2A The Paris News, July 30, 1988 From The Front Budget Protesters Continued from Page One Last year, the county decreased its shortfall to $206,000, but it was able to transfer part of the unused funds from indigent health care back into the budget, which is not an option this year. "So without changing our budget figures from last year at all, this is what has made the difference because (shortfalls) have a rolling effect that don't end in just one year We did well to reduce it in half last year, and we thought maybe we could work our way out of it this year. But we just had some unexpected expenses," Mrs. Wilson said. Freedom Continued from Page One seriously undermined," he said.

It was to open in April distributors withdrew it, asking assurances no one would be prosecuted for showing the film. The government made no promises.

Stoffel Botha, home affairs minister, ordered the board this week to review its decision. The censors held a hearing Thursday and announced Friday morning the movie could be shown with an age restriction of 19. Continued from Page One realize it made a mistake and just let us go," said Lowell Patterson, a spokesman for the protesters who is not jailed. "We have served more time even than we would have if we had been found guilty" of criminal trespass. On Thursday, a man calling himself Baby John Doe 105 and a woman calling herself Baby Jane Doe 111 clutched Bibles as they stood silently in Municipal Court.

A man calling himself Baby John Doe 132 was dressed as a priest. The protesters, who are being held at the Atlanta Corrections Center, say they have taken the names in solidarity with aborted fetuses. Judge Howard Johnson, however, referred to the prisoners as "White Male 42," or "White Female 47," as he methodically sent their cases to state court. Thirty-two of those arrested last week have given their names and been released on $500 recognizance bonds, said Tom Pocock, deputy director of the corrections center. He said six others were identified through other means.

The demonstrators have been brought into court in groups of seven or eight for their brief appearances before being returned to jail. The'remaining 23 demonstrators were to appear today. "We have 75 percent of our people committed to stay (in jail) until their court hearing, assuming it is within the next month or so," said Patterson. Reagan Continued from Page One are fully answered, we will assume that some of our countrymen are alive." The United States lists 1,758 Americans as unaccounted for in Vietnam, 547 in Laos, 83 in Cambodia and 6 in China. Reagan said the government in Hanoi "has once again raised our hopes for a breakthrough" by agreeing to a joint U.S.-Vietnamese search for some of those missing in Vietnam.

"We have witnessed promises made in the past by Vietnam that were not carried out, but we are following up this offer aggressively," he said. "We look forward to its fulfillment." The president also took note of Vietnam's recent announcement of plans to withdraw its forces from Cambodia. "If they are serious, then it is time to move rapidly to resolve the POW-MIA issue; for the deep pain that this issue brings to the American people will turn against Hanoi if it lingers past a Cambodian settlement," he said.

Steve Wozniak Truman 3 has old-time feel A long covered front porch and circular windows give a nostalgic old-time feel to this spacious and comfortable Truman 3. The kitchen is country, and then some. Counters cover at least part of all four walls, with a free-standing vegetable sink in the On the other side of the range counter is a breakfast nook looking out on the front porch. A half-bath and walk-in pantry complete the suite.

The formal dining room behind the kitchyen is not huge, but a raised ceiling with chandelier gives an impression of great space, augmented by double doors to an outside patio. The adjacent living room is larger, with a fireplace separating it from the dining room. Three bedrooms occupy the top part of a split level at the far end of the house from the kitchen. The master suite includes a double vanity, bathroom, and raised oversize tub. The walk-in closet, usually placed off the sleeping room, here connects to the tubvanity.

This allows bathing, grooming and dressing all in one area. A family room with firerplace and soda bar is directly master suite. While this presents the risk; of noise, it also allows the master suite to for its own private fireplace. A guest bedroom and utility area fill out the downstairs. Either could double as an office or den.

Some owners might want the utility closer to the work areas of the kitchen and garage. However, with four bedrooms worth of linenn and laundry, we decided it would be better to place it near the sleeping quarters.

(AP) All eyes in town arc turned on country singer Crystal Gayle, who returned home this week for the first time in nearly a decade. Miss Gayle, 37, known for the hit "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue," will be grand marshal of the annual Canal Days Parade on Saturday before playing two benefit concerts. Miss Gayle. who lives in Nashville, arrived midweek to visit family and friends. "I'm planning on visiting some of the old hangouts and maybe reliving my childhood a little," she said.

Miss Gayle, youngest of eight children including singer Loretta Lynn, released the first of several hit albums in 1874. including "Talking in Your Sleep." Herb Campbell, director of utilities for the City of Paris, told members of the Noon Kiwanis Club Tuesday that the city acquired its first water system in June, 1898, and that Lake Gibbons, another of the city's early-day water sources, was built in 1904. The 31-person utilities department, Campbell said, is responsible for the treatment of all potable water, wastewater treatment, environmental services, and in making sure the city is in compliance with regulations established by the State Department of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Water Commission. The department has a budget of SI.8 million, with about $650,000 of that amount goirjg, each year for the payment of electric bills. "Paris is blessed with a very fine water system," Campbell said, as he explained that Campbell Soup Co.

buys about one-half of the water delivered by the city each day. Other major customers, he said, are the Lamar County Water Supply system, Kimbely-Clark, Merico, Philips Lighting, McCuistion Regional Medical Center, Babcock and Wilcox, St. Joseph's Hospital, Sesame Products and the Paris Housing Authority. Campbell also showed pictures of the construction of Lake Crook and a book listing names of water customers in Paris at the turn of the century. Lake Crook, Campbell said, was built in 1922 and a 20-inch cast iron pipeline was installed from the lake to the city.

That line continues to serve the customers in Paris, Campbell said, as does Lake Crook. Water samples from the city's wastewater treatment plant were also displayed, samples that showed virtually clear water that leaves the treatment facilities.

Spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said Jackson had asked that government protection be continued, based on the defeated presidential candidate's "assessment of threats against his life" and Jackson's plans to campaign for Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis. In Chicago, Eric Easter, a spokesman for Jackson, said he had no immediate comment on Reagan's decision. Jackson has been resting in Chicago the past few days. Losing candidates for presidential nominations generally have to relinquish their Secret Service detail as soon as the party stan- dardbearer is chosen.

So Jackson technically had exhausted his right to such protection on July 22 the day after the end of the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta. However, Fitzwater said that Jackson "asked for an extension of Secret Service protection, presumably through the election. He indicated that on the basis of threats against his life." Asked if Jackson had furnished any details of death threats, the spokesman replied, "No." Asked whether the White House had tried to verify threats against Jackson's life, he said he could not comment on such security matters. The Free State of Israel, was proclaimed in Tel Aviv on May 13, 1948. The United States was the first government to recognize the new nation.
