MAR 14 B8? "0 Mar. 14, 1983 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 7A Library Seeks Gifts For The First Time Man Restarts Drill To Pull Steel Bit From His Skull i AH1 Wright said from his hospital bed. "I tried to pull it out but it wouldn't come out. So I knew the only way to get it out was by restarting it.

"I looked into the mirror and I restarted the drill and pulled it out of my head," he said. Blood spurted from the wound. "I thought my brains were pouring out with the blood. But I felt no pain." Wright was in the apartment, four floors below his own in downtown Toronto, to install a. sliding door.

Fearing he might -pass out again, he left the apartment, locked the door behind him and took the elevator to his own apartment. He was leaving for the hospital when his wife returned home, called an ambulance, which him to a hospital nearby. TORONTO (UPI) Donald Wright said that restarting a power drill to pull three inches of steel out his skull had nothing to do with courage he just wanted stay alive. Wright, a 54-year-old Toronto contractor, was working on a ladder when he toppled onto a drill bit that was pointing upwards. He passed out but regained consciousness and realized the, drill bit was stuck in his skull.

Instead of phoning for an ambulance, Wright decided he would attempt to remove the bit himself and get out of the locked apartment so that someone could find him in case he passed out again. "When I came to, I felt like I was having seizures. I was feeling icy cold all over and I just couldn't move myself. It was because the drill was holding me down," The library system has an annual budget of about $5 million, unchanged over the last few years because of the worsening revenue picture. It has a small endowment hind that produces only about $1,500 a year for book purchases.

Library directors and officials concede that they have a selling job to do to persuade the community to dig into its collective private pocketbook for a tax-supported institution. "The St. Louis Public Library is a basic resource asset for the entire metropolitan community and beyond, like the Art Museum and Shaw's Garden," head librarian Joan Collett said. The library houses nearly 4 million books, periodicals, films, government publications, phonograph records, art prints and microfiche records in every subject, and is the primary reference and research resource for most of Missouri and Southern Illinois, she said. More than half the library's users come from outside the city and many from outside the state, she said.

"We're the stepchild among the area's cultural institutions," said Mrs. Robert Neill, chairwoman of building committee. "It's partly our fault because we haven't made our capital needs felt all these years." McClellan said the $10 million fund-raising campaign probably would not get into full swing until the fall. "We will need to set up a large network of volunteer workers to go to businesses and community organizations," he said. "One of the first things we have to do, though, is pick a campaign chairman who is dedicated to the library and who has real standing and name recognition in the community.

Does Whitey Herzog like to read?" By Victor Volland Of the Post-Dispatch Staff The tax-supported St. Louis Public Library is mounting an appeal for private donations for the first time in its 117-year history in order to maintain and repair its deteriorating buildings. The National Endowment for the Humanities last week announced a $250,000 challenge grant for the city library system, which must raise $750,000 of its own in the community. The $1 million total will be used to refurbish the 71-year-old main library building at 1301 Olive Street, which has serious structural problems, including leaks that have damaged books in the stacks. The money will be used also to provide better public access to the library's collections and make the building more energy-efficient, library officials said.

The libary system has a long-range goal to raise $10 million to rehabilitate the 13 branch libraries as well as the main library over the next five years, said James S. McClellan, president of the library's board of directors. "We hope the challenge grant will stimulate new sources of giving and enable the library to improve its services to the community," he said. He said the system's buildings had been neglected for years as shrinking available funds have gone to purchase books and pay personnel. The last new building in the library system was the Machacek Branch Library at 6424 Scanlan Avenue, which was constructed in 1974.

The library has been hamstrung by a low tax rate of 25 cents, which is fixed by state statute and which has produced increasingly smaller revenue each year because of loss of population and business from the city. The state contribution of 32 cents per capita dropped considerably after the 1980 census. Sugar From page one scientific standpoint, we don't know exactly why the diet works. We just know that it does." Schoenthaler offered four possible reasons for the bad behavior: sugar, chemical and food additives, a combination of sugar and additives or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The "leading contender" in Schoenthaler's view is the theory that "when people eat too much of any one food group, there's a high likelihood that they're going to get a deficiency in vitamins and minerals." Larry WiliamsPost-Dispatch Schoenthaler said jail diets had become sugar-heavy because nutritionists neglected to look at the sugar content of the food.

Nutritionists instead looked primarily to balance food groups, calories and nutrients, he said. "There's a well-studied link between nutrition and health. There's also a well-studied link between health and behavior. There's a gap on relating nutrition and behavior," Schoenthaler said. 1 James S.

McClellan, president of the St. Louis Public Library Board, and Mrs. Robert Neill, chairman of the board's building committee, planning a campaign for private donations to the library system. It will be the first such appeal in the 117-year history of the St. Louis Libraries.

The funds will be used for rehabilitaion and improvement of library buildings. Review funeral notices Music Kammergild Program Fulfills Expectations SIMMONS, HOWARD F. (FRED). March 12, 1983, beloved husband of Marcella R. Simmons (nee Spindler) dear father of Sandra Reed and Wayne E.

Mon. listening to Seth Carlin. Despite some slips here and there, his playing had. a sinuously clear line that complimented the rest of the ensemble in true early "concerto" style. The use of a forte-piano certainly contributed to this quality, and it was good to see the Webster University instrument making another of its all-too-infrequent appearances.

A Purcell "Chacony," an Elgar "Serenade" and Britten's "Simple Symphony" came after intermission. The melancholy "Chacony" and the romantic "Serenade" were never allowed to drag, and the friendly delights of the Symphony were not lost on the audience, especially the pizzicato movement. Two of the encores short pieces by Purcell were consistent with the quality evident during the rest of the evening, but the third one of the Britten "Variations on a Theme by Frank Bridge" was sloppy. By John Huxhold On paper, it was another of those eagerly anticipated programs that music director Lazar Gosman arranges so deftly for his Kammergild Chamber Orchestra material that is on the light side, with little or no grating modernism and a smattering of things from a number of historical periods. In performance, "An English Evening" at the Art Museum auditorium Sunday night fulfilled the expectations of the 300 people attending.

The Handel Concerto Grosso No. 21 from Opus 6 gave the orchestra of 14 string players and harpsichord ample opportunity to demonstrate that they have a great collection of ears.

His lawyer, Byron Neal Fox, announced Sunday that Civella had died about 4 p.m. Saturday at Menorah Medical Center from "complications associated with lung cancer." Funeral arrangements have not been made because Civella's immediate family is awaiting the arrival of out-of-town family members, Fox said.

He also said services would be limited to family members. But sources close to the family said Sunday that a wake would be held tonight at Sebetto Funeral Home in "the north end," a predominantly Italian neighborhood in Kansas City. Civella tentatively is scheduled to be buried tomorrow, according to those same sources. Guiseppe Nicoli Civella was returned to Kansas City on March 1 from the federal prison in Springfield, Mo. He had been released so he could "die with dignity." He had been hospitalized since his release, listed as critical the entire time.

Fox said Civella had been considered a "specialized patient," and his treatment had involved "being stabHzed." Civella was not able to talk since he arrived at the hospital, sources said. According to one friend of the family, "he never knew he was out, never really gained reality." Family and friends said that Civella, while. in the hospital, had not appeared to recognize faces or voices and for the most part had been disoriented. Attorneys had worked since September to gain Civella an early prison release so he could obtain private medical attention. And in mid-February, one attorney told a federal judge that Civella had only two weeks DUENWALD See Gutweiler ENDERS See Nitchman FAIN, ELI E.
