Greenwood, S.C., July 8, 1993 Video poker (Continued from page 1) The local agents then told him the name of his business must change because it advertises gambling, he said. The confusion is not surprising, said department spokesman Danny Brazell. The department is trying to teach its own agents more about the law while trying to keep poker owners and operators up to date, Brazell said. Casino owners unsuccessfully fought in court to delay the law, mainly because of the eight-machine limit. The law also prohibits advertising, limits a player's winnings to $125 in a 24-hour-period, and requires each county to vote on the future of the games in 1994.

In the past week, state agents have closed the doors on three Upstate video poker parlors without licenses and cited a Charleston parlor for having five Youths (Continued from page 1) gested that twice as many youths had registered for jobs as the government would have available. The jobs include clerical work in city offices, maintenance work for public properties, recreational work at parks, nursing assistance in hospitals and supervising and tutoring children at day care facilities. In announcing the survey results last month, Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich called on private businesses to help bridge the gap. In Seattle, businesses did provide some jobs, according to LaVonne Douville, director of the Division of Family and Youth Services.

But, she added, "'There still is going to be a lot of youths who won't have jobs this summer. Our overall economy is not awful, but it's not really good The private sector in Los Angeles, where idle youths joined riots in the spring of last year, wasn't able to take up much slack either. "The private sector effort just fell apart in Los said James Seeley, federal legislative representative for the city here. "They just didn't have any jobs." Reich still is urging business and industry to provide youth jobs. "Providing our young people with the opportunity to work and learn over the summer continues to be a high priority of the Clinton administration," he said.

"The summer jobs program translates to meaningful work assignments, labor market experiences and, last but not least, real earnings for thousands of lowincome youth who want and need a chance to be part of the labor force." The Labor Department on Wednesday began distributing the final $166.5 million in federal 1 funds for the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program. The money was part of a $1 billion measure passed last Thursday all that remained of Clinton's original $16.3 billion request last winter. That request last winter included $1 billion alone for the summer jobs program. When added to $868 million already available from previous appropriations, it would have created 1.3 million slots for disadvantaged youths. What survives now is the $166.5 million and the $868 million, which includes the current appropriation plus unspent funds from last summer's program.

Clinton's $16.3 billion jobs request was killed in a Republicanled Senate filibuster.

Fewer jobs were created this year because of increased costs. Funds for the program are distributed to the states according to a formula based on such factors as unemployment and poverty levels. States then allocate the money to cities and counties using the same criteria. The additional funds now being distributed range from about $408,000 for states such as Delaware, Hawaii, North and South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming, to more than $21 million for California.

He said the agency also was establishing an 800 telephone number to enable victims to apply for aid by telephone.

The swollen Mississippi River has sprawled seven miles outside its banks north of St. Louis and forced the evacuation of thousands of people from their homes in Illinois and Iowa. Parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota already have been declared disaster areas. Other damage has occurred in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and South Dakota. The flooding has claimed 16 lives and officials have estimated it has caused more than $1 billion in damage to property and crops.

"My direction is simple, urgent and said Clinton. "All federal agencies must coordinate their actions. Teamwork is the order of the day." He said the request to Congress would be 'on an emergency basis" and would seek funds pay for crop loss and damage to homes, businesses and public property. Yeltsin (Continued from page 1) Sometimes perceived as an unpredictable bumbler, Yeltsin seems willing to respect the wishes of his hosts. At the airport, Yeltsin deferred to Japanese officials who pushed him away as he repeatedly tried to speak with waiting Russian journalists after his smooth arrival statement.

Later, Yeltsin thanked Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa for the chance to visit Tokyo to meet with the G-7 leaders and expressed relief that "there be no territorial negotiations" at this time, said Nomura Issei, head of the Eurasia bureau of the Japanese Foreign Ministry. The Russian president also raised the issue of scheduling his City log FIRE DEPARTMENT The Greenwood City Fire Department responded Wednesday at 11:18 a.m. to a Watson Street residence after children playing with matches caught some trash and other debris on fire. Units also responded Wednesday at 5:08 p.m. to the 100 and 200 blocks of Main Street to investigate a gas smell.

Nothing was found. VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS Northwest Station 30 responded today at 7 a.m. to a grass fire behind an Old Abbeville Road residence. Northwest alsc responded Wednesday at 1:35 p.m. to a gas spill from a wreck on the S.C.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES Greenwood County EMS responded Wednesday to seven transport requests and to emergen- Deaths and funerals Deaths (Continued from page 1) Murder was the leading cause of death for women on the job.

Of the 18 women who died at work, 10 were slain and most worked in the retail industry, Stone said. More than half of the 25 men who were slain also were in retail. Stone said his findings support other studies that have shown homicide is a danger in the retail industry, where cash constantly changes hands. But the killings were not limited to that industry. "I think it's a social factor.

There's a lot of violence in our society. And some people take their violence to work with Stone said Wednesday. State Labor Department spokesman Jim Knight said the results were not surprising. "'Motor vehicle accidents have always been the No. 1 cause for worker he said.

homicides have probably been on the rise here in the last five or six years Most job-related homicides typically occur in gasoline, fast food, service-type industries where robberies are frequent, Knight said. Domestic violence also has spilled over into the workplace with family members assaulting each other on the job, he said. Women had a much lower overall death rate than men because women generally work in lessdangerous jobs, Stone said. "'Most of the women tend to work in service, retail trade and those areas that have very low death rates in general," he said. The most dangerous industries, according to the study, were transportation, communication and ntilities.

Overall, the study indicates South Carolina's work-related death rate may be higher than the national average. South Carolina's average was 8.84 deaths per 100,000 workers in 1989-90. Figures for those years weren't available nationally, but the national average from 1980-88 was about 7 per 100,000 workers. The U.S. Public Health Service has set a nationwide goal of 4 per 100,000 by the end of the decade, Stone said.

The state Labor Department enforces the federal Occupation Safety and Health Act to ensure a safe and healthy work site. But there are no rules to address motor vehicle safety or homicide, Knight said. Delegation (Continued from page 1) bers proposed, on average, $339.3 higher spending. Porkbusters Coalition members came in the lowest, proposing an average of $15.8 billion in spending cuts. The group opposes unneeded public works projects.

Inglis, a freshman member from Greenville, sponsored net cuts of $40.4 billion. Spratt, one of the delegation's more liberal lawmakers, supports a legislative agenda that would reduce federal spending by nearly $27 billion, the study found. Ravenel, who is quitting Congress to seek the GOP gubernatorial nomination in 1994, backs legislation that would lower federal spending by $7.8 billion. Two of the state's most fiscally conservative members Republicans Strom Thurmond and Floyd Spence have sponsored initiatives that would increase spending by $5 billion and $7.8 billion, respectively. Democratic Sen.

Fritz Hollings is among the 33 senators who didn't sponsor a single spending cut this year, the study said. He has endorsed legislation, however, that would add $6.1 billion to the spending side of the ledger. ROSALIE J. DRENNAN Rosalie Jordon Drennan, formerly of 712 Highland Park' Avenue, widow of Joseph W. Drennan, died July 8, 1993 at Self Memorial Hospital.

Born in Fort Shoal, she was a daughter of the late William Berry and Ellie J. Lawrence Jordon. She was a retired interior decorator, having worked with Sprout Brothers Furniture and had also worked for Frank Addy Jewelers. She was a member of the Clemson Homemaker Extension Club, the Narcissus Garden Club, the Cheerio Club, and the Mary Pinckney Ouzts Chapter of the Eastern Star, where she had received her 50-year pin. She was a a member of Main Street United Methodist Church and the Lawton Sunday School Class.

Surviving are two sons, Joe Drennan of Moultrie, and Gerald J. Drennan of Woodstock, a daughter, Mrs. Hilda B. Howerton of Greenville; five sisters, Lucille Pickens Jordon Palmer and Mary Lou Jordon Dawson, both of Columbus, N.C., Miss Helen Berry Jordon and Agnes McCormick Jordon Smith, both of Due West, and Eleanor Jordon Wilson of Columbia; two brothers, Robert Milford Jordon of Columbus, N.C., and George Weldon Jordon of Hertford, N.C.; three grandchildren; six great-grandchildren.

Main Street, Greenwood, S.C. 29646. Spending (Continued from page 1) government spending by $143 billion, while Republicans would cut about $7 billion. But there were wide variations in each party, particularly among Democrats. Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, whose urban districts would benefit greatly from new federal programs, proposed an average of $339 billion in new spending.

At the other end of the ideological spectrum was the Conservative Democratic Forum, whose members averaged only $1.3 billion in new spending. As their voting patterns so far have suggested, members of the big freshman class of lawmakers on average have not been much different than their seniors when it comes to introducing bills that affect spending. However, the study found they were more sharply polarized. Eighty-five percent of Republican freshman proposed net cuts in spending. Democrats were more likely than senior members to embrace national health insurance.

Part of the explanation of why average spending sponsorship has declined lies in a drop-off in sponsorships of universal health care plans, which cost well in excess of $100 billion. The study found 17 members who backed such programs in the last Congress have not done so this time around. The changed political dynamic President Clinton is about to introduce his own health care plan may account for some of the dropoff. Other political factors, such as Ross Perot's unrelenting attack on federal deficits, probably play a role, Hewitt said. The existence of the NTUF study may itself be a factor in making members more hesitant to sponsor costly bills.

He praised the efforts of the Red Cross and Salvation Army to assist victims, as well as the work of National Guard units that have been filling sandbags in the effort to hold back the flood waters. "'Let me ask each of you to take heart and have faith," he said. "As hard as these times are, you know that the waters will soon recede and the work of recovery will begin." With more rain in the forecast for the rest of the week, residents and emergency workers along the upper Mississippi Valley labored to hold back the waters.

Yeltsin and his entourage are doing their best to fit in at the economic meeting, to appear selfconfident and act as if a "Group of Eight" already existed.

The G-7 may not have yet accepted Yeltsin as a full member, but he got royal treatment from the imperial family. At a dinner at the imperial palace, Yeltsin was seated next to Empress Michiko and his wife, Naina, was placed next to Emperor Akihito. Mrs. Yeltsin will participate in the program for spouses. At last year's summit in Munich and on other foreign trips, Yeltsin has left her back in Moscow.

The announcement of the privatization package came hours after Yeltsin arrived in Tokyo. Yeltsin was holding talks with individual leaders about the overall $28.4 billion aid package they have pledged for this year. Japan, which has a lingering territorial dispute with Russia over northern islands seized after World War II, has generally been cool to aid for Yeltsin's government. The Russian leader sought to mend relations as soon as he landed, apologizing for abruptly canceling two previously planned visits to Tokyo. with Japan are one of the most important priorities of Russian foreign policy," he said.

Japanese officials said later that Yeltsin had proposed an official visit to Japan sometime in September or October.

Wednesday, less than four hours before the drawing, Crouch said. Unlike other states in the game, Wisconsin does not give a bonus to the seller of a jackpot ticket. Fond du Lac, a city of 37,750, is about 50 miles northwest of Milwaukee on Lake Winnebago. The largest individual lottery winner in U.S. history until now is Sheelah Ryan of Winter Springs, who won $55.16 million in the Florida lottery in September 1988.

It's possible that the Powerball ticket was not purchased by an individual, however, since many people purchase lottery tickets as part of a group.

Sealy advised drinking plenty of liquids especially water to offset thirst. "Take it easy on the alcohol because it can increase evaporative loss," the doctor said.

For those who must work outdoors, Sealy recommended wearing white clothing, covering the head and using sunscreens. Staying near shadowed areas is also advised. People needing to care for gardens and lawns should work outdoors in the early morning hours or at dusk, he said. "'It's certainly common sense." Self Memorial spokesman Dan Branyon said in spite of the continuous heat there have been no heat -related deaths in Greenwood. "I guess we've been lucky so Branyon said.

The hospital's emergency room, however, has seen a few patients with heat illnesses, including cramps, exhaustion and weakness. "'That's about normal for this time of year," Branyon said.
