6; Washington, 6-1, at New Orleans, 3-4; Philadelphia, 2-5, at Dallas,

6-1; Denver, 2-5, at the Raiders, 6-1; Chicago, 2-5, at the Los Angeles Rams, 1-6; Detroit, 34, at Tampa Bay, 34; the New York Giants, 34, at St. Louis, 4-3; Baltimore, 0-6-1, at San Diego, 5-2, and Seattle, 34, at Cincinnati, 5-2.

Monday nights nationally televised game is Buffalo, 4-3, at Miami, 5-2.

Our guys are down, its a hard feeling - realizing were (almost) out of it, said San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana, whose record streak

of five consecutive 300-yard passing games was ended last Sunday night in a 17-7 loss to Atlanta.

"Well show up for the last two games, though. We still have our pride to play for, added Montana.

As lousy as were playing, if we hacked into the playoffs by some miracle, we would only embarrass ourselves, 49ers offensive tackle Keith Fahnhorst said candidly.

The injury plagued 49ers are hurting badly on defense. Already shorthanded because of the loss of Dwaine Board, out since the first game of the season with a sprained knee, and Pete Kugler, sidelined with a sprained neck, the 49ers saw Fred Dean, Jeff Stover, John Harty and Lawrence Fillers also get injured against Atlanta.

Fillers, previously saddled

with a shoulder separation and a badly-swollen elbow this season, suffered a mild concussion during the third quarter of the Atlanta game and was declared out for the rest of the contest. But when Harty sustained a leg injury in the fourth period, the groggy Fillers was rushed back onto the field.

Things got so bad for the 49ers that offensive guard John Choma also was forced to play defense in the second half.

Of the 11 NFC teams that have not qualified for the playoffs, all are still mathematically alive. In the AFC, only Denver, Houston and Baltimore have been eliminated. Denver, with the same record as Kansas City in the AFC, cannot make the playoffs because of a tie-breaking procedure.

Will To Win Strong

The way Scott Stankavage sees the 1982 season. North Carolina could have packed it in and waited until 1983, but-he credits his teams will to win as a key factor in reaching this Saturdays Sun Bowl with Texas.

Weve been through a whole lot. Teams that have lesser people as players and coaches wouldnt have come through the way we did, Stankavage said. All our goal^, all our dreams that were so high ... all those things were stripped away from us in mid-season.

Stankavage was expected to be the started next season after quarterback Rod Elkins guided the team to a great year. That great year never quite happened, Elkins suffered two knee injuries and

Stankavage got his baptism much sooner than he or a lot of people anticipated.

No longer fiiting for a shot at the national championship, Stankavage said in an interview that Tar Heel pride is at stake.

This Sun Bowl is an excellent opportunity for us to take some tarnish off of the season, he said.

Stankavage actually was thrust upon the scene in 1981, when Elkins suffered a sprained ankle. He's had moments of greatness and periods of difficulty, but he thinks the experience of the past two seasons will make him a better quarterback by next fall.

any way to have fun in El Paso with Mexico just a piedras throw away ... North Carolina 21-14.

16The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C.Friday, December 24,1962Eight Years Later-Still Waiting For Daughter

By LAURA RICHARDSON Associated Press Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Leslie Wilsons presents are still in the attic of the small white frame house. The new clothes are out of style, and she is too old for the toys. Everything was bought for a 14-year-old girl who disappeared eight years ago while Christmas shopping.

If shes still alive. Leslie is now 22. Her little brother has grown up, married, and become a father. Her great-grandmother, who took care of her while her mother worked, is dead.

Her Pekingese grew old and sick and had to be destroyed four years ago.

But the gifts are still in the, attic, and her mother, Judy Wilson, now 40, still hopes.

Would you please assist in our search for our children? Mrs. Wilson recently wrote to The Associated Press. When 1 read in this mornings paper about President Reagans Missing Childrens Act, it gave me a new hope.

The bill signed by Reagan in October permits parents to ask the FBI if the name of their missing child is in its coniputer files. If local police decline to enter the riame, the act permits parents to do so on their own.

Oh, I dream about her quit^ often. I know what she hasnt changed, Mrs. Wilson said, gazing at the last school picture of her daughter. Shed be tall, and headstrong, spoiled, you know.

Leslie Renee Wilson set out with two friends on an afternoon of Christmas shop-^)ing at Seminary South shopping mall Dec. 23, 1974. She instructed her mother -in no uncertain terms - to pick her up at her greatgrandmothers house at 4 / p.m.

We were going to a party, Mrs. Wilson said. I know she intended to be there.

Police never had many clues to the disappearance of Leslie and her friends Mary Rachel Trlica, 17, and Julie

Qun smiles. Now that hes warmed up with gigong, he takes off, turning his penguin-like waddle into a soft jog and then a full gallop for a few miles.

This is jogging fever, Chinese-style.

Among those smitten with jogging, probably the best organized are senior citizens who rise between 4 and 5 a.m. and run in empty streets before the roads are taken over by cyclists, belching buses and honking cars.

Their only morning sounds are the thump of feet and the clip-clop of farm horses pulling wagons of produce to city markets.

Ive been running for 20 years, Qun said between head slaps and pushups - part of his warmup routine for one of the Peking senior citizen races held two or three times a year.

No one would run with me then, but now I have company, he sdid

Elderly runners in Peking wear blue outfits emblazoned with the words Long March Oldsters Running Team, a reference to the Chinese Communists epic 6,000-mile trek to escape the Nationalist army in the 1930s.

The team, formed in 1978, has more than 400 members, with an average age of 58, scattered around the capital in eight groups. They include factory workers, teachers, officials,, doctors and retirees.

I use to be fat like that, said Ma Jingru, 55, as she stuck a finger into an unwitting male spectators bouncing belly, Stuck out in the back, too.

Now Im healthier because I have lost a lot of weight, the department store clerk said. Her routine over the past five years has been to run alongside a bicycle every day and then go to work.

Like millions of runners around the world, their reason for running is to promote fitness, but the oldsters have added a distinct Chinese touch.

Like Qun, other team members borrow the techniques of qigong, an ancient Chinese exercise which emphasizes breathing to relax and strengthen the body.

Those who have mastered qigong can absorb blows to stomach and head and lie on beds of nails.

. Others practice the popular slow, graceful movements of tai-qiquan or what the West often calls shadow boxing, to cool down after a long run.

Expensive running shoes and clothes are absent. The oldsters slap on plain rubber-soled shoes, put on the same socks they wear during the day and wear plain shorts and T-shirts.

In the 1982 fall race, 239 men and 30 women competed; the first race in 1978 had fewer than 100 participants. Those 69 years old and younger ran a 5-mile course and 12 feisty runners who were over 70 tackled a 2.5-mile course.

Escorted by a jeep and flanked by cyclists holding red warning flags, the runners raced through a park into nearly barren Sunday morning streets and back, fighting off the chill from a cold, drizzly, Siberian wind.

Wang Fuqi, a retired bricklayer, was the oldest male contestant at 89 and 65-year-old Wu Weihao, a retired teacher, was the oldest woman.

Wang joined the Long Marchers in 1979 and covers about three miles a day by alternating jogging and walking in his pre-dawn constitutional.

My right arm and leg were getting stiff so I started to run to loosen them, said Wang, sporting a rare baseball cap and a heavy sweatsuit.

Long distance running also has increased in other major Chinese cities, partly through the efforts of 1,800 guidance stations in the nation which encourage exercise programs for senior citizens.

Exchanges with other nations also have developed. Long Marcher Chu Richang, 80, was the oldest participant in a Sino-U.S. Aged People Race in October 1981, running 10,000 meters (6.2 miles).

This year, the Long Marchers Japanese counterparts, the Nippon 'furtles, visited Peking to participate in races.

Mosely, 9. Investigators first assumed the girls had run< away. A few days later after they vanished, a note mailed to Tommy Trlica, Mao' Rachels husband of six months, seemed to support that theory.

I know Im going to catch it, but we just had to get away," the penciled note said. Were going to Houston. See you in about a week. The car is in Sears upper lot.

Mary Rachels name was misspelled, and FBI handwriting experts could not confirm if she had written the letter. But the car was where the note said it would be. Inside were gifts the girls had bought, and a pair of blue jeans Leslie had gotten outoflayaway.

The car was not dusted for fingerprints because officers did not think they were dealing with a crime.

I could have told you that night that they hadnt run away, Mrs. Wilson said. Leslie wanted to go to that party. And no 9-year-old is going to run off two days before Christmas. Everybody knows that.

The families of the missing

girls have sent 70,000 handbills with their daughters photographs throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. They sent the pictures to 45 newspapers. They hired a private investigator, and followed up every tip from seers and psychics who claimed to know where the children went, or where their bodies could be found.

We went around knocking on peoples doors, asking them to let us look in their basements. We went out to a field in West Texas, we dug - in ditches all over the place, and looked up and down creek beds. I have no idea how much money we spent, Mrs. Wilson said.

Finally police turned the case over to the homicide detectives.

Major Case Investigator George Hudson has helped look for the girls for seven yeais. He has a file almost two feet thick, full of leads that went nowhere.

Probably the only way well ever solve this thing is if somebody just comes forward and says what happened to them, Hudson said. Theres no evidence.

no nothing.

Last year, bits of human skeletons were discovered in a swamp near the southeast Texas town of Alvin. Hudson, a team of convicts from the state prison, and dozens of volunteers dug in the muck for two months, finally finding enough teeth in April 1981 to identify the bodies.

They were two girts from Dickinson, Georgia Geer, 14, and Brooks Bracewell, 12. They also had vanish^ in 1974.

It was a relief that it wasnt Leslie, but ... you know, it was ... well, at least those other girls families know what happened to them, Mrs. Wilson said.

Mrs. Wilson and her husband Richard have tried to go on. Three years ago they finally threw away Leslies old clothes, gave her bedroom furniture to her cousin, and put the rest of her belongings in the attic with the Christmas gifts.

ine Daily Reflector, reenville, N.C.-Friday, December 24,198217Joint Administration Of Panama Canal Succeeds

By JOSEPH B. FRAZIER -Associated Press Writer PANAMA CITY, Panama AP) - The Panama Canal ln)der joint Panamanian-U.S. Sidministration is a success despite earlier criticism that it would never work.

- Many people here say that although some economic (roubles unrelated to the a^ninistrative change have 0ected the canal, it has {i^tioned well in the five years since then-President parter signed the Panama CInal treaties, ijjnder the treaties, Pimama is taking over the Itpal gradually and will bave full control in the year pm.,

Pemando Manfredo, the *

canals Panamanian deputy administrator, says the waterway will continue as a dominant factor in Western Hemisphere shipping well into the next century.

It could have been the opposite. It could have been a great failure, Manfredo told The Associated Press.

The 50-mile waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, built 68 years ago, is plagued with loss of revenue caused by shipping alternatives and the world recession. But the Panamanians, who have been running it jointly with Americans since October 1979, are drawing up plans to counter the proUems.

Carter signed the treaties

with the late Panamanian strongman, Gen. Omar Tor-rijos, on Sept. 7, 1977. Congress approved them by a narrow margin the next year.

Both countries, said Manfredo, have shown a willingness to put aside their differences and bad memories of the past.

President Reagan and other American conservatives have said the treaties might endanger U.S. security and could encourage the Soviet Union and Cuba to expand their influence in Panama.

It should never surprise us that whenever the United States withdraws its presence or its strong interest in

any area, the Soviets are ready, willing and often able to exploit the situation, Reagan once said.

Panamanian President Ricardo de la Espriella told the AP in a recent interview he is gratified that as president, Reagan has put aside personal views to work with Panama for the treatys success. The canal treaties, he said, have been a great step forward for Panama.

He (Reagan) still may have his personal reasons, de la E^riella said. But he respects his nations commitments.

De la Espriella, a U.S.-educated economist and formr banker, took office July 30 after the nations all-powerful national guard ousted President Aristides Royo.

Panama still has complaints about the treaties, under which the government gets $77 million annually.

One big problem, de la Espriella said, is that Congress passed legislation that pays canal employees hired after the treaties - mostly Panamanians - much less than employees hired when the enterprise was part of the old U.S. Canal Zone.

The lower salary scales, de la Espriella said, threaten the spirit of the agreement. He said Reagan promised to study the wage controversy when the two leaders discussed the issue in Washington last October. Congress still has control over canal administration and finances.

Decreased shipping volume this year lowered canal revenues and the administrators are planning to raise tariffs 9.8 percent, probably in March, to compensate.

An average of 33 ships a day plied the canal this year, thou^ the waterway has a daily capacity for 42 ships. Channels through the canals three locks are being widened and deepened so it can handle larger vessels at a faster rate.

Fees are calculated on the basis of a so-called Panama Canal ton, which is 1(X) cubic feet of marketable below-deck space. The rate is now $1.67 per canal ton, and will rise to $1.83 per canal ton after canal improvements are finished.

An average ship pays about $22,000 for the transit, but tolls have ranged from $89,154.62 for the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1980 to

36 cents paid by Richard Halliburton, an adventurer who swam the canal in 1928.

Manfredo said the canal remains an important link in the maritime chain but its relative value will continue to decline as total international shipping increases.

The canal administration has opened a marketing office to counteract shipping alternatives that have Ijeen

Puzzle For Home Town

NEW CANAAN, Conn.

(AP) For those puzzled by the goings-on in this affluent New York City suburb, Clark Robinson has all the pieces ready to be put together.

Robinson, a 59-year-old former New Canaan resident, has created a brightly colored 500-piece jigsaw puzzle that he calls "a hometown game that sort of whimsically looks at some of the people and places. 1 tried to include as many things people would recognize.

Only the people familiar with New Canaan will catch the allusions, but Robinson, who owns an advertising agency in neighboring Westport, explained a few in a recent interview.

Class Tries To Better Refugee Driving Habits

By DENISE MEYER Associated Press Writer PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Learning to drive is a potentially dangerous cultural hurdle for refugees from Southeast Asia, and the city has extended a program aimed at giving the newcomers a boost.

Its terrible, Sgt. G.R. Dick of the Portland Police Bureau traffic division. A disproportionate amount of them have accidents.

The program began after the commission received a report from police Lt. Tom Potter about the refugees driving problems, according to Maury Wilson, the Traffic Safety Commissions coordinator.

Wilson said a cursory look at traffic accidents found that in over 70 percent of those involving Southeast Asians, they were at fault, primarily over disobeying traffic signs or signals.

Its hard for them to understand such things as right of way. If they want to turn, they turn, and if theres someone coming, thats too bad, said Dick. He said there have been serious accidents involving refugees, but no fatalities.

The special driving program, run jointly by the city and Portland Community College, began in the fall. It gave 26 students 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours each of behind-the-wheel driver training, comparable to what teen-agers get in local high schools.

On Tuesday, the traffic safety commission approved continuing the program.

Were not only having to teach them the laws, but the cultural implications that go with it, said Rosalyn Menashe, an organizer and

special projects coordinator for the college.

For example, she said, a native 15-year-old probably is familiar with insurance, but virtually none of the refugees is insured, even^ though most of them must drive because they work at jobs with odd hours when there is no bus service.

"Maybe three or four familieswill get together and buy a car, but not know how to operate it," said Mrs. Menashe. who praised the refugees for their enthusiasm to learn.

Portland is home to about 70 percent of the states 18,000 Southeast Asian refugees and many more from other parts of the world.

Jay Bosse, assistant man-ager of the Department of Motor Vehicles licensing center in Northeast Portland, where manv Southeast Asian

live, says those refugees have a particular cultural disadvantage learning to

drive.

Other nationality groups that have migrated to this county have normally come from countries where driving is routine. Bosse says.

When Mexicans come up here they have a language problem, but they have been driving since they were 10. The people coming from Asian countries ... have never been behind the wheel of a car in their life, Bosse says.

, A lot of them - we get the impression - when they are taking our automated tests they approach it as they would a video game they put their quarter in and take their chances Some of them get 3 out of 26 questions right.

ByJANEWELBORN Reflector staff Writer The holiday season is a festive time, full of parties and celebrations. Christmas gatherings and New Years Eve get-togethers almost always include alcohol. Friends and loved ones are often traveling and party guests must return home after the party.

Drinking and driving is a serious problem, especially during the holiday season, according to Porter Shaw, director of the Pitt County Mental Health Substance Abuse Program.

"During the holiday season there is a greater chance for alcohol abuse, Shaw said. There are parties to attend; people who dont drink much during the course of the year will use alcohol as a social -lubricant to feel at ease at parties. Also, with the New Year falling on the weekend this year and with lots of people off of work Saturday, there will be lots of people drinking.

'Jazzed Up' Classic Poem

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) A group of sixth- and seventh-grade students have jazzed up a classic Chrismas poem with images of video games and designer jeans.

Students at E. Russell Hicks Middle School were asked by teachers Jo .\nn Overington and Mary Prather to make up their own words to the meter and rhyme scheme of the poem, Visit from St. Nicholas, commonly known as "Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Kirk Snindle, in his poem entitled A Christmas with St. Prepman, wrote;

The Izod socks were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Prepman soon would be there.

He replaced the usual group of reindeer with the names of designers whose signatures appear on the pockets of denim slacks.

Stephen Michener set his poem in an audio store.

It read;

The electronic games were displayed with care In hopes that Captain Video soon would be there.

The computers were ready,

All packed up in aisles. While visions of softwear danced in their wires.

MadeTheMovie They Planned

NEW YORK (AP) - Sally Field, in New York to hype her new film," Kiss Me Goodbye, was her usual outspoken self in discussing it.

I think we made the movie we set out to make, she said. You have to be glad about that, because in this business, that may be all youll get.

Her role - a woman about to be married whose dead husband returns as a ghost -was a delicate balance between comedy and drama, she said

Makeup Melts Under The Heat

NEW YORK (AP) -Dustin Hoffman, who dresses up as a woman in order to land a role on a daytime soap opera in his new movie, Tootsie, says that wearing all the makeup required for the role was no easy task.

We had to refrigerate parts of the set and shoot in the winter because my makeup would melt under the hot lights after several hours, he said. In fact, after a few weeks of shooting, my skin turned out to be Appalachian.

Makeup artist George Masters was responsible for the transformation.

pressant, you become more melancholy. Also, when some families gather together, there is friction. Alcohol doesnt reduce this friction; it often- adds to the problems. Many assaults reported during the holidays are directly related to alcohol.

There are alternatives to drinking during the holidays. Shaw mentioned church services, covered dish suppers and songfests as ways to celebrate without imbibing Another alternative is party in which the central focus is not drinking.

A lot of people who give parties feel they have to provide alcoholic beverages for guests, Shaw said. Parties are often judged on how many people get drunk. People who do chose to serve alcohol at a party must do so in a responsible way. The goal of a party is not to see how much alcohol can be consumed but for people to join together and be convivial.

Influenced By Ronstadt

HOLLYWOOD (AP) -Cher, after nearly 20 years as an entertainer, decided to become an actress when she saw Linda Ronstadt in The Pirates of Penzance. Watching her I thought, if Linda can do this, what am 1 doing wasting my time? If the studio people wont take me seriously, then Ill go to New York and try my luck, the raven-haired singer said. '

Cher had never acted on the stage in her life, not even in school. She turned to acting because she felt her career had begun to peak and was in the doldrums.

The first thing she did was star on Broadway in Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Then she did the movie version. The critics gave her good marks. She also stars with Meryl Streep in Silkwood. Cher, .36, made her first movie, "Good Times, with her former husband. Sonny Bono, when she was 19. I didnt want to do it and 1 was terrible in it.

A few years later she did another movie, Chastity, written by Bono. That was terrible, too, she said.

Add A Tourist To Old Legend

HOLLYWOOD (AP) -Malcolm McDowell plays the title role in Arthur the King. Candice Bergen is the witch, Morgan Le Fay. And byan Cannon? Oh, shes an American tourist who drops in on Camelot.

Miss Cannon is visiting Stonehenge, England, when she accidentally drops into a time warp and ends up in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Those Druids are tricky.

An epic three-hour recreation of the romantic Arthurian legend (with one American tourist) is now being filmed in England and on location in Yugoslavia for CBS. Clive Donner is directing from a script by J. David Wyles and David Karp.

Here are some prty-giving tips suggested by Shaw and court counselor Debra Wells of DUI program at the Mental Health Center:

Hosts need to plan not to have alcohol as the main attraction at a party. Booze shouldnt make the party. Try games, cards, entertainment, people and conversation.

A cocktail hour sets aside a definite time for drinks. Alsp/ try other forms of ities that are not conducive to drinking, such as an open house or afternoon tea.

Include the children and have a childrens bar set up. Parents will most likely act more responsible in their drinking behavior.

Have food and nonalcoholic beverages available. Start the guests off with eating so the alcohol is absorbed slower, rather than grabbing the guest as soon as he walks in the door and saying, Can I fix you a drink?

People tend to drink less if there is a person designated to mix drinks rather than letting each person mix their own.

Dont rush to refill empty glasses.

Plan to wind down the drinking early. About an hour before guests are to leave push alternatives to alcohol. It is a good idea to end a party with breakfast.

Guests should decide how much alcohol they are going to consume before they reach the party. After the first drink, the ability to rea^n

will be impaired to the degree that one cant make a sound jud^ent. Couples can decide which one of them is going to drink and which is going to stay sober and drive, i

The host should be on the lookout for people who are over-indulging. Decrease the amount of ala^ol put in the persons drink and generally the prson doesnt know it. Quiedy ask the person if he wante to lie down and rest.

Fhends just dont let friends drive drunk. Offer to drive him home, call a cab, invite him to spend the night at your house.

Take the persons car keys if he insists on driving. He may be offended, Shaw said, but Id rather offend someone temporarily and have that person alive and healthy rather than crippled or mangled or dead or re-sponsiWe for the loss of someone elses life. If you keep someone who is drinking from driving, he will thank you when he sobers up.

If someone is angry and insists on driving, call the police. The police would rather be telling people not to do it (driving under the influence) by coming to someones door than by investigating bloody bodies on

the road, said Wells.

If the drinking driver makes it home,after the party, he still has problems. Even the day after drinking, alcohol can have an effect on the body, said 'Thomas F. OBrien Jr., president of the

Pitt County Medical Society. The morning after a night of heavy drii^g can leave you feeling thirsty, with a headache and possible nausea, he said.

According to OBrien, there are some measures you

can take to reduce the misery of a hangover. His first suggestion is drink less.

Other means of reducing the effects of a hangover include eating something before, during and after drinking alcohol and drink

ing several glasses (A water before going to bed, because drinking alcoholic beverages causes loss of water to the bodys tissues. ,

By following these suggestions, one can have a safe holiday season.

Africa Observes Christmas Tradition

By JAMES R.PEIPERT Associated Press Writer NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -The only snow found here dusts the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya, the countrys national symbol. But lack of snow does not deter the celebration of Christmas, the biggest family holiday in Kenya and much of this huge, diverse continent.

The Swahili greeting 'akutakia Kris.mas ya Furaha or the Afrikaans Geseende Kerfees, exchanged by the white Putch-descended settlers of South Africa, canche same wishes of good will as the Blnglish equivalent -

Merry Christmas."

Many Kenyans have been saving for as long as six months to buy a goat or a cow to roast at family reunions at Christmas, which - as in the United States or Europe - is observed with church-going, gift-giving, carol-singing and drinking.

But fuel shortages in Kenya and Zimbabwe this year will prevent some people from making the trek t(f home villages.

There is a rush on any sort of transportion - usually rickety, mud-spattered buses, flatbed trucks with travelers piled atop burlap

bags of charcoal or, in Kenya, the ubiquitous matatu, a panel truck packed with passengers and parcels.

In South Africa, where Christmas rrives at the height oif the Southern Hemisphere summer, affluent whites will have their turkey cold and served buffet-style around the swimming pool.

Other white South Africans have already begun the annual Christmas migration to the Indian Ocean beaches of Natal Province where the Miami-like resort city of Durban swelters amid tinsel holiday decorations.

'Eye On The Media' Is Unusually Lively Hour

ByFREDROTHENBERG AP Television Writer , NEW YORK (AP) - CBS News turns 14 talking heads into a remarkably lively hour of television in "Eye on the Media: Business and the Press," a panel free-for-all of ideas and opinions.

CBS, the network, however, seems to have little faith in this forum, having scheduled Eye on the Media" for JO p.m. EST Saturday of this holiday weekend, when many Americans are thinking more of Christmas, the Caribbean, or grandmas pumpkin pie than they are of television.

The network has hidden this program in an off-peak period because Eye on the Media" is devoid of car crashes, bedroom scenes or goofy comedy situations, All it will do is enlighten viewers with articulate advocates of different points of view and perspectives.

All of them get to be themselves in some hypothetical role-playing, through which the mutual distrust between the press and busi

ness is examined. The panel discussion, held last month and since edited in sequence by CBS News, was cosponsored by CBS News and Columbia University.

CBS correspondents Dan Rather and Mike Wallace are cast in the roles of accusatory newsmen. Told that kerosene space heaters might be dangerous. Wallace says eagerly. Of course, were interested in telling the story."

The moderator, Harvard law Professor Charles Nesson, suggests that Wallace might illustrate the issue by approaching a gas station attendant who doesnt read the labels and sells the wrong grade of kerosene. He goes further, suggesting that Wallace might have that fellow squirming a bit

Youre not really concerned about whether he is going to squirm or not squirm, Wallace responds, explaining he is seeking information for the public good because people conceivably can die, if theyre buying the wrong kind of kerosene

Pets Said Poor Christmas Gift

Pets are among Americas most ill-advised Christmas gifts. Alice Herrington, president of Friends of Animals Inc., says.

, Puppies and kittens sell 'well at Christmastime, but 'Within a month many of these same animals will be ! cowering in the cages of local animal pounds. Others will already be dead, unwanted and abandoned to bleak winter.

Although many people take pleasure in giving young animals as Christmas gifts, ,not everyone is so happy about receiving one. Usually , the animal is accepted with 'gracious thanks and then '< somehow disappears. Animal shelters all over America s* experience a population explosion during the weeks immediately following Christmas. A relative few f are found other homes, but j others are put to sleep or sold , to experimental labs.

\ Anyone considering giving a living creature should con-sider the following points, 1 Ms. Herrington said:

, Be absolutely sure the .animal is wanted. If this ; means losing the joy of ' surprise, so be it. Better no ! siiprise than risking tragedy ; with an animals life.

' >Be absolutely sure the * recipient is capable of giving

the animal the care and attention it needs. Too often children are wildly infatuated with a pet, but are not mature enough to be sure that the animal is properly tended. Sometimes companion" animals are given to older people who have neither the strength nor resources to provide basic care for those pets..

Try waiting till a few days or weeks after Christmas and visiting the animal shelter where its likely youll find appealing animals for yourself and for someone you wish to give a gift. Your gift of joy will then also be an errand of mercy.

If the shelter does not have its own requirement for spaying the animal, contact Friends of Animals, 11 W. 60th St., New York, N.Y. 10023 for information on low-cost spaying. Spayed animals make better pets theyre better tempered, more reliable and easier to train. (Its no accident than more than 90 percent of the seeing-eye dogs in the world are spayed females.) Spaying your pet will protect you from having to find homes for puppies and/or kittens among recipients who might not truly want them. These are the creatures that keep the pounds and shelters full all year-round.

Rather, too, is on the trail. Nesson asks him if he would pursue the ignorant gas station attendant as he once did a government meat inspector on "60 Minutes. The inspector eventually fled from Rather and hid among the carcasses.

I dont get people. I get stories, Rather says. That man got himself. I didnt get him."

But, with the same side asking the questions and editing the film, would you, Mr. Businessman, let Rather and Wallace into your office?

The head of the mythical company making the heaters is William Agee, chairman of the Bendix Corp., who says that if Rather called, he would speak to him.

Rather doubts that. More likely, he would have to go throu^ Agees buffer, someone like Herb Schmertz, a panelist on the program who is vice president of public affairs for Mobil Corp. Schmertz says his advice would be for Agee to talk to Rather without cameras and microphones.

Another panelist, Howard Allen, president of Southern California Edison, says businessmen who wont answer questions are fools then, t^cause I think youre going to butcher them worse.

Its all a revealing, fly-on-the-wall look at the journalistic process and some of the obstacles it encounters. Along the way, other issues are raised, such' as checkbook journalism, and whether "60 Minutes is good journalism or show business.

Much of this might have been too parochial for the layman, except for Nesson. As moderator, he provokes the panelists but never loses sight of the developing story that needs to be comprehensible to the public. He performed the same role for ABCs Viewpoint last fall.

Dramatically, humorously and effectively, Nesson probes, prods and cajoles the panelists. Whose words make for an action-packed hour of television only its for the mind, not the eyes.

township where Johan-nesburg-area blacks must live under South Africas apartheid laws usually stay home for the holidays.

One Soweto resident, Lavhutsi Luvhengo, wrote a letter to the townships newspaper, the Sowetan, urging blacks in that troubled, white-ruled land to ignore Christmas.

- Some of us can hardly celebrate our own birthdays, but we go out of our way to celebrate the birthday of a son of people who have oppressed and despised us, Luvhengo wrote. ... Christmas is a white issue and should have nothing to do with Africans."

As in other parts of the world, the African Christmas is marred this year by recession and one of the areas hardest hit is Soweto.

Time has knocked the spirit out of black Christmases, black journalist Doc Bikitsha wrote recently in Johannesburgs Rand Daily Mail. That feeling of anticipation and ex-, citement has gone because the pockets are empty and there is simply nothing to look foward to.

In Tanzania, a socialist country suffering its worst economic crisis in 21 years of independence, the most highly prized Christimas gifts this year are toilet paper, toothpaste, cooking oil and soap - items in short supply.

In Senegal, where there has been a French presence for 350 years, people parade through the narrow streets of St. Louis with lanterns on Christmas Eve, singing carols with both a French and West African flavor.

In other former French colonies in West Africa where there are still sizable European populations, much fuss is made over importing Christmas delicacies such as Belon oysters, fresh foie gras and turkeys - all by air and at enormous cost. A single oyster can cost the equivalent of $3.

Then on what is often the hottest, most humid day of the year in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, thousands of expatriate French sit down and gorge themselves at a Christmas dinner.

A visitor to the Seychelles, an archipelago of 92 tropical islands off Africas east coast, was jarred last week to hear a recording of White Christmas wafting throu^ the open-air marketplace in downtown Victoria, the islands capital.

On sale in the market stalls were the islands tropical products mangoes, cinnamon bark, vanilla extract and iridescent red snapper -but shopkeepers outlined their windows with spray-can snow.

In Kenyas Karura Forest, amid coffee and banana plantations and lavender-blossomed jacarando trees, visitors can tramp through the woods with a Forest Department ranger armed with a machete and select their own Christmas trees..

The World Christian Encyclopedia, a compendium

on Christendom compiled in Nairobi and publish by Oxford University Press, estimates there are 218 million Christians in Africa, a continent of more than 50 nations and about 485 million people. '

The birth of Christ, however. is mostly observed in east, southern and central Africa and largely ignored in wide swatches of Moslem West and North Africa.

The biblical nativity story has even worked its way into the Moslem-dominated Swahili folklore of Kenyas Indian Ocean coast. In one version, the virgin Mariamu

gives birth to a child under a long-dead date tree which suddenly blossoms. The child, Isa, grows up to be a great prophet.

Christmas is for everyone, remarked a Kenyan black, a member of the Ismaili Moslem segt. He said he goes to Christmas Mass at a Roman Catholic Church, to which he once belonged, and marks the holiday with a family feast of fish, chicken or beef.

Goat meat, he said, is reserved for Id-ul-Fitr, a Moslem holiday marking the end the month-long fast of Ramadan.

Defector Sees Threat To Life

WASHINGTON (AP) -Dr. Zdzislaw Ruran, the former Polish ambassador to Japan sentenced to, death in absentia by Polands military regime, says he expects that government to try and kill him.

There is no doubt about it, Rurarz said at a news conference in which he was flanked by U.S. security agents. There are no jokes in that system...We will see howit will workout.

But Rurarz said the death sentence ordered in Warsaw last Friday will not deter me in my efforts to unmask the true image of the Soviet Union and the traitorous junta it has imposed upon Poland.

The death sentence passed on me proves that 1 made the right decision when I asked for political asylyum in the United States a year ago, Rurarz said.

Urge Increased Aid For Israel^

DENVER (AP) - The Reform wing of Judaism says American aid to Israel benefits the United States and the cause of Mideast peace and urges the Reagan administration to increase such aid.

Israel constitutes the most dependable American

ally in the Middle East, said a board meeting of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. The Arab states will make peace with Israel

only if they recognize that the bond of friendship ... between our country and Israel isunshakeable.

An African Festival This weekend marks the beginning of Kwanza, the traditional African time of harvest festivals that run from December 26 to January 1. For the Bantu people of East Africa, Kwanza which means first fhiit in Swahili has been a time of celebration. In the mid-1960s, Afro-Americans began to celebrate this holiday in recognition of their cultural roots. Many American Blacks are descendants of the various Bantu groups which include the Zulu, the Swahili, and the Kikuyu. For Afro-Americans, Kwanza is a time to stress the importance of the unity of the Black family, and in some U.S. cities whole communities come together for the harvest feast called karamu, which is held on the seventh day of the holiday season.

The bridge expert cant do the impossible. All he can do is to make the most of his chances.

We are not sure that we approve of Souths decision to respond one no trump in preference to raising clubs. However, the end result left little to be desired. North had a problem with his rebid after West overcalled one spade. He had originally intended making a reverse bid of twp diamonds, but he opted instead to upgrade the value of the king of spades and make a practical jump to three no trump.

West led the top of his interior sequence in spades. Declarer played the king from dummy and East made the fine play of unblocking the jack. Declarers problem was not hard to see. He had to develop the club suit without allowing East to gain the lead, for a lead through his queen of spades was bound to be fatal. In addition.

he had to find^a ninth trick somewiiere.

Cashing the ace of clubs would not do. That would simply allow West to unblock the king, and thus permit East to win the second round of clubs.

Leading a diamond to the jack was equally futile. If East had the queen of diamonds, he could rise with it and revert to spades. After careful study, declarer found the one line of play th^t would allow him to make his contract he led a diamond and finessed his nine.

Prospects brightened considerably when West won this trick with the queen. West exited safely with a diamond. Declarer won in hand and led the jack of clubs. Whether West covered or not, the contract was safe. If he played the king, he would be allowed to hold the trick. If he followed low, declarer would rise with dummys ace and continue the suit. Either way, the contract was home.

Diet, Nutrition and Cancer

For many years doctwi have assiduously avoided discussions that centered around the relationship between food, diet, and illness. Many of us can recall that throughout the entire medical school curriculum there might have been half a dozen lectures on food, lectures that were ctmsidered to be a bore and a total waste of'time. Even the instructors seemed to consider this a total waste of their valuable time.

The educational process has completely shifted.

Df. Clifford Grobstein, chairman of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Diet, Nutritiwi and Cancer recently said, The evidence is increasingly impressive that what we eat does affect our chances of getting cancer. By controlling what we eat, we may prevent such diet-sensitive cancers. An ounce of preventim for at least part of the caiHr problem, as with smoking, may be on the horizon.

It is not yet possible to say how much of cancer incidence is linked to diet and how much the incidence of particular cancers might be reduced by dietary alteration.

The Cwnmittee of the National Academy of Sciences recommended a reduction in dietary intake (A all fats; salt-cured, salt-pickled, or smoked foods; and alcohol. The c(xn-mittee recanmended an increased consumption of citrus fruits and dark green and yellow vegetables to help cut the risk of some kinds of

Medicine News, feels that doctors must take into consideration each patiait individually when advising dietary changes. Not all the data is avaikble about the relationship between diet and cancer. These temporary guidelines should be used until more evidence is accumulated.

The [Mesent data seons to show an association between high fat intake and the risk of cancer of the colon, breast and panc^. Dr. Grobstein says that it is yet known why such a relatioi^iip exists.

It is speculated that the high vitamin C content of citrus fruits and the carotene content of green and yellow vegetables may be responsive for a reduced incidotce of certain cancers.

I should like to recall the fuss and furor that occurred npt many years ago idien Dr. Linus Pauling first had the temerity as a Nobel Prize winner in chemis^ to suggest a relationship between vitamin C and cancer..

With. great scientific acumen. Dr. Grobstein says, It is time to furtho' s^ead the message that cancer is not as inevitable as death and taxes. Appropriate personal dedsions and public health measures can reduce cancer risk and the social cost of human tragedy it entails.

Many areas are on the horizon for the scientific investigation of the relationship between foods and additives in every phase of health and disease.

Aver Guidelines Were Broken

W^HINGTON (AP) -The! National Consumer Cooperative Banks conflict of interest rules were broken wheji the organization granted a $5.2 million loan to remortgage a New York apartment building, concessional investigators say.

In^^a report issued this week, the General Accounting Office said the apparent confKct involved Frances J. Levenscm, a vice president of the New York Bank for Savings in New York City. From 1979 to 1981, she also was'a director of the co-op bank.

The New York Bank held a

mortgage on the Dunbar Apartments, an apartment complex in Harlem built by John D. Rockefeller in the 1920s. The national bank finances purchases of cooperative apartment complexes.

The GAO said it could appear that Ms. Levenson was using her position on the board to secure private gain for NYB, but it added that no evidence of such an act was f(Hind.

A Christinas Message

Many times during the year we fail to think of our fellow beings and are bound up in the pressure of business and the economic problems of our confused world. Too often, the holidays have passed without our realizing the seasons true meaning, or taking the time to consider our fellow beings and their problems. Your friends at Grant Buick DO feel the true meaning of Christmas and hope that this message will help to instill in each of your minds the purpose of Christmas. In closing, the employees of Grant Buick, Inc., wish you a very Merry Christmas and may God bless you and your family.

ECU News Bureau The East Carolina Univer-sity Symphonic Wind Ensemble has completed a tour of four schools in Virginia and Pennsylvania, Accompanying the group was their conductor, Herbert Carter of the ECU School of Music Faculty, and two smaller ECU ensembles -the ECU Percussion Ensemble, conducted by Harold Jones, and Jazz Bones, a jazz trombone group directed by George Broussard.

The ECU musicians presented a program of works by Persichetti, Gordon Jacob, H. Owen Reed, Percy Grainger, John Philip Sousa, and Leroy Anderson.

The Symphonic Wind Ensemble is the select touring band of the ECU School of Music, composed of advanced student instrumentalists.

This years winter tour included performances at Lake Braddock High School, Burke, Va., the Annandale, High School, Upper Moreland Middle School, Willow Grove, Pa., and Abington, Pa., High School.

teachers in the ever-recurring spirit of pleasure and excitement in a round of assembly programs, decorating and singing, all mixed in with the necessary classroom studies that go on even at festive times.

Younger children in the kindergarten, first, second and third grades at Eastern Elementary, at Sadie Saulter and at Third Street schools had a field day pooling their artistic talents to create drawings of toys, Santas, winter scenes, Christmas trees and quite often, their friends. These were displayed by teachers and teachers aides on bulletin boards in the classrooms, in libraries, cafeterias and hallways. Special projects involving a particular theme of Christmas were displayed on tables in libraries or in hallways.

Children a little older, in grades four, five and sue at Wahl-Coates and at South

Greenville, also had extensive homeroom decorations, with each child contributing their own art work. In these schools, too, trimming Christmas trees in the cafeterias and libraries were a joint project of students and teachers, as were decoration projects to brighten up hallways.

Middle School students decorated central trees in the school office and the library and decorated bulletin boards in classroms. A student assembly was held, with the school band providing music for the occasion. Additionally, one large party for all students was held before school let out for the holidays.

Junior high students at Aycock displayed their art talents in decorating trees in the library and cafeteria, and on classroom bulletin boards. Young musicians in the school performed in area public concerts.

At Rose High, the Christmas focus was basically on drama and music. A couple of weeks before Christmas, the drama club presented Dickens Christmas Carol, and the evening of Dec. 13, the band, orchestra and chorus presented a Christmas concert for the public. Portions of the concert were repeated later at a student assembly. A school Christmas tree in the cafeteria was decorated by students from each grade.

Students at Agnes Fullilove School had classroom parties and decorated a tree, the library and had art work displayed in the hallways of the school.

For all students, from the beginners in kindergarten classes to seniors at Rose, the last week of school before the Christmas holidays was a busy week, a very special time of year when all students join in making it a festive period of celebration.
