People The Salina Journal Saturday, July 20,1985 Page 2 Manuel Garcia (center) and his hairless friends. 50 bald pates cheer cancer victim MILWAUKEE (AP) Manuel Garcia feared that when he shaved his head to get rid of the patches of hair left by chemotherapy, "I would be the only one." He didn't need to worry. His home and neighborhood is teeming with bald heads, all in the cause of love and concern for Garcia in his fight against stomach cancer. His brother Julio first had the idea of going bald. Soon about 50 friends and relatives had shaved their heads to cheer up the 39-year- old Garcia.

His his wife, Carmen, 35, held on her lap their 5-year-old son, Miguel, who was bald except for one lock of hair at the nape of the neck. "My son has beautiful hair," she said. "He saw everyone getting their hair cut and said he wanted it too." Garcia said: "At night he called me in and said, 'I did it because I love Kansas eager scores in juggling ATLANTA (AP) Kendall Gammon, a 6-5 teen-ager who spends his winters on the high school basketball back in Kansas, is working hard in the off-season on his juggling. Here's his routine at the International Jugglers Association convention this week: "Go to the juggling hall until we're hungry. Go eat.

We usually come back and juggle until we're hungry again." About 500 jugglers have gathered at Emory University to swap tricks, compete for international honors and learn about such topics as juggling in space. Gammon, 16, a forward-guard at Rose Hill High School, impressed the crowd of about 400 at the IJA junior championship Kendall Gammon does his juggling act. competition by juggling a bowling ball along with much smaller balls and rolling the heavy ball off his head and behind his back. He finished fourth. Turner prefers films to rock role NEW YORK (AP) Tina Turner says she's always been a bit ashamed of her work as a rock star, and hopes that her role in "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" marks the beginning of a career in movies.

"That's what I want! My singing career wasn't what I wanted. It was something I was always ashamed of, because, I guess, of the lady in me," she said in an interview published in the August issue of McCall's magazine. She said she wants to "act and show another side of me that isn't raunchy." Miss Turner said her acting aspirations date to her childhood. Turner "I would go to the movies and come home and act them out for my parents. Then, after I grew up, I discovered it wasn't easy for black people to get into movies," she said.

"So I waited until now, when it doesn't make any difference what color you are." Tommy's car was really up a tree LAKE PROVIDENCE, La. (AP) The next-to-last time Tommy Bass saw his car, it was parked outside a friend's house. The last time, it was up in a tree. Whoever stole Bass' station wagon lost control at an intersection, hit several signs and a boat dock, then soared into the branches of a cypress tree near the shores of Lake Providence. The car was pulled down by tow trucks.

Mailmen to face the naked truth LAND 0' LAKES, Fla. (AP) True to its motto, the U.S. Postal Service will deliver the mail despite rain, sleet, hail and even naked bodies. But under an agreement reached between the post office and the Paradise Lakes nudist resort, residents of the 239-unit "clothes optional" community must wear clothes to the mail box or stay away while carriers make their rounds. Tall shrubbery also will be planted around the mail boxes.

The compromise will let mail service resume to Paradise Lakes 16 months after Lutz Postmaster Henry Thompson stopped deliveries because, he said, the sight of naked bodies was offensive to his employees. Thompson acknowledged he never polled the workers. Robert T. Davis, Tampa's managing postmaster, reversed the ban gfter meeting with Paradise Lakes representatives. Carlin critical of farm loan plan TOPEKA (AP) Gov.

John Carlin said Friday he's not too impressed with a decision Tuesday to make $15 million in state investment funds available to financially strapped farmers. Carlin said Joan Finney, state treasurer and architect of the discount loan program, is to be congratulated for pushing the idea through the Pooled Money Investment Board. However, he said her program doesn't even come close to the proposal he made during the 1985 Legislative session to buy down interest rates. "I'm receptive to any program that is realistic and provides help to farmers," Carlin told his weekly news conference. "I applaud her or anyone supportive of farmers." However, Carlin cast doubts on just how many farmers might benefit.

At current interest rates, farmers could obtain maximum $50,000 loans beginning in September to refinance their present debts at an interest rate of about 10.3 percent. That is 1.5 percent to 4.5 percent below going rates across Kansas on farm operating loans. To be eligible to borrow, a person must derive at least 70 percent of their gross income from farming or ranching. In addition, at least 25 percent of the applicant's annual operating costs must go toward interest on loans already written. Banks who make the loans will determine eligibility of individual farmers under the plan.

The loans will be one year in duration and no farmer can obtain more than $50,000. If all farmers who apply seek $50,000, 300 farmers will get the loans. "That doesn't compare to the magnitude of my program which was discussed during the legislative session," said Carlin. He noted that his idea was to take up to $15 million to buy down interest rates for fanners, rather than dish out loans. He said the.

money would have been spread out over a larger number of farmers that way. "How much help this will be depends on whether the program is used. It will require bankers who are willing to make the loans. And the amount of the loans seems rather modest given the tremendous demand." 1.99 Breakfast Special 6 a.m.-ll a.m. 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, biscuit gravy.
