The Tribune Monday, September 19, H)H8 Extension volunteers studied ''K''- i out fcsfcTni iiiiiliilim I i ma my Win m. mvummtf mWKW WMrnmm t'm vr the summer's searing drought. And in other communities, both rural and urban, the three million Cooperative Extension Service volunteers for the U.S. Department of Agriculture provide information and educational programs on ever-thing from alternative farm crops and improving nutrition to the problems of pesticide contamination in groundwater. A recently completed four-year study by the University of Wisconsin, "Extension and Volunteers: Valuable Partnerships," focused on the volunteers who comprise the bulk of extension workers, along with 11.200 professional extension agents.

The study's authors reported the volunteer system, upon which the cooperative extension was founded nearly 75 years ago, is going strong and continues to provide a vital link in the USDA's efforts to get information out to people. The study lauded the often unsung people who volunteer in the program. Walking, rolling for CROP Dave Hollingsworth, Dee Tohias, Ethel Wilson, Sharon' Ingermill, Thelrna Renaly, Sue Davis, Margaret John Collins, Ralph Myers, Jack Moore and Ditk Hoover. Seventy-three persons started the alk from the West Lafayette Methodist Church, with six-week-olrf Rebekah Berry apparently being the youngest of many' children to complete the trek. Walkers will be collecting' pledges in the days ahead which are to be given to CROP, Walk treasurer Bill Dreher at Home Loan and (Tribune photo by Roger Foster) than 22H persons joined in two CROP Walk efforts Sunday to raise money for world hunger.

About persons representing 2(1 county churches and other groups walked in a loop from the fairgrounds to Lake Park and hack to the fairgrounds. A partial listing of pledges totaled for Coshocton walkers. An entourage of SO residents, volunteers and staff members from Echoing Hills Residential Center travelled from the fairgrounds to Koscoe Village, where the walking escorts left the wheelchair riders and completed the ltl-kilonieler course. Shown Irom left are participants Ron Dianni, Obituaries Applegate explains vote on gun control measure Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Rep. Douglas Applegate, D-Ohio, voted against a controversial plan Thursday that would have required a seven-day waiting period on handgun purchases.

"I'm against any gun control," said Applegate. "There are a lot of honest, God-fearing gun owners in my area, and these people are not the problem. The criminals are the problem." Applegate said there should be stricter enforcement of the current laws against convicted felons owning guns rather than a federally mandated waiting period on all handgun purchases. "A waiting period is just the beginning of more, very restrictive control over all firearms," he said. The key vote was on an amendment by Rep.

Bill McCollum, to wipe out the waiting period and instead require a study to develop a system for identifying felons who try to purchase hand guns. The McCollum measure passed by a vote of 228-182, with 101 Democrats and 127 Republicans, including McEwen, voting for it and 137 Democrats and 45 Republicans opposing it. Critics said the McCollum Amend ment was a maneuver by gun groups to defeat the waiting period. The proposal for a seven-day waiting period for buying a hand gun from a dealer was symbolically named the Brady Amendment after White House Press Secretary James Brady, who was seriously wounded and left impaired March 1981 when President Reagan was shot. It was bitterly opposed by the National Rifle Association which called it "backdoor registration of American firearms owners." The Brady Amendment will not stop crime, the NRA asserted, but instead will spend millions of dollars of tax funds investigating honest citizens while crimminals roam free.

The Brady Amendment had the support of a coalition of 11 police groups called the Law Enforcement Steering Committee. They called it "a low cost, common-sense bill that would save lives and keep guns out of the hands of those who cannot be entrusted with them." The police groups assailed the McCollum alternative as an unworkable "sham" whose only purpose was to kill the Brady bill. Currently waiting periods, or permits, for the purchase of hand guns are required by the laws of 22 states. port Network Directory," a list of resources and information for farm families struggling with adverse economic and emotional effects of Report ROCK FALLS ON CAR At 7:31 p.m. Saturday, Kay Carnes of 1959 Adams St.
