More expensive decorator die cast metal, solid brass and redwood kits are available through lighting outlets.

Appearing Friday at a charity g dinner in Macon, fund-raisin- Ga., he didn't seem optimistic about a diplomatic solution. "I hope w e can bring about some resolution." he said. "I think the odds are against it, but I hope so in spite of it all." Powell, too, has told associates he opposes an invasion. "We are making the trip to solve the crisis without the loss of a single Haitian or American life," he said Friday night in Ashland. Ohio, where he at Ashland spoke at a University. Regardless of their personal beliefs, the senior official said. "They are all very clearly prepared to conduct these discussions within the context of the administration's policy." Accompanying Carter, Nunn and Powell will be Lawrence Ros-sithe National Security Council's point man on Haiti, and Maj. Gen. Jared Bates, the chief assistant to Lt. Gen. John Sheehan, director of operations for the Pentagon's joint staff. William Swing, U.S. ambassador to Haiti, said on CNN Friday night the discussions would be only on the "modalities of the departure" of Haiti's military lead fund-rais- ge jack-o-lanter- Cut Your Utility Bills er n, riously to help the country in its hour of need," Sahnoun writes in a SOMALIA: spot adjustable floodlights.

Both men, seasoned veterans of crisis conciliation, believe the big powers must organize international teams of diplomats and other specialists to, as Oakley put it, "put out small fires before they get out of control." To look back on Somalia, where the last 80 American diplomats and Marine guards pulled out Thursday, is to see three years of lost opportunity and misjudgment. In 1991, as civil war conspired with drought, Somalia's people began to starve. The United Nations, the Organization of African Unity, Somalia's former colonial rulers Italy and Britain, and its Cold War sponsor, the United States, all stood by.

Madeleine Albright, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Clinton "wants to leave no stone unturned." The questions for Haiti's leaders, she said on CNN, are "How do you want to get out, where do you want to go, and how can we help you get out?" Planning for the mission was under way even as exiled President Aristide joined Clinton at the White House with representatives of two dozen nations that have pledged to help end three years of brutal military rule in Haiti. Reaching beyond the Haitian military chiefs to their followers, Aristide said: "Stop the violence. Do not be afraid. We say, and we will be saying again and again, no to vengeance, no to retaliation. Let us embrace peace. When? Now. Is it too late? No. The time is now." There has been concern about d the likelihood of violence by Aristide's supporters. Clinton applauded Aristide's pledge of reconciliation. "The hand which you have reached out even in this hour to those who have taken democracy away is critical to your success," Clinton told the Jean-Bertra- re- leased. The second tragedy, a 3,000-acr- e fire across Maple Mountain, occurred 18 days after Dix died. An investigation into the origin of the fire has all but confirmed the fire started on Trojan property and was likely human-cause- d.

"There's a tendency to let these crises go until they get very; very bad." Somalia got very, very bad. By November 1992, dying filled TV screens and front pages around the world. At least 350.000 had died in the famine and So-ma- lis violence. Five hundred Pakistani peacekeeping troops were finally dispatched to Mogadishu in September, but by then local faction chief Mohamed Farrah Aidid felt strong enough to hem them in, useless, at the airport. International demands for action grew louder. On Dec. 9, President Bush sent Marine units ashore at Mogadishu. Monday, includes $290 million for special projects in the districts of members of Congress. Asked if special project money riding upon the crime bill, for such things as recreation centers, wasn't highly criticized as being spending and not too dissimilar from Provo's project, Orton replied, "I didn't call it spending, I called it social spending." And Mayor Stewart privately told The Daily Herald that he had supported Clinton's crime bill. Orton said Provo's project can be characterized as pork, but he defended it as being a worthwhile public project that will have dividends worth more than the cost because it will create jobs and ecopork-barr- el pork-barr- el nomic stimulation. In his letter to Stokes, Orton wrote about a decline of Provo's downtown. "Since the late 1960s and early 1970s, the downtown area of Provo has suffered substantially from the economic dislocation of the central business district." He said it would provide an anchor, "bringing people into the deteriorated part of the city. These people would be customers for small shops, thereby rejuvenating a blighted downtown." "This isn't exactly a Lawrence Welk Museum," said Joel Law- - County and its current safety record. The leader of one special interest group has demanded the company shut down until it can adequately respond to a fire. Said Robins, "I'm not going to respond to you about Mr. (David) Nemelka's doing. Trojan feels it has a responsibility to provide information to the community and assure it we are a good neighbor. "Our efforts are going into being as responsible of a company as we can be. The message is, Trojan is a good neighbor," he said. News of the fatal explosion and wildfire spread fast through the explosives industry and Robins said son, Orton's press secretary. He said it is a leveraged project that will end up bringing in more money than it is costing taxpayers. Stewart said that part of the federal funds came from Utah taxpayers anyway. The mayor said possession of the $1 million depends on his city securing the remaining $13.8 million required for the project. But he said he is confident the necessary funds will be raised. Provo plans to use a significant portion of its community development block grant funds and is applying for a $5 million HUD 108 loan, with hopes to use county and city taxes and state contributions. It is hoped that part of the tax money will come from motel and restaurant taxes. mid-Januar- anti-Aid- id "tr.i mid-199- 3.

Back at New York headquarters, an outraged U.N. Security Council ordered Aidid tracked down. In Mogadishu, a $25,000 reward was posted for his capture. And the Somalia intervention reached a turning point. (Dp Patty Heralb 77. Provo. Utah V jM General Information 9 Facsimile 373-505- NEWSTAND ornament HoSday is BARBIE the 2nd in the Series.
