Larry Conners, state director of (Continued From Page 1 some young persons "are no worse off now than in the past." "Without a skill, a kid will find it tough; even if he is only looking for a summer job," said Bailey. He added that changes in federal regulations will soon require all Jobs programs to include skill training. Bailey said he thinks the "biggest detriment" for youths now is the price of gasoline.

"Young people cannot afford a car or the gas to drive to a job. It is especially bad in a rural area like western Kentucky," he said. Young persons who think they might qualify for a jobs program may obtain information from the Bureau for Manpower Services, 418 S. 6th Paducah. Most of the programs are funded through CETA (Comprehensive Employment Training Act), noted Betty Rosenbaum, coordinator in the services office.

Although some CETA programs for adults have been curtailed, the money for youth programs remains intact, she said. In McCracken County, 116 students will find work in a CETA summer work program this year.

Also, Diane is concerned about a proposed Model Adoption Act to set a national standard for all states' adoption laws. The act, proposed by the U.S.

Department of Health, Education and Welfare, will be approved or disapproved after a public comment period ends June 15. The act would urge states to open adoption records to all parties adoptee, adoptive parents, natural parents and adoption agencies when the child turns 18. Favored by many adult adoptees who face difficulty in tracing their biological parents, the records portion of the act is designed to facilitate efforts to locate blood relatives Diane favors a national standard in helping with this problem, but she fears the act's approach is not a good one. It would allow any party to see the records without other parties' consent. "I think there should be a mutual consent from the adopted child and his natural parents," Diane said.

"A non-biased third party could be responsible for getting that consent in sort of a clearinghouse situation." The act also would have birth parents to make tape recordings of their reasons for placing the child for adoption. The child could listen to the tapes when he is 18. That provision is so ridiculous, it is laughable, Diane said. "First of all, you're lucky if you can even get the father to admit it. I can just see somebody sticking a tape recorder up to him," she said.

Secondly, young mothers often aren't capable of putting their emotions into words for their child to hear 18 years later, she said. "One girl (age 15) in the home I was in said her parents had told her she couldn't have a 'Sweet 16' birthday party, if she kept the child. Can't you just hear her telling that child she traded it for a party?" she said. The act requires consent of both Canal (Continued From Page 1 ago by Hooker Chemical Co. A health study released Saturday indicated some residents had suffered chromosome damage.

Over the next six months, EPA officials plan more chromosome, neurological and reproductive tests, which will be the basis for a decision on permanent relocation. But frustrated residents were angered by temporary action when it appeared cheaper for the federal government to simply purchase their homes and move them away. One man said his family's bill for food and lodging in a motel would come to $50,000 for one year, while the government could buy his home for its assessed value of $38,000.

We're making every attempt to receive additional funds. I hope to hear something by June Nancy Boaz of Paducah, a senior special education major at Murray State University, said she and a roommate "spent a week looking before getting an offer." Miss Boaz was hired as a clerk at a Paducah fast-food restaurant. "I've got a good job now, but I was surprised at how difficult it was to find, "she said. Paul Barnhill, 18, an accounting student at Paducah Community College, worked previously sacking groceries. He hasn't found work this summer.

"People say business is slow or that they're just not hiring," said Barnhill. "It kind of gets to you after a while." particulate levels here, normally 80 micrograms per cubic meter, were measured at 11,000 micrograms Wednesday. Officials do not yet know how serious inhalation of the minuscule, dagger-like particles might be. Mayor (Continued From Page 1) Caldwell said, "it is important to point out there is a significant difference between the amount of proof required for a grand jury indictment and that needed for a conviction." Caldwell added he did not want to conduct a trial that could "turn into a tremendous waste of taxpayers money." Cunninghman in a prepared statement said "there has been much public clamor about Lawrence Martin." He added Martin has been "the controversial center of political turmoil in Princeton. "But criminal cases must not be prosecuted simply because of public clamor," he said.

Caldwell said he withdrew a request this week that the trial not begin until handwriting analysis reports could be received. He said the reports would not have been ready by today and added he was trying to cooperate with Martin's request for a speedy trial. But lack of the reports contributed to calling off prosecution, he said. Both Caldwell and Cunningham said they considered the case now closed. "Of course, we have no authority over other law agencies, but I don't anticipate additional charges," Cunningham said.

FREE Normal Local 1 UNITED natural parents to place the baby for adoption and requires mem days after the birth before finalizing necessary papers. Diane said she was required to wait three days before signing the papers, terminating her parental rights, and that was too long. "The time afterwards was particularly difficult," she said, trembling. "I had to stay three days in that hospital room, thinking about it, when I really could have gone home. I was suffering a very great loss and people were asking, 'Aren't you.

relieved it's all over? No, I wasn't relieved and the experience was not over." Diane said she still suffers from the experience, especially on occasions like Mother's Day, graduation of children the same age of her daughter and the birthday of her daughter. The experience affected her values, she said. She favors sex education for children at home and at school and liberal abortion laws. Abortion was not an alternative for her in 1966, but she believes it is a viable choice today for young pregnant women. However, easing of adoption records' confidentiality would not cause more women to have abortions, as some critics of the act have claimed, she said.

"If a pregnant woman is considering adoption, it's because she loves the baby. She wouldn't let what's going to happen in -18 years have any effect," she said. Whatever happens with the federal act, Diane said she hopes the searches for biological relatives is made easier. Although she has taken no steps yet toward locating her daughter, she expects to begin such an effort when the child is 18 or 21 years old, she said. However, she would not want her desire to locate her child to frighten her daughter's adoptive parents, she said.

"It's not realistic to think after 18 years, her attitude toward her adoptive parents could change in 10 minutes after meeting me," she said. "At no place in my struggles have I wanted to replace the adoptive parents." Diane said she sees no reason why her child, and other adoptees, cannot love their natural and adoptive parents. "Nobody doubts the ability of a child to love more than two parents in today's society with up to two stepparents. Why not love the natural mother, too?" she said. Although she wants to establish a relationship with her daughter later, she said she would not do it without her daughter's willingness.

'1 have no desire to interrupt her life. I'd be thrilled to death if she knocked on my door, but I won't be knocking on hers," she said. Meanwhile, Diane lives with her past the best she can and that often means, holding her tongue during conversations of unknowing, insensitive peers, she said. "I've been around people who'd say, 'What kind of parent would put their child up for I don't say anything, but I want to say, 'One that loves that child very much, more than she said. 1980 Color TV's Color Console With Operating Trade-In TV TERMS diagonal COCO IV 1VIC0724W Warn- Inah on ragh enpoct ptosnc FREE FREE GIFT!

At least three proposed routes are studied by federal highway officials. Routes include crossing the Ohio River at Paducah; Rosiclare, 111., and a route between Princeton and Cairo, 111., which would either be a part of 1-24 or a connector to it.

Delays in deciding the exact routte causes concern among some officials that the project might be cancelled. June 4, 1961 A fourth proposal for the route is submitted to the federal government by Indiana officials, who want the highway to run through Evansville. Paducah native Henry Ward, the new Kentucky highway commissioner, makes 1-24 a priority project and initiates action to see; that problems with its location are resolved. March 21, 1962 Engineering firm employed to make a traffic determination survey and recommend feasible location. Oct.

23, 1962 Ward announces that seven possible routes have been identified. Three are proposed to run through Paducah and the other four would run north of Paducah. Feb. 27, 1963 Highway officials from Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee begin meetings to study the engineering report and decide which route should be followed. April 15, 1963 A second engineering study, based on information gathered from highway officials in the four states, is expected to be completed soon.

This report will make a definite recommendation for an exact route. Sept. 18, 1964 Ward "assures" Paducah officials that 1-24 will pass through the community. He says the exact location has not been decided, but a general route is approved under which the highway would enter Kentucky near Fort Campbell and cross the lakes near the dams and stretch to Paducah. Feb.

12, 1965 The U.S. Bureau of Highways approves the locationof the 1-24 bridge over the Ohio River between Paducah and Metropolis, 111. It is the first major action taken to pinpoint the exact location of the highway. The engineering firm of Hazelet and Urdal of Louisville will design the bridge.

Carter told reporters as he arrived in the Northwest on Wednesday night he had come to express "my admiration for the courage and for the calmness that the people have shown in the face of one of the most devastating natural explosions our nation has ever known." But state officials told him they needed money. Rep. Mike McCormack, whose district includes the volcano, said the president was told that cleanup of ash-laden cities in eastern Washington could cost between $150 million and $200 million.

As poor weather hampered helicopter searches Wednesday, the mountain was quiet. Meanwhile, states of emergency in several eastern Washington counties hard hit by the volcano's ash fallout were extended for health reasons. Ron Edgar, a chemist with the Spokane Air Pollution Control Authority, said the ash which shut down businesses and schools and stranded some 5,000 travelers was similar to the substances that cause lung ailments in miners and stonemasons. Officials said air around Paducah where engineers continue to review locations that would displace the least number of persons. Dec.

7, 1967 Groundbreaking ceremonies are held to mark the beginning construction. The first contract is for grade and drain work on a short section in Lyon County near Eddy Creek. June 11, 1968 Contract awarded for work on the bridge over the Ohio River. A bridge completion date in mid-1970 is mentioned, June 1968 to June 1977 Contracts awarded for various phases and various sections of the interstate. Final location of the highway around Paducah is decided.

Oct. 18, 1974 The first section of the interstate, including the bridge over the Ohio River, opens from U.S. 60 in McCracken County to portions opened previously in Illinois. Sept. 14, 1975 A 23-mile section is opened between Cadiz and the Tennessee line.

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Gov. Julian Carroll promises that the entire highway will be completed when his term of office ends in December 1979. October 1977 Section from U.S. 68 near Reidland to U.S. 62 near Kentucky Dam is opened.

Dec. 15, 1978 Interstate opened around the city of Paducah with Gov. Julian Carroll and local officials cutting a ribbon to signify the event. Aug. 2, 1979 Bridge over the Ohio River ordered closed after routine testing indicates 119 cracks in tie girder.
