The final session for "Tough Times" will be led by Herb Stoneman, pastor of First Baptist. Herb, in addition to his pastoral experience, has had many years of industrial and retail management manage-ment training. He has owned several small businesses as well. His time with seminar attendees will be spent reviewing opportunities for job development. People in the group will learn how to perform a "job skills inventory", in-ventory", review common services which may not be described in the normal nor-mal inventory of work, investigate the possiblity of "skill pooling" to create work opportunities, as well as legal obligations involved in any entrepreneur en-trepreneur activity. Stoneman said, "The goal of the seminars is to draw together those who most need encouragement to gain a fresh perspective on their situation. Sometimes when we get down we isolate and assume that we are the only on-ly one faced with a problem. Our hope is that many members of the community com-munity who are without work will attend at-tend and give opportunity for encouragement en-couragement through workable answers."

They have a special need for chelated iron and other vital nutrients. Thus feeding them with an ordinary plant food can leave them looking weak and sickly. A special plant food has been developed de-veloped by university scientists for the special needs of evergreens. Unlike other plant foods which just feed, this one, ironizes and acidifies.
