(Prices Blue-Ribbon Men Blend Into Crowd At Parade SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) The 167 men seemed to blend into the crowd for the Veterans Day parade. But what set them apart and held them together was the blue ribbon around each man's neck with the nation's highest award for courage in battle the Medal of Honor. The men, gathered in San Jose for a semi-annual meeting of the Medal of Honor Society, watched Friday's parade and also took part in it. They rode in a collection of convertible automobiles, smiling and waving to the 5,000 spectators along an eight-block route of downtown streets.

Thomas A. Pope of Woodland Hills, the first Army man to receive the medal in World War was delighted with the response of young people in the crowd. "I'm a patriot, and if we can get the kids to think right about this country, it's going to be a better country," Pope said. Although the federal legal holiday was observed Oct. 24, many groups throughout the nation held Veterans Day activities on the traditional Nov.

11 date. It was an especially memorable day for the men who were given the nation's highest military honor by Son For Yagers A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Yager Vandalia, today at 5:04 a.m. at the Audrain Medical Center.

He weighed seven pounds 10 ounces and has not yet been named. Mr. Yager is employed by Harbison-Walker Refractories, Vandalia. Congress for risking their lives in combat "beyond the call of duty." Medal recipients, including 61-year-old Leonard A. Funk of Pittsburgh, said the award had benefits other than a feeling of pride.

"It changed my life completely," said Funk, a retired Veterans Administration worker who had been cited for his participation in the Battle of the Bulge Jan. 29, 1945. But Phil C. Katz, who will be 90 next month, was less moved. "It's just something I did," he said.

What he did, in fact, was climb out of a trench in the Argonne on Sept. 26, 1918. Dodging heavy German machine gun fire, he went to rescue his wounded buddy, Phil Page. When Page told him to go back, Katz recalled that he replied, "Go to hell." He then dragged Page to safety. Page later returned the favor, managing Katz's successful campaign for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Medal winner Maj. Jim Taylor, 39, remains on active duty as executive officer for Army recruiting in San Francisco.

The council's 252-member governing board also voted Friday to voice its concern for the plight of people under repressive regimes, including the Soviet Union, which it named. The recommendations came as the board ended its three- day meeting. Board members explained that the council has no policy on abortion. But it addressed an issue raised by two seemingly contradictory U.S. Supreme Court rulings.

The high court has ruled that abortion is a "legal right." But it also has said that the government does not have to provide federal aid to pay for abortions for the poor. Congress and some states currently are grappling with the question of public funding of abortions. To Be Monday MARTINSBURG-Mrs. Lena L. Jacobi, 77, of Martinsburg died today at 3:10 a.m.

Plaza In Operation; Flood Traces Gone By SCOTT KRAFT Associated Press Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Shoppers come in droves these days to walk the sidewalks of Kansas City's Country Club of flash-flood devastation two months ago. They pass some of the Midwest's finest stores, eye the fine tweeds, jewelery and silver. They savor the smell of fine foods on the grills of plaza restaurants. A visitor would have to look closely to realize that a trickle of a creek swelled to a torrent that took a sudden, crippling swipe at nearly half of this chic shopping district.

A day after the flood, half of the 155 Plaza stores were closed. This week, only three restaurants and one department store have not reopened. Miller Nichols, whose father founded the Plaza, set the tone for the massive cleanup: "I just said, 'to hell with the flood, let's get Store owners who thought they were looking at months of rebuilding have opened. Others are remodeling, expanding and introducing whole new stocks. "The merchants thought it was a disaster area," said Ellyn Abloff, executive vice president of the Plaza Merchants Association.

"But it got pulled back too." In addition to merchandise and interiors destroyed, many merchants lost records which had been stored in basement offices. The flood waters rose quickly up to five feet in some stores and restaurants near rain-swollen Brush Creek. Basements in much of the plaza were completely filled with water. Officials say the flood damage to the Kansas City area is approaching $100 million. Twenty-five persons lost their lives.

Executives in dungarees supervised cleanup crews throughout the following week. At Bits Pieces, a miniatures shop, Ed and Jacqueline Schulz surveyed LIBERTY Theatre s. -Stitt.

what little remained of their handmade stock. In the basement, the mailing list for a national catalog and other records were swallowed under eight feet of water. "I would never have believed it," Mrs. Schulz says today. "I couldn't even imagine getting the mud out.

It took us a week to dig out the basement." Their shop is one of the examples how helpful competitors can be. Miniatures shops from all over the country have mailed boxes of miniatures so Bits Pieces can reopen, she said. National warehouses responded quickly to most requests from merchants to replenish their stocks. At Jack Henry clothing store, which lost a main store and two specialty clothing shops to the wall of water, damaged goods were moved out and the doors opened six weeks later with new stock. "We just had some salvage people come in here, take the labels out and carried them off for so many cents on the dollar," said Dave Carpenter, president of Jack Henry.

"A lot of it we just shoveled out." Martinsburg Short Of Water MARTINSBURG-Residents of Martinsburg are being asked to conserve water until the city's broken water pump can be repaired. Mayor Lawrence Arens said workers wer.e attempting today to determine the problem and would not be able to say how long the community would be short of water until they know what repairs are needed. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) With the advent of cold weather the 1977 tornado season is winding down, the National Severe Storms Forecast Center reports, and it said it has been an unusual year. The center reported there have been slightly more than 800 tornadoes this year, about 125 more than the average across the past 20 years.

There have been 42 deaths, well below the average of 110 over the same span. Allen C. Pearson, director of the center in Kansas City, said the tornado season is nearly over because cooler air now is dominant throughout the country and a collision of warm and cool air is a principal ingredient in the pressure cooker that spawns a tornado. But he also is quick to point out that there is no time when there might not be a tornado somewhere in the country, and he is expecting 20 to 30 more before the end of the year. Pearson, who measures the twisters by the word "significance said the most significant this North Birmingham, on April 4, leaving 22 dead, 130 injured and 15 million in property damage.

And the second most significant tornado happening, he said, was an outburst of eight twisters in seven hours on May 4 in a rather narrow belt from Lawrence in eastern Kansas, across the south fringe of the the Kansas City area to Sedalia, Mo. Property damage was estimated at $10 million but there were only three deaths, all in or near Pleasant Hill, Mo. "It was the worst local outbreak of tornadoes on record," Pearson said. "I shudder to think what might have happened if school officials at Pleasant Hill hadn't known what to do." They had youngters hunker down against the walls of corridors and away from windows. The high school and a grade school were heavl.

damaged. None of the deaths were there. Next on the significance! scale was a twister which hit! Lake Mattoon, on Aug. 21.1 It killed six, injured 56, most! of them when a mobile home I park was practically wiped out. 1 "It was the first killer tor-1 nado ever recorded in Illinois in August," said Pearson, to whom such things are significant.

"Los Angeles had several, but without injuries." Obviously, tornadoes are a rarity in Los Angeles. Almost half the states have had a significant number of tornadoes in 1977. The tabulation shows 112 in Texas, 68 in Nebraska, 54 in Oklahoma, 35 in Iowa, 33 in Illinois, 32 in Colorado, Florida and Louisiana, 31 in Michigan, 30 in Mississippi and North Dakota, 28 in South Dakota, 25 in Minnesota and North Carolina, 20 in Ohio, 19 in Kansas, 17 in Arkansas, 16 in Georgia, 15 in Missouri, Indiana and Wisconsin, 12 in Pennsylvania and 10 in Virginia. Besides the 22 deaths in Alabama, the six in Illinois and the three in Missouri, there were two in Mississippi and one each in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana and Wisconsin. "If you pick one state that's had a lot of bad weather it's Wisconsin," Pearson said.

"It had a very stormy summer with hundreds of square miles ravaged by winds." It is significant to Pearson that with more than 800 tornadoes in 1977 only 14 resulted in deaths and only four resulted in more than one death. "A lot of them, but a lot of them in less populated areas," he said, adding, "Good warnings and some luck prevented many deaths." Sell those summer leftovers before fall arrives 581-1111.
