WEEKEND EDITION If Muncie, Ind. Saturday, July 19, 1986 THE MUNCIE mm Heat relief coming Monday; storms possible Sunday By The Associated Press temperature has been 90 degrees or The intense beat and humidity above." that has blanketed Indiana and the The heat wave, which already Midwest this week may lift in the claimed the lives of two Indiana northern part of the state Sunday, teen-agers Wednesday, also takes it "Where the Spirit of the Lord IT toil on automobiles and dogs. but heat-index figures will continue hovering around 105 elsewhere, the National Weather Service said. Temperatures around 95 were forecast for all of the Indiana today and the southern and central portions Sunday, but the northern part of the state should see the thermometer drop to 90 and feel less humidity Sunday. There also was a chance of thunderstorms, beginning in the north tonight and spreading across the state Sunday, the weather service said.

Relief should come early next week, as highs Monday through Wednesday were predicted to be between 80 and 85 in the north and 85 to 90 in southern Indiana. David L. Sherrieb, meteorologist for the weather service in Indianapolis, said the average temperature recorded in the capital this month has been 77.0 degrees. That compares with 79.7 in July 1983, which was the hottest July since 1944. The norm for July is 75.1.

"It's not unusual for the average to be that high," Sherrieb said of this month's temperatures. "We've had five days this month where the rt "We're probably experiencing a 15 to 20 percent increase in runs," said Jerry N. Griffith an assistant manager in the automotive services department of AAA Hoosier Motor Club. "Usually the engines are overheated." Extremely hot automobiles usually mean high use of air conditioning, he said, and that often leads to engine strain and failure. Griffith advised drivers to check radiator hoses and belts to avoid breakdowns.

He also said motorists should turn off their air conditioners in slow traffic, because the engine cannot cool itself as quickly then. Nancy S. Cronin of the Humane Society of Indianapolis said dog owners should avoid taking their pets on car trips. "People don't seem to realize how quickly the car can get hot, although they might think they're being nice to them by taking them along," she said. Dogs should be let inside homes with air conditioning or provided plenty of shade if left outside and Continued on page 3 because the weathermen didnt have their new computer programmed for it, Curran said.

"The difference this year is the computer program that automatically puts it on the forecast," said Curran. "Before, we didn't give it that much play." But it's getting plenty of play now because of the current heat wave. The weather service is putting it in each forecast when the index hits 105 or the mercury is expected to reach 95. The weathermen say that if the air temperature is 95 degrees and the relative humidity is 55 percent, then the effect of these conditions on the body would be the same as 107 degrees with a normal, lower, humidity. At 1 p.m.

82, No. 94 1986 The Muncie Evening Press GOP nominee for state rep quits campaign By GREG GOLDSMITH Evening Press reporter Gary Rice, the Republican nominee for state representative from one of Muncie's two House districts, has announced that he is withdraw ing from the campaign. The Democratic nominee in District 34 is four-term Rep. Hurley Goodall. A one-paragraph news release from his campaign man ager, Lyla Rice Spath, quoted Rice as saying: "With the number of projects I'm involved with at this time, I do not think that I could effectively serve the voters of this district." The news release was dated Thursday, postmarked Friday and received at The Evening Press today.

The timing of Rice's resignation leaves the Republican Central Committee with less than two weeks to fill the ballot vacancy if it chooses to do so. Deadline is Aug. 1. In three of Goodall's four campaigns, he was not opposed by a Republican candidate. The district is heavily Democratic, and the theory of not opposing Goodall is to let him win without forcing him into a campaign that would pull more Democratic voters to the polls to vote for htm and Democrats in county-wide races.

The only time he was opposed in the general election was in 1984. He won by a 2-1 margin. Neither Republican County Chairman Jacque Bowen nor Vice Chairman George Eastman could be reached today to see if they planned to call a caucus to fill the ballot vacancy or even if they knew about it. Rice's phone has been disconnected, and Spath does not have a listed phone number. Rice is a former planner for both Continued on page 3 Coming up at the county fair TODAY 4 p.m.

He said only one man without wedding INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The heat index was a little-known weather term a year ago but now, with Indiana suffering an enduring heat wave and the addition of a new computer program, it's become a daily fixture in forecasts. The idea is to make people aware that the combination of heat and humidity is sometimes dangerous and can lead to sunstroke or heat cramps. "It's just another way of trying to make weather more understandable," John Curran, head of the Indianapolis office of the National Weather Service, said Friday.

The index measures the contribution that heat makes with high humidity in reducing the body's ability to cool itself. It's at the opposite end of the scale from winter's wind chill factor. The weather service used the heat index last summer, but it wasn't a household word then Cocaine LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) Bolivian narcotics police ferried by U.S. helicopter pilots carried out a second day of raids today on cocaine processing centers in the northeastern tropical flatlands, officials said.

Kennedy's daughter Caroline is the bride, walking down the aisle in a wedding the family is keeping low-profile. A Roman Catholic ceremony was scheduled for 3 p.m. at the Church of Our Lady of Victory for the young woman whose father was the nation's only Catholic president.

The church is about five miles from the Kennedy compound where the reception for 400 guests was being staged under a white tent big enough to accommodate a small circus. Kennedy, 28, will marry New York businessman and artist Edwin Schlossberg, 41, who spent three hours with her and other members of the wedding party Friday sailing in Nantucket Sound aboard the chartered 56-foot ketch "Spray." When they returned to the dock of the private Hyannis Port Pier Yacht Club, they were met by about 50 tourists, photographers and reporters.

And it's a very lovely birthday present for my mother, who will be 96 years young next Tuesday." Kennedy chatted after Friday's wedding rehearsal, which the Rev.
