After the war, he accepted an offer from a childhood friend, Billy Reynolds, to join the family's aluminum company, Reynolds Metals, and became an executive with its international subsidiary, first in Louisville, where he made an abortive run for Congress in the 1950s, later in Bermuda and ultimately in Richmond, Va. lawyer in Louisville, Gorin was among 21 civic leaders who signed an ad calling for an end to American neutrality laws that blocked aid to allies. As he had expected, when the United States did go to war, Gorin, along with the vast majority of the former Veterans of Future Wars, went with it, serving as an artillery captain in Italy, France and Germany and later writing and publish FUNERALS United States.

Robert Lyle Bass Sr. Services will be Monday for Robert Lyle Bass who died in Modesto Thursday. He was a native of Decatur, 111., and lived in Santa Cruz for 31 years before moving to Modesto a year ago. He was a bus driver for Santa Cruz Metro for nine years and the City of Santa Cruz Parking Department for 12 years. He is survived by his wife, Betty Bass; four sons, Robert L.

Bass Jr. of Modesto, David E. Bass of Paradise, Dennis W. Bass and John E. Bass of Davenport, two daughters, Rebecca Tanner and Anita Burleson, both of Cedar City, Utah; two stepchildren, Ron Bruntmyer of Modesto and Deanna Bruntmyer of Riverbank; three brothers, Paul Bass of Upland, Herbert Bass of Encintas and Jim Bass of Santa Cruz; two sisters, Betty Dewey of Lander, and Rosemary Bell of Albany, and 13 grandchildren.

Friends may call a.m. today at Eaton Family Funeral Home in Modesto. Graveside services will be 1 p.m. Monday at Valley Home Memorial Park, Oakdale. Bames, who happened to be the campus correspondent for The New York Times and The Associated Press, won the bet.

Within days after Gorin, Barnes and a handful of others had founded the organization and published a manifesto in the student newspaper on March 16, the movement had generated reams of headlines, spread to scores of campuses across the country, enlisted tens of thousands of members, and spawned a women's auxiliary, the Association of Future Gold Star Mothers. Instead of bonuses, the women demanded free trips to Europe to view the future graves of their unborn sons. Catching the spirit, students elsewhere added wrinkles. At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Future Profiteers demanded advances on future war contracts, and Sweetbriar College students formed a chapter of Future Golddig-gers "to sit on the laps of future profiteers while they drink champagne during the next war." Not everyone was amused. James E.

Van Zandt, national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, denounced the Gorin group as "a bunch of monkeys," and declared they would never be veterans because they were "too yellow to go to war." Like others, including some who saw the Veterans of Future Wars as pacifists and others who viewed them as communists, Van Zandt missed the point. A descendant of the Revolutionary War general Artemus Ward and a man who was later active in the Sons of the American Revolution, the Society of the Colonial Wars and the Society of the Cincinnati, Gorin saw himself as the consummate patriot, one who would willingly answer his country's call in time of war, accept his soldier's pay, then return to civilian life without feeling entitled to further feedings at the public trough. By the fall of 1936, with Gorin at Harvard, the country distracted by a presidential campaign and the gifts that had kept the group's headquarters humming now drying up, the joke was over. The Veterans of Future Wars suspended operations, revoking the charters of 500 posts across the country. Four years later, as a young Victor Randel No services are planned for Victor Randel, who died Wednesday at Dominican Hospital from renal failure.

He was 59. Mr. Randel was born in Dodge City, Kan. and lived in the Santa Cruz area for the past 15 years. He is survived by sons Kyle Randel of Amarillo, Texas and Kit Randel of Gardner, and daughter Rhonda Covey of Kansas.

Arrangements are handled by Davis Memorial Chapel, 609 Main St. Watsonville. Gwendolyn Schwartz No local services are planned for Gwendolyn A. Schwartz, who died Monday at Driftwood Convalescent Hospital from a stroke and Alzheimer's disease. She was 84.

Mrs. Schwartz was born in Thief River Falls, Minn. Her mother died when she was 10 so she was raised by her aunt and maternal grandmother. She spent summers with her father. She graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1935 with a bachelor's degree and taught for many years in Alden, Minn.

She and her husband lived in Albert Lea, Minn, for almost 50 years, moving to Santa Cruz in 1990. Mrs. Schwartz was a member of the United Methodist Church in Albert Lea and the Live Oak Methodist Church. She enjoyed square dancing, doing crossword puzzles and playing bingo and solitaire. Mrs.

Schwartz is survived by son Sydney Schwartz of St. Paul, daughters Laurel Herring of Chester and Linda Schwartz of Ap-tos; brother Dixon Smith of Golden, eight grandchildren; and five great-grandsons. Her husband of 60 years, Sidney Schwartz, died in 1997. A daughter, Ellen Marie, died in 1938, and her son Stephen died in 1992. Burial will be later at Riverside Cemetery, Madelia, Minn.

A memorial service will be held at that time. Cremation was handled by Santa Cruz Cremation. Contributions are preferred to Driftwood Convalescent Hospital, 675 24th Santa Cruz, CA 95062 or the Alzheimer's Association. Francis Gardiner No services are planned for Francis H.

He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and later was a health inspector for the Santa Cruz County, Health Department. His interests included woodworking, cooking and traveling. He particularly enjoyed driving across the By ROBERT Mca THOMAS JR. The New York rimes Lewis J.

Gorin a Princeton-educated, Harvard-trained lawyer who had a long, respectable and thoroughly obscure career as a business executive, gentleman farmer and amateur military historian, died on Jan. 1 at his home in Louisville, Ky. He was 84 and all but forgotten as the man who had tickled a dispirited nation's funnybone in 1936 with a tongue-in-cheek tour de force that created a brushfire national student movement and made Gorin the most famous collegian in America who did not actually play football. If Gorin's 1936 achievement is hardly remembered, there is a reason. For if fame is fleeting, so is innocence.

World War II is no longer the laughing matter it could still be in March 1936, when as a Princeton senior Gorin founded and became the first national commander of the Veterans of Future Wars, an organization formed expressly to obtain an immediate $1,000 bonus for each of the 15 million young Americans who were sure to serve in a war that had not even started. As Gorin deadpanned at the time, with war in Europe clearly imminent and with eventual American involvement a foregone conclusion, the future veterans wanted their bonuses while they were still young and healthy enough to enjoy them and (as he made clear in a follow-up satiric book, "Prepaid Patriotism," published two months later) while the nation still had enough money to pay them before greedy World War I veterans succeeded in squeezing the country dry. At a time when there was widespread resentment against the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars for having browbeaten Congress into passing, over President Franklin D. Roosevelt's veto, $2 billion in accelerated bonuses for four million World War I veterans, most of whom had never made it beyond stateside training camps, Gorin's inspired spoof had far-reaching resonance. Gorin, who said he got the idea while drinking tea at a campus coffee shop, had no intention of forming an actual organization until a friend, Robert G.

Barnes, bet him $5 that he could get the group national publicity if it had a program. NATO Continued from Page Al which many analysts regard as critical to keeping a negotiated peace. "The president has made no decisions, and the foreign policy team has made no recommendations," insisted David Leavy, the spokesman for the National Security Council. The White House does not want ground troops in a situation where there is combat, he said. NATO's latest threat received a cool response in Belgrade, where British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook personally delivered the ultimatum to Milosevic.

The Yugoslav president, who has maintained that he will not give autonomy to the 90 percent, ethnic Albanian population of Kosovo, has a week to start negotiations, and three weeks to come to an agreement, or face airstrikes, Cook told Milosevic. Milosevic refused to conduct the negotiations in the French town, near Paris, saying that Kosovo is "an integral part of Serbia" and that talks should be held in-country. But Cook said Milosevic did not outright refuse the demand to hold talks immediately. "I did not expect to get a 'yes' on the spot," Cook told reporters in Belgrade. Cook then flew to Skopje, Macedonia, to meet with feuding Albanian leaders.

Divisions on the Albanian side represent another stumbling block to peace, even though Albanians are united in feeling wronged by the ruling Serbian regime. Albanian political leader Ibrahim Rugova has backed a nonviolent solution. But he has no control over the KLA, which has waged a guerrilla war against the Serb police and army for about a year, and which re IN MEMORIAM MICH Al AH RAIN REED I3IH-322M HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'THE MENTION OF HER NAME' The mention of her name May bring tears to our eyes.

Her life, though short, was rich and full.

Her passionate engagement In life won her a wide circle of dear friends.

In the High-Tech Adventure Race at Folsom in July, her team placed 12th out of 165 teams, being the highest-placing nonprofessional team. Holly was the top-finishing athlete from the Sacramento area in the race. Holly's love for the natural world earned her the nickname of "Hiking Holly" in her family.

American Heart Association Fighting HMfl DtSMM Reduce your risk factors fuses to accept anything less than independence for Kosovo. Milosevic, for his part, refuses to give Kospvo independence. His armed forces have waged an aggressive assault against KLA-held territory in Kosovo, including civilian homes. About 2,000 people, mainly Albanians, have died since the conflict began, and 250,000 have been forced to flee their homes to escape burning and looting of ethnic Albanian villages. A critical question now is the KLA's commitment to peace talks.

Last October's cease-fire agreement was wrested from Milosevic, and the KLA was not at the negotiating table. It is not clear whether a KLA representative will be at the negotiating table in Rambouillet. The Serbs have complained that when they pull back their forces, as specified in the October agreement, the KLA only moves in and takes over the territory.

Most important may be the loss of one's personal support system (family that has moved away, friends deceased or disabled) to help with their grief. That is why it is so important for those who remain to deliver extra help and care. As you grow older, it is normal to become acutely aware of the deaths of your contemporaries. Identifying with friends and people of the same age who die is only natural. Sometimes when we grieve for them, we are also in part grieving for ourselves.

In addition to the deaths of friends and possibly of one's spouse, there are a myriad of other losses which also require some grief work. These other losses might include declining health and sensory acuity, financial or BAD CREDIT? NO GOOD CREDIT? NO No Income Verification Self Employed! Delinquent Taxes! Bankruptcies! Judgements!
