The economic and political structures will break down altogether. Volcanic eruptions will kill billions of people, and on May 5, in the year 2000, the world as we know it will end.

He was 17 on the occa- sion, and received a visit from a man he identifies as "Dr. White." The latter said he represented a mystic association which had evidence of the inevitable end. Kieninger insists Dr. White was not balmy. White instructed Kieninger to organize people who were opposed to the notion of dropping dead in 2000.

Perhaps because he's as simple as his ideas. He speaks in a monotone, avoids color at all cost and is tailored by J.C. Penney. His own people say he has the charisma of a stone step, and could not sell footwear in a tack factory. Yet nearly 800 people have lived in Stelle since it was formed in 1973. Probably because Kieninger preaches e values as well as y survival. "We may have had members who did not think the world is going to end," he says, "but everyone has agreed with the brotherhood's way of life." That way is: charity, community and Christianity. Kieninger says Stelle is far from being Utopia, but it is an alternative to the predominately combative society. "We have expectations. Richard Kieninger, the chosen one, says it all began in whether a vice president is important to voters, what qualities he or she should possess, whether voters would respond favorably to a woman vice president, and who they would pick for the second spot on the GOP ticket. He said the poll will also ask voters what issues they consider important. It is possible, Meese that voters do not said, GOP the clinching presidential nomination, put the same emphasis on told reporters that he geography, ideology and will seek the advice of other topics as do party party leaders, his staff leaders. and others in making his wholly positive attitude here. We aren't against anybody. We try to help each other, and to learn and to grow together." In a phrase, Stelle is a village of cooperative volunteer-ism- . e The plot (60 miles south of Chicago) was purchased with contributed money. Each of the 34 homes has been constructed with neighborly assistance. There are no taxes; residents donate a young Kieninger's leg. OK, it does sound contrived. And Kieninger, now 53, compounds the suspicion by reducing his narrative to the simplicities of a comic book. Life on earth started in a place called "Mu," he says. The new world island in the Pacific is to be called, nicely enough, "The Kingdom of God." But, somehow, Kieninger concluded, and then will set down on an island in the Pacific Ocean where they will build a new and more promising society. No, they aren't crazy. Not certifiably, anyway. Neither do the people of Stelle seem to be religious or generational zealots. They are bright, middle-clas- s capitalists who happen to subscribe to the of a former expostulations cabinet maker who claims he has been touched by great tithes to raise operating tal. presidential candidate. Reagan, saying he was "most optimistic now that I'll be the winner" continued to defer on whether he felt he had the nomination locked up. But he said he felt he could win it before the round of seems second survival village, "Adelphia," in Texas. In addition, he says there are at least 4,000 loyalists now receiving literature and information regarding the termination. Eventually, as global conditions worsen, Richard Kieninger believes that hundreds of thousands of people all over the world will join his extraordinary vigil. And if they qualify for inclusion in the brotherhood they will be booked aboard the big airship that will save believers from the end. The airship leaves May 5, 2000.

"With funding extremely limited we find it impossible to answer all inquiries about our project. We need coverage in newspapers and T.V. news to explain what we are trying to do." The project, he said is designed to get the boys and girls talking about the election and about the issues. Talking about issues and feelings takes away some of the power lessness children feel when it comes to national politics, the teacher said.

They hold annual meetings to decide political and economic directions. They are even allied in entrepreneurial matters; there are four business concerns in the village, and the employees are responsible for policies as well as profits.

They'll announce how the kid vote for president a mock election turned out kids can compare the kid vote in their state with how the adults voted right after the genuine, adult presidential vote result is known. There is this difference between the kids' election and the one for grown-up- s the kids' election will be held Sept. 22 not in November. Also: to keep the kid vote from influencing the outcome of the adult vote, the results of the mock election won't be released until election night. Just after a state's result is announced in the big real national election in November, the kid vote for that state will be released from kid vote headquarters at Maquan Elementary School. Taking part in this mock election isn't complicated, kids. Your teacher prepares ballots, lists names of candidates and you vote for one. That's how you participate. Then the teacher, with help from other students, counts the votes and sends the results to Ronald N. Lewis, Maquan Elementary School.

This is a shoestring operation. With $10 contributed to the cause some weeks ago Lewis and his students wrote to state departments of education superintendents in the 50 states and in U.S. Territories. So far, 261 school districts in 38 states have signed up. Early birds came from Alaska, California.
