MONTGOMERY The Alabama Legislature came close Tuesday to granting education interests their wishes on state money matters, but the lawmakers adjourned before taking any decisive votes.

The House decided to quit work after the House leadership lost several attempts to turn back a proposal giving educators 16 percent raises Star Senior Editor Tuesday was a 'glorious 9 day up the education budget first As recommended by the governor, the education budget would total $1,460 billion. Sen. J. Richmond Pearson of Birmingham, chairman of the Senate Finance and Taxation Committee, got the Senate to consider a substitute budget, totaling $1,452 billion, rather than the amendment-heavy budget approved by his committee last week. But then, the Senate quickly loaded the substitute budget with amendments.

One amendment, sought by education interests4 and proposed by Sen. Donald Holmes of Oxford, would require the state rather than local school systems to fund the 14 percent pay raise for lunchroom workers. Holmes' amendment would cost $845,000. The House endorsed two resolutions by Northeast Alabama legislators. The lower chamber approved a resolution by Rep.

A.J. Blake of Pell City to commend Jim Kacker and Bill Hamilton, loth employees of the Alabama Power for their Jan. 11 rescue of two Pell City area youths from an ice-encrusted pond. The Blake resolution salutes the "outstanding courage" of Kacker and Hamilton for rescuing Rodney and Brian Cushlng of the Pell City area. Rodney, had fallen through the ice of the pond.

His brother, 12, jumped in to attempt a rescue. Kacker and Hamilton were traveling to Atlanta on 1-20 when they saw the brothers struggling. They exited and swam out to save the Cushings.

When it rains, the wind blows. The wind always blows into my carport. What's the purpose? Take garbage to dump. Trouble with that is I do a fine job of taking all of ray garbage bags to the outside storage room. It is across the patio from the kitcnei door.

Patio is not covered. If I take the garbage off when it is raining, I'll do one of two things; track water and trart through the kitchen on the way to the car or mess up floormat in car from walking through rain and mud around the house. Trim the shrubbery. I've told you about that before. I have convinced jny wife you can trim shrubbery ONLY in February.

Even in Febrary, however, you cannot trim shrubbery when it is raining like it did Tuesday. Besides that, a buddy of mine came by the other day and picked up his electric shrubbery shears the1 ones I borrowed last February. I have given you just a few of the highlights. The official list of what I need to do today is posted on the bathroom mirror and mostly I get upset a lot when I'm shaving. But not on a rainy Tuesday.

No sir. I managed an afternoon nap without one pang of conscience. I was awake and cheerful when the author of the list on the bathroom mirror came home from work. She did not ask "Did you get any windows cleaned today?" or "Dig you get those garbage bags on those thin gama jigs on thex roof?" or "Did you go to the dump'?" All she said was "This has been a dark and dreary and rainy day, hasn't it?" I said "Yeah, it sure has. I wish it would quit so I could get some things done around here." I slept like a baby Tuesday night and dreamed in peaceful slumber of a rainy Wednesday.

I have decided I like dark and dreary and rainy days. Fact is, I have reached the conclusion that dark and dreary and rainy days are my favorites. Tuesday was one of 'the better ones. It was a day you could put off until tomorrow all the things your wife said needed doing today which is an awful good reason to. like dark and dreary and rainy days.

There are ALWAYS things I need to do today according to my wife. Such is my nature; and is pointed out to me quite regularly. You might call it a continuing source of irritation in our relationship. She gets irritated when I put things off until "tomorrow," I get irritated when she mentions such. It doesn't help any, either, when I point out (to her) that in this one thing at least we have reached that glorious goal of all relationships 50-50.

But when I get a "glorious" day like Tuesday, well, the relationship improves to 100 percent my way (which is REALLY what ALL of us seek in ANY relationship." Tuesday there was no way I could: Wash the windows outside. And if you can't wash the windows outside, there is absolutely no point in washing windows inside. Cleaning off one layer of dirt just so you can see the other layer of dirt is stupid. Pick up the trash in the yard. Actually, the trash in the yard was washed there by the last big rain we had.

Even if it isn't raining, it will one of these days and that means the trash will return. Get the trash bags on those roof' turbines that spin and take the heat out of your attic which, is what they're supposed to do in the summertime. We have had an awful bad winter and the weather just hasn't allowed me on top of the house. Besides that, my neighbor came by the other day and picked up HIS ladder. It's his fault my heating bill last month was 1134-plus.

Clean the gutters. See above for the Instead of the 14 percent proposed by Gov. Fob James and the House leadership. The Senate, meanwhile, wrestled with James' $1.46 billion education budget for fiscal 1983, first cutting it by some $10 million and then rapidly piling on new spending plans. The Senate adjourned, before passing the budget.

And legislative fiscal officers, trying to decipher the amendments, said they bad no idea now big the budget might be. The 16 percent pay raise proposal and the amendment-fat education budget will be back before the two nouses Thursday. The pay raise bill backed by the House leadership would provide 14 percent cost-of-living raises for teachers and support personnel in elementary and secondary but it wouldn't fund the raises for school lunchroom workers. The bill would also require Junior colleges and trade schools to use their budget increases to give instructors raises. The budget includes a 6 percent increase for trade schools and 4.8 percent for junior colleges, with most instructors to get raises of about that size.

Rep. Jimmy Holley of Clba, a floor leader for the Alabama Education As-ssociation, proposed 16 percent raises for teachers at every school level from kindergarten through the two-year institutions. The House leadership made several attempts to table or postpone Holley's amendment, but after losing ONE LARGE GROUP SKIRTS! WOOL BLENDS a A A OUR iC PP REG. ONE RACK LADIES' SWEATERS!

"Nobody was injured; everybody it safe," said Jack Warner of the Secret Service. "The only harm was to the limousine." The llmo sustained what was called variously a V-shaped gash or a tear in the vinyl that covered Its roof. The calmest man during all this was Bush, who went about doing what vice presidents do. He made no news for the rest of the day. "We heard a loud bang and drove on to work and that was it," Bush said.

"There really wasn't heightened tension even." The vaunted FBI crime law conducted exhaustive tests. The Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police Depart for getting the money were illegal and others were impractical. McCorquodale, who leaves his podium only on rare occasions when the representatives buck the House leadership on important votes, said, "We're appropriating $14 million with no way to pay it." But the House rejected his advice 49-45. The House took up the teacher pay raise bill, prior to the state school budget. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Walter Owens of Centreville said State Supreme Court Chief Justice C.C.
