(Continued from Page 1) ing 1987, the museum will do something very special for Mississippi and for our children," he said. It will be a surprise, he said, and declined to make any further comments. John Bland, general manager of the Jackson Symphony, said, "Personally, what I'd like for the new year 1S good health and good cheer." For the symphony, he wishes that there would be 500 new subscribers for Christmas and that in the new year, the symphony will be able to give Jackson the best concerts it can. Alan Woodard, artistic director of Ballet Mississippi, said, "Our wish for Ballet Mississippi is a year in which more people come to appreciate what a fine ballet company we have quartered right here in Jackson." Mayor Dale Danks also wishes the best for Jackson. He has a long list of wishes, beginning with, healthy and happy city where no one IS unemployed, without food and shelter.

All the streets resurfaced. No problems. New water and sewer lines. No crime of any type and economic development atmosphere that is second to none. A city in which everyone is proud to be a part." Tops (Continued from Page 1) raised $247 for the cause, and was top fund raiser, followed by Matt Massev.

Matt thought it was fun too, but said he "pretty much had to practice his spelling." Matt is the son of Dr. and Mrs. W. Boyd Massey, and raised $222 for Easter Seals. Headmaster at Jackson Academy, Glenn Cain, said "This is another example of what our children and patrons will do for a worthy cause." For the past four years the elementary students have chosen just one project to support instead of several.

"This is so we won't have any on a project," Dean of Elementary Catherine Wallace said. "It really keeps our children's enthusiasm WE'RE VERY proud of our children and their parents and friends for supporting our school and the Easter Seal Society," Cain said. This is not the first time the JA students have set records. Last year the elementary raised well over $14,000 for St. Jude's Children's Hospital by participating in a Math- ROAD WORK SEEMS to be in popular demand from area politicians.

Ridgeland Mayor Hite Wolcott wishes for "Santa Claus to bring Ridgeland a new red firetruck and a new fire station to put it in. Also, a pothole vanishing machine with an automatic road widener attached." It's too bad Santa's sleigh doesn't look more like a steamroller. Wolcott's New Year's resolution is "to have so many good things happen in Ridgeland during 1987, that all of the citizens will smile constantly and be happy. City Clerk Marcella Cannon agrees. "I wish that Santa Claus will visit every household in Ridgeland and leave behind what is needed to bring happiness to each person," she said.

My New Year's resolution is that 1987 will be a year when more and better services are provided without a tax increase. Also, I resolve to try to solve any problem which a citizen of Ridgeland might have, no matter how large or small, or refer it to the mayor who I hope has the same resolution. RIDGELAND City Attorney Milton Case wishes to give Mayor Danks a special gift for Christmas. My Christmas wish is that Santa a-thon. The school won a computer and several trophies for being tops" in math.

They also set a record in 1985 for the Heart Association when they raised $10,625 by jumping rope. They had sponsors for this event and set a state and regional record. Other endeavors include their patriotic project to support the Statue of Liberty restoration. They raised more than $500 with contributions. THIRD GRADERS surpassed the other grades at Jackson Academy by raising $2,987.33 of the grand total.

Claus will bring Mayor Danks a box of Madison County soil and he will be happy having some of Madison County in the city of Jackson." Case said. "Also, that Danks and the city council will quit worrying Mayor Wolcott and the Ridgeland Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins said she has not thought of a New Year's resolution yet, but wishes that for Christmas, there will be and goodwill within our community and within our country. Chris Lee, otherwise known as Santa Claus at Northpark Mall, has a wish that probably only the real Santa Claus could grant. "I want my baby to be born." he said. He does not even care if it is born on Christmas Day.

In fact, would rather it be born sooner than Christmas." Finally, Carol Burger, Community Services Director of the United Way of the Capital Area, wished for "overall cooperation of those who care about each other. I hope to help others who need that support and to coordinate the groups that can do Personally, she said, I am hoping for a pair of diamond earrings." Hint. hint. Mr. Burger Remember, there is still one shopping day left.

Easter Seal Society provides direct services that include camping, speech and hearing therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, transportation, vocational services, screening services and equipment necessary for rehabilitation. These services are rendered to individuals who are disabled due to cerebral palsy, spina bifida, diabetes, polio, cancer, heart and circulatory disorders, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, accidents and other disabilities. The Mississippi Easter Seal Society assisted more than 14.000 disabled children and adults last year. Coalition urges use of safety belts The Mississippi Seat Belt Coalition is asking everyone to be sure and wear safety belts while traveling out of town, around or down the street during the holidays. "Many people believe that their belts do not work because they allow you to move around freely," said Diane Taylor, executive director of Mississippi Seat Belt Coalition.

We've had governors, senators, bankers, lawyers, you name it, eating here," he said. "People told me they ate their first meal after they got engaged here, their first meal after they were married, and so on." In cities like New York, restauranteurs strive to create the exact look that comes naturally to the Mayflower. One New York restaurant called Gulf Coast, claims to be an authentic Southern cafe, complete with vinyl booths, linoleum floors and Southern state college banners hanging on the walls. But only the decor and the free refills of ice tea are truly Southern. The $15.95 fried catfish is not.

Why change anything about the Mayflower then? "We had gotten a little out of style," Kountouris said, gazing at the walls already stripped of the fish and panelling, in preparation for the new wallpaper. After 50 years, he said, it is time for a makeover. REST ASSURED that Kountouris realizes the sensitivity of this project. With that in mind, he hired his friend Sarah Nelson, an interior designer, to do the redesigning. Nelson was somewhat hesitant when Kountouris called her with his plans.

"I said I'd be happy to do it but it made me a little nervous," she said. "Everyone likes it the way it is. I didn't want to change it myself. When you change a place like the Mayflower, you risk changing its ambiance. I could be lynched for this." Indeed, when the regular customers, some of whom have been eating there for years, noticed the preparatory changes, they regarded the whole thing with suspicion.

Don't do I hear it all the time," said Kountouris. 'When someone asks me what I'm fixing to do, I tell them I'm just cleaning up a little bit. That's all." he said, grinning. "I mean the food will still be the AND, AS IT turns out, so will the overall decor. When her friends' main suggestions were to "leave it alone," Nelson decided to do basically that.

The black and white tile will stay on the floor. The booths are also staying, but with a new deep red vinyl covering to replace the brown. And dominating the new grassclothcovered walls, will be a huge blownup photograph of Kountouris that was featured in the holiday issue of Mississippi Magazine.
