"I missed a couple of months because we fell behind, you know, around Christmas and everything," he said. Jere, became involved in Amway when he and six other men founded the American Way Association in Cuyahoga Falls in 1959 to find a new cleaning product for marketing.

Unable to acquire a satisfactory product, two of the men Services for Eileen F. Dutt, 57, of Cuyahoga Falls, one of the pioneers of the Amway Distributors Association in the United States, were held Thursday in Naples, where she died Sunday after a short illness.

"We're just having a hard time making ends meet," said Mrs. Wood, mother of three children, aged 3 to 12.

Mrs. Wood said they owe $218 and must pay $73 by Wednesday "to keep the gas on." Nancy Caponi said she and her husband, Claude, who is laid off from a roofing job, applied for help with a $153 December bill. "I'll get bills of $200 to $300 before winter's over," she said. "It's unbelievable." Charles Harrison, who shares an apartment with his wife, La- some kind of payment earlier so they don't get to that point." It usually takes two to four months before area utility companies will disconnect service, spokesmen said. They said efforts are made, both by mail and in person, to contact the customer to work out ways to arrange payments before service is disconnected.

If a person makes an effort to keep up at least partial payments, disconnection is a last resort, they said. Both Ohio Edison and Ohio Power spokesmen said electricity will not be disconnected if the temperature is below about 25 degrees or the person has a doctor-authorized medical problem and loss of heat could prove harmful to their health. PEOPLE with disconnection notices for electricity or gas have been streaming into energy assistance offices. They were showing up at the rate of 100 a day the last several weeks for help with delinquent heating and electric bills at the Akron HEAP office, run by Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority at 250 Edgewood Ave. "I think January was full of disconnect notices," said Eula Powers, manager of the Akron area HEAP office.

"You may have to wait for a long period of time, but we will take care of you," Mrs. Powers told the waiting customers. Some people had to wait up to eight hours until their applications were processed because of the lines. month to Feb. 28.

The deadline for emergency funds is March 31. Emergency aid cannot be held for her until she can afford to have service restored, program officials said. Ms. McAmis said she did not apply for help with her bills last winter because she was going through "other problems and trying to straighten out my life" after a divorce. She said she will contact legal advisers for help with her gas problem, but she held out little hope for success.

"ONCE a person has been shut off, they usually have to pay the entire amount owing," said Mike Walsh, spokesman for East Ohio Gas Co.

In her ruling. Judge Aldrich said the secrecy oath violated an Ohio court rule prohibiting such oaths. She did not rule on the constitutional issue of freedom of speech raised by the Beacon Journal, saying it was unnecessary because the issue could be disposed of under the court rule. Unger was unavailable for comment. THE Beacon Journal originally filed suit in the Ohio Supreme Court last April to prohibit Unger from requiring witnesses to take the secrecy oath.

The Supreme Court dismissed the suit without comment and the Beacon Journal then filed suit in July in U. S. District Court. Beacon Journal lawyers had cited a 1970 ruling by U. S.

District Judge Don Young that "the secrecy of grand jury proceedings may not be imposed upon 'witnesses who appear before a grand jury; they may be interviewed after their appearance and repeat what they said before the grand jury or otherwise relate their knowledge on the subject of inquiry." Unger had given grand jury foremen a written form for swearing in witnesses that included the statement, "You will not reveal to anyone the substance of your testimony, so help you God." Unger had contended that secrecy oaths would protect innocent people who are accused in secret grand jury testimony. Celeste puts Statehouse bid in gear Continued from page CI next month to run for governor. Celeste launched his campaign at the home of McCrone, his wife, Bernadette, and two daughters. "This is not a typical setting for an announcement for governor," Celeste said. "But these are not normal times with 650,000 people unemployed in Ohio." Recalling the inventions and industrial might of Ohio in earlier years, Celeste said, "America did not build Ohio.

Ohio built Ameri- "The problems of Ohio today are not the result of autoworkers or steelworkers not willing to work hard. The problems of Ohio are not that the people do not care. The problems of Ohio are rooted in the fact that the world has changed, that Ohio workers compete in a global market. "Global competition and changing technology dictate that the jobs in the Ohio of the 1980s and 1990s will be different than those that have sustained us the past 40 years." He said he would not tell people in the unemployment line that "I have the answer to turn Ohio around in three months. Because if I were in that line, I'd say, 'It's a lot of bunk, Mr.

RECOVERY cannot "be achieved overnight, nor by spouting political slogans," he said. "We must realize we cannot continue to conduct business and I politics as usual." Celeste won Ohio House elections in 1970 and 1972. He was elected lieutenant governor in 1974 when Rhodes defeated incumbent John J. Gilligan in the governor's race. After Celeste lost to Rhodes in 1978, he was appointed Peace Corps director by then-President Jimmy Carter, serving until Carter left office a year ago.
