"Oshkosh is a prototype and there will be a lot of new theaters going up that will look like this," Petrick said. "This is the first of its kind in the Fox River Valley." in Valley Going to a movie in the Fox Valley became an entirely new experience last month when Marcus Theatres' elegant Cinema 10 opened in Oshkosh. "This is one of the finest theaters in the Midwest," Marcus Theatres Oshkosh manager, Carlo Petrick, said. "It compares to the most modern theaters anywhere in the country." The Cinema 10, located at 340 Koeller Road, features, according to Petrick, "an exciting new Art Deco look that brings back the glamour and tradition of movie palaces from the golden age of cinema." Inside the beautiful "pink palace" is a thoroughly modern theater complex.

As she changed her ensemble, she told the women the apron was used as a carry-all, for removing hot dishes from the oven, to help keep the dress clean and for whatever else the farm wife could think of. Afternoon call To dress up for an afternoon call, a woman wore special clothing, Ms. Towns said. She displayed the long stockings, garters and drawers or pantaloons that were worn.

Required undergarments also included a chemise, which absorbed moisture, and a corselet, which was cinched up for a small-waisted look. A lacy, sheer, high-necked blouse with long sleeves and a long back-gored skirt with belt came next. The hair was worn up, under a large-brimmed hat secured with long hat pins. The Victorian lady wore crocheted or kid gloves, a drawstring handbag and often carried a fan. Calling cards were in vogue and used when calling upon an acquaintance.

Gloves and hat were left on, and the visit lasted exactly 30 minutes. If no one was at home, the card was left in the knowledge that the visit would be returned. Officers elected In addition to the program, officers were elected. They are Amber Samuel, president; Dorothy Maxwell, first vice president; Lorraine Weiner, second vice president; Odessa Harrmann, secretary; Dorothy Gadbaw, treasurer; Eunice Zabel, sunshine chairman; Jacquie Nonweiler, historian; and Ruth Luedtke and Ethel Poeschl, board members.

"Colorful bands of neon surround the Deco canopy over the concession area. Beneath, popcorn is popped in full view of theater guests, ensuring that it is always fresh and tasty. Several new menu items also have been added, including LaCroix Mineral Waters and Hagen Daas gourmet ice cream."

Kevin Degner, who organized the Oshkosh Violet Society in 1980, told members about the society and the growing of violets in the home. He said his interest in African violets was sparked by his grandmother. He now has more than 150 plants of his own and displays them at various shows. Degner said the history of the African violet begins with Baron von St.

Paul of Germany, who discovered the plant growing in the East African territory of Tanzania. He sent specimens to his father in Germany, who successfully grew the plants. From that beginning, it gradually became the most popular flowering houseplant in the world. features comfortable seating with ample leg room and large screens. The largest of the new theaters seats 380 people, with the smallest seating 150.

Seating is arranged so "every seat is the best seat in the house," Petrick said. Seats also have been moved in some of the existing theaters to provide for better viewing and more leg room. The curtains on the screen and some accessories also have been upgraded in the existing theaters and strip lighting has been added down the aisles to make it easier for customers to find a seat once the movie has begun. All new auditoriums also have convenient cupholders built into each seat. Existing Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Veterans of Foreign Wars three-vear trustee.

After deducting for inflation, therefore, you would have a real yield of 3.6 percent. But, the federal government would tax you as if the entire 6.8 percent was a gain. Twenty-eight percent of 6.8 is about 1.8 percent.

That 1.8 percent or so must be deducted from your 3.6 percent, bringing you to 1.8 percent, a figure that could be lowered still when you work in your real personal inflation rate, including local and state tax increases. That's still better than no return at all, or losing money, which would happen if you simply kept the money in a mattress. But it illustrates the tough time the country's money regulators have in getting the economy moving. Low interest rates, it is conventionally stated, are an antidote to recession, sort of like giving a faint-hearted patient a whiff of oxygen or enriching the fuel mixture in an engine. But the engine of recovery isn't a simple mechanism any more.

Unlike several decades ago, when lower interest rates could get things moving quickly, today's economy burns a more complex fuel. In today's economy, says economist John Williams of American Business Econometrics, Ridgewood, N.J., so many people depend on interest income that lower rates may hurt rather than help the economy. By his calculations, 15 percent of total income is now made up of interest income, compared with just 6 percent in bought a one-year certificate of deposit to yield 6.8 percent interest, the chances are exceedingly high that you would end with very little return, and conceivably even lose money. This would be so because inflation would lower your true yield. Rising state and local taxes, not counted in inflation measurements, would be minuses too.

Such things must be deducted to obtain the true yield. In the first quarter of this year, for example, the annual the 1960s. But that's only one of the problems that makes recovery, 1991 style, a more difficult trick than before. Taxes, for example, are high and probably rising, and that's a formula for slowing down rather than speeding up activity. There are other factors, too, such as the existence of a global economy.

Sluggish overseas economies are hindering the ability of American companies to work their way out of rcces- Recover, PAGE F2 JOHN CUNNIFF inflation rate was 6.4 percent.
