(AP) He concedes it will be an uphill fight, but the leader of Kansas United Dry Forces said his group will work to discourage voters in Wyandotte and Johnson counties from approving liquor by the drink in restaurants. Well have people working in both those counties, the Rev. Richard E.

Taylor said Tuesday. Chambers of commerce in both counties plan to lead petition drives to place the restaurant provision on the November general election ballot. In counties where the measure passes, restaurants will be permitted to sell alcoholic beverages with meals under a new law adopted by the 1978 Kansas Legislature. Meanwhile in Hutchinson, the chamber of commerce board of directors voted Tuesday to accept its public affairs committees recommendation that it push a liquor-by-the-drink petition drive. The boards action still must be approved by a majority of chamber members.

Dry forces are planning a county-by-county campaign to warn that restaurant liquor sales will increase alcoholism and related social and economic problems. But Taylor admits the campaign will be difficult in Wyandotte and Johnson counties because liquor-by-the-drink already is legal in neighboring Missouri. Bill Little, president and chief executive officer of the Kansas Gty, Area Chamber of Commerce said the chamber would support the referendum, which he said stands a good chance of passing in Wyandotte County. Wheat storage prospects look much better now HAYS, KAN. (AP) Grain storage problems are lessening as a harvest rush approaches, a farmers cooperative official says.

Things are looking better than at any time this year, Farmers Cooperative Association General Manager Ken Hermann said Tuesday. With harvest only about three weeks away, the co-ops five elevators in Ellis and Rooks counties still need to send out more than 600 railroad hopper cars of grain to make room for the influx. The associations board of directors recently decided it would store grain on the ground if the rail cars were not delivered. But the co-op now is using trucks to augment a steady trickle of hopper cars. BOX 373 IOLA, KS.

Widens has enlisted the help of about 100 residents who have paid $1 each to be judges in the Shame of the Neighborhood contest. Others also have chipped in money, which will be used to reimburse Widens for campaign expenses. Letters sent to the owners of the houses ask that they notify Widens of their intent to make the needed repairs by June 16.

So far Widens has disclosed only the addresses of the houses. But he said the identities of owners who make no Kansas City will shame into fixing up run-down Members of the Iola High School graduating class of 1968 met last weekend in their reunion since graduation.

Willens said he also is considering the possibility of legal action against owners who refuse to upgrade their property because the run-down homes shrink the areas property values.

If the award idea is successful in Marlborough Heights, Willens said it might spread to other cities. If you miss your Register call your paper boy first. If you can't get him, call Richard Middleton, 365-41S6 between 4 and 7 p.m. If you own a home thats gone to hell, its easier to walk away from it and let the city tear it down, the attorney said "Its cheaper to abandon the thing. But we're appealing to the owners pride.

I'm a firm believer that if people recognize the role theyre playing in the destruction of a neighborhood, they'll come forward and do what is decent. Widens, a community activist who lives in Marlborough Heights, is waging a campaign in the middle-class, racially mixed area to tighten mortgage credit, improve the appearance of houses and maintain property values. Like cancer, neighborhood deterioration must be detected early and treated early. 1 think this is the first step to appeal to individual responsibility, he said. Widens said the nominated houses were picked by his son, Mark, a law student, after he toured the area recently.

Most of them had broken or boarded up windows, peeling paint, trash-strewn yards or high weeds, Widens said. "House abandonment is destroying the cities of America and federal tax dollars are being poured into neigh KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) A Kansas City neighborhood group plans to give out the Shame of the Neighborhood award this summer for the most decrepit, run-down house. The idea behind the award is simple: publicly embarrass the owners until the houses are repaired, says Sidney L. Widens, an attorney who represents Malborough Heights Neighbors Inc.

Sixteen houses originally were nominated for the award, but Widens said one was painted after the owner learned of the contest. The houses have been vacant for months, he said, and are owned either by area residents or by the federal government. Widens said the government took over responsibility for four of the houses after the occupants defaulted on federal loans. Jews su ffering TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) The Jewish community in Afghanistan, which numbers only 30 families, reports it is encountering increasing hardships since the leftist military coup in late April. Radio Israel reported the communitys former rabbi, who immigrated to Israel, received a letter saying: We had a hard winter.

This means there was a revolution and the situation is difficult for the Jews, said Rabbi Moshe naAmat. PH- 316-365-3737 FRANK L.
