Show tores 2A TIm Summit County Boo Friday, Novombor 18, 1994 : Pams Place wu her two boys. My thoughts at first woe how bad it is that the death about the events coming forth from the town of Union, SC, the past few weeks. The situation was one which was bound to capture the attention of anyone with even a small amount of compassion in their bodies. Two lost little boys, supposedly taken from a loving mother. Several immediately in such cases, where there is no doubt about the guilt of the person. But, as I thought things over, what worse punishment could there be than to have to live each day with the knowledge of what you had done? Each day of her continuing life, she will have to see the faces of two darling little ones, who trusted their mother with all their hearts. To me, that alone would be unbearable. More important than the mother is the concern for the people in Mrs. Smiths life that loved her and continue to be a support to her. This was shown in the face of the young father who broke down at the funeral services. What a horrible thing to have to face, when you knew you had given your whole support to the very person who had taken the lives of your two sons. October was "Abuse Awareness month and, because of that fact, I received a lot of information dealing with this subject in the mail. If the statement facts dont lie is true, then there are a lot of horrible circumstances. Guess we better learn to be our brothers keeper and offer help where needed, (secretly, if necessary). Let's be more aware of the children living around us, and help them if we can. Happy is the house that shelters a friend. Ralph Waldo Emerson things taking place in the world today. So many of our little ones are being hurt, often by the very people they trust the most. Steven Bailey I, like many others, saddened and angered conversations with others showed me that some agreed with me that the situation was more than a little suspicious, even to a simple person like myself, with little training. However, it was easier to believe the stray than to believe even for a moment what might possibly have happened. Having followed the story through the viewing of television and listening to the radio, it sickens me to realize that this is only one case among many others which are occurring daily. Since this story came to light, I have heard so many opinions expressed concerning the situation. The people living in the town of Union have expressed thoughts that range from horrible anger, in which they would simply like to string ha up" to those who stand by her and say she was a compassionate, friendly, loving who woman, showed nothing but love towards Tell Me About Recycled Thoughts Ah. ..Those Were The Days Leon Columnist Office Recycling Saves Money After reorganizing my new office money. Hoe are some money saving and environmentally conscious tips to get paper reduction and recycling started in your office: 1. Begin separating your resources. Start recycling one item. PCRA can help you through our Save a Tree program. We can do a waste audit to find out what your office or business is generating. 2. Purchase recycled content paper. If youre not buying recycled, or youre not recycling. 3. Reuse paper out of the white paper bin as scrap paper. If it has a blank side, use it as photocopy paper. This is great for information, such as memos. This saves money on purchasing paper and copying costs. 4. When photocopying, use both sides. This will also save money when you purchase paper. 5. If you need a fax for your office, consider a fax modem. Modems are less expensive than any fax machine, and you do not need an extra phone line. The added benefit is that you do not generate any waste! The fax is sent directly from the computer to the receiver. When I receive a fax, I can access the fax through my computer and print it out, if necessary. 6. If you do have a fax machine, eliminate the cover sheet. Use a Post-I- t note transmittal memo. 7. Instead of printing labels on the computer, use the envelope tray. Labels are not accepted in our white office paper bin, so use them sparingly. 8. Plan each communication. Define your purpose and audience. Before you begin a document, consider its lifecycle from creation through disposal. 9. Be brief. Get organized, then get to the point If necessary, use an editor. Keep letters and memos to one page. 10. Redesign letterhead to con- post-consum-er office-use-on- ly Letters PA'RIvCIT,Y dense headers (printed top material) and allow for narrower margins. Use the old inventory first. 1 1. Redesign and rewrite forms to reduce paperwork and form length. Eliminate unessential duplicates. Many companies are looking at using electronic forms, which save even more paper because no of inventories forms Simister, by by Mery Morrison, PCRA at the Reid Building from Main Street, I was again reminded of a few simple things businesses can do to become more "green. Not only will you appear environmentally correct, but green" offices can be synonymous with saving It are maintained. 12. Examine publication formats and frequency. For example, send a newsletter, rather than a four page, foldout version (cutting content accordingly). Consider publishing less two-side- d, often. 13. Use shredded waste paper to replace purchased packing material 14. To eliminate duplicate labels and long distribution lists for mass mailings, use the mail merge in word processing. 15. Post a list of paper-savin- g copy ideas at every copier. 16. Support and promote paper reduction in your company. Build awareness with contests and signs. Publicize implemented ideas and related savings of money or calculate how many trees you could save. 17. Remove outdated or unessential listings (internal and outside the company) from your mailing lists. Better yet, do not distribute some information at all; just let people know its available. 18. Remove your name (and your company's name) from mailReturn ing lists. Write Refused to Sender on unwanted junk mail. (This applies to first class mailings only.) 19. Use a centralized Post-I- t bulletin board to post one copy of an announcement as opposed to sending individual copies. When individual contact is required, route a single copy. Sometimes it's more effective to call a special meeting an to make important announcement. 20. Each time you reach for a piece of paper, think! You can make a difference.

I not only discovered a bunch of new wends not found in the dicwhile cleaning up a mess of water in our basement, but I also tionary had the opportunity to see again some old accounts from the days when we had the grocery store in Coalville some thirty years ago. What bargains we had! Frozen fruit pies at 4$l; toilet paper was 10 cents a roll (the non-sk- id type); fryer chickens at 29 cents a lb.; milk was 26 cents a quart, and lettuce, 10 cents per head. You could buy three pounds of hamburger for a buck, and turkeys (the feathered kind) were on sale for 39 cents a lb. These discoveries caused me to delve into some even older sources and I found info about great stuff thirty years previous to that, like a midsize automobile could be purchased for about one thousand smackers and you could iron your recently purchased eleven dollar, 100 percent wool suit, with a brand new $2.electriiron. Then, of course, you could fill your new cars gas tank with 18 cents per gallon gas and drive down to the local greasy spoon for a 10 cent hamburger, 5 cent A&W root beer, and finish up with a 10 cent movie while you blew another nickel on a sack eye-openi- of popcorn. And remember the old radio shows? For you youngsters that was the noise coming out of the cabinet with no picture. Great radio programs like Fibber McGee and Molly, George Bums and Grade Allen (amazingly, George is still around), The Lone Ranger," Jack Armstrong The which you Boy. And the secret decoder rings and 's ordered by sending in the Wheaties and other cereal along with a dime or quarter. I guess the most astounding, traumatic radio show that ever aired was Halloween night, 1938, when Orson Welles scared most of the nations population half out of their minds and, according to many reports, a few of them completely out of their minds when suicides were attributed to the stark realism of his Invasion From Man radio broadcast. the mature" citizens is how were poMany of you who are my age remember the 10 cent Big Little Books" that we read litely referred to by the hours. The collection that I, and my five older brothers and sisters shared, filled a sizeable box. But we had to bum all of them when we "fumigated" for the scarlet fever epidemic that raged through town in the Im told that collectors today would have paid mucho dinero for them. So much, in fact, that Id have to go on oxygen just to repeat the amount they would be worth if I still had them. Ah, well, if we hadnt burned them due to scarlet fever, we would have done it when I got measles, chicken pox, or whooping cough, because I had every disease that hit town. At one time, I recall, half the homes in Coalville had quarantine signs nailed beside their front doors which served to notify visitors about the current itch, cough, shake, or whatever affliction happened to be plaguing the occupants at that time. But the most nostalgic moments come from recalling and humming the old favorite tunes (especially WWII vintage). Tunes like Im Looking Over a Four-LeClover," Star Dust, The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B, Mairzy Doats, Jersey Bounce, the incomparable In The Mood," along all unforgettable tunes acwith Moonglow, and "To Each His Own companied by the big bands, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, the great Harry James, Gene Krupa, and several more great ones. It seems there were more things to enjoy then, and less things to worry about; less money to buy things with, and more time to enjoy the plain, simple everyday things that we rush past today without even pausing to enter into the old memory bank. penalty ' isnt There are lots of people who cannot express their feelings because it is felt they are to blame for their implemented N.C.

Even women are not exempt from this form of abusing the children. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but .words will never hurt me. Wrong! How often we, as parents, find ourselves coming unglued at times because of worldly pressures, and usually the nearest people around us are dm children. Mrs. Smith said that she was overwhelmed by lonesomeness, confusion, and betrayal of several in her life. I cant help but wonder how many people there might be living around us who are feeling a little overwhelmed by obstacles in their lives. Is there something we could possibly do to lighten their load a little? Maybe take a mothers small children for a few hours to let her have a break? How about listening in order for the person to be able to express their thoughts? In come. an rfE yo-yo- box-top- s, mid-thirti- es. af Thought For The Day memory.
