Newapoper Commissioners eye fleet replacement·for sheriff· . . By BRIAN J. REED Sentlnel Newa Staff The Meigs County sherift's fleet of cruisers may he replaced early neKt year. Sheriff James M. Soulsby met with the Meigs. County Commissioners to discuss the replacement at the board's regular meeting on Monday. Last morith, Soulsby provided the commissioners with preliminary information about a possible lease arrangement, which would make possible the complete one· time replacement of the department's 10 cruisers. Athens County has undertaken such an arrangement, which allows for an outright purchase of vehicles once the lease period is completed. The department currently purchases used vehicles from the State Highway Patrol. Soulsby said last month that most of these vehicles have in eKcess of 80,000 miles at the time they are purchased: placing a heavy maintenance burden on his departmental budget. While Soulsby said last month and again yesterday that he felt unqualificd to judge the safety of the cars, the collective bargaining unit represent· ing the deputies in the departmelll havesaid.inalettertothesheriff,that they feel the vehicles pose a safety hazard. Deputy Scott Trussell, who was also in atte~dance at Monday's meet-!:1~J5't«!. !~I ~l,.~p~tie~ _who fi~. ~)Ytf !ll.~rgency snuauons, traveling at high speeds, feel that the vehicles are less than safe. The commissioners 'agreed that a complete replacement of the vehicles would be more prudent than replac· ing one or two cars per year. Commissioner Janet Howard said that she had investigated the purchase of vehicles through the state purchasing program, and felt that buying cruisers from that program, rather than through a commercial lease · arrangement, would be more finaricially prudent. . No costs have been determined for leasing cruisers, but Howard estimated that the cars would cost approximately $18,000 from the state purchasing program. Prosecuting Attorney John Lentes noted that a four-wheel drive vehicle would also be helpful to law enforce- . 'l'ent agencies, and Souls by said that the sale of four all-terrain vehicles, forfeited in drug cases, could be sold to finalll'e the purchase of a fourwheel drive vehicle. The commissioners agreed that no action could be taken on the purchase until after the 1998 budget is approved early next year. : Denver Curtis, district service officer frir the . Disabled American Veterans, and Hap Ingels, district commander, met with the board to discuss the lack of handicapped accessibility at the county's Veterans Service Office on Mulbeiry Avenue. ~ oaid that he had met with a .former service officer for t~c local l board in 1986 about the aceessibility problem and had been told that clients in wheelchairs and with other disabilities who w.ere unable to enter the building were served from the sidewalk, rain or shine. Curtis said that he has been approached by a number of veterans about the issue, which he deems unacceptable. The commissioners rent the building which houses the office, but said that they would investigate the passibility of modifying one of the building's entrances so that it would be handicapped .accessible. Howard said that it may be more financially feasible to relocate the office to a building which is already in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The commissioners also met with Rhonda Dailey, director of nursing at Veterans Memorial Hospital, and Paula Eichinger, home care coordinator for Holzer Home Health Services of Veterans Memorial Hospital, to proclaim the month of November as National Home Care Month. The board also: • Approved the appropriation of $40,084 in new grant money for the county's victims of crime program, to cover salary. fringe benefits and equipment; · • Approved . transfers of funds within the following departments: auditor, county court, sheriff and juJ*l.~ coul'\; ~ . _ • ~ (Continued on Pa~. 3)', ' CASnNG VOTES - Polls acrose Meigs County opened at 6:30a.m. today to allow vot. era to elect vUiage and towns!llp officials, and school board membera.

REED Sentinel Newa Staff Pomeroy's new police chief, Jeffrey Miller, was introduced to Pomeroy 'Village Council when it met in 'regular scission on Monday evening. Mayor Frank Vaughan introduced the new chief to several of the members who had never met Miller. Miller. who was appointed by the body last month, replaces former Chief Gerald Rought. Rought 11:iired in August. Miller advised council members that the department would begin patrolling the downtown business district once again. effective with the department's most recent schedule. Clerk Kathy Hysell presented a bill submitted by FireI Chief Danny Zirkle for repairs to the water pump on the department's Pumper No. I. The estimate for the repair is $6,450, submitted by Oils Ford. Hysell said that the repairs could be paid from the fire fund. Hysell also advised council that repairs to the department's Pumper No. 2 waterous pump may not be necessary. Zirkle met with council several weeks ago to discuss those repairs, which were estimated to cost approximately $30,00!. Hysell said that the pump has been examined and may not require extensive repairs. Zirkle will be invited to the meeting on Nov. 17 to discuss the repairs. Council approved the sale, as scrap. of a pickup truck formerly used by the street department, and approved the purchase of two tires for the department's dump truck, at a cost of $350. Vaughan said that he had been investigating the possibility of purchasing a new dump truck through the state purchasing program, but said that none are available at this time. A new truck is estimated'to cost approximately $60,000. , Council member Geri Walton noted that doors to village hall were nol being locked,at night, and the village was eKperiencinJ! problems with excessive trafllc in the building after hours. Walton also expressed con· cerns for security ·on the second floor, which houses the offices of the Meigs County Educational Service Center and the Mejgs Local Board of Education. It was agreed that the doors would be locked in the evenings .. and that the only access to the building would be through the door nearest the police department, which can be monitored elcctronically. .

In last year's presidential election, turnout was 67.4 percent.

The amendment lets judges deny bail in cases where there is a strong p~esumption that the suspect committed the offense and that he or she is a threat to the public. The second issue is the first refer· endum on the state ballot since 1939. Issue 2 asks voters to approve or reject the workers' compensation reform law. A "yes" vote approves the reforms that backers say will cut abuses of the system and speed up claims processing. A "no" vote Councilman Bill Young said that paving rel'airs arc needed at the site of a water leak on Condor Street and ditching is needed on Pleasant Ridge and Willis Hill.

ARBOR. Mich. {AP) Lloyd Carr took a lot of criticism during his first two years as Michigan's coach. He just figured it came with the territory. He nevet responded to it. So it should come as no surprise that Can has reft'ained from pounding his chest now that the No. 4 Wolverines (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) have a shc!t at a conference championship, a Rose Bowl berth and, yes, maybe even a national title. Still, that doesn't mean the arrows and barbs didn't hurt. Fans can be cruel, and Michigan has a lot of fans. "I understand that I have an impossible job," Carr said Monday. "'There will always be critics, no mat· tcr what. So, as a com:h, I want to get everybody playing together set ness· ly and to be the best we can be. If I' m successful doing that. then I'm happy." . . Carr has compiled a 25-8 record since taking over after Gary Moeller resigned, following a drinking incident at a suburban , Detroit restaurant. At most colleges, a record like that would be cause for wild celebration. Michigan is not like most colleges. The Wolverines have lost four games each of the last three seasons. including Moeller's final year. That -caused a great deal of.serious grumbling among the Maize ~nd Blue crowd. The folks got a httle spot led by Bo Schembechler who won or tied 13 Big Ten championships during his 21 -year tenure. · They conveniently overlook the fact that Schembechler lost four gamesthreeumesandonce, m 1984, finished 6-6. Still, that doesn't make Carr feel any beuer. There was no such thing as talk radio when Bo coached. "Now, the intensity of the criticism can tear you apan," Carr said. " It's hard not to take some of it per· sonally. If you remember that, you have a chance to understand. Nobody's immune to criticism. Still, with adversity sometimes you find out who you are." The Wolverines are one of six major unbeaten teams left in the country. But they face perhaps their biggest challenge this week when they travel to Penn State to take on the No. 2 Nittany Lions {7-0, 4-0). And even if Michigan should win, games at Wisconsin and the annual grudge match with arch-rival Ohio State still loom ahead. "As far as I'm concem'ed, we're 0·0," Carr said. " It's been fun. But, as we said when we started the sea· son, this is n tough mountain. Espc· cillly in November. Nobody celebrates when they get to the 'top of Mount Everest They're fighting, trying to stay alive up there." . Which is about the way Carr feels today. He 'has silenced his critics, for now. But he lmows they are out there. And they will howl like a blizzard up the nonh face of a mountain if the Wolverines lose this week at Happy Valley. "I try not to spend a lot of time thinking about it," Carr said. "I don't read a lot of newspaper.. I tell the players that whether they're saying good things or bad things about them, it's still detrimental." This is the first late-season game between an undefeated Michigan team and ah unbeaten opponent since Nov. 22, 1975, when No. 4 Michigan (8·0..2) lost to No. I Ohio State (I().. 0) 21 · 14. The last time the Wolverines were in a game involving two unbeaten, untied teams this late in the season was Nov. 24, 1973, when No. 4 Michigan and No. I Ohio State tied 10..10. "This is one of the fun cxperi· ences a college football player can have," Carr said. "It's a thrill they'll always remember." -Sports briefs- also at least panty out of fear of jinx· ing hill)self. Having earned the rook· ie.honor, Garciapana now confronts the jinx that got to Bob Hamelin, Ron Kittle and Joe Charboneau. "Something like this doesn't let you ease up," Garciaparrasaid. ''I'tn not going to pay attention (to statistics) regardless. l was always worried about 'Did we ·win today?' And that's still my focus." General manager Dan Duquette is not concerned that Garciaparra might be a one-year wonder. "The Red Sox are real proud of the year Nomar had for us. It was a terrific year, a storybook year, and we're glad to have his presence on our team," Duquette said . .. He's got a great future ahead of him, and we're glad to have a player of this caliber committed to the city of Bosto.n."

BALTIMORE (AP)"- Baltimore Orioles manager Davey Johnson might be willing to make concessions that would allow him to serve the final season of his three-year con· tract, The Washington Post reported today. Johnson's future is up in the air after he came under fire from Orioles owner Peter Angelos for fining second baseman Roberto Alomar $10,500 and instructing the player to donate the money to ·a charity that retains Johnson's wife as a fund-rais· er. Angelos has said Johnson had no right to designate the direction of the fine without first checking with the owner. · Team officials, cited by the Post, said Johnson might be willing to say he made a mistake. " He's willing to make an admis· sian," the Post quoted an unidentified team official as saying. "He's willing to say maybe he made an e"ior in judgment. Who knows if that ~ould be enough for Peter.... {but) 11 s sull salvageable." · The Post quoted Johnson as saying on Friday that he had a wrillen statement ready, but has not released it because he hasn 't heard from Angelos. That was a day after the two talked for 90 minutes on the phone. The {Baltimore) Sun reponed that Johnson left his Winter Park. Fla. home Sunday night for a fishing vacation and it was unclear when he would next speak with Angelos. The Sun quoted club sources as saying Angelos is preparing a docu· ment for Johnson to sign as a condt· tion of returning next season. The document would include a de facto apology by Johnson for his handling of the fine. The Sun reported. JohnSon has led the Orioles to the playoffs in each of his two seasons at the helm. This·season. he guided Bal· timore to its first AL East title since 1983. Alomar was fined $10,000 for missing an exhibition game in July between the Orioles and their TripleA farm team. Alomar did not inform Johnson of his plans to skip the game; the second baseman had hoped to join his family in Puerto Rico following the deat!;t of his grandmotlter. Alomar was also fined $500 for missing a team banquet in April. He went to the Major League Baseball Players Association to protest the fine, which has not been paid. Johnson insists he won't quit the job. His agent has threatened to sue the Orioles if Angelos fires him without his $750,000 salary for the final year on the contract. told ABC in an interview shown Monday niaht .., on "PrimeTime Live."

While acknowledging Nichols wasn't in Oklahoma City the day lite bomb ripped apart the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, prosecutors said he planned it that way and was just as guilty 3S' convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh. More testimony ;-vas scheduled for today. Opening statements and the pros· ccution 's first four witnesses on Monday provided a glimpse qf what's to come in a trial likely to last the rest of the year. The defense unveiled one of its key arguments - the bombing was McVeigh's plan, his along with unnamed co-conspirators, and Nichols was simply sucked into the anti-government fervor of his former Army buddy. "Terry Nichols was buildihg a lif~ not a 'bomb," said his lead ' declared "Nichols wasn'tthere." He was at home in Herington, Kan .. with his pregnant wife when the bomb went off April 19, 1995, killing 168 people in the deadliest domestic bombing in U,S. history. Nichols, 42, could be sentenced to die if convicted of murder, conspiracy and weapons-related counts. McVeigh was convicted of identical charges in June and given the death penalty. · With Nichols' mother, Joyce Nichols Wilt, looking on from the front row, the government opened its case by replaying some evidence from McVeigh's trial. The most dramatic piece was a tape of the blast, a ey concentrated on trying to link Nichols to the blast, no matter where he was at the time. John Hurley, a security guard at the Regency Towers apanments in Oklahoma City, identified videotapes from building security cameras that purportedly captured Nichols' truck pa&sing out front three days before the explosion. · deafening "boom," followed by shouts and sounds of a building falling. Nichols sat with his jaw taut, his glance bouncing between the prosecutor and jurors, who sat in rapt attention. Recorded during a water ·board . meeting across the street, the tape also was played early in McVeigh's trial. Nichols' jurors didn't react, but bombing survivors and victims' relatives in the courtroom wept. One covered her ears. Instead of having survivors describe the horror of the bombingas prosecutors did to open McVeigh's trial -lead prosecutor Larry Mack- Prosecutors contend Nichols was there to help McVeigh stash his get· away car, a 1977 Mercury Marquis. Tigar said tl)ere was nothing sinister about it: Nichols was in town to pick up McVeigh, whose car had broken down.

(AP) Au pair's life sentence appealed CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -Attorneys for a British au pair convicted of murder in the shaking death of an infant asked the trial judge today to overtum the jury's verdict, or at least reduce it to manslaughter. Louise Woodward, now 19, was ~entenced to life in prison Friday, a day after a MiddleseK County jury declared her guilty of second-degree murder in the death of 8-month·old Matthew Eappen. Woodward should be declared innocent, be granted a new trial or be sentenced again on the ICJser charge, according to a memorandum filed by defense lawyers. The prosecution was expected to submit its arguments against the motion. • Among the arguments made by· defense attorneys was that the evidence presented in court failed to establish that the injury occurred on Feb. 4, the day prosecutors say Woodward shook and slammed the child in a fit of rage. The jury's decision p{Ompted surprise among some legal observers and public outrage, especially in Woodward's native England. Some jurors have said they would have considered a lesser •arge - if they had been given the choice. . At defense attorneys' request, the jury could consider only acquittal or first- or second-degree murder charges - not manslaughter. The earliest Woodward could be paroled now is after IS years in prison; 1 manslaughter sentence, up to 20 years, would make her eligible for rclell!! much sooner. • "There's no way we could face the Eappens or the citizcr s of the commonwealth and say, 'We think she did it, but we're going to :,, her go,'" juror Stephen Caldwell told ABC News on Sunday. "We were in a no-win situation there," Caldwell said. "Nobody wanted to find 1 19-year·old woman l'rbm another country who'• come to America under these circumstances guilty of murder and put her away for life .." Another juror, Jodie Garber, agreed, telling The Mail of London: "We'd rather have had a chance to consider a manslaughter option, Nobody liked the findin~ we felt compelled to rca& Nobody was happy having to do this." steps this winter, you can out and make your home 'more energy efficient. 1.

Gannett Suburban Newspa· para For millions of people in the United States, the next five months won't mean fun on the ski slopes and co~y winter nights. The shorter days can prove a nightmare worse than icy roads and subzero wind chill factors. AS p.m., sunset seems downright unnatural, and research indicates that's exactly what it might be. Long nights and gloomy days can cause what's called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), full-blown depression triggered by a change in brain chemistry caused by too little exposure to sunlight. Each fall an estimated 10.8 million people slide into this slow and profound emotional hibernation. Many don't even realize what's happening. They can gain 10 or 20 pounds, suffer insomnia and even contemplate suicide. "SAD is more than ablue mond. It's a major clinical depression that only occurs in the winter and should be clinically supervised," says Dr. Michael Terman, a leading expert on winter depression. He heads clinical studies with SAD research volunteers at the New York Psychiatric Institute at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in Manhattan. "The diagnosis requires a complete psychiatric evaluation and a patterning of symptoms," says Terman, a physiological psychiatrist who has studied the affects of light on behavior for 14 years. · Meanwhile, another 25 million people have milder degrees of winter doldrums, often becoming lethargic and fatigued. But once spring arrives, the black cloud lifts and all symptoms spontaneously disappear ... until the following fall. "Lots of, people think it's a normal swing with the seasons. They don't realize it's a problem they can rectify," says Tennan. "The first thing I advise is to build in a 45minute walk outdoors every day (preferably in the morning). espe· cially for people with moderate symploms~·· Studies indicate that winter moods are greatly determined by a person's location. Northerners have gloomier weather and dispositions. It's estimated that 25 percent of the people living in the upper half of the United States experience some degree of "winter blues." More serious SAD strikes about one in 10 Northeasterners, while less than two in I00 Floridians encounter major seasonal depression. Special full -spectrum florescent lights usually arc prescribed for people with SAD or severe winter doldrums. These "light boxes" cost about $350 and can be placed on a table or desk top. Daily exposure near the UV-filtered lillht, which has the same qual· ity as ~unlight, lielps restore the balance ofbrain chemicals. Depending on the person, the time of a session can vary from IS minutes to an hour, once or twice a day. The winter blahs usually start lifting in a f~w days. But the lights must be used until spring or there's usually a relapse. The newest form of light therapy, a <:omputerized dawn-dusk simula· tor, can be programmed to recreate a sunrise from any place on Earth, any day of the year. The device costs $700 to $800. Termat\ envisions a future in which bedroom lighting will be as common as air conditioning. "To keep body rhythms stabilized requires regular exposure to early morning sunlight. This approach involves lower level light a! the final hours of sleep," he says. "You punch in the number of hours of sleep you want and when you want to get up. The computer programs the sunrise. We ' re excited by the clinical rcsporlse." A third form of therapy, a negative ionizer, dilesn't involve light. The device "cleanses and recharges" the air much like a spring thunderstorm. "We don't have any knowledge of why ions work physiologically," Terman says. "But it looks promising. Some people respond to ions more than light. So the problem may not be light alone.'~ A negative ionizer costs about $125 and is used for 30 minutes a day for two weeks. No single form of treatment is a guaranteed cure for everyone with SAD or winter doldrums. But the vast majority of people get some relief. · Joe Lorber, a 54-year-old J~wyer from Wesley Hills, N.Y., combines li&ht ll)erap): with ~.xercise and diet. He works out tn his basement gym early every morning ·under five ceiling panels of bright, full-spectrum florescent light. He also eats rftllural foods and takes daily vitamin and mineral supplements that a nutritionist recommended. ' _ "I have winter doldrums plus. But when I'm doing everything. I have lremendous energy, 11 he says. "If I stay on the regimen, I feel as good as in the summer. But it's work." Terman says winter blues can begin as early as August and as late as January. For many, the symptoms surface when the nation reverts to Standort Time. , "What we're doing is inducing a jet-lag state." He says.

The research team tested the drug in mice and found it not o·nly kills potentially migratory cancer cells in the animals' bellies. where it was infused, but also in their backs. Dennis Slamon of the University of California, Los Angelc,, suid Steeg has "exploited a new approach" to finding drugs that work against stubborn tumors. "Tra· ditionaltherapies are not very eiTrctive,'' he said. The drug is not as toxic to cancer cells as other forms of chemotherapy. so it would have to be taken for months or years. Nevertheless, Steeg said, it shows promise against lethal offshoots of primary breast cancer. perhaps with fewer side effects than drugs used now.

And after he joined this church, his spirit grew as his body failed." That unconditional love has had consequences. The congregation, the oldest Mennonite Church in the country, learned two weeks ago that delegates voted 178-40 to expel it from the regional conference beginning next year. The congregation will no longer be able to vote on the critical issues of faith and practice that affect the 50 congregations in southeastern Pennsylvania. The pastor. Richard Lichty, will be stripped of his credentials. While he will remain pastor f01 three years, he will not be recognized by the con- ference. "It hlll1S," said the 57-year-old Lichty. "This is my church of binh, my church of choice. But the church for a long time has been a follower of the general culture's fear of sexuality and this just plays into it." The Mennonite Church's policy, passed in 1987, allows congregations to accept only celibate homo· sexuals, said Jim Lapp. conference pastor for the regional conference. "The Gennantown church has received people into membership who are living in covenanted relationships, aad that became a point of disagreement with the membership of our conference," Lapp said Sunday. Congregants, gay and straight, consider the policy hypocritical. "Sure, we could ·have one of those situations where the homosexuals could come but never tell •nd we would never ask or be open about it," said George Hatzfcld, a member who is a heterosexual. . "Sure. we could just assume that they 're celibate. But the problem is we·d never make those requirements of heterosexual couples." The Germantown church has served as a nfuge for homosexuals for a decade. Joe Miller, who grew up 1 Mennonite, joined because he heard the congregation accepted homosexuals and he wanted to return to the religious environment he left as a teenager. "I learned a long time ago growing up as a Mennonite that I could either be a Mennonite or I could either be gay, but !hat I dainn well couldn't be both," Miller said. "But this church accepted me for who I was and !hat's why I came here." The acceptance is growing and with it the debate, spreading to conferences in Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota and Iowa. "All of this is the result of a long process and dialogue," Lapp said. "It's the mooa of our society, the way in which the issue is headlined. It's in the public consciousness. Many more people are becoming aware of it because homosexuals are more active and outspoken about Richard Lichty, pastor qf the Garmantown MennonJ.ta Church, atand8 outside tha church, In Phllaclaltheir rights." phla.

The doctor has brought her a familiar present. ''Boo' Boo! " she says, clutching · the present, a book so new the pages stick together. When someone opens the back cover, she turns it upside down even at her age, she knows front from back. The children 's clinic at the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans is one of dozens using a growing national prescription of sorts. The clinic hands out new books at each baby checkup, from when the infant is six months old to 5 years. Parents are also told about the imponance of reading. The Reach Out and Read program started at the Boston Medical Center eight years . ago is going nationwide: The American Academy of Pediatncs is including it as part of its "Prescription for Reading " program. That means the academy 's 53,000 members in North America and Central America will be urged to use the reading program, which was named a model for child ·development last spring by the White House. ''I'm just tickled there's a focus on something as vital to success as reading for children," says Stephen Hales, a New Orleans pediatrician. "Very few things are as strong a prediction of success in education and life as a foundation in,reading." Dr. Barry Zuckennan, who devcl· oped Reach Out and Read, and academy president Raben Hannemann were expected to explain ~he pro~ram today at the academy s meet· mg here. . The program tncludes. poos for doctors to wnte out prescnpuons for reading. Publishers . have dona~ed 250,000 books and Vtsa rs provtdtng 7 million "reading checkup" booklets. The 20-page booklets ask parents whether their children "respond happily to reading by waving hands or batting the pages? Point to something in a picture and say its name?" The booklets also have "Not to worry!" sections . It's okay, parents are reassured, if a baby teethes on books or even if a child shows little interest in reading. "Put the book down and try again later," they're advised. Hales says he and his partners spend hundreds of dollars each year on good . books for their waiting r~m, which doesn't h~ve a telev~' sto~.

Some can't read. · "We tell them they can help enjoy the book in other ways," codirector Ellen Beyer says. "They can enjoy the pictures and go through the book from beginning to end, telling a story even if it's not the story on the page." Doctors enjoy handing out the books, too. Carl Garabedian, a Tulane Medical Center student and third-year resident at the clinic, says: " If I forget, they say, 'Give book! Give book!' It's better than a sucker as an incentive to see the doctor." · Community Calendar--TUESDAY ALI'IUID - POMEROY - · Internet users Onmae .'f0W11ohip meatic•g Board of Trustees regular meeting Tuesday, 7:30 ·p.m. at the home of Clerk Osie Follrod.

Jennifer Sheets, president of the Ohio Board of Education, was speakef at a recent meeting of Ewings Chapter, Sons of the Am~n­ can Revolution, held at the Me•gs County Library. . Sheets talked about the compost· tion of the board, but she emphasiztd that the board had no actual power in setting state education policy. In the discussion on school fundint. the fact that state law forbids allowing real estalC' taxes to nse wilh inflation. This forces school disuicts to return every few years to the voter to get an increase in tax monies. Sheets indicated that the legisla- ture has factions which will not work together to resolve the funding problem. She feared that the legislature will fail to meet the March deadline set by the courts to resolve this issue. If it is not resolved, the Perry County judge will have the power to establish the remedy to the problem. Other concerns discussed were the inability for schools to overcome students' problems at home, state restrictions on the disciplining of students, different rates of student learning in large' classrooms, and the moving of some subjects to grade levels that are too early. Mrs. Sheets felt that the presence of someone from here on the board is imponant if the board is to understand the unique problems of !he area. Rhett Milhoan, Eagle Scout chainnan, reponed having contacted all the eligible Eagle Scouts in the area to participate in the annual scholarship competition. Myron Jones, graves chairman, reponed that the grave stone for Mr. Safford, a revolutionary soldier in Pine Street Cemetery, has arrived. This will be set soon. James Lochary, president, announced that the chapter dues have raised due to the increase in dues to the NatiDnal Society. Dues are now payable in the amount of $37.
