Merchants Report

Good Holiday Sales

Bv TOM BAINES Refledor Slaff Writer

Business activity in Greenville during the Christmas buying season appeared to meet the expectations of a cross-section of, merchants who generally reported another fruitful yar-end sales period.

While area merchants were not unanimous in praisjng their sales figures, many of those surveyed said that business volume at least met. if not exceeded, the results of last years banner holiday shopping season. One or two managers said they had not expected to top their 1983 figures but had generally met goals.

Area shoppers had a new mall to visit this year and some of the merchants contacted there felt that the major renovation project boosted overall shopper traffic at the complex. One mall tenant, while expressing slight disappointment in the volume of business at his store, attributed the problem to unseasonally warm weather during the key ten-day period before Christmas.

A businessman who has stores downtown and at the new mall said that sales w.ere good at both facilities with no particular category of merchandise standing out as hot sellers. The owner suggested that the new mall had resulted in increased traffic at his store.

The manager of a shopping center food-department store reported that sales volume was pretty much what

we expected at his business although he fell competition from new stores had affected this year's results. The spokesman, who hesitated to compare his sales with last year, said that hams and turkeys and other basic holiday food selections sold well.

Our season has been very good. said the manager of one of the large mall stores, who said the warm weather caused buying to slack off. He said sales prior to the warming trend had been exceptionally strong. Overall, the manager said December was living up to expectations.

The spokesman said the store had seen a great response in electronic products, with color televisions, video cassette recorders, dishwashers, and microwave ovens (which exceeded last years sales) among the popular selections. Wearing apparel sales ran about the same as last year, with bike purchases higher than anticipated.

Weve seen a good response in the mall as a whole. the manager said.

A local service center experienced a pretty good year with bike sales running about the same as last year, the manager reported. He said BMX dirt bikes were very popular and sales of go-carts doubled 1983 results. Exercisers also sold well and sets of new tires

Pitt, Greenville Residents Share Gifts With Needy

Robinson First Graders

Return Favor For Couple

ByMAKYC.SCIIULKEN Reflector Staff Writer

On a hot. dusty December day, a group of angels, shepherds, wise men. and elves began a journey from W.H. Robinson School to 123 W. Cooper St. in Wihterville.

The procession included Santa Claus, complete with red suit, white beard and freckles, and the baby Jesus in a manger.

The group carried a heavy load of brightly-wrapped gifts on their jaunt, precious gifts of hand cream, pot holders and candy. They came to rest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alton Hill.

For years, the Hills have been unofficial babysitters

for the Winterville community. They know everybody in the area and especially know everybodys children. The two have adopted more kids than the old lady in the shoe.

We just love children, Mrs. Hill said. Children are just wonderful to us. Every one that needed to be babysat, we babysat.

This Christmas, 27 first-graders at W.H. Robinson School turned the tables on the Hills. The students adopted the couple as grandparents and brought Christmas to the Hills home.

First, because Mrs. Hill has a leg problem that

Two hundred baskets filled with a week's worth of food have been delivered to needy fa miles in Pitt County for Christmas by St. Gabrieis* Catholic Church. The entire parish, which consists of 200 families, worked together to help the 200 needy families in the community.

This is just one example of local citizens sharing their love and concern with those less fortunate during this Christmas season, according to local agencies, churches and organizations. who say Greenville-area residents have been generous in their donations of food and toys for needy people in the community.

' The Rev. Jerry Sherba of St. Gabriels said, We more than doubled the number of baskets distributed last year. The parish helped over 700 people in Greenville and Pitt County with the donations of food and toys, he said.

The project began two years ago when the parish delivered 14 food baskets, Sherba said. Last year, 70 baskets were given to the needy by the parish.

This year we were shooting for 100, but we met that goal early, Sherba said.

A grocery list tailored for each familys size was compiled, as well as lists of toys and clothes wanted by the family members. The baskets, toys and stockings made and filled by the high school youth group were delivered after Sunday Mass.

Local businesses donated money as well as food. he sais, but most of the gifts were purchased by parishoners.

Helping those less fortunate has made Christmas much more realistic for the children in the parish, Sherba said. The children shared with other children their own age. This project bridges the gap between giving and sharing.

It has been an intergenerational Christmas endeavor, he added. Little children, adults and senior citizens in the parish have helped. It has already become a traditional Christmas event for the parish.

Ellen Gray, supervisor of adult services for the Pitt County Department of Social Services, said many donations of food and money

have come into her department this Christmas.

We have had a good response this Christmas season, she said. We feel that we have remembered most

She ^i^ organizations such as the Greenville Service League and industries such as Procter and Gamble were generous this year, as well as ECU students, like Tyler Dormitory residents, and churches such as Jarvis Mferaorial United Methodist Church and St. Peters Catholic Church.

Holiday In Jail Can Be Difficult

By SUE HINSON Reflector Staff Writer Perhaps no one is more acutely aware of the passing of Christmas than those who will spend this holiday and holidays to follow in the states prisons.

While those on the outside are sharing the joys of Chrismas with loved ones, the dawn of Christs birth will find many of the states prisoners alone.

According to Chaplain David Morton of the Eastern Correctional Center in Maury, Christmas is difficult for prisoners because feelings of isolation from family and friends are heightened during the holiday season. They dont have that freedom that others have ... the freedom to come and go as they please, to visit with family and friends ... and this places an added burden on inmate, Morton said.

Morton said the Christmas season often finds him as well as other prison employees and volunteers helping inmates deal with the guilt and

disappointments associated with prison life. This guilt and disappointment or

excess baggage, Morton said, comes to the forefront holidays. Prisoners actually go through a form of grieving celebrating at the same time, he explained.

Morton is in charge of providing counsel and arranging religous services for the correctional centers 450 inmates - all male felons over the age of 21. Morton emphasized, however, that the inmates, whose sentences vary from short term to life, are all human.

Sometimes we of normal society make them into objects. Theyre not that at all. Theyre just common folks with common needs.

The prison is such an enclosed area that people sometimes dont really understand the dynamics of life here and therefore tend to view the inmates as monsters of sorts. But our folks are just as human as anyone else, he said.

Morton said prison employees try to help inmates cope with escalating

reelings of isolation, guilt and

feelings of depression by talking about disappqintment with prisoners and by arranging activities designed''to lessen their loneliness.

The past week has been filled with block parties, special visitation privileges and musical procrams by both inside and outsRk groups, according to Morton. He said approximately 5,000 Uaidr C3iristmas cards were also passed out for inmates to send to family and friends in recent weeks.

Morton added that inmates will be invited to a special communion service Christmas morning and to a later afternoon service that will include pristm volunteers. "The volunteers are such a large part of life around here, and tte prisoners love fcnr them to come out and work ^th them so much that it would be a shame to leave them out, Morton said. He added that a chorus composed of 10 inmates even performed a pr^ram of Christmas hymns and ' carols for volunteers Dec. 21.

Tour Showed Christmas Ideas

"Trim the Tree Picnic was in progress at the decorated home of Dr. and Mrs. Douglas Jones during a recent table setting tour sponsored by the Dig n Delve Garden Club.

The picnic was spread under the tree placed in the den. Black lacquered bamboo trays and a black |)icnic basket held wines, breads and fruits and for serving, white china. The picnic was placed on an antique coverlet which was made by Mrs. Jone great-great-great-grandmot her. The wool was spun and woven by her from sheep raised on their farm. Around the base of the tree was an antique coverlet which had belonged to Paul Scotts grandmother. The idea was carried through by Mrs. Scott and Judy Murad.

An old-fashioned Christmas breakfast made a cheerful setting in the breakfast room. Cranberry juice picked up the red colors of the old Santa which surrounded the centerpiece of long sticks of cinnamon and holly. Antique wide gold band china was used on the table with a gold band coffee pot. cream and sugar. Red Christmas napkins contrasted to the white place mats. Mrs. Richard Stallings. Mrs. Charles Stevens and Mrs. .Allen Taylor were in charge of arrangements.'

The centerpiece on the dining room table featured colorfully wrapped gifts highlighted by a ceramic sled bringing home the Christmas tree Silver candlesticks and red candles, silver goblets tied with red bows and holly and Christmas china set in brass service plates were placed on a Swiss embroidered cloth. Long branches of green jumper, white tipped pine cones and holly were laced around the centerpiece. Mrs. Max Joyner,

Vloms Eccentric Self-Denial Puzzles, Angers Her Family

By Abigail Van Buren

' 1984 by unnersai Press Syndicate

DEAR ABBY: I just received a huge box from my mother. It cost her a small fortune to send it. In it were bags of potato chips, cookies, candy, cake mix, macaroni and cheese mix, and a pile of clothing she found at garage sales. There were also several books in Norwegian and toys for a babys bath.

I am 45 years old and on a perpetual diet. Not one piece of clothing IS my size or suits my taste. I don't read Norwegian, and my 'baby is a freshman in college!

Mother knows were all on diets, none of us likes polyester tops or double-knit pantseven if they were the right size.

What can she be thinking of, sending my 150-pound daughter a pink knit suit in a size 6'.

.My mother is a widow living alone on a tiny fixed income. Ive sent her checks, but she sends them back. (She does the same with my brothers.) It pains me to know that she has skimped on food for herself to send me this stuff. Weve asked her to skip the presents and use the money to come for a visit, but she pays no attention.

She returns our lovely gifts for Mothers Day, her birthday and Christmas, asking us to use the money for our own families. (She thinks were hard up; were not!)

How can I get her to stop? Im really angry. Answer in the paper and Ill send her the clipping.

FRUSTRATED DAUGHTER

your female readers who are concerned about their privacy in the dressing rooms of department stores, this simple test will quickly determine whether there are two-way mirrors installed.

Place the point of an ordinary pencil to the surface of the mirror, and observe the reflection. If the reflection of the pencil point touches the pencil, its a two-way mirror through which you can be observed from the other side.

If theres a distance of approximately 1 /8 to 1/4 of an inch between the actual point and the reflected image, its proof that its a one-way mirror, and privacy is assured.

J. LOGAN, LOUISVILLE, KY.

DEAR FRUSTRATED: Dont send her this clipping. Instead, haive a meeting with your bioth-ers to discuss what I perceive to be a serious problem. Your mother obviously is no longer able to make intelligent decisions. Please visit her as soon aa possible and see how she is. Your letter suggests that perhaps the time has come when your mother should not be living alone.

Punch and cookies for children were placed on a round table covered with a red cloth with a candy cane striped ruffle. Punch was served from an antique white ironstone bowl nestled in a wreath of holly and boxwood. A matching platter held an assortment of cookies.

DEAR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW: I have no sympathy for welfare cheats, but did you discuss your suspicions with your mother-in-law and warn her that youd turn her in if she didnt stop?

If so, then I would say you were motivated only by your desire to help the needy.

DEAR J.: A big thank-you for the privacy test. Its a citizens right to know whether he or she is being observed.

DEAR ABBY: For two years I have struggled with this question: Should I turn in a woman I believe to be guilty of welfare fraud?

The case: A woman who is perfectly capable of working has been receiving welfare assistance for over eight years. Every time I pay taxes, I think of this homeowner, whose teen-ager attends a private school, and whose four dogs and two cats eat better than some people.

I made my decision while watching the news on TV and saw people in our nation going without Thanksgiving dinner, while this woman and her children ate heartily.

Sickened, 1 realized how many families would go without help on Christmas because of gluttons like this woman and her family, so I turned her in this morning.

Views On Dental Health

Kenneth T. Perkins, D.D.S.PA

FOLLOWING THE CONTOUR

When you have a crown made to protect a tooth thats been badly damaged by decay, your dentist will pay special attention to the relationship of the surrounding teeth and how they follow the lines of your lips

Hell also study the natural color of your teeth. When the crown is made, it can be covered with a natural-looking material, such as acrylic or porcelain. This is important when the crown is on one of your front teeth. When you open your mouth to speak or smile, youll feel cosmetically secure if the tooth

has a natural look.

Your dentist will also spend a lot of time shaping the crowned tooth so the contour will look natural as well as perfectly matching the shade of your other teeth. It should also properly support the shape of your lips. Care will be taken so that your face will keep its natural look and not change in any way.

Your dentist is not only concerned about the good health of teeth and gums. Hes cohccrned about your personal appearance, too.

STRIPED AFGHAN IS WARM PROJECT FOR NEW YEAR

Dear Readers: Merry, merry Christmas to one and all! Mthough I do not know you, I have a veiy warm feeling about each of you who read this column as we share a love of needlework and I know from those I have met that needlecrafters are very special people.

Many of you have spent the last few months busily making beautiful items to decorate your home and creating lovely gift items for your friends and family. Now you can sit back and share the joy you have spread around so generously.

Once the holidays are over, most of you will want to plunge right into another project. So I thought I would share an af^an pattern sent to me by Evelyn Kemmerling of Massillon, Ohio, as a little gift from Evelyn and me.

To make an afghan measuring 42 inches by 62 inches plus fringe, you will need approximately 44 ounces of turquoise yarn or any color you wish and 16 ounces of white in knitting worsted weight. The yarn is used double throughout.

Evelyn used a size 6 wooden hook, which I believe is the equivalent of a size Q plastic or aluminum hook. The hook size, however, should be determined by your tension in crocheting, so use any size hook that will give you a gauge of 3 stitches per inch with 7 rows equaling 4 inches.

With the darker color, chain 186 stitches. Work one half-double crochet in the third chain from the hook and in each remaining chain, across. Chain 2 and turn.

For the next row, work one halfdouble crochet in each stitch across the row, passing the hook under only the back loop of each stitch; chain 3 and turn. This last row is repeated throughout for the desired length of the afghan, following the striping pattern given below or any striping pattern you choose. You may want to work it in multiple colors. Anything goes!

Striping pattern: Work the first 10 rows with the darker color, then work two rows with the lighter color. Follow this with four rows of a tweed, which is created by using One strand of the dark shade and one strand of the light shade.

Repeat this stripe pattern four times more until you have worked a total of 80 rows. The stripes run vertically along the length of the afghan.

You can use any type of fringing you desire, but Evelyn says she uses six 24-inch strands doubled over and then triple knotted, which results in a fringe about 4 3/4inches long. She places a fringe set at both ends of every other row; using 40 sets in all on each end.

For a childs afghan, for which Evelyn suggests cherry red and white, you will need 36 ounces of red and 12 ounces of white. It is started

The wedding of Dianne Pridgen Melson and tony Earl Evans was performed by the Rev. Ray Williamson Sunday afternoon in a double ring, candlelight ceremony at two oclock.

Wedding music was provided by Jasa Allen of Greenville, pianist. She also sang The Wedding Prayer. Trina Elks of Bell Arthur sang "Truly and Phil Lewis joined her in singing Endless Love.

Given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father, the bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David F. Pridgen of Fountain. She wore a traditional floor length gown which featured an empire waistline with full length sleeves accented with lace appliques and pearls. The skirt flowed into a chapel train and the hemline was edged in lace. Her three-quarter length veil fell from a tiara of lace encrusted with pearls. She carried a cascade of red and white roses surrounded by white daisies.

The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin L. Evans of Greenville.

B.J. Pridgen, sister of the bride of Fountain, was maid of honor and wore a tea length dress of red polyester silk which featured a scalloped waistline with a belt. She carried a bouquet of red roses, carnations and white daisies with white ribbon.

The bridesmaids were Teresa Anderson and Sheila Peaden, sisters of the bride, Kay Gay, sister of the bridegroom, and Julie Crocker. Their dresses were like that of the honor attendant and each carried red carnations and white daisies with white ribbon.

A white basket of red carnations and white daisies was carried by flower girl, Vicki Renae Melson of Fountain, daughter of the bride. She wore a long red polyester silk dress which featured a scalloped waistline. She also passed out rice bags.

David Earl Pridgen of Fountain, brother of the bride, was ring bearer.

The father of the bridegroom was best man and ushers included Tim Anderson of Ayden and Wayne Peaden of Bell Arthur, brother-in-laws of the bride. Spencer Gay of Greenville, brother-in-law of the bridegroom, and Greg DeLong of Winterville.

The mother of the bride wore a tea length dress of cream polyester

which featured a lace neck and sleeves. The mother of the bridegroom wore a tea length dress of blue polyester with sheer sleeves. Both were honored with corsages of red roses and a long-stemmed red rose. Grandmothers were remembered with a corsage of red carnations.

Vivian Bridgers of Farmville presided at the guest book and passed out scrolls. Emma Lee of Four Oaks and Geraldine Moseley of Greenville, aunts of the bride, directed the wedding.

The couple will travel to the mountains for a wedding trip after the Christmas holidays.

The bride is employed by Fountain Apparel and the bridegroom is employed by Heilig Meyers.

The couple will live near Fountain.

A reception was held in the church fellowship building. A centerpiece of red poinsettias and white roses with matching candelabra decorated the table. June Walston served cake and Teresa DeLong poured punch. Emma Lee. Geraldine Street, Peggy Dunn. Vivian Bridges and other relatives assisted.

The couple remembered their attendants with gifts at an afterrehearsal dinner Saturday night.

June and Bob Beckett have been carving and dressing wooden dolls since 1976. They live in Deer Lodge, Tenn.. but extend their talents throughout the country through dolls shows and symposiums.

"Our wooden dells came about because I collect dolls and have for 20 years. Collection gave me a balance and proportion. I made by first wooden doll about 1 years ago. Bub helped me learn about machinery and he soon Tame into the business, said Mrs Beckett.

Before Bob came into the business, he made a doll once in a while just for fun just to try it out, she said.

I started carving when I was 10-11 years old. My first dolls were too adult, he added.

You have to learn what is a child. Children are not miniature adults neither in personality or physical appearance. Mrs. Beckett said.

The couple studies individual children to use their features in the future. Making dolls is an illusion of a person - what you create is an illusion. The public often sees similar features in our dolls and compare them to people they know.

The Becketts' have a seamstress and their doll clothes are originals, sewn with their tags. Their dolls include angels, clowns and character children.

As woodcarvers, we bring to dollmaking some of the elements of nature itself. We both love the feel of wood - its the inspiration that

causes us to enjoy our form of art. The jelutong wood, from Malaysia, we use is selected for the basic skin tone. Oil-based colors are used for painting the features, then the wood is sealed with acrylic spray. The

color of the clothing is chosen to complement the wood used, he said.

The couples production of wooden bears began in 1982. The bears are a direct result of the bear I had a child. We use mostly jelutong wood from Malaysia with cloth bodies for some and all-wood design for others. Each bear is marked BB for Beckett Bears. Sizes are approximate and will vary. Some of the bodies are made from fabric from old coats and my favorite is camel hair. We have youngster and oldster bears and each bear group is named according to where we got the coat or its label, said Mrs. Beckett.

We dont know what the future holds. Now our business is making wood dolls and wooly bears, she said.

And It Came To Pass

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 born 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 highest, 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.

Luke 2:10-20

Holiday Wish

Once again we observe the final great holiday of a year, Christmas. It is the celebration of a birthday, and like a number of other holidays it is not the actual birthdate of the Christchild.

December 25 is said to have been arbitrarily chosen by early Christians, and the story goes, that because December 25 was a pagan (Roman) holiday, it was settled upon as a means of further pushing paganism into the background. If that was the case, it worked.

We are assured the year Christ was born came within :he reigns of Augustus and Herod; but even that let L a margin for error that could involve years.

There was a star, too, that guided travelers from afar to BethleHem. Astronomers have wondered about that. Herod, who lived much closer to the scene than those who followed the star, was apparently unaware of the star or its significance.

Those are only the lesser mysteries of Christmas. Your minister will tell you about the greater mysteries involving love and peace that are intrinsic with the Christian holiday. Share them for your happiness.

We join in wishing you a happy holiday.

Putting Things In Perspective

WASHl.NGTON - Here in the capital the demonstrations continue out on Massachusetts Avenue. A little after 3 oclock every weekday afternoon, 30 or 40 marchers assemble near the Embassy of South Africa. For an hour they walk in a tidy minuet. At 4:30 the three honorees of the afternoon step politely through the police lines. They approach the embassys door and symbolically seek entrance. Finally they link arms and accept an escort to waiting police sedans. A few minutes later, after the TV crews have departed, the demonstration dissolves.

These tableaux have all the spontaneity of Dresden clocks. In times past I have covered other demonstra-tions, by coal miners, school teachers, air traffic controllers and striking utility workers. They exhibited real passion. By contrast, the neatly choreographed performances

befo.*% the embassy seem not to come from the heart, but from Central Casting. Indeed, the executive producer of these late afternoon soaps has fallen into the language of show biz. Asked about his list of arrestees, he replied earlier this month that he was booked through Christmas.

These are demonstrations carefully geared to a society that feeds upon fast food. They are as thin as a sheet of newsprint, ephemeral as the image on a TV screen, but they have bwn marvelously effective. They have caused many Americans to think seriously about South Africa for the first time in their lives; they have prompted the president to speak more forcefully to this issue than he ever has spoken before. The producers and stage managers have much credit coming to them.

So let us think together. I would direct thought toward a couple of old

ideas. One old idea is that the mores of any society the morally binding customs by which a society is identified - tend to evolve slowly. Another old idea is that within such an evolution, certain aspects of human nature remain fixed and constant.

The United States has known precisely such an evolution in its own race relations. I think back 30 years and 30 years is the merest tick of times clock to the mores that characterized Richmond, Mobile and Atlanta in 1954. Every public institution was rigidly segr^ated: schools, larks, restaurants, theaters, ibraries, hospitals, streetcars. But the winds of change, unfelt or ignored. had been blowing for at least a hundred years. The evolutionary process was in motion. With a couple of powerful shoves from the Supreme Court and the Congress, the structure

of state-sanctioned segregation began to topple. Nothing of the stnijc-ture now remains. -

When I first visited South Africa w years ago, I found in Pretma aftd Cape Town the mores of Richmond and Mobile greatly magnified. It wa the same rigid segregation of the races. But as a 60 Minutes documentary made clear last Sunday evening, things change and attitudes evolve. It is too much to say that South Africas structure is toppling, but the slow process of desegregation is in motion.

My second old idea is that persons who hold power seldom surrender power willingly. Men fight for what they have. It is folly to suppose that the power structure in South Africa peaceably will swallow black majority rule. 'The situation in South Africa is unlike the situation elsewhere in Africa. When Britain yielded on Rhodesia, the white Rhodesians, if they wished, could go home to England. The Portuguese who left Mozambique and Angola could go home to Portugal. The Belgians who abandoned the Congo could go home to Belgium. But South Africas 5 million whites already are home. They are no ones colonials. They will never abandon their political power without a desperate struggle.

If such a struggle is to be avoided

a struggle even bloodier than our own civil war of 1861-65 the best minds of all South Africa must be encouraged to seek peaceful alternatives. The concept of homelands seems to be working poorly, but at least it addressed the reality that the loyalties of most South African blacks are not national, but rather tribal. One man, one vote is not a solution; it is a motto; it is something for ideologues to wear on their sleeves.

Ppatience. This is the oldest idea of all. Let us keep things in perspective

- the perspective of time, the perspective of other oppressions elsewhere - and let us now and then contemplate the beam in our own eye before we castigate the mote in Pretorias.

Reagan's Unity Line Keeps Cracking

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan wants unity on the Western front for next months critical arms control talks with the Soviet Union, but occasional cracks are getting in the way.

Essentially, all the key allies Britain. France, Wek Germany and Italy are behind the cautious approach Secretary of State George P.Shultz evidently will take in his Jan. 7-8 talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko.

They are pleased, as a British source said Saturday, that "the alliance held firm during the year-long suspension in U.S.-Soviet negotiations. In their assessment, the Kremlin failed to put the onus on the Reagan administration among Europeans who live under the constant threat of nuclear war.

U.S. strategy was to offer no concessions to the Soviets to return to the bargaining table at Geneva. Allied leaders backed Reagan in this patient approach, and it worked.

But the presidents controversial Star Wars program and the possibility it will be adopted as an alternative to deterring Soviet aggression through "mutual terror - has caused some division.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher found herself walking a tightrope between the imperatives of allied unity on the one hand and her concerns about the militarization of outer space on the other.

After meeting in London a week ago with Mikhail S. Gorbachev, a rising star in the Soviet Politburo, she voiced those concerns. "I think one does not want to go into a higher and higher level ofafmaments, she said.

But amid reports her remarks signaled an Anglo-American rift, Mrs. Thatcher declared her emphatic support for futuristic research and sought to draw a line between it and actual deployment which clearly is years away.

"We await the results of research, but dont lets us assume the existing system has failed, the British source, who insisted on anonymity, said Saturday.

"It could be argued that the existing basis of deterrence has been brilliantly successful, not merely in preventing nuclear war, but in preventing, also, conventional war, certainly in Europe and between the major powers.

This view conflicts with the administrations theory that depending on long-range nuclear

weapons to keep the peace is both inhumane and dangerous.

Behind the conflict is concern in Western Europe that an America protected by an anti-missile shield might be less inclined to defend the allies.

We would argue that the present balance of terror is extremely successful, and whats more it has kept the peace for 40 years, which is a very long period of peace, the British source said.

Administration officials acknowledge the Strategic Defense Initiative has not been all that popular among allied leaders. But they insist initial reservations have dissolved. Our allies are on the same wavelength, a senior U.S. official said Friday.

The Europeans have come to see that the Star Wars research program is necessary and desirable, he said.

Reagans meeting Saturday with Mrs. Thatcher was part of the carefully managed U.S. drive for unity. It followed a similar pep session with Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West Germany and a briefing of allied ministers in Brussels by Shultz. Next in line for the treatment is Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone.

Little Change In Soviets Expected

.MOSCOW <AP) - The appointment of Marshal Sergei L. Sokolov as the new defense minister is not expected to change Moscows military policy or affect coming arms control talks with the United States.

Western diplomats in Moscow said Saturday that although they know little about Sokolovs views, his 52 years in the Soviet army and 17 years as first deputy defense minister mark him as a traditional Sov iet military man.

"Its a conservative, predictable choice. said one Western diplomat, who spoke on condition he not be further identified.

Marshal Dmitri F. Ustinov, 76. who died Thursday, was the first Soviet civilian to get that job since Leon Trotskys 1918-25 tenure. Ustinov made his mark in arms development and production.

Before the Soviet news agency Tass announced that the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet had picked Sokolov for the job. speculation had centered on another civilian. Politburo member Grigori V. Romanov.

However, a Western European diplomat, who also spoke on condition he not be identified, said of Sokolov's appointment; I don't think its unusual or surprising, the defense minister has often bwn a soldier or someone high in the Defense Ministry.

Addressing the Revolution Day parade in Moscow in November, after Ustinov fell ill. Sokolov made traditional Soviet attacks on Western arms policies. He said the strengthening of the defense potential of our motherland is the first civil obligation and ptriotic duty of every Soviet pershn.

Such statements reflect the traditional balance between the powerful

military and politics in the Soviet Union, a balance Sokolov is not expected to upset.

Western diplomats said his choice appeared to be a conservative step by an aging Kremlin hierarchy anxious to avoid radical change and emphasize collective leadership.

Unlike Marshal Nikolai V. Ogarkov, who was dismissed as a first deputy defense minister and chief of staff last September after an unusual individual call for revamping conventional forces, Sokolov has not stepped outside the bounds of collective leadership.

One Western diplomat said Sokolov was believed to have fulfilled an administrative rather than command role in his Defense Ministry job. reporting direct to the defense minister rather than through military channels.

He will be familiar with key defense decisions made over the >ast 17 years, a period of huge luildup by the Soviet military. However, he does not have the political clout to take the military in new directions.

Ustinov and Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko are believed to have played a major part in formulating the Soviet Unions arms control policies, including the recent decision to talk about arms control with U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz in Geneva next month.

Ustinov was a deputy member of the ruling PoHtburo beginning in 1965, and he became a full member in 1976. the year he became defense minister.

Sokolov does not have a seat in the Politburo, but he has been a member of the Communist Party Central Committee since 1968.

The dispute between the United

States and the Soviet Union over arms control, and the likely escalation of the arms race if new talks fail are the major problems facing Sokolov in his new job.

He also inherits a 5-year-old war in predominantly Moslem Afghanistan, where an estimated 120,000 Soviet troops are helping the pro-Soviet government fight insurgents.

Sokolov also takes over as Soviet economic resources are being stretched between increasing con

sumer demands and the continuing heavy burden of keeping pace with the United States militarily.

Both political and military leaders repeatedly pledge that the United States will never gain military superiority. Sokolov can be expected to plead the military's case forcefully in private, while publicly toeing whatever line is decided by the Communist Party leadership in the Kremlin.

Strength For Today

Isaiah, one of the great Old Testament prophets, greeted King Hezekiah; ^who came to the throne during Isaiahs lifetime, in terms generally considered to be a prophecy of the coming of Christ. In this Christmas season it is appropriate for us to recall the glorious characteristics Isaiah ascribed to this great Messiah.

He said, first of all, that this Messiah would be wonderful. We believe that Jesus was the only person who ever lived a completely perfect life. This man was

the incarnation of Gods righteousness. We believe him to have been one whh the Father and with the human race which he served.

When Jesus came down from the Mount of Transfiguration, his face shone, and through the centuries his figure has been resplendent with light and gjory. He is truly Wonderful. Throughout the centuries he has excited in all Christians eveiy emotion of reverence and admira*

Sandinstas Bet On Sugar Refinery to Help Economy

L c Inii/iA omniintc nf hadi

Bv KLOY 0. .\(il ILAR Associated Press Writer MALACATOYA, Nicaragua <AP - More than 300 Cubans, scores of West and East European technicians and some Japanese are here building Central America s largest sugar refinery - a gamble by the San-dinista government on Nicaragua's economic future.

The $350 million project is a bet by the Sandinistas that the world sugar market will rebound from its current low. Sugar on the world market now is four cents a pound while the cost of producing it in Nicaragua is 15 cents a pound The schedule calls tor Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to open the project the day after his inauguration as president Jan. 10.

The Timal refinery will be at the center of an area of nearly 50.000 acres in the semi-arid plains 20

miles east of Managua, the national capital.

It is a complex project that includes a dam on the Malacatoya River to be used as a source of irrigation and hydroelectric power to help reduce Nicaraguas dependence on petroleum imports. The refinery will produce its own power through the burning of sugar cane bagasse and also will contribute to the energy supply for nearby towns.

Also planned is the construction of a plant for the production of gasohol and other derivates from sugar cane.

Help on the project came largely from communist-bloc nations.

The refinery was to be the fourth of 1 planned by the Cuban government for its own sugar industry

"W'e needed help and this is what they offered us." Denis Quezada.

In addition, inmates will receive gifts Christmas morning provided by communitv churches, area religious associations and Greene, Lenoir and Pitt county residents. Needv residents of the outside world will receive gifts from the prisoners as well.' There are a few inmates working within their units to secure these gifts." Morton explained Last year, he said, inmates gave food received from their own families to others in Greene County. Prisoners also took up a collection for an older lady in the community who was in financial trouble. , ^

Yet no matter how many activities are planned to put inmates in the Christmas spirit and no matter how much time is spent dealing with inmates' feelings of separation, Morton said the isolation issue stilt stands.

"But if we continue our work here, he said, "perhaps we can help some of these men who have been destructive all of their lives discover new ways of living.

director of the industrial plant, said in an interview.

Machinery worth $50 million was brought in from Cuba as part of a 20-year loan with a five-year grace period, Quezada said.

The rest of the money and machinery came mostly from communkt-bloc countries including East Germany, Bulgaria and the Soviet Union, but help also came from France, Sweden and Japan. Austria and Brazil also have provided assistance in the design of the irrigation system, and some machinery was bought in the United Statesand installed by American technicians.

The dam will store of 4.9 billion cubic feet of water, out of which 3.5 billion will be used for irrigation. The dam. about 40 miles from the refinerv, is expected to be ready beforethe rainy season starts next Mav.

The refinery itself will have a capacity to process 250 million pounds of sugar a year.

Nicaragua expects to produce this vear 550 million pounds of sugar, making it one of the most important dollar earners after coffee and cotton.

About half of the sugar will be exported, most of it to Eastern Europe and the Middle East with the exception of a quota of 12 million | pounds that will be sold on the U.S. market.

That sugar - just 10 percent of previous quotas - is sold to the United States at a preferred price of 22 cents a pound. 18 cents above the world price. The United States sets quotas on its imports of sugar but it buys the sugar at prices above those

In 1983, as its relations with Nicaragua deteriorated, the United States reduced Nicaraguas sugar quota by 90 percent.

war that brou^t'the Sandinistas to power, and it has continued to deteriorate. Evidence ranges from a widening trade deficit to scarcity of basic goods.

Nicaraguan officials are confident the cyclic depression of the world sugar market will be over soon and their investment here will result in

large amounts of badly neded foreign reserves.

A couple of good years in the world market and they will be OK, said a Western diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity for protocol reasons. The project is reaHy not necessarily a white elephant.

requires rest at home, the children made plans to travel to the Hills' house to jierform their Christmas play. Next, they decided each child should bring a gift to the adopted couple, one the> purchased with money earned doing chores at home and school.

Finally, after weeks of practice, on Dec 18 the youngsters donned their costumes for the program and walked the six blocks to the Hill's house, laden with gifts. In the couple's living room the Christmas story came alive

The fingers of a blind student brought the familiar words to life as his classmates played their roles and sang carols

".Aren't they precious'." .Mrs. Hill said as the children began their program. They are just so sweet. " Attemrar(is. adopted grandma and grandpa sal on the floor by the Christmas tree, surrounded by children, and opened their gifts. Grandpa got a shake-em-up Santa scene with snow; grandma got pot holders. They shared a chocolate-iced poundcake made by a parent The students' visit was "a wonderful, wonderful. Christmas surprise. " she said "It was very heartwarming for both of us. It just made our Christmas. It near about fixik our hearts out "I love children so much and .Alton loves them just as

much as I do. she said "It pleased us to see the schools are participating in the community and we were very happy to be adopted. We don't want to be un adopted. she added.

The Hills said the students concern for their blind classmate touched them deeply. "The way they involved the blind student was overwhelming, Mrs. Hill said.

The children were so well-behaved and their concern for him was very touching. They were very in touch with him."

"The Hills are very special people." the schocil's assistant principal Althea Weathington. also a Win-terville resident, said. "They have for years been unpaid community babysitters and have been so good to the children of Wint'erville. The first-graders decided they'd do something special for the couple and 1 think giving gifts they had to earn money for was a very special project.

In addition to being babysitters Mr. Hill raised rabbits for many years and shared them with neighborhood children, which residents say endeared him to kids.

The Hills said they planned a "a quiet Christmas day, "Our daughter is here from Florida." Mrs. Hill said. "What we plan is to enjoy her and our grandson and be thankful for everyhthing we have, "

quality. ,,

The manager at another mall department store said sales in general have been fairly good, but he felt the warm weather was a big factor in reducing activity the week prior to Christmas. He said traffic and sales at his store were about the same as last year, although he had expected more as a result of the enclosed shopping facility. The manager was quick to say that sales would probably be down if it were not for the new mall and its convenience to shoppers.

I Sweaters were very popular gift choices, he said, in all-cotton, sleeveless and embroidered styles. Catalogue sales and the more expensive items moved well as customers seemed to search for quality merchandise this vear, he said.

W hile sales at a local bookstore were generally a little off from last vear. the manager said he was comparing figures with an unusually good 1983. He said sales picked up during the latter part of December this year so the overall figure would probably improve.

Hot sellers at the store were personalized stationery, anything with a bear on it. and anything scented, intiluding drawer liners and hangers. The spokesman said perhaps the best seller was a windshield ice scraper with built-in mittens.

The manager, who also runs another book and supply store in the downtown area, said sales of sportswear and related items there were up significantly from last year. He said downtown area business is more student related and affected when those students leave for the holidays.

A spokesman at a local furniture store said, "We gave had a good month. Business has been extremely strong. Last vear was unreal and were staying 10 percent ahead of last year. He pointed to a "fantastic November, which sometimes bleeds over into December.

La-Z-Boy rockers were extremely strong sellers as the store experienced its best year for those chairs, he said. Bedroom furniture also sold well, "but really theres been a good mix.

The spokesman said shoppers definitely purchased better quality goods, expressing a desire for the best value, regardless of price. Shopper traffic was "extremely heavy this year, he said, with big sales anticipated for the last weekend before Christmas.

"From July 1 until today (Dec. 20), were about 20 percent ahead of our best figures ever, which was last vear. he said. "1 really think that if anybody cant 'make it in the retail business here, they cant make it anywhere. We (Greenville) have a real strong economy.

Business was also strong at another shopping center store, the manager said, with traffic and sales up from 1983. Popular items this year were transformers (a toy that can be turned into different shapes). Cabbage Patch

dolls, name brand clothing, and military-type toys.

People see what they want and buy it, the manager said People just pretty much know what they want to buy and go get it. There are more people working this year, so if they see it and the price is right, theyll buy.

The week before Christmas, the auxiliaries of Mount Calvary Free Will Baptist church sponsored Christmas dinners and parties and invited needy families to participate.

was "unbelievable and heavy sales were anticipated

for the last weekend before Christmas. ...

Shopper traffic was higher this year although sales in certain areas, such as outer wear, were hindered by the weather. While coat sales were down, sweaters were popular as gift items. Also selling strong were microwave ovens and cooking equipment, as well as the stores furniture selections.

Best sellers for men were sport coats, shirts, ties and pants, while slacks, skirts, blouses and coordinated outfits were popular for the ladies.

Sales were "marvelous at two temporary specialty cheese shops operated by a firm at each of the local malls, according to a manager. She said the chain has experienced a 40 percent rise in sales for the whole network of 14 satellite stores and six permanent facilities. Greenville shops, she reported, recorded the highest sales percentage.

We are very satisfied with what we are doing (in Greenville) this year, the manager said, adding that customers have come from as far away as the coast to purchase items the shops are known for. She said shoppers are looking for quality products and are willing to pay for the best.

A gift shop that relocated from the doWntown area to the newly enclosed mall enjoyed a good sales season, according to the manager, who said imported Avanti stuffed animals sold almost as fast as they were made available. Marusca silkscreened prints on cloth and shell wall hangings were also popular.

The manager said items that were not big sellers downtown are selling well at the mall and store personnel are having to learn what customers want to buy. She said a lot of customers apparently shopped at her store, visited other shops and then returned to make purchases.

Business was better than last Christmas at a local discount store, the manager said, with telephones and appliances among the best selling items. "Theres a whole lot of traffic. Were constantly busy and expect it to get busier in the next couple of days, he said on Dec.

A spokesman at a mall drug store said business was good during Christmas, but not as good as he had anticipated. "But there is still a few days to go and I think it will pick up. he said last week. The spokesman said he expected Dec. 22 (Saturday) to be the best day the store has ever had.

"Everything is moving, he said. I cant put my finger on one particular item. Theres lots of traffic, but not as much as last year. I think the warm weather makes the difference.

A local toy store spokesman said Cabbage Patch dolls were in heavy demand again this year and the business could not keep enough in stock, running out long before Christmas. Easy-Bake Ovens and G.l. Joe dolls were popular at the store.

Thatcher Earns Spot As Dominant Figure

By MARK s. SMITH Associated Press Writer LONDON < AP) In one of her busiest weeks as prime minister, Margaret Thatcher opened a new channel to the Kremlins top echelon, signed away the world's No. 3 financial center, and won President Reagans promise to talk to the Soviets about space weapons.

British commentators said Sunday that Mrs. Thatchers six-day around-the-world trip marked her emergence as a dominant figure in the Western alliance.

Mrs. Thatcher Goes Global, headlined the Sunday Times of London, whose correspondent, Michael Jones, reported that as a geopolitical force, Thatcherism was ... well and truly launched last week.

But at home, Mrs. Thatcher continues to face serious challenges, headed by a nine-month-old miners strike that shows no sign of ending and by stubbornly high unemployment now at a near-record rate of 12.9 percent of the work force.

Mrs. Thatcher returned home Sunday morning, ending a 25,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe that included stops in Peking to sign the agreement giving the British colony of Hong Kong to China in 1997, and in Camp

David, Md., for a meeting with Reagan.

Her week began at Cheqi^rs, the country residence of British leaders northwest of LcMidon, where she had talks on Sunday, Dec. 16, with Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the visiting l^viet Politburo member widely seen as a possible successor to President Konstantin U. Chernenko.

She later reported the two were in substantial agreement on the need to halt the arms race and to keep nuclear weapons out of space. She also reported she had taken a shine to the no-nonsense Soviet leader. I like Mr. Gorbachev. We can do business together, she said.

That enthusiasm was to be remembered in Washington, where Reagan was seeking support for his so-called Star Wars space-based missile defense system and where White House aides wondered if the Iron Lady, as the Kremlin dubbed her, was going soft.

On Monday, Mrs. Thatcher flew to Peking. En route, she made refueling stops in Bahrain and Bombay, where she had brief talks with officials and British diplomats.

In Peking, the Conservative prime minister was feted by the countrys Communist leadership and saluted by

Long-Term Effect Of Gas Not As Serious As Feared

BHOPAL, India (AP) - Doctors who have been treating survivors of the poison gas that escaped from the Union Carbide pesticide plant are starting to believe that the long-term effects may not be as serious as had been feared.

YOUTH AND ALCOHOL

by Laurel Hill ^ Substance Abuse Coordinator

With the Christmas season coming up, there arc going to be a lot of parties for adults and teenagers and there are alcohol and other drugs often readily available

Whether you drink or not, the key is to handle your choice maturely and wisely. It's a big help to discuss drinking with your parents and friends to work out specific guidelines that you can follow.

1 Alcohol is so common that many people don't realize it's a powerful drug.

2 Seven out of ten adults drink at least occasionally and eight out of ten high school seniors have tried alcohol more than once.

3 Drinking and driving is the number one killer of teenagers.

If you choose to drink: (1) Know the law - age limit varies from 18-21know the law in your state. (2) Know the risks: at the worst, it can cause accidents, injury and

even death. At the least, overdrinking may cause embarrassment and illness. (3) Drink carefully, sbwly; space drinks and limit their numbers; eat while drinking Never drink to show off or to cope with problems (4) Respect non-drinkers; don't tease them to try to get them to drink, or veiw them as party poopers." Try doing without alcohol yourself when in their company If you choose not to drink: (1) Trust your reasons, believe in yourself and resist pres sure from friends or the crowd" (2) Dont apologize; just casually and firmly say "no thanks" to a drink. (3) Plan your activities: Include as many activities as possible where alcohol won't be a maior part of the emertainrnent. (4) Respect Drinkers: If a person becomes intoxicated, dont sneer or act superiorthat's a sure invitation to an argument. Dont accept rude behavior-leave if necessary.

She saiid the accord was an example to the world of how to settle disagreements peacefully.

On Thursday, Mrs. Thatcher went to Hong Kong for a whirlwind visit designed to sell the agreement to a skeptical public.

In three hours, the two agreed to a four-point negotiating strategy for coming arms talks with the Soviets. This included a Reagan promise to be willing to negotiate Star Wars defense systems called Strategic Defense Initiative systems by the Pentagon with the Soviets before deploying them.

In a news conference at Andrews Air Force Base before her departure, Mrs. Thatcher dismissed reports of an Anglo-American rift over space weapons by saying she was on the same wavelength as the president. Any suggestion the Soviets have driven a wedge between the two is just not on, she said.

Weinberger Says 'Star Wars' Plan Still Part Of U.S. Package

By GUY DARST Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Reagan administration has not given up on its goal of developing a space defense against missiles that can protect the whole country and will not trade the so-called star wars program away in arms control talks with the Soviet Union, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinbergrer said Sunday.

Theres been no change in that plan, not at all, Weinberger said in an appearance on the This Week with David Brinkley show on ABC-TV.

The secretary was asked about a report in Sundays New York Times that the administration had set a more limited goal of concentrating a missile defense against attacks on the nations land-based force of more than 1,000 ballistic missiles.

extensive documentation to refute these fears, but a cautious optimism is emerging that the worst is over.

Shakundala Sharma, a 30-year-old mother of two, was unconscious from the gas when someone found her lying by the side of the road on Dec. 3 and brought her to Hamidia Hospital.

Three times she had very serious respiratory failure and we thought she was dying.

The defense plan, a five-year, $26 billion research effort, envisions attacks on incoming missiles in three stages - when they are climbing through the atmosphere above the Soviet Union, when the warheads separate from their booster rockets above the atmosphere and when the warheads are descending to their targets.

The administration calls this the

strategic defense initiative, but

most people outside government call it star wars, after the famous science fiction movie.

What some people are now saying is, we can put, in a transitional phase, some of those additional protective steps in, some to protect cities, some to protect missiles. But the goal is not that, Weinberger said.

As to whether this means a defense of missile silos before a defense of cities, Weinberger said. You cant say. We dont know what stages will be reached and by what time.... Its highly speculative. The important thing is to continue working on a system that cna destroy their weapons, and not people.

To protect cities, he said, "is the hope.

Returning from a weekend at Camp David, President Reagan was asked if the star wars system was being designed to defend the nation's land-based missile arsenal rather than to protect cities.

It isnt going to protect missiles. Reagan replied. Its going to destroy missiles, not people.

An important difference between a defense of cities and of missile silos is one of degree, analysts say. Even if a silo defense were so imperfect that it let lot of missiles go through, it could still be effective because

many missiles would survive for retaliation. But a city defense would have to be practically perfect becajse even a small number of cities destroyed would be a disaster without precendent. except for the attacks on Japan in 1945.

The United States and the Soviet Union plan to talk about new arms negotiations next month in Geneva, and the aministration has said it will be willing to discuss the strategic defense initiative.

Asked what guarantees he could give that it would not be bargained away. Weinberger said, "Only that the president has said he will not give up the strategic defense initiative or the opportunity to develop it. ... It is the only thing that offers any real hope to the world. We will certainlv discuss it.

Louisiana Santa Claus Is Already Working On 1985%^

By BILL CRIDER Associated Press Writer

SPRINGFIELD, La. (AP) The drifts are not snow but sawdust. The workshop is far from the North Pole, in a sagging boatyard shed. And while this Santa Claus gives gifts by the hundreds, he also received a special one a long-lost brother.

Henry Bobak certainly looks the part, with his bushy white beard and his shed jammed with the wooden toys he makes for children who wouldnt otherwise have Christmas presents.

This is the third year he has made hundreds of wooden trains, trucks, boats, spinning tops* doll high chairs, cribs, stools all smoothly sanded, pegged, glued and brightly painted.

Unpainted and incomplete toys already line some shelves for next Christmas.

The one-time wanderer and jack-of-all-trades said his urge to do something useful to become Santa Claus was met at first with suspicion.

People thought I was a nut, said the 67-year-oId Bobak, who lives on Social Security. Some still do. It did not hold me back, because I wanted to do this.

Now, however, the post office in Springfield routinely forwards letters addr^ised to Santa to Bobaks home, an old, 20-foot fishing boat called Gypsy, permanently moored under a boat shed at the Blood River Landing Yacht Club.

A sagging, sheet-metal building provided by the club is his workshop.

Electric lathes, band saws, sanding belt and other wood working machinery were donated.

Santas helpers include businessmen who belong to the Metropolitan Kiwanis Club m Baton Rouge, 40 miles away, which undertook to deliver toys and donate lumber and other materials.

We are his little elves, enjoyably so, said Dr. Frank Pegues, a club official.We have handled 000 units and there are about 300 more between now and Christmas.

Hie elves also kicked in $3,000 for materials and a few joined in on the woodwork and p^ting.

Bobaks gift'gjving brought him a special present in return.

Although in news media interviews he mentioned no family ties, a stofy about the Louisiana Santa Claus reached Canada ->and a delighted Bnuyi' Babak. . , . ,

Henry Bobaks long-lost brother, the director of the art center at ithe! University of New Brunswick, then flew dovra to visit the brother he had not * seen since he ran away from their home in Canada at the age of 12. o,

Reagans Kickoff Holiday With Christmas Eve Dinner

VV.\SHI.\GTO.\ I API - President Reagan and wile .Nancy, continuing a tradition tiegun years ago in C'alifornia. will kick off their fourth Christmas celebration as White House residents by spending Christmas Eve at the home of their close friends Charles and Marv Jane Wick.

There will be a big dinner, lots of Christmas carols they always sing carols." said Sheila Tate. .Mrs. Reagan's press secretary. And somebody will play Santa. We dont know who. but somebody always does."

Wick IS director of the U S Information .Agency Also present at the festivities willbe the five Wick children, and Mrs. Reagan's brother Richard Davis, a Philadelphia neurosurgeon, his wife Patricia, and children Anne and Geottrey. .Mrs. Tate-said.

None of the presidential couple's children will be spending Christmas at the White House, although the president and .Mrs Reagan will be talking by telephone with the children, ' Mrs Reagan's mother, and Reagan's brother on Christmas Day. .Mrs Tate said.

.She ->aK she did not know which children would be called, sidestepping the question of whether the reported estrangement between Mrs Reagan and Michael, the adopted son of Reagan and his former wife Jane Wyman, had been patched up.

I just say the children," .Mrs Tate said.

Christmas morning is reserved for opening gifts under the presidential family's 10-foot Christmas tree m the private residence.

.Mr, and .Mrs. Reagan have decided to give each other a pick-up truck for use at their California mountaintop ranch near Santa Barbara, but "there will be a few other little things exchanged. Im sure." Mrs. Tate said.

Their tree is decorated with popcorn strings, garlands, lights,.an angel on top and little ornaments that Mrs. Reagan has collected over the past four .vears." Mrs. Tate said.

The Reagans have only to pose for photographers for their traditional Christmas portrait and will spend the rest of the time catching up with their houseguests before hosting a roast turkey Christmas dinner.

Also on the menu is chestnut and wild mushroom dressing, giblet gravy, baby carrots with cranberry

glaze, a broccoli Christmas tree with turnip ornaments, monkey bread, and a red and green salad with pine and sesame dressing. For dessert, there will be coconut ice cream snowmen and snowflake cookies.

The dinner will be served in their private dining room on the second floor, Mrs Tate said.

Besides the Davis and Wicks, White House deputy chief of staff Michael K. Dea ver, his wife Carolyn and children Amanda and Blair will join the Reagans for their Christmas dinner.

Missionaries Deliver Their Message On Child's Toys

. BENSON, N.C. (UPI) - Cute, cuddly dolls line a farmhouse near Benson this season, waiting for new homes where they can deliver their religious messages with the help of a childs hug.

We feel that this is a ministry, Dana McNeal said, displaying the dolls she believes answers the biblical call in Proverbs 22:6 to Train up a child in the way he should go.

McNeal and Linda Campbell market the dolls in North Carolina for Praise Unlimited Inc., a Sarasota, Fla.,, company specializing in Christian toys. Campbell and McNeal describe themselves not as distributors, but as toy missionaries.

We feel we were called into this ministry, led by the Lord. McNeal said. The reason theres a need for Christian toys is because of the toys that are on the current world secular market.

McNeal dismissed with a wave of her hand dolls such as Darth Vader from the film Star Wars and the shadowy men and monsters from Dungeons and Dragons.

We call them the devils toys, she said.

McNeal said she hopes parents will give their children alternatives perhaps a 116-piece Noahs Ark or an action toy named Judah the Christian Soldier.

Another Praise Unlimited toy is a

child-sized suit of the armor of God described in Ephesians 6:11 as the proper gear to stand against the wiles of the devil. Accessories include the Helmet of Salvation, the Belt of Truth, the Shield of Faith and the Breastplate of Righteousness.

There also are the Praise Dolls Joy, Faith, Hope and Love. They tell their religious messages in song, activated by a childs hug.

God is so good. God is so good. God is good and good to me, sings Joy, a 21-inch doll with blond hair and a dress decorated with descending doves representing the Holy Spirit,

Campbell and McNeal, who have worked together since March, said the dolls messages are the antithesis of whats going under many Christmas trees.

The Dalty Reflector, Greenville, N CCelebrities Get Warm Welcome In Ethiopia

Monday, December 24.1984 Q

By BAKRY SIIUCHTER , Associated Press Writer

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) -VIP visitors seeking a firsthand look at conditions in famine-stricken Ethiopia are becoming a regular sight at emergency feeding centers here.

But despite the pressures such visits put on the time of local relief workers and the limited transportation facilities, some officials say they welcome the celebrities because they can help bring more outside aid to ease the plight of famine victims.

Among the latest arrivals was U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the ranking member of a Senate subcommittee on immigration and refugee policy. The Massachusetts Democrat was accompanied on his visit last week by his son. Edward

Jr., 23, and dauglUer Kara, 24.

Kennedys visit tied up rankii^ Ethiopian relief officials, who have l^n Kept nearly as biKy playing hos io dignitaries in recent weeks as have been in combating the ionged drought.

Maj. Dawit Wolde Giorgis, chief of the countrys relief efforts, took personal charge of the Kennedy visit.

Its worth it, an official of Dawits Relief and Rehabilitation Commission said, referring to the attention being paid to the most senior American politician to visit Ethiopia since its 1974 Marxist revolution.

Sen. Kennedy can see the situation and later be our advocate in the United States, which means more funds, the official said.

I may catch an official for five minutes but I cant get a meeting arrai^ed everybody is at the airport VIP lounge, complained a diplomat of a major Western donor nati(Hi.

Others bemoaned what they called famine groupies who have created a so<:alled celebrity glut in this impoverished African nation whose bureaucracy already has been spread thin coping with an estimated 7.7 million people facing serious drought-related food shortages.

The crush of public figures, ranging from movie star Charlton Heston to womens rights activist Germaine Greer, has divided aid officials and diplomats. Reactions have varied from an enthusiastic welcome to bitter resentment of the famous visitors sometimes demanding presence.

Analysts Say Steel Rules Won't Punish Consumers

: : By JILL LAWRENCE

I * Associated Press Writer

; Washington (APi - New steel import restraints announced by the Reagan administration may nudge up! the price of cars" and washing mgchiijes, bat the increase is expected to be so small that consumers wont notice it.

!n'he industry is so far below capacity that import reductions might not have a dramatic impact oh; prices, said David Healy, a ipals industry analyst for Drexel Bwnham Lambert Inc. "Theres a loCc^ excess capacity and tonnage leojcingforahome. r^eph Wyman, director of commodity research at Shearson-perican Express, said prices wont ^!up until steel mills here are optirating at more than 70 percent ca^city and stockpiles of foreign sleel, shipped in anticipation of (pMtas.areusedup.

;ilf and when there is a price iiiO^ase, it will be only a marginal ohp, Wyman said.

C Healy, Wyman and two other mwfysts projected steel price in-crfases ranging from $7 to $20 per, toQ'during the five-year program i^icting imports from most major dee] producing nations. Such small

hikes would translate into less than $10 added to the cost of a $10,000 car, they said.

"The effect of these protectionist schemes on any particular consumer product often is small," said Robert Crandall, a senior economist at the Brookings Institute. Its the dispersed nature of the cost and the concentrated nature of the benefits that make programs like this attractive to politicians.

The Reagan administration last week announced that seven countries had agreed to a 30 percent reduction in their steel exports to the United States. The voluntary restraint agreements are key to the administration's plan to cut total steel imports from 26 percent to 20 percent of the U.S. market.

U.S. importers complained bitterly last week that the so-called voluntary agreements are no different from the mandatorv quotas so roundly condemned by the Reagan administration and its antiprotectionist. free market crusaders.

Its a terminological distinction, agreed Crandall. "Theyre doing it holding their noses. They were in a difficult political situation before the election.

Charles Bradford, a vice president at Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, noted* that the U.S. International Trade Commission unanimously recommended trade relief for the copper industry, and Reagan granted none.

The ITC shortly after that recommended steel trade relief by a much narrower 3-2 margin, yet "the steel industry got (from Reagan) what amounts to a very tight quota system. Bradford said. What is the difference? Copper is produced in states out west and there are very few copper miners. There are a lot of steelworkers and theyre in politically important states.

Experts predict the restraints will preserve some 10,000 to 15,000 steel jobs at least for the short-term.

"This isnt going to help the dying steel communities of Pennsylvania and Ohio, Crandall said. "Its principal effect will be profits for the industry.

Despite the promise of higher profits and some additional jobs, most of the analysts foresee continued problems for the domestic steel industry.

Last week, for example, a tour for Western ambassadors of sites where drought victims are being resettled under a controversial and costly program was delayed because of the Kennedy visit.

Although the Ethiopian government is actively seeking millions of dollars in aid for the massive relocation scheme, Ethiopian authorities evidently believed that it was more important to escort Kennedy than to please the Western envoys.

The U.S. government has committed $112 million for famine relief supplies since Oct. 1. But American diplomats say none will go toward the scheme to move 1.5 million Ethiopians over the next year because Washington does not consider the program humanitarian in character.

A West European diplomat, who asked not to be identified, said her embassy was discouraging visits by prominent government personalities.

We are trying to prevent people from coming from my government, she said. Its a bad time because the Ethiopians have their hands full.

Aircraft which could otherwise be used to ferry life-saving food supplies to starving villagers are diverted for VIP use, the diplomat complained. A lot of resources have been tied up,

But American Bilge Reid, an aide to Kurt Jansson, Assistant U.N. Secretary-General for Ethiopian Relief Coordination, thinks famine tours by mov(e stars and other prominent people are a good thing.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages because these celebrities can bring the message home, the U.N. official said.

One of the more unusual gestures by a visiting celebrity occurred last Tuesday when U.S. comedian Dick Gregory announced here that he was beginning an indefinite fast to dramatize the plight of Africas famine victims.

The 57-year-old Gregory, of Plymouth, Mass., who said he has gone on "more than 100 hunger strikes for various causes, denied there is a celebrity glut. He said entertainers such as himself can

play a key role in mobilizing public concern.

I dont think enough could come. he said. I think the world has put an aura around celebrities and celebrities can bring certain issues to the peoples attention. And

when the issues deal with humanitarian causes, people really respond.

"It would be incredible if a Michael Jackson would get on a plane and come out here, and see for himself, then go back and dramatize what is going on here, he added.When you order processing by KodakENURGEMENTbFREE

Chinese, Soviets Agree On

It marked a significant upgrading in relations between the estranged communist neighbors

Soviet Deputy Premier Ivan V. .Arkhipov, the highest-ranking Kremlin official to visit China in 15 years, reached agreement on the accords during talks in

Peking with Vice Premier Yao Vilin of China, Foreign Ministry spokesman Yu Zhizhong announced.

Arkhipov also met Premier Zhao Ziyang and issued an invitation for one of China's vice premiers to visit the Soviet Union at an unspecified date. The official Chinese news agency Xinhua said the invitation was "happily accepted."

Mexico Blames State Oil Monopoly For Fatal Blast

.MEXICO UITY AP' - A government report said Saturday that the state oil monopoly Pemex was responsible for the gas explosion that killed at least 49o people in a Mexico City suburb last month, and ordered the company to pay reparations

A Pemex statement said it would

comply and would begin studying compensation procedures this week In a brief report late Saturday, the attorney general s office said the explosion and fire, the worst industrial accident in Mexico's history, occured when a flame from a valve burning off excess natural gas ignited liquid petroleum and butane

Yu t(dd reporters at an earlier news briefing that Arkhipov and Yao agreed on the text of three pacts covering trade relatioitt, science and technol(^, and establishing a commission to oversee exchanges in these fields.

He declined to reveal details but said "it is possible tlM^cts may be signed during Arkhipovs trip.

The spokesman also said ^h sides reached agreement on a 1986-1990 trade pact, which will be signed sometime in the first half of next year.

"The talks proceeded in a friendly, mutually understanding and constructive atmosphere, ithe spokesman said.

He quoted Yao as saying "there exists great potential for the two countries to further develop economic and trade .cooperation, and in these fields we enjoy broad prospects. We sluMild tap these potentials and translate the possibility into reality.

^0 was quoted by Xinhua as saying "although China and the Soviet Union have some differing views on international issues and domestic construction, that does not matter and will not become obstacles in improving and developing bilateral relations.

His remark apparently referred to Soviet criticism of Chinas economic reforms which have encouraged enterprise, competition and free markets. The Soviets have suggested such changes mean China is deviating from socialism.

Prominent publicity given to Arkhipov since his arrival Friday reflected Chinas desire for better ties with its Soviet neighbor. Relations between the two nations have been strained for nearly a quarter-century.

But the Chinese also conveyed their strong objection to Soviet troops on Chinas borders, Moscows intervention in Afghanistan and its support for Vietnams military activities in southeast Asia.

There are really major obstacles in Sino-Soviet relations and this cannot but arouse our attention and

concern, Xinhua quoted Zhao as telling Arkhipov. *We hope that the Soviet Union would take some action ia solving these problems. .

Arkhipovs response was not disclosed. But Xinhua said the 77-year-old visiti*, who was senior Soviet economic adviser in China during the l%Os era of friendship, "expres^ his gratitude to the Chinese 'overnment for inviting him to visit China and according lim a friendly reception here.

Arkhipov is the most senior Moscow official to visit-China since 1969, when then-Premier Alexei Kosygin conferred with then-Chinese Premier Chou En-lai at Peking airport. ' .

Arkhipov was supposed to visit in May, but Moscow delayed the trip in apparent anger over Chinas cordiaf treatment of President Reagan the month before.

The Chinese have not disclosed the duration of Arkhipovs stay but said he will visit factories in Canton, Wuhan and the Shenzhen special economic zone adjoining Hong Kong.

China-Soviet trade has tripled over the past two years to $1.05 billion in 1984. Under a trade agreement signed in Moscow on Nov. 31, trade between the two countries is expected to increase by 35.7 percent next year.

The Soviets sell China machinery, vehicles, lumber, chemicals and other manufactured goods. The Chinese sell meat, minerals, textiles, thermos bottles and other consumer items.

Once the exclusive supplier of industrial technology and aid to China, the Soviets withdrew all help in 1960 when territorial and political disputes became acute.

Diplomatic sources in Peking have suggested that Soviet willingness to upgrade technological exchanges with China shows that Moscow does not want to be shut out of the Chinese market, increasingly dominated by imports from the West and Japan.

(3ne source, who spoke on condition he not be identified, said the Soviets may want to sell China nuclear power technology which China has been denied by the United States

gas leaking from four stroage tanks at the plant.

The Nov. 19 explosions destroyed the plant and most of the surrounding town of San Juan Ixhuatepee, located on the northern edge of Mexico City.

The attorney generals report, based on a lengthy file submitted to Pemex, said the exact mechanism of the explosion was not known because the evidence was destroyed by the force of the blast.

"The practically total destruction of the Pemex plant in San Juan Ixhuatepec, and the deaths of the majority of the Pemex workers who were on duty, denied investigators some elements to determine the nature of the fire." it said.

But it said there were "sufficent elements to sustain a technical opinion with a reasonable degree of certainty" that the blast occurred because of a "massive gas leak emanating from the Pemex storage tanks.

The report said that "must give the respective authorities the necessary quantity (of money) to repay the material and personal damages, under a concept of social responsibility."

The gas teak ignited at least 13 i;>;plosions that leveled a 20-square block area around the plant. At least 490 people were killed and more than 300 remain hospitalized with burns and other injuries.

Initially. Pemex blamed the blast on Unigas, a private liquid petroleum gas distribution company. A Unigas tanker was loading at Pemex near where the explosion occurred, and it also was destroyed.

MOSCOW (AP) The masses of people filing past the body of Defense Minister Dmitri F. Ustinov over the weekend appeared to be part of a spontaneous public demonstration of mourning.

In fact, however, such demonstrations are routinely organized and orchestrated by the Soviet government to ensure large and well-behaved turnouts for funerals and national celebrations.

Police close off a broad swath of central Moscow, ensuring that no one, not even the people who live on those streets, can turn up in the area without permission. And free transportation is provided for those under orders to attend.

Ustinov died Thursday aged 76 and is to be buried at the Kremlin wall in a Red Square funeral Monday. His longstanding first deputy. Marshal Sergei L. Sokolov, was named his successor Saturday.

Militia-escorted bus caravans rumbled into central Moscow throughout Saturday and Sunday, delivering workers from outlying factories and towns to troop by Ustinovs funeral bier in swift order.

Hundreds of thousands of Soviets filed off the buses into a neat column that zigged and zagged in subfreezing weather through a mile of closed-off streets to the House,of Unions, where Ustinovs body lay in state in the Hall of Columns.

Soviets say privately that many workers are dispatched to mourning .rituals and patriotic displays by their Communist Party and labor union representatives. The state-controlled television and radio broadcast solemn programming and music to establish a mournful national mood, and in some areas the government bans the sale of alcohol.

While those who walked along the barricaded route to view Ustinov were orderly and quiet, the mood among them was surprisingly jovial more like people who regard themselves as recipients of a surprise day off work than a crowd of mourners.

During the hours it took to

assemble the procession at Pushkin Square and slowly shuffle toward the House of Unions, the participants smoked, chatted and exchanged jokes.

An Associated Press correspondent who joined the procession for 20 minutes before it entered the cordoned-off area drew stares as she walked past the barricades and police escorts.

"Where are you from*" a fur-capped man of about 30 asked with apparent suspicion after staring for several minutes. The reply. America. caused him to bolt from the queue and report to a militiaman what he apparently viewed as an infiltration.

The correspondent was plucked from the line and escorted to several higher-ranking policemen. One of them ordered her taken to a nearby police station for verification of credentials. ,

At the police station, another officer glanced at her identification and said foreign reporters were allowed to go to the House of Unions, but only through a special entrance and not with the regular procession of mourners. She was then released.

Some citizens off the streets, normal passersby who were not part of organized groups bused in. were allowed to join the line and view Ustinovs body.

Government's Cost Of Life Debate Slows Asbestos Ban

The Best Place For The Best Pnce The Best Place For The Best Pnce The Best Place For The Best Pnce

ByGlYDARST ' Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - A pro-posedo ban asbestos has turned into a squabble between two government agencies over how much a human life is worth and whether a life saved in the future is worth a life saved today.

The Environmental Protection Agency wants an immediate ban on the use of asbestos in cloth, roofing and flooring aterais, vinyl tile and cement. It also is proposing declining, quotas on imports and production of asbestos for 10 years; after a decade that too would bie banned.

But the Office of Management and Budget says the cost of the ban is too high when compared with the number of lives that would be saved.

According to 0MB, EPAs proposal would cost $5 million to $7 million for each life saved.

EPA wont put such a price tag on the cost of the ban. But the proposed regulation suggests $900,000 per life, although that figure is now outdated.

The two agencies are using different methods to calculate the cost of the asbestos ban and 0MB, which must approve new regulations, is arguing that its method is right.

0MB also says the $2.7 billion in costs cited by EPA would be incurred over 15 years while the number of lives that would be saved - 3,011 - is computed over 90 years, starting in 1995.

They want us to discount lives. We dont like that, said an EPA official who spoke on the condition that he not be identified. Theyve never done that before."

But an 0MB official disputed that contention. They (EPA) do. We do, he said. Everyone else does in virtually every other regulatory decision. You have to do it to get a common measure

The 0MB official, who also spoke on condition that he not be identified, said his agency hopes to wind up talks with EPA in about two weeks Asbestos fibers in the air can cause lung cancer and other crippling lung diseases that often do not show up until 20 years after exposure.

More than 8.000 people will die each year until the end of the century because of previous exposure to asbestos, predicts Dr. Irving Selikoff of the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.

Use of asbestos, valued for its flameproof, insulating and wear-respfant qualities, has declined drastically. In 1983, an estimated 239,00 tons were used, only about a quaSter of the peak in the early 197flls. Most comes from the work of 3,0 to 4,000 miners iaQuebec.

Married about losing jobs and markets. Canadian Embassy officials have told EPA they believe the Agency is overreacting with its pro^sed ban.

Pjul LaFleur. an embassy spokesman, noted that cancer rates in asbestos mining towns do not differ from those in the rest of the coulitry. and if it were that dangerous; (the residents) should be falling over like flies.

Some substitutes are known to be very, very biologically active," he adc^.

Bbb Pigg, spokesman for the Astjpstos Information Association, concurs. Substitute materials are just other fibers and could reflect greater health risks," he said.

Btt)wever, EPA says substitutes, sucl) as fibrous glass, present much smMler risks than asbestos.

Tlie disagreement between EPA ancCOMB over the asbestos ban has centered on whether a life today shopld be counted as equivalent to a life in the future.

0MB says EPA must adjust dow5iward - that is, discount the number of lives saved in the future because the same is being done with the costs.

But EPA says a life is a life and doesnt change with time.

, Cost-benefit analyses are generally resisted by environmentalists and others pressing for tighter standards. This is an example of how bizarre cost-benefit analysis is, said Frank Mirer, health and-safety director of the United Auto Workers union.

Five years ago, EPA first said it would consider a ban on asbestos, which it has called one of the most serious environmental threats in the nation.

Under EPAs proposal, 36 percent of current asbestos use would be banned immediately. However, use of the substance in automobile brakes, clutches and other friction products would be allowed to continue temporarily.

Bill Kath, chief brake engineer for Ford Motor Co., said he thought the industry could get by without using asbestos in brakes if it were given time to incorporate new brake designs in new car designs. In 10 years we can do it without major cost changes, he said.

But the Occupational Safety and Health Administrations proposal to

Storm Lili Demoted As Power Saps

MIAMI (AP) Lili, a rare December disturbance that grew to hurricane strength after the end of the this years Atlantic hurricane season, was downgraded to a tropical storm Sunday as it moved across the Caribbean.

The National Hurricane Center discontinued a hurricane watch for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico at 2 p.m. EST, when Lilis winds dropped from 75 mph to 55 mph.

Forecaster Gil Clark predicted that the storm would be downgraded to a depression by tomorrow and lose its identity.

Lili grew to hurricane strength on Thursday, becoming only the fourth such storm to form in December in more than a century.

"Lili weakened very quickly during the day after the hurricane moved under an area of very strong winds... that blew the (hurricanes) top off. the center said. Weakening combined with a more westerly track has almost eliminated the threat to the islands in the northeastern Caribbean.

But forecasters warned that small craft from the Leeward Islands to Puerto Rico still should remain in port "until the system departs the area.

At 2 p.m.. the storm was centered about 300 miles northeast of San Juan. Puerto Rico, and was moving south.

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through .November.

Although it was considered a "minimal hurricane with highest sustained gusts of 75 mph, Lili had posed a threat to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico when it began moving southwest at 25 mph on Saturday, forecasters said.

Ancestry

LONDON (AP) - Arthur Scargill. leader of Britains striking coal miners, is descended from a 12th century Yorkshire knight named Sir Warin de Scargill, and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher comes from a long line of shoe repairers and farm laborers, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The Mail, a London weekly, said it engaged ancestry expert Giles Fielding of the venerable College of Heralds for detective work on the family trees of the militant .Marxist and the Conservative prime minister

It said that Mrs. Thatchers ancestors could not be traced back much earlier than the start of the 19th century, while Scargills led to the reign of Henry II800 years ago.

Mine Sealed Off After Fire Blocks Removal Of Bodies

By PEG McE.NTEE Associated Press Writer

ORANGEVILLE, Utah (AP) - Workers began sealing a smoke-choked coal mine Sunday to extinguish a persistent fire that prevented rescuers from removing the bodies of 25 miners or finding two others presumed dead deep inside a mountain.

Meanwhile, grieving relatives and friends of the miners sought solace in prayer services throughout central Utahs coal country.

The decision to seal the Wilberg Mine with the bodies still inside was made after the fire that trapped 26 men and one woman flared up again early Sunday, driving out rescuers who had searched unsuccessfully for the last two missing miners.

"There was no question we had to get the people (rescuers) out of there, said Robert Henrie, spokesman for Emery Mining Corp., the mines operator. They moved very, very quickly

to retreat.

Henrie said state, federal, company and uniwi officials had jointly agreed to seal the mine to choke off the fire so the bodies could be recovered safely.

Crews worked to erect double seals of a synthetic, fireproof, curtain-like material as close to the fire as possible in the mines main shaft. The mine has no other entrances or air shafts.

Federal regulations require that the seals remain in place for at least 72 hours, after which the atmosphere inside the mine will be tested to determine the status of the fire, Henrie said.

The fire, located about l,loo feet inside the main tunnel, had grown to 2,200 feet in length Sunday, Henrie said, and was sporadic, difficult and unpredictable.

I was scared the whole time, said a member of one rescue team who would identify himself only as Bob. You go in fighting a fire and you can only see six inches in front of your face. You

cant see the flames. All you can hear is the roof popping and fire all around you.

The miners had been trying to break a one-day production record when the nre broke out, a fact that left some relatives bitter.

Im pretty upset at the company, said Kathy Riddle, whose husband Kelly, 28, was one of the victims. I felt it was kind of their fault for trying to push so hard to get the coal out. That was their main priority, was to break that record, and if thats how the fire started, I just felt like it could have been prevented.

Henrie, however, said the conveyor belt where the fire was believed to have started was operating at only half capacity when the flames erupted.

It was the states worst coal-mining disaster since 1924, when 172 miners died at a mine in nearby Castle Gate. It also was the worst mine disaster in the United States since May 1972, when 91 miners died in a fire in an Idaho mine. In March 1976,26 people died in a Kentucky mine.

HoMtal Cleared In Outage Deaths

CHICAGO (.XP) - Two cancer patients hooked to life-support machines died after a 90-minute power failure hit a troubled public hospital, but the county coroner said Sunday the outage was coincidental and did not cause the deaths.

I am satisfied that the deaths had nothing to do with the voltage outage, Dr. Robert Stein, the Cook County medical examiner, said of the deaths at Cook County Hospital. "I will conclusively say this was not the cause of death.

Stein told a news conference that his preliminary autopsies indicated that both deaths early Thursday probably were caused by cancer, but his office will not issue a final ruling until next week after all tests are completed. He noted that the patients had not been given long to live.

Stein criticized hospital officials for not contacting him until Friday night, 44 hours after the incident and after the bodies had been taken to funeral homes.

The hospital, which has a long history of financial and other problems. barely gained accreditation in October. The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals had called for improvements in the facilitys electrical distribution system.

A $1.2 million plan to improve the hospitals electrical distribution system awaits approval from a state agency.

Train Explosion Kills 4 In Italy

FLORENCE, Italy (AP) - An explosion ripped through a packed train as it passed through a tunnel north of Florence on Sunday, killing at least four people and injuring scores of others, state-run RAI television reported.

In a special broadcast, RAI quoted a police official at the site of the explosion as saying at least four people were killed in the blast and scores were injured.

Police said the blast derailed the express train, heading north from Naples to Milan, as it passed through the tunnel 31 miles north of this central Italian city.

The explosion occurred in the same tunnel where a bomb went off in August. 1974, killing 12 people and injuring 48 in a train heading to Milan from Rome.

Italian investigators have said they believe right-wing terrorists were responsible for the 1974 explosion.

A Florence police official, who would not give his name, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he could not comment on whether Sundays blast may have been the work of terrorists.

We are still pulling out passengers and trying to get a count of the injured. All we know is that the explosion was extremely powerful,

the official said, adding that the cause of the explosion had not yet been identified.

He said the length of the 12-miIe tunnel made rescue operations difficult.

Firemen were working inside the tunnel to put out flames sparked by short circuits in the trains electrical system after the blast, police said.

Rescue services were arriving at the site from Florence and surrounding towns, they said.

Snow Dancers

BLOWING ROCK, N.C. lUPI) -Owners of a North Carolina ski resort have hired a band of Cherokee Indians to do a snow dance on their melted mountain where warm weather has turned ski slopes to naked hills.

Tom Gibley, customer relations director for Ski Hawksnest, said he believes the buck-skinned, feathered Indians will be able to coat the ski runs with a thick white cover when they perform Thursday.

I was witness to the snowfall that came after the first snow dance, he said. It has been done tefore successfully. -

Dallas Planning Facelift For Zoo

DALLAS (AP) - The Dallas Zoo will begin a 10-year, $75 million facelift and expansion next year in a project aimed at making it the best of its kind in th world, the zoos director says.

This is a zoo that is about to happen, said director Warren Iliff.

The project calls for the 45-acre zoo to expand to 120 acres, slightly smaller than the famed San Diego Zoo, Iliff said. Also planned is a major African animal exhibit to be viewed from a monorail system, he said recently.

Officials involved with the project, to be funded by $18.4 million in tax dollars, say change was overdue.

We needd to change direction, said Jack Robinson, director of the citys Parks and Recreation Department.

It was stagnant for so long, said Margaret Bennett, director of the Dallas Zoological Society, a small private society that has for nearly 30 years dominated activities of the zoo.

The society owns all the zoos animals and is responsible for buying new ones.

1984 All-Area Team Announced

The 1984 Daily Reflector All-Area Football team features one All-Stater, a jack-of-all-trades player, and a coach who to(A a team from the depths to close to the top before it was all over.

Eight of the 11 area high school teams are represented on the team, with only North Pitt, Roanoke and Chocowinity failing" to land a player on the squad. Jamesville, which won the 1-A state championship with a 13-0 record the current longest unbeaten, untied string in the state - leads the way with five honorees, with Greene Central 3-A Division II East runner-up next with four, aldng with surprising D.H. Conley, and Ayden-Grifton.

J.H. Rose landed three on the team, while Williamston had two, Farmville, two and Washington, one.

Last years team featured five underclassmen, and three of them return this year, although one has moved to another position. Of the other two, one, Greene Centrals Anthony Thompson, transfered to Wilson Fike, helping them to the state 4-A semifinals.

The returnees include Rose High School receiver Tyrone Smith. Wliamsioii offensive lineman Brinson Green and Jamesville quarterback Richie Ange. Ange was named in the defensive backfield last year and could easily have been selected there or at two other positions for which he was nominated.

Ange. named the quarterback of this year's team, led the Bullets to the l-A state championship, passing for over 1,600 yards this year. He threw 41 touchdown passes in his career, hitting over 60 percent of his passes. In his four year career, he averaged over 1.00 yards a year passing.

But the versatile Ange also was his teams placekicker, hitting 23 of 24 points after, their punter, with a better than 38 yard average, and a defensive back. In that position, he picked off 13 passes this year to bringhis career total to 41.

Wow!

On this years mythical squad, he'd have a couple of fine receivers to throw to. Smith, one of the other repeaters, pulled in 31 passes this year for 516 yards and three touchdowns. The other receiver is David Mclver of Washington, who caught passes for a total of 987 yards with a 29.4 average. He scored seven touchdowns on receptions.

No quarterback worth his salt operates behind a ho-hum line, however, and theres plenty of protection up front, .including one of Anges teammates. Pee Wee Groover. A three year starter, at 200 pounds. Groover is anything but a pee-wee. Hes an excellent blocker. Coach Jerry Godley says, who makes few mistakes.

Joining him in the line is returnee Brinson Green of Williamston, another big man at 220 pounds. "He had a great year. Coach Harold Robinson said, "despite moving from center to tackle. Hes the best lineman we have.

Audie Murphy, the small guy on the line at 180 pounds, was one of the big reasons for Greene Centrals success on the year. "Hes the best pulling guard in our league, Coach Spence Grantham said. "After we payed Havelock (in the playoffs), they said hes the best theyve seen.

Jackie Braxton of Ayden-Grifton comes in at 190, as is another who moved positions this year, going to tackle for center, "He did a good job despite being outsized, Coach Dwight Tart said. "He sustained his blocks real well.

Rounding out the offensive line is Conleys Ricky Rice, a 220-pounder. Hes one of the best centers in this area, Coach Donnie Bunn said. He was a key blocker for us and called out blocking scheme. He played with a broken hand the final two games. No offense can sustain itself on iust the pass, and this years backfield nas a good group of running backs. Tracy Peele of Jamesville proves that. He rushed for over 1,500 yards this year on the 1-A state championship team.

Jeff Vail of Farmville Central racked up 1,150 yards, while Kelvin Harris of Ayden-Grifton raced for 1,024 yards and scored 15 touchdowns for the Chargers.

The placekicker for the offensive unit is Rose High hooter Brian Bridges. He kicked 12 of 13 PATs this year, and kicked four of seven field goals.

To stop the opposition takes some good people, and this years team features them.

Conley landed two players on the interior line, Gerald Harper and Donald Blackwell. Harper, a 230-pounder, was the leading tackier for the Vikings, finishing the year with 80 tackles, three fumble recoveries and two blocked punts. Blackwell, a 210-pounder, had 60 tackles and

played on defense only about half the inked in the top

season, but still rar three tacklers on the team.

Jamesvilles Jacque Ruffin weighs only 195, but still was a top performer for the Bullets, recording 91 tackles and 30 assists during the regular season.

Rounding out the interior is Greene Centrals Patrick Moye. Also a lightweight among giants, at 180, he had 45 tackles, 21 assists and one interception is leading the Rams.

The crew of linebackers-defensive ends, features some top tacklers too. James Lane of Ayden-Grifton, was the leading tackier on the Chargers with between 40 and 50 solos on the year with as many assists.

Jerome Daniels of Farmville Central was his teams leading tackier with 13 a game. He picked up a pass returning it for a touchdown, and called Farmvilles defensive

And when it comes time to pick a Coach of the Year for the team, it became a difficult decison.

Finally, it was decided that Greene Centrals Spence Grantham deserved the honor. Learning this summer he was to lose his best player as Thompson moved to Fike, Grantham had to pull together the remains of his team and start all over again. The first two ballgames resulted in two shutout losses, and after gaining a shutout win themselves, the Rams were again shutout in defeat.

But after that, they reeled off five straight wins and found themselves going into the final game with Southwest Edgecombe with a chance to win the Eastern Carolina Conference title.

Despite a loss in the title game, Greene Central moved into the Division II playoffs and pulled off a pair of victories before finally losing a close game to Jamestown

and three interceptions made his one of the states top players, and his 6-2, 225-pound frame, should make him a college prospect.

The backfield features three players who know how to go and get em, be it the ball or a runner.

Conleys Martin Anderson had seven interceptions, among the Coastal Conference leaders, and added 35 tackles. Roses Adrian Brewington was his teams second leading hitter and intercepted five passes for 55 yards in returns. Williamstons Jesse Ward had nine interceptions this year to go with 16 he pulled in last year and was the third leading tackier on his team.

Finally, when ii comes time to kick, the team could call in Ayden-Griftons Gene Johnson, who as punter for the Chargers, averaged 37.0 yards a kick.

Ragsdale in the Eastern finals.

Top contenders for the coaching honors were Conleys Donnie Bunn, who in his first year with the Vikings, led the team to its first ever winning season, and Jamesvilles Jerry Godley, who led his team to an

unbeaten, untied season and the 1-A state championship.

Nominations for player honors came from coaches of the respective teams, with selections made to the team by the Dailv Reflector Sports Staff.

Georgetown Has Easy Test

Ranked Teams Lose

By MIKE HARRIS \P Sports Writer

Top-ranked Georgetown passed a tough test, but No. 4 Illinois, No. 7 Washington, llth-rated Oklahoma and No. 12 Louisville drew failing marks in an upset-filled weekend of college basketball.

Georgetown's Hoyas, the defending national champions, raised their record to 9-0 as they held off a furious second-half rally by unheralded New Mexico for a 69-61 victory Saturday night.

Playing in Albuquerque, N.M., before its largest crowd of the season, on the same court where North Carolina State upset Houston two years ago in the NCAA finals. Georgetown's intimidating 7-foot center Patrick Ewing said New Mexico's determination played a bigger role than did the fans.

That team was a good test." Ewing said. We've played before large crowds be!ore."

In other games involving ranked teams. Loyola of Chicago surprised Illinois 63-62. Brigham Young upended Washington 84-75. Southern Methodist ran, jast Oklahoma 85-76, giant-killer Chominade knocked off Louisville 67-65. third-ranked Memphis State trimmed Iona 76-62, No. 5 DePaul got past Northwestern 61-56, No. 8 Si John's beat UCLA 88-69, No. 9 Syracuse belted Utica 84-63. lth-ranked North Carolina topped Arizona State 85-66. No. 15 Kansas got b\ George Washington 76-70, No 16 Indiana ripped Kansas State 70-58. 17th-ranked Virginia Tech nipped West Virginia 65-63. .No. 18 .Michigan trounced Rutgers 93-77. yand No 19 Louisiana State clouted North Carolina-Wilmington 88-65.

Georgetowr which had averaged 80.6 points a game in its first eight victories. scord only 12 points in the first 14 minutts of the second half. The Hoyas ais hit only three of nine free throws ir the final 20 minutes as New Mexico gave them their closest game so far thii.season.

David Wingite led the winners with 16 points. i4 in the first half.

New .Mexico ran off a 12-0 string early m the >econd half to make it close The Lobos. 5-3. got within three points three times in the final six minutes.

Georgetown Coach John Thompson credited New Mexico's constantly-changing defense for his teams poor shooting in the second half.

"It (the New Mexico defense) was hard to identify." Thompson said. "They did a good job of changing up."

The Hoyas, struggling on offense in the second half, relied on their zone press to preserve their lead in the waning minutes.

New Mexico hit only 38.7 percent from the field, with the shorter ' Lobos repeatedly altering their shots to get them over the Hoyas' massive frontline.

"At least 10 or 15 shots were intimidated or tipped." New Mexico Coach Gary Colson said.

Ewing ended up playing 34 minutes, considerably more than Thompson wanted.

"I was hoping I wouldn't have to play him that much." Thompson said of his center who suffered a slight wrist injury last weekend in the Hoyas' destruction of DePaul and missed the first game of his college career earlier in the week because of it "But that's a tribute to the job .New .Mexico did."

Top Ten

Loyola. 6-3. used a zone defense in upsetting the mini. 9-2.

It's the first time I've ever played a zone in my five years at Loyola." said Loyoia Coach Gene Suilivan. whose teams are known tor their tenacious man-to-man coverage. We did it because Illinois has such inside power, more than a lack of outside shooting."

But. noting that Illinois shot just 36 percent for the game, he added. I'm jui'it glad It worked,"

Ancfre Battle scored a game-high 20 points, including two crucial jumpers down the stretch, to preserve the Chicagoans' triumph.

Illinois Coach Lou Henson said. The way we came back, had a chance to win. and then let it get away really bothered me"

Carl Wright scored 28 points and Jon Koncak added 22 to pace Southern .Methodist. 9-0. in the second game of the Chaminade Classic in Honolulu. Oklahoma's Wayman Tisdale led the Sooners, 6-3. with 22

points before fouling out.

But the Mustangs had their problems in the first half getting the ball to Koncak And Wright was having a cold shooting night.

We were really close to being blown out right before the half," said SMU Coach Dave Bliss. "But Wright hit two big buckets right at the end of the half to cut it to three 134-31)."

Those two baskets, the only ones for SMU in the final seven minutes of the first half, were enough to get the Mustangs going. They scored the first six points of the second half and. minutes later, took the lead for good at 44-43 on a jumper by Terry Williams.

Chaminade, an NAIA team which upset the Cardinals in last years Classic and upended Virginia when it was ranked No. 1 in 1982, made lightning strike a third time in Saturday nights game.

Mark Rodrigues, a senior guard, hit an eight-foot jumper at the final buzzer to give the Silverswords -ranked eighth in the .NAIA their lOth victory in 14 games. Keith Whitney led Chaminade with 17 points against the injury-plagued Cardinals, who played without three of their top four scorers.

Mark McSwain topped Louisville, with 17 points.

Timo Saarelainen tossed in 23 points. 19 in the second half, to pace BYU, 5-4. to its upset of Washington. 5-1 Saarelainen. a senior forward, shot just one of 11 from the floor in the first half, but hit seven of eight in the last 20 minutes. Chris Nikchevich added 18 for the Cougars, while Chris Welp topped Washington with 25. BYU trailed 38-32 at the half but outscored thC| Huskies 12-5 to open the second half then went on a 10-2 tear with nine minutes left to outdistance Washington.

DePaul. coming off a two-game losing streak, kept alive its 30-game home-court winning string despite a game-high 20-point effort by .Northwestern freshman Shon Morris. The Blue Demons. 7-2. were led bv Tonv

Tar Heels Rip Arizona State

TOKYO (AP) - Brad Daugherty scored 20 points, Kenny Smith added 17 points and Warren Martin contributed a career-high 14 points as lOth-ranked North Carolina defeated .Arizona State 85-66 Sunday and won the Suntory Ball basketball tournament.

The Tar Heels, undefeated in seven games, defeated Wichita State 80-69 Friday in the tournament opener in Osaka while Arizona State beat Wichita State 76-69. The W'heat Shockers were forced to play the second half of their opener without leading scorer Xavier McDaniel, who was forced to leave the game with leg cramps.

McDaniel scored 24 points before leaving.

Coaches for both teams said a major factor in Saturdays game was the tournament schedule, which had Wichita State facing North Carolina in Osaka Friday night, flying to Tokyo Saturday morning, and playing Arizona State Saturday afternoon.

Arizona State is 5-3, while Wichita State fell to 3-6 with the two losses.

North Carolina Coach Dean Smith called Sundays game his young team's best effort this season. The two victories in Japan might boost the Tar Heels ranking at home, Smith said, but he added, "we dont care about the national rankings now . Were among the top 50 teams in the country, as is Arizona State.

The tournaments three games are regulation NCAA games and the annual affair is sponsored by Suntory Ltd., a Japanese beverage company.

North Carolina forced Arizona State to shoot from the outside as Daugherty and Martin alternated to

block up the middle.

Daugherty scored 16 points in the first half of the championship, and was named the game's most valuable player. Arizona State guard Bobby Thompson received the "Fighting Spirit award, despite scoring just 4 points Sunday.

North Carolina jumped to an 11-2 lead after five minutes as Daugherty started the scoring by tipping in a lob pass. After Daugherty added a second layup, Kenny Smith hit a jump shot, stole the ball and brought the crowd to its feet with a slam dunk.

Arizona State never threatened, though Jim Deines, who led the Sun Devils with 16 points and 12 rebounds, and guard Ron Singleton, who scored 14, combined to keep Arizona State within striking distance.

North Carolina took a 45-31 lead at halftime and widened the margin to 21 five minutes into the second half, aided by three baskets by forward Joe Wolf.

The Sun Devils closed to within 77-65 with two minutes to play on two baskets by Arthur Thomas, but Arizona State could add only one free throw, also by Thomas, in the final minutes.

Arizona State Coach Bob Weinhauer said North Carolina did a great job of taking advantage of their height, and they mixed up their defenses well."

Japanese sports writers selected the all-tournament team of Smith, Daugherty, Deines, Thompson, and McDaniel.

The 1985 tournament will be an American military affair, with the three major service academies Army, Navy and Air Force scheduled for the round-robin affair.

eighth straight victory, while Walter Berry threw in a career-high 23 points as St. Johns rebounded from its only loss in seven games at Niagara to beat UCLAs out-manned Bruins.

A second-half explosion, fueled by freshman Michael Brown and junior Rafael Addison, sparked Syracuse. 6-0, past Utica. The Orangemen broke away from a 34-33 halftime lead as Brown and Addision. who both finished with 14 points, eached scored three baskets in the first five minutes of the second half.

North Carolina ran its record to 7-0 and won the Suntory Ball tournament in Tokyo by stopping Arizona State in Sundays title game.The^ taller Tar Heels jumped to an 11-2* lead and were never headed. Brad Daugherty finished with 20 points 16 in the first half - and was named the tournaments most valuable player.

Second Ten ' Kansas got 16 points eight of them during a key three-minute burst in the second half from 6-11 freshman Danny Manning to stave off tenacious George Washington. The Jayhawks 8-1 start is their best in 14 years.

Steve Alford poured in 32 points to pace Indiana. 6-2, past previously

unbeaten Kansas State. The sophomore guard helped Indiana charge away from a 31-31 halftime deadlock, igniting a 12-4 burst early in the second half that opened up the contest.

Dell Currys 18-foot jumper with four seconds left gave Virginia Tech its seventh victory in eight starts as the Hokies withstood a late barrage of three-pointers by West Virginia. The Mountaineers tied the game at 63-63 on a three-pointer by J.J. Crawl with 14 seconds left. Curry, who wound up with 18 points, including four three-pointers, hit a short jumper for the winning points as the Hokies beat West Virginia for the first time in their last four meetings.

Roy Tarpley pumped in 20 points and Gary Grant added 15 for Michigan, which raised its record to 8-0 despite the absence of starting guard Antoine Joubert, who sprained an ankle in practice Fri-' day.

AP Sports Writer RALEIGH - North Carolinas basketball reputation was upheld in po^t-season play during the 1984 season, and while North Carolina an^ North Carolina State didnt return to the Final Four, one chiimpion and a runner-up was crowned.

The Tar Heels, 1982 national champions with a victory over Georgetown, failed to get beyond the

Aces Edge Williamston

EpENTON - Edenton utilized four- turnovers in the fourth quarter to rally for a 54-53 victory over Williamston in the championship gante of the Aces Holiday Tournament Saturday.

Lawrence Holley led Edenton with 24 points, while Daryl Overton

third round of the East Regionals as Indiana pulled off the upset of the then-top-ranked team. N.C. State, winners of the crown in 1^, didnt even get to the NCAA tournament and were ousted from the National Invitation Tournament by Florida State to put the lid on a seven-game losing streak.

The states winner was the womens basketball team at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, which captured the NAIA Division I national crown.

There was a near-champion from Raleigh. St. Augustines College, living in the shadow of the Wolfpack, reached the finals of the NCAA Division II tournament before losing an 81-77 decision to Central Missouri State.

Wake Forest reached the Elite Eight. The Demon Deacons knocked off DePaul and gave veteran coach

Ray Meyer a bittersweet ending to his career. Houston provided a

chtpbed in 12. Tony Doughty paced Wililams -

imston with 17 points, Robert

The Tigers jumped out to a 14-8 leadP in the first quarter, then took a

Duke lost to Maryland ip the finals of the ACC tournament, but got a bid to the West Regional tournament. Washington pulled off a controversial 80-78 victory. As the 1984-85 campaign started, the Blue Devils were ranked sixth in The Associated Press pre-season college basketballpoll.

University of North Carolina junior Michael Jordan spent the 1984 'season daxzhng crowds after an early-eeason^ shooting slump. He stunned tar Heel fans in the spring when he announced his decision to fodeit his final year of eligibility to become available for the National Basketball Association draft.

. Jordan was a first rouQd selection

of the Chicago Bulls, and has been the hit of the NBA in the first weeks of the season. Because of his performances, some NBA teams have drawn sellout crowds whenever he and the Bulls arrive. In addition, the Bulls have doubled their average attendance from last season.

Sam Perkins, a teammate of Jordans on the 1982 championship team, was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks. After holding out for several weeks, Perkins signed a contract with the team. The 6-foot-9 Perkins was moved to center, making him one of the shortest pivotmen in the league.

Before either embarked upon their professional careers, they were selected as members of the U.S. Olympic basketball team coach by B(by Knight. They returned to Greensboro for a farewell appearance along with Dawkins before heading out to Los Angeles, where they-swept through competition for a gold me jal.

By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer It was the year of the little guy in college football.

Alabama suffered its first losing season since 1957 and had its record string of 25 consecutive bowl trips snapped. Penn State, 6-5, barely extended its record streak of nonlosing seasons to 46. Unherald^ Brigham Young, unranked in the preseason Associated Press poll, surged to the top of the ratings behind its inimitable passing attack. And a 5-foot, 934-inch quarterback, Doug Flutie of Boston College, captured the imagination with his heroics and won the Heisman Trophy as the nations outstanding player.

As the regular season ended, Brigham Young was threatening to become the thifd team in the last five years to win the national championship after being unranked in the APs preseason poll.

The Cougars surged to No. 1 after Auburn, Miami, Nebraska, Texas, Washington and Nebraska again failed to hold it.

Auburn began the season top ranked but the Tigers were promptly done in by Miamis defending national champions 20-18 in the Kickoff Classic. Miamis reign lasted just one week before the Hurricanes were cooled off by Michigan 22-14.

Nebraska, which finished second to Miami in 1983, assumed the No. 1 ranking for three weeks until the Cornhuskers were stunned by Syracuse 19-7. That turned the lead over to Texas, but after two weeks at the top the Longhorns-dropped out after a 15-15 tie by Oklahoma.

The next four weeks belonged to Washington, but the Huskies couldnt stand prosperity and were beaten by Southern California 16-7 after winning their first nine games for the first time ever. Back for one week came Nebraska, but the Huskers lost to Oklahoma 17-7 and were knocked from the top spot for the second time.

Thats when Brigham Young took over. The Cougars finished the regular season 13-0, the nation's only unbeaten major-college team, and were ranked No. 1 for the last three weeks.

But they became the first top-ranked team ever to play in a bowl other than the so-called Big Four Cotton, Orange, Rose, Sugar when they were forced to go to the Holiday Bowl as champions of the Western Athletic Conference for the ninth year in a row. The WAC has a contract committing its champion to the pre-Christmas game in San Diego.

As college footballs bowl season began, four teams had legitimate shots at the national championship. Besides BYU playing unranked Michigan in the Holiday Bowl, runner-up Oklahoma and fourth-ranked Washington were paired in the Orange Bowl, while No. 3 Florida was declared ineligible for a bowl by the Southeastern Conference because of a pending NCAA probation.

The Gators were hoping the voters would remember that Auburn in 1957 and Oklahoma in 1974 won national championships without going to a bowl and while on probation. In fact, the Gators were not even officially on probation pending the outcome of their appeal to the NCAA, although they were barred by the Southeastern Conference.

The rest of the Jan. 1 bowl picture found No. 5 Nebraska and No. 11 LSU in the Sugar Bowl, No. 6 Ohio State and No. 18 Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl, No. 8 Boston College and Houston in the Cotton Bowl and No. 13 Miami and No. 14 UCLA in the Fiesta Bowl.

But the talk of the college football

world was Flutie, Boston Colleges magical quarterback. Flutie finished second nationally in total offense with 327.5 yards a game and led the nation in passing efficiency, completing 233 of 386 passes for 3,454 yards and 27 touchdowns. En route, he became the first major-college quarterback to surpass the 10,000-yard plateau in both passing and total offense.

BYUs Robbie Bosco was the total offense leader with 327.7 yards a game, Ohio States Keith Byars led in rushing with 150.5 and all-purpose running (rushing, receiving, kick returns) with 207.6, and David Williams of Illinois was No. 1 in receiving with 101 catches, only the third major-college player ever to hit the century mark.

The regular season ended with an ongoing dispute over whether BYU

should be No. 1. An ABC telephone poll on Dec. 1 attracted 191,336 callers who thought BYU should not be No. 1 as opposed to 166,590 who thought the Cougars should. The New York Times computer rankings listed BYU no better than No. 20.

And then there was the Orange Bowl, which proclaimed its Oklahoma-Washinjgton game as a national championship contest.

Brigham Youngs opponents as a group have a losing record; how can a team like that be the national champion? said Nick Crane, chairman of the team selection committee. As far as the Orange Bowl is concerned, we think ours is a national championship game.

The main rap on BYU was its schedule, mainly against WAC teams.

H\ HOB DAOIU IIAK Associated Press Writer

CENTHALIA, Fa ..AH' - A jolly pla.stic .Santa Claus adorns Tom Gerntv s door, but down the street, boarded-up windows and stripped-down houses are all that s left of 11 neighbors who fled a 22-year-old mine fire burning beneath the town.

Gerrity and his wife have lived in their tidy duplex tor more than 40 years But after the holidays, they too will leave, through a $42 million federal buyout in this central Pennsylvania raining village.

"We wanted to spend one last Christmas here But it ain't the same.' said Gerrity. 7,5. a retired miner born and reared in Centralia. "Nobody has the Christmas spirit. Its hard to have the feeling Theres nobody around'

The exodus from the fire, a menacing inferno that began in the town dump and spread to a labyrinth of mine tunnels, is in full swiiig. By last week, 85 families had left town. The buyout is to continue through 1986.

On Dec. 14. the bulldozers demolished the first of 26 empty homes to be torn down in the next 30 dgys To many, it signified the beginning of the end of a town that ooce was home to 1.200 people. Eventually 400 houses, businesses and churches will be leveled

The houses earmarked for razing look like carcasses, Windows and siding have been stripped off; large red n mbcrs are .sprav painted on the sidc*s to mark the order of demolition f

It s like a terminal disease here. said Mary Chapman, 44. a lifelong resident who has sold her home and is waiting to move. "When something is dying, you got to let it go. You just can't keep fighting a losing battle."

Even the Residents To .Save The Borough of Centralia. a group of about 40 families, are relieved to see the demolition of the lifeless dwellings. which are considered eyesores andfiretraps

"It looks like a ghost town in an old cowboy movie. It looks as if were quarantined or something. said the Rev. Anthony McGinley. a psychology professor at Georgetown University who recently returned to his native town.

Piece by piece, lot by lot, the hated fire has been nibbling away at Centralia. In 1981, 27 families were uprooted when poisonous carbon monoxide was oetecled in their homes.

The heat from the fire has charred tree roots. It will burn a hand held over fissures in the parched ground. Smoke billows hundreds of feet skyward from the cracks in the earth

Those families who plan to stay insist the dangers are exaggertded..

Afraid? Of what? said Helen Womer, a mother of four and head teller of the community bank. "We have not suffered except the community is being betrayM. I am not selling the town down the drain. We will survive.

As houses were torn down,. John Lokitis \vor|d on a .new twiipear

garage. He lives in the impact zone, where the fire has supposedly spread under the town. Signs that say "Posted Danger - Keep Out" were placed on either side of his property.

But Lokitis, drinking a beer while lights blinked on his Christmas tree and his wife baked cookies, said an alarm in his basement that detects poisonous gas has not gone off in five years.

"Im staying ... till I die," said Lokitis, 43, a machine shop foreman and father of two teen-agers^ I dont think Im being stubborn. I want what I have. If there was a problem. I'd take my loss, lick my wounds and get out. But I'm convinced this fire is no danger to me or my family

On the other side of town, Anne Marie Devine had a swimming pwl installed in June. "If the mine fire gets up that far. Ill have a hot tub," she joked.

But Mrs. Devine, a mother of two. is adamant about staying even thou^ the town will lose its post office and municipal services when the tax base disappears.

.. "We're going to have to make sacrifices. We know that. But I wouldnt live anywhere else, she said.

Christmas decorations are spotty around town, but the borough put a Nativity scene at its main intersection and hung ornaments from utility poles. - - r - . ^

A lot of them know it will be their last Christmas here, said Sister Honor Murphy, a white-haired Roman Catholic nun who spent most of her life working in Appalachia.

She has been in Centralia for 18 months.

"People in the coal fields are used to a day-tonday existence. When your

man went to work in the mines, you' never knew if youd see him again,' she said. Theyre survivors. They ' make the most of whats there. They will have their Christmas. < :

Blood Needs Hit High Level On Holidays

i By ANGELA LINGERFELT Reflector Staff Writer

The after-Christmas bloodmobile visit in Pitt County helps supply blood to hospitals when its needed the most, according to Ruth Taylor, executive director of the Pitt County Red Cross.

This is the time of year when people are traveling for the holidays and there are a lot of accidents on the highways. And there are also a lot of hunting accidents. People use a tremendous amount of blood at this .time of the year, Mrs. Taylor said;

The visit, she commented, is so inmortant because none is held for four days during the Christmas holidays, yet there is so much (blood) being used.

This years visit will be held Dec. 26 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Pitt County Boys Club on Arlington Boulevard. All types of blood are needed, especially "0 positive and 0 negative.

We have had a real shortage of 0 positive and negative and were trying to catch up, she explained.

Mrs. Taylor said the after-Christmas visit has traditionally been the day of the year when the most people donate blood. Last year 324 pints were collected on that day and in 1982,397 pints were collected.

This year were hoping to get 350 pints of blood, but thats a conservative figure and we hope to get more than that. We never know when well need it the most, but we have to be prepared. she said.

Mrs. Taylor said the Red Cross would like to make the visit a {|mily thine and sIm encourages pMgle teu their neightxnrs and trim to (kmate blood. .

we have several families in town vifUng relatives Iot the holidays w||C are coming to donate. Many ! visitii^ relatives here usually conie and give. We feel its such a gdhd time to give blood because e^rybody is in a giving spirit at this tiMeof year*.'shecommtnted.

'Jusf Glad To Be Alive'

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The last time the Rev. Guy Reedy and grocer Jimmy Jones prepared for a maj(M' religious holiaay a killer tornado dipped down from dark Mississippi skies and ripped their world apart.

This Christmas both are just glad to be alive.

On April 21, in Water Valley, a town of about 4,600 located in the hill country of nwth Mississippi, Reedy leaving the First Baptist Church after completing preparations for Easter Sunday services the next day. Jon was busy with weekend holiday shoppers.

The storm arrived suddenly, smashing into the church and adjoining educational buildings and catching Reedy in a breezeway. He was forced to cling to the handles of a side door to keep from being sucked into the funnel.

I can recall that moment v7 vividly ... the debris was flyiim through the breezeway and into it, he said. I did feel that if I let loose of those handles 1 would have been carried away. ^

Jones, who only had time U* iiout a warning to his emi^oyees and customers, remembers raisi ig his

head briefly as pieces of metal from the roof of the supermarket sailed past a front window.

In a moment, the supermarket was reduced to rubble and a customer lay dying. Seven peopled died in the town from the tornado.

Just being alive makes this Christmas special, said Jones, whose new supermarket reopened in November. "Its special when you realize that for a brief moment on Easter eve 1 thought everybody in the sttH-e except me, including my &in, had been killed.

St. Nick Takes His Jolly Spirit To Tiny Coast Guard Post

By HOWARD GR XV ES Associated Press W riter

KURE ATOLL, Hawaii (AP) There is no place too small or too remote for Santa - not even this remote speck of coral, where a red-suited St. Nick arrived military-style to let the 22 men and women stationed at a lonely Coast Guard outpost know the outside world does care.

Ho, ho, ho, boomed costumed Petty Officer 1st Class Craig McCrodden, emerging from a transport plane that landed on this 12-mile-long island, 1,200 miles northwest of Honolulu. Have you been good boys and girls?

McCrodden and 42 others aboard the C130 stunned the 18 men and four women serving one year of isolated duty on Kure Atoll with gifts, food and the rare chance for some company five days before Christmas.

This is amazing, said Seaman Renee E. Cauvin, 19, of Orlando, Fla., as people streamed into the Kure LORAN (Long Range Aids to Navigation) station. This will boost morale like crazy.

Lt. j.g. David C. Ely of Norwalk, Conn., who has been here since April, said the special visit will be appreciated because we now know the outside world does care

The crescent-shaped island is the only pjermanently dry land in the atoll at the extreme northwest end of the Hawaiian Archipelago. It is part of the state of Hawaii.

The station, which provides continuous navigational signals for ships and aircraft plying the central Pacific Ocean, is the most isolated assignment in the Coast (iuards 14th District.

Out here we become a close-knit family and we treat each other like a close brother or sister, said Ely, the 26-year-old commanding officer of the LORAN station.

Following the white-bearded and bewigged McCrodden off the C130 were eight employees of McDonalds of Hawaii, wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the words McDonalds of KURE. They served up 150 Big Macs and french fries in the stations mess hall. Later, they helped McCrodden give the station personnel T-shirts and drinking glasses provided by the franchise.

Were not used to wandering groups of people, said Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick R. Burniston, 34, of Orange Park, F a., the stations medic.

The five-hour flight from Honolulu also brought Seaman Apprentice Cheri Gall, 19, of Lansdale, Pa., to her first dpty assignment, and returned Petty Officer 3rd Class Michele Jerauld Capers, 25, of Reno, Nev., from dental surgery in Honolulu.

Kure, which is pronounced curry, is a state wildlife refuge. The island and surrounding agoon are home for about 150 Hawaiian monk seals, the only type of warm-water seal alive today and an endangered species.

It is a breeding colony for sea birds, especially the black and white Layson albatross, better known as gooney birds.

The highest point of land, at the top of the tallest sand dunes, is 26 feet, and the only vegetation is a 5-foot-high bush called scaevola.Maritime air keeps the temperature between 60 and 80 degrees, with humidity averaging 75 percent.

Those assigned to the LORAN station, which was commissioned in 1961, keep busy in their free time by swimming, snorkeling and sailing in a sha low lagoon.

Kure is relatively isolated from the acts of man, Ely wrote in an information sheet for the stations giwsts.

Its an island, said Burnitson,that takesjieople aback. -

Monday. December 24,1984'Dune' Director Says $40 Million Flop Worth Cost

By M ATT WOLF Associated Press Writer LONDON lAP) More than a decade ago. young art student David Lynch spent $2(M) to make a one-minute film, and it almost kept him out of moviemaking forever

1 thought this would be the last film I'd ever do It was just too expensive. said Lynch, who directed the $40 million Dune. It opened earlier this month to negative reviews; (Yitics called it a disaster The Montana-born Lynch appeared before the films opening earlier this month at Londons National Film Theater to discuss a career marked by a notable increase in budgets, from the experimental films of his art student days and the cult favorite. Eraserhead, to the critically acclaimed The Elephant Man." to "Dune

But the soft-spoken, wavy-haired Lynch seemed

unperturbed by the escalating costs of his projects.

Dune reaily did take that much time and that much money to do," said Lynch, who has spent 34 years adapting Frank Herberts 1965 science-fiction classic for the screen.

Set in the year 10,^1 on four different planets, Dune" reportedly required 70 sets and 20,000 extras to tell its epic tale of savior Paul Atreidess defeat of the evil Harkonnens.

Max Von Sydow. Linda Hunt. Sting and newcomer Kyle MacLaclilan head the cast along with the giant, man-eating sandworms designed by E.T creator Carlo Rambaldi at a cost of $2 million.

"Every part of Dune was complicated and expensive, because there were so many people involved doing so many things," Lynch said.

"Material dictates cost." he said. "If I fell in love with something else that cost this much. I would do it.

Some reports peg the films cost at $60 million, but the producers give tm cost at $40 million.

Lynch, known for the offbeat, often disturbing tone of his earlier films, insists that a big budget hasnt blunted his idiosyncratic style.

"Dune was my inter{Mtation, he said, adding that he had turned down an offer to direct Return of the Jedi for producer George Lucas because he didn't think hed have any leeway.

He had already designed three-quarters of it, Lynch said.

You have this horror all at once, because so many possibilities are gone, admitted Lynch about taking on a project as well-known as the book Dune, which has

sold over 10 million copies in 13 languages.

He said that he found the film real challenge -something I thought the cinema could do.

On the surface, Dune is an adventpre story, but it

has so many other elements, said Lynch. Theres its mystical side with its dream visions outer space travel, a floating evil baron and those hungry 1,500-foot worms.

We did not want to do a hardware movie, echoed producer Raffaella De Laurentiis, daughter of Dino De Laurentiis, the Italian producer (rf Hurricane, Conan and King Konc.

We wanted a movie tot would take you places, she said, adding tot Dune will be to the 80s what 2001; A Space Odyssey was to the 70s.

Early critical response to Dune in London has been mixed towards the film as a whole but flattering to Lynch. American critics have largely panned it.

A lot of people said the biggest gamble was not the $40 million, but David Lynch. Thats what Im most proud of, said Miss De Laurentiis.

In Silvermans three years at NBC. 82 of 140 network executives I vice president or above) left the company. Since then. Tinker has kept people in place, rearranged some responsibilities and brought in only two executives: Larry Grossman as president of news, replacing Bill Small who resigned under pressure, and Bud Rukeyser as vice presidenl for corporate communications. Rukeyser left a similar position at NBC in 1980.

The only other major departure was Bob Mulholland. NBCs former .No. 2 executive. "In trying to create a company hierarchy that would be best. I inadvertantly created one extra layer, and that layer had to be removed. said Tinker. "That's not a comment on the man: its a comment on how 1 had structured the company. .Mulholland has not been replaced Essentially, Tinker is managing NBC the way he did MTM Enterprises. the production company of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. "Lou Grant and "Hill Street Blues that Tinker ran from 1970 to 1981. AVhat Tinker seems to do best is 'offer talented people wings and space and ask them to fly,

' think It's too weak to sav 1 like

to reach out to creative people. I must, or I will accomplish nothing. This isnt self-deprecation, but I have no skills of my own," Tinker said. Taking MTM as an example, I'm not an actor or a writer or a director. But its obvious that 1 wouldnt have been making any shows if I didnt attract people who were.

"I have some ability to spot people who do those things well. Since I have respect for those skills and 1 can communicate with those people, they tend to work for me. Its really that simple: I can recruit them. The same is true of management types who are another form of creative worker.

Having produced and sold shows to the networks. Tinker says he abhors "network arrogance and oversupervision. I cant tolerate it. To me, its like a fingernail on a blackboard. I dont think our people behave this way.

Producer Tom Patchett praises Tinker, even though NBC canceled his "Buffalo Bill series. "I dont think our show would have been on any network except NBC. he said. The sitcom, starring Dabney Coleman as an irredeemable talk show host, tested poorly, but NBC gave it several chances.

Patchett previously produced, for Tinker, a variety show called "The Mary Tyler Moore Hour. starring

Tinkers ex-wife. The show was an immediate failure, and Tinker had to fire Patchett and his partner. Jay Tarses. I dont think he ever said the actual words. We had to pull it out of him,said Patchett.

NBC has the reputation for taking more risks and sticking with lowrated but well-regarded shows longer than ABC and CBS.

The truth is we do it for selfish reasons, said Tinker. We want them to succeed. And, besides, people deserve to be treated with civility. When we. sit down and have a meeting, there should be give and take, not just give.

Actually, Tinker does not program NBCs schedule, leaving those day-to-day decisions to NBC Entertainment President Brandon Tartikoff. But the chairmans philosophy is his imprint: "I think we should get the best possible shows and put them in the best possible hands and see if they work.

He misses not having hands-on programming involvement, only now fully appreciating what he did at MTM.

This is no knock on this job, but Ill always rather be a programmer, Tinker said. "At MTM, we were doing just the things we chose to do, and having some success. It was the best of all worlds. I didnt have to wear a tie, and I never wore real shoes.

The Dally Reflector, Greenville, N.C. Mogday. December 24,1964Cigarettes' Illegal Northern Trek Slows

, RALEIGH (AP) Cigarette smu^ling, once respoYisible for sending a steady flow of illegal cigarettes out of North Carolina, has slowed considerably, according to a federal study.

The study, conducted by the Advi-sory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, said that a new anti-smuggling law and tougher enforcement have stemmed the flow of cigarettes from North Carolina to high-tax Northern stal js.

Organized cigarette smuggling has d^lined dramatically since the 1970s, in large measure due to the 1978 Cigarette Contraband Act, the study said.

Chief Has Tribe Hard To Identify

ALABASTER, Ala. (UPI) - Joe Shiwart claims hes the chief of a Cherokee Indian tribe thats not in history books because it went underground to avoid detection, but his detractors say its a ripoff to get federal dollars.

^e chief, who signs checks Joe Two Eagles Stewart, this year gained a seat on the Alabama Indian Affairs Commission, an agency set up by the Legislature to obtain federal grants for Alabama Indians.

Stewart, who retired as chief of the Vestavia Hills police department in 1979, claims the Echota Cherokee Tribe consists of 5,000 members, and he says its not in history books because his ancestors did such a good job of keeping a low profile.

Historical Sketch of the Cherokee by James Mooney, who lived with the Indians a dozen years in the late 19th century, mentions Echota in north Georgia as a Cherokee Indian capital, but never mentions such a band.

Stewart says members of his Shelby County-based group have come out of the closet recently. He said the group went undetected because his ancestors were hiding in the woods, swamps and mountains of central Alabama to escape the Trail of Tears, when Cherokees were forced to move west.

Robert Youngdeer, the chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokees, who lives on the Qualla Boundary Indian reservation in Cherokee, N.C., says some Cherokee were separated from the nation during the forced march, but says "there was no such thing as the Echota Cherokee Tribe.

has pinched North Carolina tax revenues from cigarettes, government officials saioi

Revenues collected by North Carolina from its 2-cents-per-pack tax peaked in fiscal 1976 at $21.5 million. Since then, collections have droj^ 21.7 percent to $16.8 miUion in f^al 1984, according to James P. Senter, deputy secreta^ of revenue.

North Carolinas 2-cents-per-pack tax, lowest in the nation, made it the cigarette smuggling capital of the nation 10 years ago. Smugglers bought their cigarettes here, paying the North Carolina tax. They then hauled the cigarettes to Northern states, where taxes then ranged up to 21 cents a pack, an illegal resale.

Estimates of state and local cigarettes tax losses from all sources ~ includinjg (xrganized and casual smuggling, mail-order cigarette houses and tax-exempt sales on military bases and Indian reservations - ranged up to $400 million a year.

But in late 1978, Congress enacted a tough law under which smugglers caught with 300 or more cartons of cigarettes could be imprisoned for up to five years and fined up to $100,000.

The law made it a federal crime to transport cartons or more from one state to another with the intent to evade state and local taxes. Cigarette distributors were forced to

start keeping recmxls of customers who bought large quantities. Tliat law, and the enforcement effort of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, reversed the tide.

Robert J. Kleine, who headed the commissions study, said in an interview last week that organized cigarette smuggling appears to have almost ended completely. There were a fair number of arrests and prosecutions in 1979 to 81, he said. And it appears to have had an impact.

Inflation also has taken some of the wind out of cigarette smuggling, Kleine said. The smugglers cost of operation, including the price of cigarettes and gasoline to transport

Durham Sees Rash of No-Shows For Inmates On Weekend Terms

DURHAM (AP) - About half the jle expected to return to the lam County Jail for weekend sentences have failed to show up during the first two weekends of December and officials there dont know why.

On the first weekend, 26 of 50 people showed up for their jail terms. For the weekend of Dec. 14, 26of 52 weekend inmates appeared.

District Court Judge David Q. LBarre describes the situation as alarming.

It is tantamount to escape, LaBarre said. "If you order somebody incarcerated as of a certain date and they're not there, then theyve literally escaped from the system. It defeats the purpose of the courts.

District Attorney Ronald Stephens asked, Is this all a big hoax? Does

a jail sentence really mean a jail sentence?

Stephens noted that many weekend inmates, particularly those convicted of the most serious driving-while-impaired offenses, could receive up to two years of active prison time. But the law allows judges to suspend all but 14 days of this time.

Individuals are often allowed to serve the 14 days on seven weekends rather than consecutively so they can be free to continue working.

This is a real break for them, Stephens said. Those who dont show up are basically thumbing their noses at the court. Its very frustrating for us. Im not particularly sympathetic with them.

I think they should be punished more harsly than just being given an opportunity to come back another

Deputy Wounded

' WADESBORO, N.C. (AP) - An Anson County sheriffs deputy was in critical condition with a gunshot wound Sunday and a 61-year-old Anson County man injured in an exchange of gunfire was charged with assault, ^ficialssaid.

Kress Horne, 24, was shot around 4:30 p.m. Saturday after he and two Other deputies responded to reports that a man was shooting a gun near Wadesboro, according to a spokesman for the sheriffs department who di^lined to give his name.

Authorities said when officers called for the man to come out of the house, he threatened to kill the deputies and opened fire. Deputies returned fire, injuring Paul McCoy, officials said.

Beth Swink, a spokeswoman for Charlotte Memorial Hospital, said McCoy was treated for gunshot wounds to the forehead and buttocks and was released.

A sheriffs department spokesman said McCoy was being held without bond in Anson County Jail after being charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury.

weekend, he added.

District Court Judge Orlando Hudson said he finds the no-show situation unacceptable. Such people, he said, should have their weekend sentences revoked and be ordered to the Department of Correction for full-length sentences.

I cant imagine a judge accepting that a person wouldnt show up for weekend jail, said Hudson, who was an assistant district attorney until earlier this month. To serve only on weekends is a big break theyre getting. The burden is on them to be here.

One Durham man was placed on probation June 6 and ordered to serve 14 weekend days behind bars. He served Iff of those days and hasnt been seen since. Another man was placed on probation July 5 and given 15 weekends to serve. He hasnt served any of that time as of Dec. 16.

Of the 26 people on the most recent no-show list, one dozen hadnt served any time at all. Those people had sentences ranging from seven weekend days to 15 weekends.

them, rose faster than the cigarette levies in high-tax states, lowering the smugglers percentage of profit.

The commissions survey said primary problems now include casual smuggling by people who buy cigarettes while traveling through low-tax states and take them home. Other problems include Illegal sales from military bases as well as illegal sales from Indian reservations.

There arent that many states that have an organized smuggling program, Kleine said, but of those that do, they tend to mention North Carolina and Kentucky as the most frequent source of supply .

Joseph M. Wilson, acting special

agent-in-charge of the ATF in North Carolina, said of smuggling, I know for a fact that it is down substantially from what it has been.

The commission said the states that were hit hardest by tax-exempt and illegal sales of cigarettes in fiscal 1983 were Washington, Connecticut, Utah. West Virginia, Wisconsin, Alabama. Hawaii, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Ohio.

The states that experienced a net gain in cigarette and sales tax revenues included New Hampshire, Kentucky, North Carolina, Vermont, Rhode Island, Wyoming, Delaware, Indiana. Alaska and Idaho, according to the commission.

Holiday Spirits Flowing Freely Despite Warmth

PTL Hotel Is Bait'

For People

CHARLOTTE (AP) - PTL president Jim Bakker unveiled Saturday a $37 million hotel, 25-store enclosed mall, 650-seat cafeteria and conference center complex which he says he hopes will be the bait to win people to Jesus Christ.

The PTLs new Heritage Grand Hotel and the Partner Center represents what the ministry feels it must have to net followers for Jesus Christ as the 21st century approaches.

In about a year, the ministry is expected to own the largest hotel between Atlanta and the Washington area. The distinction now goes to Charlottes 598-room Adams Mark Hotel.

The 11-year-old ministry will accomplish little, Bakker said, if its Heritage USA headquarters south of Charlotte resembles the run-down or rugged camps Bakker says typify this countrys Christian retreats.

Jesus said, basically, that we were to be fishers of men Bakker said. And with some of the bait that we have used in the church, I call it dill pickle religion. Ive never seen anyone catch a fish with a dill pickle and sourpuss religion. Were using better bait to win people to Jesus Christ.

Why neglect the masses where the world is building Holiday Inns and Hiltons and Marriotts and resorts? Bakker asked. It used to be the church people would take their vacations and go to a Christian center on their vacation. Theyre not doing that anymore.

PTL opened 320 of the hotels 504 rooms Saturday, which signaled a dramatic step at the 2,200-acre Heritage USA.

RALEIGH, N.C. (UPI) - With cases of liquor stacked inside North Carolinas biggest liquor warehouse waiting for delivery, Decembers unseasonably warm weather is not putting a chill on the sale of holiday cheer.

On a recent day. the states new 200,000-square foot warehouse held about 350,000 cases of liquor more than 800,000 gallons on its six-inch thick, steel-reinforced concrete floors. Alarm systems stood guard over the cache, which will be delivered within the month aboard plain, nondescript 18-wheelers another concession to security.

The liquor in that warehouse will fill up and empty out twice in November and December, said Bill Hester, administrator of the North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. Its the busiest time of the year.

Filling and emptying the warehouse means shipping more than 1.6 million gallons of liquor to

the 384 ABC stores in the state. For Hester and the warehouse staff, the season of holiday cheer is also the season of booming sales.

Sales for November jumped to $27.5 million $3 million higher than the average month. In December 1983. the ABC recorded sales of $36.7 million in 22 working days.

"When you're looking at about a $300 million gross for the whole year, you can see how much December adds to the picture, Hester said.

Local ABC boards decide what sells best in their areas and send their orders to the state. State officials turn the requests over to 90 liquor companies, which fill the orders. North Carolina, one of 18 states that control pricing and distribution of the alcohol, only serves as the liquor warehous^r.

Canadian Mist blended whiskey is the lop seller in North Carolina. But ABC officials said warehouse workers fill more orders for less popular and more expensive spirits.

Monday, uecember 24,1964Tutu Says Four More Reagan Years Too MucK

A-ii

WASHINGTON (AP) - Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa said Sunday he doubts his racially segregated nation can survive four more years of the Reagan administration's so-called constructive engagement policies.

Our situation is so volatile that if we had an explosion now I wouldn't be surprised. " the Anglican churchman said at a news conference following his sermon at the Washington Cathedral.

I dont know that the people can survive four years of the kind of medicine weve been receiving, said Tutu, who recently accepted the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize I said on one occasion it was maybe five minutes to midnight." Tutu said. "1 think 1 can say now its one minute to midnight

In The Area

Both in the sermon and at the news conference, he blamed the United States for the continuation of South Africas official apartheid policy that finds 22 million biacks constitutionally denied rights by 5 million whites.

Tutu said the rest of the world would follow if the Reagan administration scrapped its constructive engagement stance and adopted a firmer policy toward South Africa.

.Administration officials argue that constructive engagement which they describe as quiet diplomacy rather than confrontation will be more effective in the long run.

"If this country does what we asked it to do. apartheid would end tomorrow." the worshippers were told by Tutu, who earlier this month met with President Reagan and asked him to change U.S. policy..

Tutu told reporters that western nations, led by the United States, have "protected the whites in South .Africa "

It is the United States that rules the roost, he said. If the United States coughs, everyone catches a cold.

He said his nation would change the moment Reagan tells South African President Pieter Botha that it was withdrawing the cover ... against the hostility of the world.

The 53-year-old bishop called specifically for an end to South African military violence and the use of banishment and detention orders against the black population, which by law cannot vote or own property.

He said he thought some of the ideas he expressed to Reagan at their Dec. 7 meeting showed up three days later in a speech in which Reagan said apartheid and human rights violations around the world are "affronts to the human conscience."

Two days later, the U.S. State Department said Reagans speech did not represent any change in official policy toward South Africa.

CHICAGO (AP) - Federal authorities are concerned that more than a ton of explosives stolen in the past month could be used by terrorists during the holiday season, although they have no concrete evidence that such an attack is planned, a newspaper reported.

Commanders of military bases in the Midwest were alerted to the possibility of terrorist attacks after the explosives were stolen from three industrial sites, the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday,

The Tribune quoted unidentified federal law enforcement officials as saying they issued the alert because terrorists could be tempted to attack during the Christmas and New Year holidays, when security measures sometimes are relaxed.

"I have nothing before me in the way of intelligence that indicates something may be coming up," the newspaper quoted a high Treasury Department official as saying. But I am concerned, and so are senior law-enforcement officials at both the federal and state levels."

The Treasury official, who spoke on condition that he not be identified, said state law enforcement de-^partments in the Midwest also were warned.

Tutu told rep(Mlers that he thinks racism is at the heart of South Africas problems.

It lo(^ like, when it comes to the crunch, black life doesnt count too much, he said. I dont want to believe that, but the way things operate in the world you find that a black skin is not always a very good thing to have.

Tutu said the continuing demonstrations at the South African Embassy here and elsewhere in America are superb. ... They warmed the cockles of my heart. But he said he did not plan to join them because I dont want to steal their thunder.

The bishop said he expects the world attention brought by the Nobel Prize and his recent travels in

Artillery Fire Opens In Lebanon

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -Artillery exchanges broke out anew Sunday between Christian and Druse militiamen in the Kharroub hills bordering Israels occupation zone in southern Lebanon, police and witnesses reported.

No casualty report was available. The fighting with field artillery and rocket-propelled grenades hit the villages of Debiyeh, Barja and Ain el-Hor in the hills south of Beirut, police said.

Sniping and occasional rockets were reported on the coastal road, and a Lebanese reporter said a stray shell hit about 30 yards south of the Awali River, where Israel has its northern outposts. But the reporter said no one was injured.

The clashes kept up through the day.

The Christian-controlled Voice of Lebanon radio station said the leftist Moslem Mourabitoun militia fought the Druse Progressive Socialist Party militia in several neighborhoods in Moslem west Beirut on Sunday. Shooting could be heard in the western half of the capital, but there was no confirmation of who was involved, or what started it.

Lebanons Higher Military Council, made up of senior army officers, met Sunday to complete preparations for reopening the coastal road.

The road, controlled partly by Druse and partly by Christian fighters, has been closed since February. All sides agreed to reopen it, but arguing over details and the frequent outbreak of fighting south of the capital has delayed the operation.

Quoting the National Police Agency, Kyodo said the number of handguns seized as of Nov. 30 was 60. percent greater than the total for 1983. The previous record for handguns seized in one year was 1,564 in 1976.

Detroit's Profits Go Up, But Fewer Cars Made

By EDW.AKO MILLER AP AmIo Writer

DETROIT (AP) - Just two years after a grave recession, the reborn U.S. auto industry stuffed its pockets in 1984 and spent the money the way it wished every American would on expensive, glittery things with lots ot gadgets and metal

Detroit made ra'ord profits for the second year in a row - and invested logy

billions in high-technology factories and computerized engineering and design centers.

GMs profits for 1983 - announced in February -- came to $;}.73 billion. Ford's $1.87 billion and Chryslers $701 million also were records - and all will be broken when 1984 s figures come out this February.

Those profits were turned while making more than 1 million fewer cars than in the boom sales years of 1973 and 1978.

The Motor Citys renewed confidence was tempered by the presence of an old foe - Japan - and the possibility that it may give in to its own auto companies and end four years of voluntary U.S. import quotas this spring.

General Motors Corp made the biggest news in 1984 by paying $2.5 billion for a huge computer company. Electronic Data Systems Corp. of Dallas, and beginning the merger of the two empires. At the same time. GM embarked on a corporate reorganization, not an easy task for a worldwide employer of 7tK).tK)i) pt'ople

A fourth Japanese automaker, Mazda Motor Corp. of Hiroshima, announced plans to build a car assembly plant in the United States - south of Detroit

All the U S companies cashed in on the renewed popularity of cars, trucks and Jeeps that carry extra horsepower and expensive interiors and

racing-type chassis.

The bigjgest hits on wheels were Chrysler Corp.s minivans and GMs Pontiac Fiero sports car both made in state-of-the-art factories that could be obsolete by the decades end.

American industry today is leaving its smokestack image behind. GM Chairman Roger B. Smith proclaimed after unveiling two hi^ly computerized and robotized assembly plants in Michigan arid Missouri on the same bright April day.

Chrysler erected its first new assembly plant in 20 years, a high-tech affair outside Detroit that puts out cars designed and engineered entirely with computers.

GM, which dominates the big cars that Japan doesnt make, has struck small-car import deals with two Japanese companies and has called for import quotas to end.

Ford. Chrysler and American Motors Corp. depend on smaller cars for substantial chunks of their profits and would be hurt if the quotas end.

The industrys image received a setback early in 1984 when GM and Ford announced their 1983 executive bonuses, the first in several years. Smith received $1.5 million in combined bonus and salary. Ford Chairman Philip Caldwell got $1.4 million. The uproar filled U.S. editorial pages.

Image-conscious Lee lacocca tried to head off problems at Chrysler with smaller shares at the top and bigger ones at the bottom of the executive bonus pool. The chairman kept the amounts secret until this spring, when federal law requires disclosure.

As for the man himself, lacocca: An Autobiography, with its close-up view of his messy 1978 firing at Ford, was an instant hit.

Caldwell is retiring Feb. 1. to be replaced by Ford President Donald

Petersen. He ends a five-year reign with no national strikes and the grratest year-to-year earnings turnaround in Ford history, from $657 million in the hole in 1982 to $1.87 billion in profits in 1983.

GM and Ford signed new agreements with the United Auto Workers union, covering 465,000 workers, that makes nearly $1.3 billion available to retrain, transfer or even buy out employees displaced by improving productivity, ro^tization or the subcontracting of work outside the companies.

GM suffered an estimated $500 million in losses due to short strikes in the United States and in Canada and West Germany.

In rpturn, the companies stuck to a key demand -= the right to say where they will make their cars and parts, even if it means shifting work to non-union factories or shops in the Third World.

A separate GM contract with 25,000 International Union of Electrical Workers members provides lifetime employment in return for two-tier wage scales.

GM invested in five little robotic vision companies, and went ahead with several joint manufacturing ventures, the biggest involving Toyota Motor Corp. in Fremont, Calif. Theyre making subcompact Chevrolet Novas there now, but Chrysler has a federal antitrust suit pending against the linkup.

In Washington, the federal government took GM to court seeking the recall and repair of 1.1 million 1980 front-drive X-body cars that it claims have unsafe brakes. The trial is scheduled to last into 1985.

Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole in August ordered automakers to start installing airbags or automatic seat belts in 1987 model cars - unless states enact mandatory seat belt use laws. Opposed to airbags, the automakers began lobbying in state capitals coast to coast seeking seat belt laws.

Artificial Heart, Baboon Transplant Top Science Feats

By CHRISTOPHER LINDSAY AP Business Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - Banks which arent banks, sponsored by the likes of American Express Co. and Sears. Roebuck & Co., spread in 1984. Banks which are banks, as defined by federal law. suffered their highest failure rate since the Depression and one of the biggest just missed collapsing.

The rebounding U.S. economy, meanwhile, gave some breathing room to banks which have heavy stakes in loans to Third World nations.

The innovative non-bank banks took advantage of a loophole in the federal law which bars interstate banking.

As defined by the Bank Holding Company Act. a bank is an institution that both accepts deposits and makes commercial loans. That cracks the door for a business that either accepts consumer deposits or makes loans.

For example: K mart Corp., in concert with a local savings and loan association back home in Troy, Mich., offered certificate of deposit accounts at the S&L by mail at some K mart stores in Florida.

The non-banks can do things that banks cannot do, such as deal in insurance, real estate, run a travel agency.

Although late into the game, the banks have begun streaming through the loophole too.

Security Pacific National Bank of Los Angeles, for instance, opened an office in King of Prussia, Pa., and Bank of Boston opened a beachhead in Orlando, Fla.

Congress hasnt been able, to date, to agree on legislation to redefine

banks and regulate the non-banks.

However, the chairmen of the Senate and House banking committees have promised legislation in 1985 that would not only put a stop to all of this, but eliminate non-bank banks established after July 1,1983.

Meanwhile, Continental Illinois Bank and 'Trust Co., the nations eighth-largest bank, teetered on the brink of collapse from bad loans until the government tossed a lifeline.

However, at least 75 banks failed in 1984, the worst record since the Depression, when 4,000 banks collapsed.

The complicated, $4.5 billion plan implemented by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. protected Con- i * tinental Illinois depositors but took 80 percent of the ownership interest from shareholders.

The rescue came just two years after the FDIC shut down Penn Square Bank in Oklahoma City. Continental Illinois had bought about $1 billion in energy loans from Penn Square and eventually wrote off many of them.

.NEW YORK AP - In a California hospital, death was hanging over a baby girl with a maltormed heart. In Jasper. Ind.. the heart of an enfeebled .)2-year-old man was rapidly hardening into a useless mass of scar tissue.

Both would have died in a few days had they not been chosen for bold experiments in total replacement of the human heart. Baby Fae survived for three weeks with a walnut-sized baboon heart. William Schroeders circulation was sustained with a machine.

The drama of these desperate efforts - and the questions they raised about how scientific research should be done and who should pay for it made them among the most notable achievements in science in 1984.

Another was the release of a Pentagon-financed study that concluded that an exchange of nuclear weapons could bring on a nuclear winter." in w hich dust from the nuclear explosions would enshroud portions of the Earth, blocking the sun and producing low temperatures that might extinguish life on large areas ot the planet.

Among other important scientific achievements in 1984;

MEDICINE

Researchers in the United States and France found an unusual virus that they believe causes AIDS The discovery is an essential step toward a cure for the fatal acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Doctors in Boston saved the lives of burn victims by covering their wounds with sheets ot their own skin, grown m the laboratory Geneticists engineered the production of Factor VIII. a blood component needed for treatment of a common form of hemophilia. Experimental new vaccines were developed for chicken pox, hepatitis and rabies, among others. A government study of surgery to correct nearsightedness - a controversial procedure - found the procedure effective and relatively safe.

Observations with the 200-inch telescope at Palomar Observatory in California found that the comet may be irregularly shaped or have a patchy surface and that it appears to be rotating. Researchers found evidence of a solar system around the star Beta Pictoris, 293 trillion miles away, and a planet-like body was seen in the constellation Ophiuchus. but astronomers could not agree on whether it was a planet or a star

ANTHROPOLOGY

Researchers digging for bones in Florida stumbled on to 7.000-year-old brains well enough preserved to permit analysis of their DNA. or genetic material In Kenya, American scientists working with Richard akey. director of the National Museums of Kenya, found an area with thousands of 18-million-year-old bones belonging to creatures that may be ancestors of apes and humans. And the "best 50-miIlion-year-old gold mine of fossils in the world was found in Wyoming, according to Leonard Krishtalka of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

PHYSICS

A team of scientists led by Carlo Rubbia of the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva found the T or top quark, the last

of the six q^rks thought to be among the most fundamental building blocks of nature Researchers in Germany, meanwhile, compounded the mysteries of nuclear physics by finding a particle called Zeta that is unlike all the other

known subatomic particles. And an extremely dense form of matter believed to exist only in the core of collapsed stars was produced in a laboratory in Berkeley. Calif.

higrimage To Shrine Is Top Religious Event In Paraguay

By WILLIAM II. HEATH .Associated Press Writer

CAACUPE. Paraguay (AP> -Eugene Coonally used to drive a truck in Brooklyn. .\.Y. Now he takes to the road just once a year, but only on foot as a Roman Catholic riest.

He leads his flock on a 53-mile march to take part in Paraguay's most popular religious event, one that reflects national problems as well as faith.

The annual pilgrimage to this tiny town in the rolling, red-earth hills of central Paraguay, site of the Shrine of the Virgin of the Miracles of Caacupe. attracts close to 1 million people, by church estimate, nearly one third of the California-sized nation s population.

Devotion to the Virgin Mary is strong throughout Latin Americi and pilgrimages, coinciding with the Dec. 8 celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, draw hundreds of thousands to shrines in

many natiwis. But few, if any, match this one in terms of the percentage of the populace taking part, church officials say.

The shrine dates back to a miracle said to have occurred early in the 17th century, when a Christianized Indian asked the Virgin to save him from a band of pursuing pagan Indians and thep upon survival carved her wooden image as a gesture of thanks.

Nowadays throngs come on foot, some without shoes; in buses, luxury automobiles and two-wheeled ox carts. They begin converging on this town of 20.000 several days before Dec. 8. although most make the trip the day before.

- "Our group comes in pursuit of a theological and biblical theme. said Connally. a veteran of 17 years in Paraguay and parish priest in Coronel Oviedo. 87 miles east of Asuncion. the capital. "But the motives generally are pretty much a personal thing for each one.

Many come in payment of promises made for favors asked of the Virgin. Others come out of curiosity and some of the young peq>le are just out to have a good time like an excursion to Coney Island.

The pilgrims visit the shrine inside the white basilica, hear Mass, which is said every hour around the clock from the steps of the huge building; visit a nearby spring whose waters are said to have miraculous powers, and take a quick tour of camival-like streets featuring food and souvenir stands and open-air gambling.

Most, however, plan their trip to arrive in time for the Dec. 8 procession and the principal Mass, attended by Gen. Alfredo Stroessner, Paraguays president for 30 years, and other high civilian and military officials.

Government-church ties have been strained since 1972 when the right-wing regime closed a church-backed weekly newspaper on charges of subversion. Msgr. Ismael Rolon,

archbisbq) of Asunciim and a critic oi the govemmoits human rights reoMt), has refused to occupy a seat reserved tw the church l^d on the 21-man Council of State, which decrees laws during the four months the national Ccmgress is not in session.

But the churchmoi have their say at Caacupe.

As Stroessner lo(4[ed on from a nearby balcony during this years ceremony, Msgr. Demetrio Aquino, bishop of Caacupe, touched on social, political and economic ills in a homily in the Guarani Indian language, which is spc^en along with Spanish by all Paraguayans.

Evils confronting the Paraguayan family, he said, are a lack of Gods presence in the home, disunion, marital infidelity, divorce, abortion, lack of sources of work, cmtraband, dishonesty of public officials, lack of respect and a dangerous loss of the notion of good and evil.

What the church is doing is

constructively channeling popular religitm, said a youf^ {Migrim, spiking on condition of anonymity.

people are responchng very well. Before they came only to see the Virgin and didnt even go to Mass. Now they come, hear Mass and listen to what the {uiests say.

T1>e government also drew fire from leaders of the Colorado Popular Movement, an unrecognized dissident faction of Stroessners Colorado Party. They charged that police had ordered them not to participate in this years pilgrimage.

This years ceremony also pro-

duced complaints about living which, according to official figures, rose by 23.3 percent from January to October, 1984.

African Women Are Seeking Stronger Voice

By MR IIKLLE K \l L Associated Press Writer .ARUSHA. Tanzania (AP) - Atn can women are seeking a more productive role as tarmers. radical changes m men's attitudes toward them and more education so the\ will come to know their constitutional rights.

Those were the high points of a recent conterence here ot :!oo women from .African countries who considered their status on a continent where women ha\ e been subservient to men tor centuries But against a backdrop ot drought and tamine that threatens millions ot Atricans. the emphasis was on the roles women pla\ in larmmg and the production ot lood. The women said the\ could contribute greatly to food production it given the chance.

On that issue, they won support trom the host country's President Julius .\yerere who lamented that women otten were excluded from iniportant discussions on rural development m .\trica.

He said women, who comprise

more than half the continents 466 million people and 60 to 80 percent of its agricultural labor force, are "the greatest victims of exploitation in Africa - exploitation by African societies ruled by men.

The also conference heard this sampling of case histories from various delegates on women in farming:

-In Senegal, the United Nations Children's Fund gave rice-planting machines to village women in Cassamance region to ease their burden. But men took over the machines and women continued to plant rice by hand.

-In Tanzania, where women grow most of the food, a study showed that only 21.3 percent of secondary school girls were taught agriculture "Women are considered to be for the kitchen, "the report said

-In Kenya, an irrigation and settlement scheme brought in mechanized land preparation. But while machines relieved men ot much of iheir hard labor, irrigation greatly increased the acreage under

cultivation and the extra burden fell on women.

The delegates were invited to the conference by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, the Organization of African Unity and the Pan-African Womens Conference.

One major conclusion of the gathering was that in the International Womens Decade, women still suffer widespread discrimination and abuse.

"Much has been achieved, but much more needs to be achieved, a final report said.

A welter of reports underscoring the plight of women suggested that men have become the main beneficiaries of the fruits of freedom in independent Africa over the past two decades, after more than a century of European colonial rule.

As for Africa's famine, delegates urged governments to recognize that women can help solve the food crisis.

Delegates argued that women traditionally start work in huts and

Store Has Small Building But Its Inventory Is Large

YAUPON BEACH, N C (APi -The tiny store sits unobtrusively along Yaupon Drive, the sign above tjie building indicating its contents: Variety.

Inside, the silver-haired woman behind the counter directs a delivery man to the storeroom. Against the wall six feet behind her are fruits, cold cuts and wine. Refrigerators full of canned drinks line the wall about eight feet to her left. In front of her, a few feet away, is the entrance to Maples Variety Store.

"It's packed full." Maida Maples acknowledges of the store she and husband Chuck have tended for 12 years. But she knows where everything is. Ask her where the needles are and shell point to the area below the television, beside the crackers. Spools of thread, however, are in the other room next to the drinking straws.

Fishing rods hang from the ceiling. knives are conveniently found next to the cash register, and most of the groceries are in the slightly larger room to the left.

It is home for Mrs. Maples nearly *18 h'lurs a day. and she loves it. When her husband is tending the ^store, it opens at 6 a.m.,* she said.

pickup: be opei

But "the locals know when his )s gone that Im not going to open at 6. More than likely, customers will find her at the store by 7, however, and the door doesn't lock until 1a.m.

The 67-year-oid proprietor is on a first-name basis with most of her customers, explaining that with the type of store we have, it just comes natural.

Mrs. Maples is firm in her business dealings, but she does most of it with a smile. The best part of her job. she said, is arguing with my customers.

A lot of people think Im terrible the way I talk to people, she said with a grin. Young people who come into the store for biser sometimes get a lecture if they have been drinking. She refuses to give credit for beer and foolish stuff. Groceries are the only purchases she allows on credit, and then I have to feel that they really need it, Mrs. Maples said. I get a lot of hassles s<Hnetimes, but it doesnt bother me. I can handle it. Often, the locals will stop by just to chat. When others come in to miy something, they just step aside, Mrs. Maples said. Her daughter used to chide her for woridiig id the ttmi,

she said, but she told her. This is my life, my social life. I socialize in here as much as I work.

In the afternoons, Mrs. Maples said she usually takes a break to embroider or use the sewing machine that sits near the cash register. I dont care what you do, you need a break, she said. With a passion for sewing and a hankering for ceramics, theres just not enough time in the day to do the things I like to do.

"I am seriously thinking about retiring next year, she admits, then says maybe it will be semi-retirement. She cant imagine someone else in charge of putting up the stock because "nobody else who works in here knows where things is.

There is no heat in the little store except that generated by the refr erators and the portal: heater at her feet. She said it isnt often a iM-oblem, thoi0. Im not cold, are you?

Just then she has customers. They grab two 16ounce soft drinks aim hand her a dollar. I need 20 cents, she tells them, then looks up with a IwiaklalDlHtiSw. .

fields as early as the age of 10, still toil beyond 60, and are the main peasant producers of food.

In a ^per looking ahead to the year 2000, Patricia Bifani, a consultant for the Economic Commission for Africa, concluded that if no major changes are made, African women will be forced off the land into urban slums where many will turn to prostitution.

The overall diagnosis of the situation of women in Africa in terms of the quality of life, working and living conditions, health, nutrition and education seems to be catastrophic for themselves, their children and the region as a whole, she said. ^

The delegates conceded that women are now enjoying more and better education and health care and that as a result, infant deaths have dropped and almost as many girls as boys go to primary school.

But one report noted that there was still a hi^ dropout rate of girls

from both primary and secondary schools because of pregnancies and early marriages.

Womens demands for equal rights sometimes are being met, on paper at least, on a continent where women have for centuries been subservient to men, according to a paper by a delegate from Ghana. But it added that in practice, women have a long way to go to enjoy those rights.7? of HolidaysTouve been a joy to know and serve.

^viets Have Abundant Toys That Prepare Children For Life

By LOUISE BRANSON ^ MOSCOW (UPI) - From machine guns to Misha bears, Soviet toys often break easily, but pampered Rvesian kids have plenty of them. And most are good pr^ration for Soviet life.

. llie major Moscow toy store, Childrens Wwld, I opposite KGB headquarters, is always packed with : indulgent parents buying from the most ovo-loaded : shelves in the country.

* The choice of toys clearly shows what is expected from f future Soviet men and women.

! Military Secrets, for example, is a popular board game in which the 6>mmunists have to defeat the nasty capitalist enemy, depicted as fat men in black coats

grasping bags of monev.

About half the toys for boys in Childrens World are

military model tanks, soldiers fatigues and realistic-looking rifles.

Small wonder that one of the most common sights in Soviet streets is young boys staging mock battles. Later

they will handle real weapmis during their compuls(Nry two years military service.

For girls the emphasis is on homemaking - toy sewing machines, food mixers and plastic dolls tea sets. A recent article in the trade union newspaper Trud explained why.

Boys and girls are meant to be different, it said. Toys teach girls how to become ideal women: mother sand housekeepers.

Soviet toys are bright and colorfid. But like consumer

of those in New Yoi^, Paris or**UxK^n. Even the Soviet press often criticizes them.

Many toy trucks or trains for voung children, for example, are made of metal and have dangerously sharp Iges.

Mothers complain that others have a habit of falling apart within a week of being taken home. There are none of the beeping electronic games and gadgets that are all the rage in the West.

Prices vary so much that parents can get some wcmderful bargains or pay what may seem outrageous.

Bargains include large bright stuffed toys like hippos, pandas or bears for prices of around $6. Pretty dolls with changes of clothes go fw similar prices. Old-fashioned and long-lasting wooden toys like painted models of the Kremlin towers, which cost a little less are another fav(Hite.

This years hottest item is a simple battery-operated toy car at a little uiKler $6.

There are also some excellent kits for young scientists, like a set of some 20 (q)tical lenses for $30.

But Soviet parents shy away from expensive electric toys like trains and railways at around $30, which are notorious for breaking down, "njey also bypass cheaper plastic and rubber toys that are very expensive in an uncompetitive market. One large inflatable plastic b^ch ball, for example, sells for around $9.

Practical toys like tool sets are difficult to find because they are snapped up by adults. They cannot get

the real thing so they make do with toy versions.

Adults also take a more than fatherly interest in some of the military toys, jiKlging by the crowd of enthusiastic men around a flashy tottery-operated tank the other day.

By far the best toys are from East German} well-made electric trains, jigsaw puzzles and construe tion kits that sell quickly whenever they appear, especially just before the New Year holiday.

New Year is the big day for gifts in an officially atheist country that does not celebrate Christmas.

Children get New Year presents brought to them 1)> Santa Claus-lookalike Grandfather Frost and his granddaughter, Snegurochka the Snow Maiden.

Grandfather Frost does his New Year stint iii Childrens World, placing youngsters on his knee and asking what they want for New Year if theyve been good.

Thousands of Grandfather Frosts and Snegurochkj' swarm over Soviet cities on New Years Eve.

By BRUCE M. SMITH Associated Press Writer

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Its a story of preparing for the future and preserving the past of confnmtation and coc^ration.

The players are members of the federal bureaucracy, lawmakers, a mayor, and hundreds of Charlestonians whose passion for preserving their city has created a living museum in narrow streets of its historic district.

The stage is the famous Four Comers of Law with its structures representing city, state, federal and Gods law. And the moral as interpreted by the preservationists is that, given time, patience and goodwill, tte past doesnt have to be trampled in the inexorable neh toward the future.

For seven years, a controversy that drew national attention has swirled around the Four Corners and government plans to build an annex to the federal courthouse there.

The corner of Meeting and Broad streets is probably one of the most significant intersections in the state of South Carolina if not in the nation in the words of state Historic Preservation Officer Charles Lee. It includes St. Michaels Episcopal Church dating to the 1750s, Charleston City Hall built around 1800, the Charleston County Courthouse built in the 1800s and the granite federal courthouse, built around the turn of the century.

Certainly in almost any other city in our country there would not have been the interest in, or scrutiny of, a proposed annex to a federal courthouse," said Mayor Joseph Riley Jr. But this is an enormously important place in our city and an enormously important city in our countr>'.

The annex has had a number of incarnations on the drawing boards and preservationists have had a like number objections to its location and design.

There were worries it wouldnt be in keeping with the areas 18th Century buildings and homes with their gables and breezy piazzas. There were fears that driving foundation piles would damage the fragile walls of nearby St. Michaels.

Some were concerned about where the annex should be situated in relation to the existii^ courthouse.

Tempers have flared at times during mcn^e than 100 meetings, conferences^ ami public hearings over the years.

At a rare field hearing of the Presidents Advisory Council on Histwic Preservation a year ago, the latest versicm (rf the project was dubbed ^' IHrelude to folly and an architectural moi^trosity.*

At the time, Riley proposed the annex be built in s<Hne newly-vacated storefronts down Broad Steet. Others suggested Inreaking up the Four Owners and moving the courts to Nwth Charleston.

The Advisory Council ordered the federal General Services Administratiwi to look into Rileys idea and other alternatives, including the use of the old county jail. And exasperated GSA Regional A(tainistrator Don Layfield said somewhere we'll have to stop sorting nails and drive a few (rf them."

The GSA reviewed the project as ordered but announced in May that building the annex where it was originally planned adjacent to the courthouse facing Meeting Street was the best alternative.

There was renewed oppositicm and U.S. Sen. Ernest HoUings, D-S.C., accused the GSA of giving the people an audience without any hearing.

Later, U.S. Rep. Tommy Hartnett, R-S.C., tried to get Cmigress to delete funding for the $5 million project. That effort failed, but a congressional subcommittee directed the GSA to reach an agreement with local residents, .

After a number of closed-door meetings, there was a breakthrough late last summer and both sides a^eed the 22,009-square-foot annex should be, built, not on the street, but sitting back behind the courthouse and a small* park.

A public hearing this month was a stark contrast to the sometimes-acrimonious goings-on of previous years. One observer termed it a lovefest. t

But all involved agreed patience and a .willingness to listen to both si^ V ere keys to the long-sought agreement on where to build the annex. " *

Riley called it a very substantial community accomplishment. We savp. and protect one of the most important vistas in our city and we keep intact; the uses of the Four Corners of Law.

The Rev. Edwin C. Coleman, the rector of St. Michaels, said the neW l(x:ation shows the GSA has been trying to cooperate with us and come to a reasonable solution

German language students at Dickinson College, a four-year liberal arts institution with a strong emphasis on language study, recently had an hour-long conversation in German with staff members at the National Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven, West Germany. The talk took place by means of an international satellite transmission that traveled approximately 200,000 miles through space and across land and ocean.

The broadcast, the first international satellite transmission in the history of language instruction, was part of a pilot project developed by the National Committee for Internationalizing Education Through Satel

lites (NCIES).

Headquartered at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, NCIES is a private, non-profit corporation macle up of 18 experts in the fields of language and international studies, curriculum development, instructional technology, satellite broadcasting, and communications law.

Our aim in developing this model that employs live interactive satellite telecommunications is to internationalize education," said Dr. Thomas Naff, (iirector of the NCIHJS project. We want to give students an opportunity to experience oxr cultures while they are still in this country.

After viewing a half-hour introductory program on Germany, the Dickinson College students participating in the project began a conversation on German immigration with members of the museum staff. I

This Man's

Best Friend Is A Horse

CARMEN, Okla. (AP) - Jim Beckwith was a lonely man. until Baldy came into his life.

Baidy, a tobacco-chewing, roan-colored colt, is Beckwiths best friend. They can sit for hours, and Baldy doesn't seem to mind helping I out with the chores.

Beckwith does the talking but Baldy listens. He wont let the old man out of his sight follows him around the yard like a pet dog.

Beckwith, an 87-year-old retired jockey and rodeo performer, lives in a tiny mobile home on about 10 acres of land outside Carmen. He hadnt raised horses for several years until Baldy.

The two met at a horse sale in Woodward last June Beckwith went there for something to do. He hadnt intended to buy a horse.

None of the other buyers would touch Baldy because he had a glass eye - an imperfection in the eyeball.

Beckwith felt sorry for the animal and offered $100 for the horse. That afternoon, Beckwith and a couple of handlers unloaded the colt.

He just went crazy because hed left his mother, Beckwith said. So I moved a chair out to the corral and spent the night there with him. Ive been his mother ever since.

That night may have been the beginning of the bond between the two. Beckwith said.

At feeding time every day, hell come and knock on the door of that trailer.

When Beckwith opens the door, Baldy sticks his head inside and nickers.

Beckwith feeds him and, for a treat, gives him an occasional chew of tolracco.But Baldys habit has become so pronounced that whenever Beckwith pulls out a package of chewing tobacco, the colt immediately begins nuzzling it.

Better than any dog, he said. Baldys the only company I got.

College Education

By CHANGING TIMES The Kiplinger Magatiae

The worrv season is here. Young peoi^ apply to cdtege and woiry abqul gettiEA in. If th^ do, parents worry about tooting the bill.

ItWre 'a worried parent, you shoiw contact ctrflege nnancial aid offices for information and [dan to api^y for aid early and ^mestly, ^

Even a family witti a relatively high iincone might qualify for some loan aid, though generally colleges expect these families to give until it

huHs

If you fail to qualify for aid, talk with the college financial aid administrator, who may accept or revise the estimated parent coi-^ tribution determined by the standard assessment formula. Uniform Methodology. But diances are the figure will stand.

If the collie thinks the applicant is outstanding, it might discount tuition or break the general rule that scholarships and g^ntis go only to tho^ with financial needs. They may know of outside financial sources.

You could ask to have your coitrilHitio) reclculated usii^ the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) tables, which consider only adjusted gross income and family size, not assets. *

Your famify contribution could be

signifcantly lower, but you forfeit apy fedora] aid oir thah a GSL,

such, as the College Work-Study ttat could be worth about 1875a year.

Howeter, if you were ineligible fw a GSL because the family has income of over $30,000 and no dem(strated need,'you now can apply to a participatii^ lender for up, to 12,500 a year (minus origination and insurance fees).

to 140'." Some colleges administer installment payments themsdves. Others use a management service, such as Academic Management Services of Pawtucket, R.L, or EFI-Fund Management of Prospct Heights, 111.

2) Tiiition prepayment plans:

Beginning this year at the Umver-sity of Penidylvania, qualified parents could pay four years tuition up front at the 1984 rate, $9,000, usii^ unsecured loan funds from Philadelphia Natimial Bank.

The minimum required down payment was 12,400 ai tb^ had to

4) A second mortage or home-

start repayment one month after the (hshursement.

first

New GSL borrowers pay 8 percent interest, which the government pays throughout the duration of schooling and for six months afterwards.

There are other ways to pay college bills:

1) Installment plans:

Many colleges let parents spread a years total over nine to 12 monthly payments, instead of the usual two. Expect an annual service fee of $30

At 10 percent annual percentage rate (APR); they

will pay $476 a month for iQ) to 10/ years. The loan will be adjitd to reflect the actual time the student spends at the university.' Other institutions have their own versions of this plan.

3) OtlMr loans from'the college:

The college may be able to muster a loan pool from their own resources or a cooperative bank. Often you must start paying these loans back

latter usually carry floating interest rates two or three points above thejHime rate.

5) PLUS loans:

Under this little-used federal loan (Ht^am, parents can borrow up to $3,000 a year at 12 percent for each dependent undergraduate child without demonstrating need, and a child may already nave a GSL. Parents have at least five to 10 years to repay the onseciffed loan, starting 60 days after they get ieir money.

Look (or a cooperative bank, savings and loan, or credit union, dieck with your state student loan guarantee, agency; or try United Student Aid Funds, a nonprofit firm that will help an eligible person get a PLUS loan or a GSL. Call USA Funds at (800) 428-9250; in Indiana, call (800) 382-4506.

6) Commercial education-financing plans:

You can contact these for-profit financial organizations without going through a college:

' - Students Financial Services, Suite 501, One Perimeter Way, N.W., Atlanta, GA 30339. Its Collegeaire Tuition Reserve and Deposit Plan is a "stretch saving account or credit line with Citizens Bank d Dallas, Ga.

You must keep, for examine, $11,200 in a Citiz^ Bank saving account in exchange fix* $7,000 per year over four years. You pay 11.9 lercent APR (Ml the outstanding lalance, retiring y(Hir debt in 81 variable monthly j^yments. If you received money twice a year, you would pay atxNit $5,500 in finance charges.

Compare the cost of a secured loan like this with an unsecured loan, and take into account the difference between what you earn on the deposit serving as security and what you might earn on it elsewhere.

The Richard C. Knight Insurance Agency Inc., 53 Beacon St., Boston. MA 02108 offers an unsecured 80-month Extended Repayment Plan. The interest rate is adjusted quarterly and floats 4 percentage points above the 13-week

U.S. Treasury MB rate. If rates take (tff, your mcHithly paymeiU doesnt change, but you have to make more payments and-or a' larger final payment.

Interest and mandatory insurance cost on $28,000isabout $6,691.

- The TuitiOB Plan, Concord, NH 03301. The Educational Financing Program is a fixed-rate unsecured loan with an annual perc^ge rate of 18.5 percent at this writing. Interest cost on $28,000 is about $7,023.

The mandatory {m* optional insurance these commercial plans offer generally gives modest coverage for relatively high premiums. If insurance is (^ional. Changing Times suggests you mi^t do better to buy a single comjMhensive insurance policy that covers education expenses along with other needs. National' Insurance Consumers Organization recommends Berkshire Life. Pittsfield, Mass., for this.

NICO recommends Savers Life, which is marketed through S&Ls, for a separate term policy to cover education.

More Factory-Built House Sections Are Being Used

By CHANGING TIMES The Kiplinger Magazine

An increasing percentage of all new housing in America includes some form of manufactured components, ranging from roof trusses to entire modular homes.

This boom in prefabricated housing offers some investment possibilities.

Investors have three ways to go: the big buiMers who are increasingly incorporating factory-built components into their products, the mobile-home makers, and private bunding ventures.

potential gain from any of the three (iepends largelv on the overall helfo of the residential housing business.

At first sight, it would appear that home builders should have made a mad scramble to in-plant manufacturing many years ago, once it was demonstrated how easily wall panels and complete home sections could be built in a controlled production environment free of the weather vagaries that can delay on-site construction.

That sort of entr^reneurial burst has ..not materialized. Still, pre-fabrfcation is accounting for a

mounting share of home building.

Figures provided to Changing Times magazine by the Home Manufacturers Council of the National Association of Home Builders indicate that production of modular, precut and panelized one-to-four family housing units excluding those tmilt by major industrialized home builders was expected to amount to 175,000 units in 1984.

Another 15,000 buildings with five or more living units are expected to be prefabricated. Production of mobile homes may climb to 300,000 units.

Those numbers do not include all the smaller manufactured components that are regularly bought by builders.

Manufactured housing is produced by a wide variety of companies, many small and privately owned or highly diversified. Investors interested in this area need to check how , much of a companys activity actually consists of prefab work.

Among the major buildirtg-industry companies that produce prefabricated fwmes and-or sections are: Insilco Corp (Miles Homes, Nationwide Homes); National Homes; Ryan Homes; Ryland

Group; and U.S. Home.

Their product lines vary considerably. Fcm* example. National Homes makes panelized sections; Ryland does complete modular units.

The major mobile home producers are Champion Home; Coachmen

Industries; Fleetwood Enterprises; Oakwood Homes; Redman Industries; Skyline Corp., and Zimmer Corp.

Coachmen, it should be noted, gets most of its sales from motor homes and travel trailers. Only about 9 percent of its sales comes from manufactured h(xnes aiid modular units.

Building and mobile-home stocks, characteristically volatile, have been battered this year by setbacks in earnings, rising interest rates and the general weakness of the market.

One case: U.S. Home shares more than doubled last year from $10 to $20.75. The company pushed earnings up to 80 cents from 37 cents the year befiire. But it reported a loss of 25 cente a share for the first half of, 1984. U.S. Homes manufactured homes division operated at a loss both last year and in the first half of this year.

CARRYING A TORCH - Philippe Fiers begins the job of measuring each piece of glass in the original torch of the Statue of Liberty. Much of the original glass has been cracked over the years and is held together with

tape. The torch will be restored and then displayed in a museum at the base of the statue. A new torch will be used in the statue. (AP Laserphoto)

Short Wave Radi Means Of Broa

By CH.ANGING TIMES The Kiplinger Magazine

You dont have to leave home to explore the world with a shortwave

radio.

Push a button, turn a knob, and you can get a British perspective on world news from the BBC. international economic analyses from South Africa or leftist views from Nicaraguas Sandistas.

Shortwave listening is a convenient way to brush up on a foreign language, but there are also daily broadcasts in English from more than 30 countries.

1 Pass 1 ^ Pass

2 T Pass ?

What do you bid now?

A. You are worth a try for game, but should you invite by bidding two no trump or three hearts? Weighing against no trump is your lack of a sure diamond stopper. The drawback of three hearts is that your values are all soft'and you have only a four-card suit. All in all, we think that two no trump is the more descriptive rebid.

The bidding has proceeded:

1 T Pass 2 0 Pass

2 Pass ?

W'hat do you bid now?

A. You have an awkward rebid. You certainly want to be in game but you can't raise partner and jumping to three no trump with a suit unstopped is unpleasant. That leaves only two spades. While we would not like to recommend a steady diet of bidding three-card suits, this is clearly the best way to get partner to bid no trump if he has a club stopper.

What do you bid now?

A. Again, we arrive at the solution by a process of elimination. Our two-over one response promised a rebid, but we cant raise hearts with only threecard support and a preference to spades is out. Equally unthinkable is rebidding our scragg ly club suit and we are not strong enough to force to game with three diamonds. That leaves only two no trump.

The bidding has proceeded:

North East South West

1 Pass 2 Pass

What action do you take?

A. If partner can make game opposite this motley collection of quacks" (queens and jacks), he should have bid it himself. The only question is whether you should correct to three spades. Since partner has announced a balanced hand, he might find eight tricks easier to come to than nine, especially since he won't be able to ruff anything in your hand.

Shortwave receiver technology has advanced so far that you'can get a portable unit barely latter than a pocketbook. Most modes receive local AM and FM as.well as shortwave broadcasts.

What has made shortwave listening especially attractive in the past couple of years is the emergence of computerized receivers thit tune to a station automatically when you key in the frequency number.

Shortwave broadcasts use AM radio waves, but the waves are shorter than those used fer local AM broadcasts. The length of the radio waves transmitted identifies each of the segments (bands) used for shortwave broadcasting.

The frequency, or number of waves transmitted per second, also identifies the shortwave bands. One million waves per second equals one megahertz (MHZ).

Most shortwave receivers pick up the major international broadcasts, but some units have more bands than others or a greater frequency range within each band. Reception quality depends on the season, time of day, geography, and other factors.

Most stations broadcast on two or more frequencies, and computerized tuning lets you .quickly compare them to decide which gives the clearest reception at a particular time and place.

If you are in the market for a shortwave radio, consult the equipment reviews in the bible of shortwave listening, the World Radio TV Handbook."

For extensive information on all types of shortwave receivers, consult, "Radio Receivers - Chance or Choice," by Rainer Lichte (distributed by Gilfer Associates, 52 Park Ave., Park Ridge, NJ 07656; $12.95 paperback).

You can look at models in retail stores or catalogs for further details. You may want to consider the following characteristics:

- Sensitivity is the ability to pick up weak and distant signals. This is as good on some of the miniaturized models as on their larger counterparts.

- Selectivity keeps nearby channels from interfering with the one you're listening to. This is harder to find in a small portable.

- Image rejection helps eliminate varying whistles and other interference.

Available features include: a power switch lock, which keeps the radio from turning on accidentally and draining the batteries; digital frequency readout; keypad station selection; automatic scanning; the ability to store frequencies in memory for quick tuning; a clock with an alarm; and an antenna that will rotate to a 90-degree angle to accommodate the radios position and provide best reception.

Warranty periods range from three months for Radiq Shacks Realistic brand to two years for the Panasonic line. You can find ads for discounts in periodicals that cover shortwave.

You cant beat the small size of the Panasonic RF-9 ($90). Its suitable for hearing major broadcasts while youre traveling; however, reception is usually better on the slightly higher priced Toshiba RP-Fll.

For home listening, you might

Closing Qf Oil Refinery Raises Economic Threat To Netherlands Antilles

B> hhl{\ \.\ Tl'RNEK Associated Press Writer WILLEMSTAD. Curacao lAP) -A golden age brought on by oil refineries and shipping has ended in the .Netherlands Antilles. The prosperous Caribbean islands now worry about plunging into poverty and social unrest.

For years, oil experts have warned that the islands' second most important source of income and foreign exchange after tourism refining cheap Vene7uelan crude oil into fuel oil for shipment to the L.S. marketplace was obsolete, Inem'ployment has increased to 20 pi^rcen! of the popelation in Curacao and 0 4 fHT'cent in smaller but wealthier Aruba as their refineries, once the worlds largest, reduced production.

Then this {Xist Dctober the islanders' worst tears were realized: Exxon's Lago retinery on Aruba announced it would close down ,Ian. 1 alter uu years a> tht' island's major employer Exxon said it could no longer make a profit without cut-rate crude oil trom \'enezuela. The nearby .South American country, itself in economic turmoil, ended its special prices to the retineries earlier in !W4

This IS die v.orst and most shocking mow- the present generation o! Anii'.a has ever had to face.

Nobody every visualized Aruba without Lago, said Gilberto Betico Croes, the political leader on Aruba.

More than 1,500 employees and contract workers will be thrown out of work, along with thousands of others in support industries.

Exxons closure sent a wave of anxiety rippling across the short span of Caribbean sea separatii^ Aruba from neighboring Curacao, home of the Royal Dutch Shell refinery The company has said that if it does not get special tax and other concessions from the local government, it might pull out, too.

its a permanent reversal for the islands, former Prime Minister Don Martina said in a recent interview.

Labor leaders representing the Lago refinery employees and contract wo.*'kers warn of a social explosion unless new jobs are found in Aruba, an infertile, rocky island with a population of 63,000, chiefly dependent on the refinery and tourism for a living.

.Milo Arends, president of the Independent Oil Workers Union of Arulw. said the closure will immediately push unemployment on Aruba from its current 9 percent to 25 ptTcent. and possibly even higher if businesses built around Lago banks, restaurants, hardware and marine stores go broke.

I dont think people will begin burning down things, iHit they will protest, he added.

It could become very dangerous when families dont have any money to feed their children and nothing is done.

Government officials in Willemstad, the capitaMf the..>six-island Netherlands Antilles^ an autonomous parliamentary democracy within the Kingdom of the Netherlands - are looking for alternative sources of employment and income.

The first blow, the most important effect of the closing down of Lago is how to earn the foreign exchange lost from that sector, said George Curiel, director of the governments Department for Development Cooperation.

Our whole economy has grown based on the international (oil) market. If it were not for that we would be very poor islands; you cannot import without foreign exchange.

The people of the Netherlands Antilles are accustomed to one of the highest standards of living in the Caribbean, with a per capita annual income of $5,500.

Prosperity is still evident everywhere, from the graceful, arched bridge over the Willemstad harbor to the new cars moving down narrow streets between freshly painted stores filled with electronic gadgets, French perfumes and imported fashion wear.

But the economy is lopsided since little is produced or manufactured locally. Without oil and tourist dollars there would be no way to import foodstuffs and consumer goods. Tourism earnings dropped this year when a currency devaluation in Venezuela discouraged foreign travel by its citizens, who had been frequent visitors.

A major economic prop is the development aid from the Netherlands in Europe, more than $50 million a year since 1976. Half of it has been spent on public utilities, low cost housing and schools.

Prime Minister Maria Liberia Peters said she was banking on Dutch interest in the kingdom to keep the Royal Dutch Shell refinery open on Curacao.

"In spite of the over-capacity of refineries in the area and in the world, I still think that Shell... has a fighting chance, she said.

There is a move to have the service sector replace the petroleum sector as the major dollar earner by providing other countries with offshore banking, transportation and trade facilities. Some have suggested converting Curacao into a silicon island a center of information for the Caribbean and Latin America.

The prime minister said in an interview that her central government would stimulate the creation of small businesses.

The closure of the Lago refinery coincides with a critical moment in islands political history.

Under an agreement reached with the Netherlands and the five other Antillean islands, Aruba will get separate status Jan. 1,1986, as the first step toward complete independence 10 years later.

Under separate status, Aruba will become an autonomous unit of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, giving it equal status with the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles, which will be reduced to five islands.

'The prime minister must arrange for Arubas departure, organize a central government of the five remaining islands Curacao, Bonaire and the Windward Islands of St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba - and hold parliamentary elections.

Croes, the political leader who heads Arubas separatist movement, said in an interview that theres no turning back from independence.

Arubans have sought for vears to described

escape what he described as the political domination of Curacao, which as a bigger island with a larger population has more votes in Parliament and is the seat of the central government.

Rich or poor, Aruba must separate from the rest of the Antilles, he said.

But he maintained that the Exxon closing will be economically disastrous for Aruba and will require economic support from neighboring Venezuela ana the United States, the Netherlands Antilles major trade partner, to avoid a breakdown of democracy and the emergence of a radical leftist regime.

Book Explains Drug Terms For Germans

WUERZBURG, West Germany (AP) Germans who rave about California sunshine arent necessarily referring to warm weather on the U.S. Pacific Coast.

In the drug scene, the phrase denotes a trip with the mind-altering drug LSD.

To help German parents recognize conversational jargon that could be a tip-off of drug use by their children, an employee of the Wuerzburg prosecutors office has written what he calls the countrys most complete lexicon of narcotics terminology.

The 300-page book defines more than 4,400 words and phrases from the drug scene gathered during Gerold Harfsts 20 years of dealing with the problem among German

youths and U.S. Army troops stationed in West Germany.

Because many of the slang words are English, he said, German parents, teachers and other adults who work with young people have a particularly difficult time fathoming drug-related jargon.

Knowledge of drug jargon helps prevent narcotics crimes and offers parents the chance to discuss drug abuse with their children, Harfst said in an interview with The Associated Press about the book he published privately.

Parents should regard the bode as a help in understanding the problem so that they dont have to say when its too late, Tf we only had an inkling,he said.

Resurging Interferon May Prove Weapon For Cancer

By SCIENCE DIGEST A Hearst Magazine

Interferon, once touted as a miracle cure for everything from cancer to the common cold, is making a comeback.

Now that interferon can be produced inexpensively and in almost limitless qualities, according to an article in the January issue of Science Digest, scientists and the pharmaceutical industry have high hopes for its applications.

It may become a powerful weapon in the fight against cancer, and researchers hope it also may be useful in treating shingles, AIDS, multiple sclerosis and genital herpes.

Interferon first made headlines in the late 1970s when it seemed a wonder drug in the making. But at the time it could only be obtained from body cells producing it naturally. That priced treatment at a prohibitive $30,000 per patient.

Worse, interferon so produced was impure and available only in minute quantities, which made it difficult to test. And it could be used only on humans no animal tests were possible.

Today, thanks to gene-splicing techniques, bioengineers have made it possible to mass produce the drug cheaply.

Most recently, scientists have cloned the genes for mouse and rat interferons, paving the way for much-needed animal studies.

Mathilde Krim, head of the Interferon Laboratory at New Yorks Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, said that means scientists will be able to learn in months with animal studies what would take years with human trials.

Many scientists believe interferon has potential for treating cancers of the kidney, skin, colon and two types of leukemia.

Robert Oldham, formerly of the National Cancer

Institute and now director of the Biological llierapy Institute in Tennessee, predicts that bas^ on preliminary trials interferon may eventually rank as one of the top 10 anti-cancer drugs.

There currently are about 70 companies in 14 countries engaged in interferon research. A West German firm recently put one of the three tyi^ of interfere on the market as a treatment for shingles, a herpes virus disease.

Schering-Plough, a New Jersey pharmaceutical fifm, last spring applied to the Food and Drug Administration for a license to sell interferon as a nasal spray in treating the common cold. The company also wants to use interferon against two types of cancer.

Interferon is a chemical that interferes with viral infection by signaling the body to produce antiviral proteins.

It also acts against tumors in a manner not yet identified. There is some evidence the drug directly halts the growth of cancer cells, while other evidence suggests it stimulates cells in the immune system to do the job.

We have only scratched the surface in exploring interferons possibilities, said virologist and oncologist Thomas Merigan of Stanford University.

Not all scientists are convinced of interferons potential.

Charles Moertel, chairman of the department of oncology at the Mayo Clinic, says he is not convinced that interferon will play an important role in the future.

He said it must be shown that evidence of interferons anti-cancer abilities will translate into concrete benefits for cancer patients.

Side effects are one problem, according to Science Digest, and they include fatigue, fever, loss of appetite and nasal congestion. Many anti-cancer drugs currently in use, however, produce much more serious side effects.

was b^inning to pray as well and he overruled the order and told his wii% not to fight.

Uam was torn between vengeful feelings toward the wardens and his desire to embrace the teachings of Christ. He wanted, in the words of his favorite prayer, for God to make me an instrument of your peace.

In 1981, when the IRA launched the hunger strike that would take the lives of 10 inmates, my reaction was that since I was coming toward God I couldnt be involved, and my next serious thought was that I had no right to pass the buck.

On Aug. 2, the day after his hunger-striking cellmate Kevin Lynch died, he stopped eating. After 42 days his eyesight began to fade and he could no longer read the Bible. After 53 days, about to lose consciousness, he heard his mother say she would have him force-fed when he lost consciousness.

He resolved to make the decision himself. On the 55th day he stopped fasting.

I looked back on my life and felt it was a waste. Night after night in the pubs, casual sex. ... We thought of killing a person as killing a thing rather than a person. Killings were talked of as stiffings. Policemen and soldiers were called uniforms.

Today at age 28 he lives in a Catholic hostel in Londonderry and works on a farm. He devotes himself to Soldiers of the Cross, traveling around the country addressing

schocdchildren arid church grouf.

Billy Mcllwaine, 42, runs a Belfast taxi company. He grew up, be says, indoctrinated against Catholics. He remembers how one night in 1974 my wife woke me up saying the Catholics are coming ... and they were really out there, you know, with large lumps of iron. They'd ripped up gratings and bricks. And the women were out with large sheets tied at the corners and filled with petrol bombs.

He joined the UDA the Irish Defense Association. One night Catholic terrorists threw a duffelbag full of explosives into a pub where he was drinking. Another time his best friend blew himself up making a bomb.

Since he has never been convicted, he is reticent about his UDA actions, but talks of bombings and assassinations and a time when he believed that the only way to deal with the Catholics was to exterminate the lot of them men, women, boys and girls, babies, the whole lot, because tomorrow they would do the same tome.

But people have a conscience. Youve got to live with yourself. A lot of my friends turned to booze or drugs. I really hit the bottle.

He became so alcoholic that he was taken to a hospital one night close to death. When he regained consciousness, he said, he had a manifestation. The God he had n^ver believed in suddenly took over his thoughts. He resolved that if he survived, he would devote himself to Christ.

r's Chrisfmos!

Wishing you seasonal joy abloom with love and peace.
