The investor makes a deposit of funds, called a single premium deposit, and the earnings grow within the contract on a tax-deferred basis. The minimum investment for a variable annuity is usually $S,OOO, and, unlike an IRA, there is no limit as to how much you can invest. Therefore, annuities make a good choice for investors hoping to use tax-advantaged strategies for large lump sums (such as the proceeds form the sale of a house, .a large bonus,_etc.). In most variable annuity contracts, you may conhnue to add to your investment in amounts of as little as $100. . Early withdrawal from an annuity contract is subject to a declining fee called a surrender charge, but there is no up-front sales charge, so all of your money goes to work from the day you invest it. If you leave the money in for the full term of the contract, there is no surrender charge' at all. However, as with other tax-deferred retirement vehicles, the federal 10 percent early withdrawal penalty applies if you withdraw the money prior to age 59. Existing annuity contracts may generally be exchanged for new contracts· referred to as a 103S exchange- on a non-taxable basis. Annuities are issued by insurance companies and distributed through many types of financial institutions, including investment securities firms. The actual portfolio management is conducted by professional fund man· agers: ~ust like wi\h mutual funds.

By JIM ABRAMS AAOCIIItiKI P,... Wlllw . WASIDNOTON (AP) -The bombing of the Otlnese Fmbassy in Bel· grade that has sparked anti-American demonstrations in Beijing and other Chinese cities was the result of misinforrJiation from QA target planners, a U.S. government official says. ·· Meanwhile, Ametjcan diplomatic officials J!lld lawmakers warned that those demonstrations, which t)te Otincse government has sanctioned and at times assisted, could ~riously affect U.S.-Otina relations if they are allowed to grow out of control. Those relations took a further downturn today when China suspended high· level military contacts with the United States and postponed talks on human rights, arms control, international security and arms proliferation. Assistant Secre'ary of State Stanley Roth also canceled a planned visit to Beijing. The State Department also has issued an advisory cautioning Americans against travel in Otina. · The inteilded target in the air attack Friday was a military supply office. But due to faulty information provided by the QA and reviewed by NATO and the Pentagon, the pilots mistakenly bombed the <llinese Fmbassy several hundred yards away, the U.S. official, speaking on eondidon of anonymity, said Sun· day. . "They went through all these hoopo, but for whatever. reason it was not detected," the official said. He said the aA was reviewing its published and clandestine sources of information to determine how the mistake was made. The Washington Post today quoted a senior NATo official, not identified furlher, as saying "the tragic and embarrassing truth is that our maps simply did not show the Chinese Fmbasay anywhere in !hilt vicinity." The current embassy was opened three.or four years ago and the old one was several miles away, the newspaper said . · It was unusual for the QA to be involved in target pllutning in the air cam· paign, the U.S. official opted. More often that is the responsibility of NATO, the U.S. European Command or the Pentagon. , The Chinese said three people, all journalists, were killed and 20 wounded in the attack. · · · U.S. officials, led by President dinton, have apologized to China for the error, and Defense Secretary William Cohen and QA Dii'CC!or George Thnet .

The writing on the ban· ntr reede "Evil moneter utlng man." · acknowledged in ajoint _stalement thai the bombing resulted from faulty infor: malion. But the Qlin~ government has refused to accept this explanation, and U.S. diplomatic missions in Beijing and other Chinese cities have been besieged by tens of thou~nds of angry demonstrators, some bused in by the government. _ . · . "This demonstration is now exceeding government expectations and there Is always the danger that it is going to. go out of control," U.S. Ambassador Jim Sasser, who has been trapped inside the Beijing embassy, said in a .tete. phone interview Sunday on NBC's " Meet the Press." · " What is.happening in Beijing and throughout Otina today is intentional," Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., told CBS' "Face the Nation. " "This is, unfortunately, going to be a very serious test of our relationship, whether the Otinese exploit this terrible accident." . · Undeisecretary of State Thomas Pickering, appearing on ABC's "This Week" and CNN's "Late Edition," said the bombing could lead to a "temporary setback" in diplomatic effons to end the military connict in Yugoslavia. Otina, with a seat on the U.N. Security Council, holds a veto over any U.N. decisions about sending peao;ekeeping troops to Kosovo. ·.. •But Pickering said "it doesn 't seem to me in light of where the Otinese have been that they would veto a pe~ce senlement." Still, China's ambassador to the United States, Li Zhaoxing, refused to accep1 NATO and U.S. explanations for the attack. Anyone who tries "to whitewash the atrocity as a mistake, he's wrong," Li told ABC. NATO's supreme at.lied commander, U.S. Army Gen. Wesley Oark, al$0 on ABC, said officials had looked at the process leading to the error and " we . think it's an anomaly." He said NATO had conducted 18,000 sorties during the air campaign, with only eight to 10 instances of bombs mistakenly hilling .civilians or otherwise &oing astray. "This is truly an exceptional record," Qark said. · The chairmen of the House and Senate intelligence comminees said on "Fox News Sunday" that the embassy bombing error showed that U.S. spend· ing on intelligence has been stretched too thin. When the intelligence community is being "pushed as hard as we're being pushed right now to the point where we're even diverting assets to take care of this problem in Kosovo, mistakes are going to happen," Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla., head of the House panel, said on " Fox News Sunday." His Senate counterpart, Sen . Richard Shelby, R-Ala., agreed, saying: "We've been doing defense, which intelligence is part and parcel of, on the clieap for about 13 straight years, and now you' re seeing -the fruits of i.t. " The Qinton administration is seeking · appro~imately S29 billion for intetligence programs in the 2000 budget, an increase of about 9 percent.

SMITH GALLIPOLIS - Many people are intimidated by the term 'variable annuity,' but they needn't be. Simply stated, a variable annuity is similar to a mutual fund, except that it grows tax-deferred. The term "variable" indicates that the return varies according to the perfor· mance of the securities in the portfolio; as opposed to a 'fixed' annuity in which thert is a guaranteed rate of return.Both grow tax-deferred.

"Because of a schism in the Repuljlican Party, we were able to parlay that into support for many of our initiatives," said a gleeful Rep. Peter Lawson Jones, the ranking Democrat on the House Finance & Appropnallons Commitlee. 1,1.11 but six conservative lawmakers had voted Thursday to approve a $22 billion, two-year budget for the non -education portion of stale government The House approved an $18.2 bllhon budget for public schools and h1gher education a day earlier. "We got some things 10 th1s budget that I don't think the Republicans expected to cede to us," the Shaker H~ights Democrat added. In fact, Republicans - who control a 59-40 majority in the House shq) down only one of the top three 1tems on the Democrats' wish list: expanding health care benefits to the working poor. · 'f.lfe Democrats had more on the11 s1de than the tax debate, including a budget surplus expected to be nearly $1 billion when the fiscal year ends June 30. In addition, Repubhcan Gov. Bob Taft campaigned on a promise to make education his No. I issue' in light of the pending Ohio Supreme Court casi: challeng10g the state's school-funding system. Taft shocked many conservatives in his own party when he proposed spending all of an antiCipated budget surplus- then estimated at $415 mJIIioQ- on repairing or replacing unsafe or outdated school huildings and on school technology. The House later capped the amount of the surplus going to schools at $415 million. The remainder would be used to offset income taxes individ· uals would otherwise have to pay next year. "The governor didn't leave progressives a whole lot to cnticize," Jones acknowledged Rep. Robert Netzley, R-Laura, agreed. "This is beyond their wildest dreams," Netzley said of the budget. "If (Democrat gubernatorial candidate) Lee Fisher had proposed this budget, we wou!d be tearing the Statehouse down." Netzley, one of the handful of House members who voted aga10st both budgets approved last week, wanted to see the surplus used to cut the tax rates so that lawmakers could not raid the surplus before deciding how much would be returned to taxpayers. · But the House reJected the 5 percent income tax cut on a 58-38 vote after House Finance Chairman E.J. Thomas - with the backing of Speaker Jo Ann Davidson and Taft- argued that the Leg1slature needed the flexibility to deal w1th unforeseen events. n,omas, R-Columbus, pointed out that the state has saved taxpayers mo'i'e .than S1.3 bilhon because of budget surpluses over the past three years. Democrats threw their support behind House leaders. Last year, when lavtmakers were arguing over whether to 10crease the state sales tax to raise money for schools, Democrats sided with the conservatives and helped force the-issue to the ballot, where it was soundly rejected by voters. )ones, while conceding that Democrats are forced 1010 tactical alliances because of their minority status, d~esn't hide his long-range goal. ''I want to be cha11man of the finance comm1ttee," he said. "We'll fight the Republicans vigorously in the 2000 elections. But while we're here, the people expect us to work together." .

' • • • ,, . • P~ge 2 Monday, Mey 10, 1MI Monday, May 10, 1999 • By JICk Anderaon end Jan Moller WASHINGTON After months of disclo· sures and recriminations over China's successful attempts to steal America's nuclear secrets, one question remains unan· swcred: Where was Congress? The typical retort in Washington when a story like this breaks is to punt the blame as far as posSible. "It's the other guy's fault," we hear from the Clinton administration. The Other Guys in this case being previous administrations that cer· tainly share the blame for turning the Department of Energy's nuclear labs into a sieve for critical nuclear know-how. What we know so far is that Chma has transformed its military in two ways: First, by stealing the " legacy codes" that make it possible to electronically test nuclear warheads and improve their explosive power; second, by buying billions of dollars' worth of communications and man~facturing technology from see-no-evil U.S. companies. Members of Congress would have you believe that they were shocked -- shocked! -- to learn that security at Los Alamos and elsewhere isn't quite airtight. A flurry of recent hearings on Capitol H1ll have shed considerable and unflattering light on a security system in near-breakdown. What lawmakers haven't dwelled on is the fact that their own investigative arm •• the General Accounting Office -has been reporting on these security breakdowns for nearly two decades As early as 1980, reports were issued to Congtess that should've raised alarm. Some of the reported breakdowns included the loss of over 10,000 classified doc;uments at DOE's Lawrence Livermore facility, hundreds of security badges·with incorrect names and clearance levels, and liberal after-houi'S access to controlled areas by uncleared perscinnel in an effott to preserve what one Los Alamos official described as a "campus atmosphere." Because required paperwork was never completed, the agency rarely knew what was being discussed behind closed doors, or who it was being discussed with. In 1994, the Los Alamos and Sandia labs were even granted exemptions by the OOE from background-check requirements. As we first reported, the FBI was so disgusted with the way DOE was handling security that they left. A 1991 audit revealed that DOE regulations designed to prevent the transfer of weapons technology to foreign countries by U.S. companies performing classified work were followed just 2 . percent of the time. At a House Commerce subcommittee hearing last week, chairman Tom Bliley, R-Va., moaned that the DOE's unwillingness to address its security problems formed a "historical pattern." He failed to mention that as a member of Congress since 1980 (and Commerce Committee chair since 1995), he's m1ssed multiple opportunities to exert regulatory oversight over this critical area. In the early 1990s, two events converged to heighten the inherent tension between commerce and national security. First, a shrinking of the Pentagon's budget forced defense contractors to look overseas for sales. Second, dramatic improvements in comput10g technology created a vast overseas market for the latest American high-tech heavy truck transmissions. , Stephen Bryen, Reagan's chief of defense technology security, told the House National Security Committee that relaxed export controls allowed U.S. companies to send over 250 computers to China-- without accounting for their final destination or use. "In my opinion, (this was) an exercise in executive branch recklessness," Bryen said. "They are a clear and present danger to America's national security" Former assistant secretary of defense James Lilley warned of Olina's military efforts in May 20, •1993 testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

And that's a story you just have to feel gOO(I about Yet another act of ·ina~tion by Janet Reno nists in Beijing had "crafted a plan to increase China's influence over the U.S. political process." The way the Chinese government endeavored to do that was by secretly and illegally funneling millions of dollars into the campaign coffers of the Democratic National Committee and the Qinton-Gore campaign, by way of such Olinese front men as John Huang, a former Commerce Department and DNC official, Johnny Chung, a California businessman, and Olarlie Trie, a Little Rock friend of the 6rst family. With lawmakers on Capitol Hjll following this Cllinese money trail all the way to the White House, the very last thing Qinton or Gore could have want· · ed in July 1997 was for the FBI to uncover explosive evidence of Chinese spying at one of nation's nuclear weapons laboratory. So Reno's bosses, the president and vice presi· dent, could not have been d1spleased by her decision to effectively block the FBI's investigation of Lee. As it turns out, because of Reno's decision, not until last month did government authorities finally get around to search10g the suspected spy's computer. What they found, after reconstructing electronic files dumped from Lee's desktop in February, confirmed the FBI's suspicions of July 1997. Lee appeared to have somehow accessed the highly classified, h1ghly secure (supposedly) computer system at Los Alamos and obtamed more than 1,000 top-secret files of computercodes on the U.S. military's nuclear weapons. The top-secret files were then transferred-· mostly in 1994 and 1995, accord· ing to authorities -- to the unclassified oomputer sys- Shown T·storma R.On - Snow '"' High pressure will keep daytime highs in the 80s ... gadgetry. Enter Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. With the support of then Defense Secretary William Perry, Brow,n argued that the end of the Cold War meant that export-licensing restrictions could and should be loosened •• especially to China. By the mid 1990s, the Olinese government had acquired significant technology, much of it "dual· use" -- meaning it was sold for civilian use but could easily be converted to military purposes. GAO investigators focused most of their research on two types of purchases: supercomput· ers and advanced machine-tools. Supercomputers, capable of performing mil· lions of calculations per second, allow military planners to re-create and test a wide range of see· narios. Advanced machine-tools, considered to be the building blocks of any modern industrial base, are used to make everything from jet engines to Cloudy tern at Los Alamos. . This unauthorized transfer provided easy ~ tO practically all of the United States' nuclear secrets not only to Beijing, but also to any rogue state that simply aocessed Los Alamos' unclassified computer system. Indeed, a November 1998 secret report prepared by government counterintelligence officials (and · obtained by The New. York Times~ revealed that between October 1997 •• three months after Reno rejected the FBI's request to tap Lee's computer and June 1998, U.S. weapons labs recorded 324 attacks on their unclassified computers from outside · the country. Moreover, the repon stated, in more than a few ins~ those outsiders managed to gain "complete access and total control to create, view, modify or execute any and all information stored on the sys· tern." And it is because of this gtave national security breach, perhaps the WOflil in American history, that high-ranking officials at · U.S. intelligence agencies fear •• without exaggeration -- that secrets of this nation's entire nuclear weapons arsenal may have been compromised. Janet Reno is either corrupt or inept. Either way she is unworthy of the bigh office she; occupies. If Janet Reno were the stand-up gal she pretends to be she would have resigned many scandals ago. As · it is, she will merely go down in American history as the attorney general whose gross inaction helped a foreign spy steal most of this country's nuclear secrets.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Patrick Dink.elacker said he hoped to have a Jury seated hy Tuesday.

Both appeared in court today, eager to challenge this Oh1o R1ver city's antipornography standards. The charges stem from the alleged sale of a sexually explicit video to a 14-year-old boy at the Hustler Magazine & Gifts store that Jimmy Flynt manages If convicted, each brother could get 24 years in prison a,nd $65,000 in fines. The trial, originally set for Jan. 19, has been rescheduled tw1ce because Flynt needed surgery for a urological problem and also devel· oped pneumoma.

One then patient- By Joaeph Perklna Not since John Mitchell has an attorney general done more to bring disrepute upon that high office than Janet Reno. The latest evidence of her un6tness for the office five heartbeats away from the presiden· cy is the Justice Department's egregious mishandling of the Chinese spy scandal. In July 1997, FBI agents filed a warrant request with Justice to monitor the computer and phones of a suspected Chinese spy, Wen Ho Lee, who was working out of the nation's nuclear weapons laboratory in Los Alamos, N.M. Reno's deputies at Justice rejected the warrant request, on gtOunds, supposedly, that the FBI lacked sufficient evidence that Lee was stealing U.S. nuclear secrets for the Communists in Beijing. Never mmd that under a 1995 policy directive issued at Los Alamos, Lee and other lab personnel were advised that their computers were subject to search without notice. Discombobulated FBI officials appealed to Reno, asking that she overrule her underlirt~ But the attorney general responded with a Oat "no." What is especially troublesome about this is that, in all of 1997, Justice received more than 1,000 warrant requests. And of all those requests for wiretaps or covert computer searches, the only one that Reno's department rejected was the request to monitor the suspected Chinese mole at Los Alamos.

Clinton summoned young people, parents, religious leaders and representatives of the two industries to talk today about the root causes of violence that repeatedly erupts in the nation's schools, most recently and most deadly in littleton, Colo. The Natioral Rifle Association, uncompromising critic of gun control laws, was not invited. White House officials hope the session - which was drawing about 50· participants ranging from Amer· ica Onli~e's chief executive to poet Maya Angelou will provide the groundwork for a national campaign on reducing youth violence, much like similar campatgns to curb teen-age pregnancy and to find jobs for former welfare recipients. " We think it 's time for all sectors of society to step up to the plate and take responsibility, " .said Clinton domestic policy adviser Bruce Reed. "We're not inter· ested in pointing fingers. We want to find solutions." But gun advocates and participants from the entertainm.enl industry say they are feeling more pressure than most, because of the newly intensified debate over . the availability of weapons and whether violence among teen-agers is fomented by the images and Ianguage in movies, video games and song lyrics. Leaders of two gun-manufactunng groups - the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Ameri can Shooting Sports Council - met with Reed last week on Clinton's anti-violence plan and planned to attend today 's gathering. They left open the poss1bility of endorsing some of the administration's proposals to keep guns out of the hands of young people, although they said they wanted to see the details first. One measure would raise the age at which a person can buy a handgun from 18 to 21. Another would hold parents criminally responsible for making guns accessible to children. Reed said the White House would work with the groups to find common ground. The NRA, meanwhile, called a news conference today to unveil its own proposals to make "an imme· d1ate and significant impact" on violent crime. NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre said Clinton admmistration' officials should resist a knee· jerk urge to explore more restrictive gun laws and instead push for better enforcement of those already on the books. "They have presided over a complete and total collapse of prosecution of laws," LaPierre said Sunday on NBC's " Meet the Press." "We have mandatory sentences for felons caught with guns . We have mandata· ry sentences for people carrying guns and selling drugs in the street. We don 't enforce any of them." Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Asso· dation of America, said the film industry shouldn't be si ngled out for blame. ' He said he supports having the U.S. surgeon gener· al do an in-depth analysis of "the why of violence" to better understand all of the factors at play. " I also believe that church and home and school are the three places where children learn what is right and what is wrong, and that's where they build a strong moral shield," Valenti said. Page7 Monday, May 10, 1999 Besides Valenti, entertainment industry representa. tives expected at today's meeting were the heads of thl! Recording Industry Association of America, tilt National Association of Broadcasters, the National Cable Television Association and the Interactive Digi: tal Software Association. Conservative activist Gary Bauer, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, said the issue revolves more around the ability to teach values i~ school than on the images pre~ented to young people. He noted that the two student gunmen in Littleto~ who shot 12 classmates and a teacher to death before killing themselves "came to school giving the Nazi salute, produced a video showing them killing other s)udents" and posted an Internet "Web site drippinlt with hate," but somehow managed to evade the scruti· ny of school officials and other adults. "That's at the heart of this issue, and basically not Hollywood and not guns," Bauer said. • "Eighteen gun laws were violated that day in Li& tieton, Colorado.

Addiction museum· joins roster of popular siteS, By CARL HARTMAN MIOCIIted Prell Wrher WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans, who flock to museums by the millions, can add a unique site to their itinerary: a museum on addiction. The Drug Enforcement Admimstration has put together a public exhibit at its suburban Virginia headquarters, tracing addiction back to the Civil War and beyond. , II shows ofr"the Tommy gun and hand grenades that Narcotics Bureau agents <larned in the 1930s. From the other side of the battle is the booby trap that an ingenious marijuana farmer in Thailand · installed to protect his crop, and a trafficker's d1amond·encrusted gun. There's also a coroner's report, almost a century old, on a 19-month·old girl who died from an overdose of "soothing syrup" - apparently laced with opium. Exhibits tell how drug-tnk ing declined in the first half of the century until attention turne,d in the 1930s to the marijuana - and later; heroin - assoc1ated w1th such jazz figures as Red Rodney, Billie Holiday and Charlte Parker. The addiction museugt, in Arltngton, Va., ts the newest arrival among ~bout 8,200 American museums, according to Edward H. Able Jr., head of the American Association of Museums. There may be even more if local h1story centers and such institutions as the Museum of Bagpipe Music 1n Ellicott City, Md., and the .Cock· roach Hall of Fame in Plano, Texas, are counted. The association estimates that American museums and similar collections including zoos and aquariums clocked 865 million visits in 1997, up from about 565 million a decade ago. Some 337 million of those visits were to art museums, accordin~ to a recent survey financed by the National Endowment for the Arts. "They 're the cheapest show 10 town," said Able. The NEA counted more visits - 376 million - to historic parks than to art museums, but parks are gener· ally free. Plays, operas, and dance programs taken boom.

NEW YORK (AP) - A sctenttsl working on a classified Pentagon proJeCt for trackmg submarines passed advan.ced. radar technology secrets to Chma m 1997, The New York Times reported today. The information about the raoar technology, including a program in the works for two decades, was presented to Chinese nuclear-weapons experts during a May 1997 lecture in Beijing by Taiwanese-American scienlist Peter Lee, the newspaper said, citing court records. At the time, Lee was working fot TRW Inc., which was dping work for the Pentagon. Technology to detect and track submarines is closely guarded by the Pentagon because the Navy's ability to hide its submarines is a crucial miiitary advantage.

(AP) - Like her young "D1ff'rent Strokes" co-stars, Dana Plato had seen her share of troubles since the show was can· celed. They finally ended not With the happiness she sought, but with the fatal drug overdo~e she feared . Ms. Plato, 34, died Saturday after apparently taking the painkiller Lori tab along with Valium while xistting the home ·of her fiance's parents . She played J!;imberly Drummond on the NBC sitcom that ran from 1978 to 1984. Like co-stars Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman, she couldn't sustain the stardom the show brought her. Legal problems ,began in 199 1;" when she was arrested for robbing a Las Vegas video store and was placed on five years' probation. In 1992 she was gtven another five years' probation for forging pre· ~cripttons for Valium. " If I hadn't gotten caught, it could have been the worst thing that happened to me bj!cause 1 could have died of a drug overdose," she satd then . Police Sgt. Scott Singer said Sunday that Ms. Plato's death "appears "y Alden Weill, Praaldent Melga County 1:1um1ne Society One of the more altruistic things that humans do (although I . lament that too often we humans behave as if we were completely devOid of altrui!m) is to reach out to someone who has lost a loved one. This reaching out is often motivat~d by ashared grieving for the one who died, or, as is often the case when the deceased is not known, simply the result of strong identification with the loss another person has experienced. People traditionally reach out by sending flowers to the grieving family. My apologies to florists, but this has always struck me as a somewhat wasted gesture. I prefer flowers for cheenng the bedridden and work-beleagured - for, well , occasions which celebrate somethmg or have a direct impact on someone who is there to see them . Rowers are not, any more than are funerab, for the person who died . I would hope that the deceased knew she or he was appreciated well before death. Aow~rs are for a completely different pur· pose. It may be simply that flowers made 11 possible for people to talk for a while about sOmething other than death. Then, too, for some unfortunate people, the stze of the arrangement ~nd the esti· ~at"'! cost of the flowers is a time-honored way of measuring the gtver s commttrnent and concern. You know that such peopl~ exist. . Apparently, I am not alone in this curmudgeonly stance, for I notice , m¢re and more, that people are presenting alternatives for remembering someone who has died. Now, the phrase, " m lieu of flowers" is followed by specific alternatives, suggesting that people make donations io the American Cancer Society, for example. By doing this, the family members are stating that they want tokens' of remembrance for their loved one to, work for someth'iRg • • positive for the living. I am suggesting that ~ople give some · thought to those who have no voice- the animals in our county. Thts could take several forms, in addition to the obvious one of making a donation to a humane soctety, like ·ours, m the name of someone who has died. Irnagine creating a small scholarship for a 4-H member, in memory of the fanner who doted on hts cows. What a difference this could make to a far from well-off kid . Contact an animal welfare group and get mfonnatton on how to rescue foals about the be slaughtered, how to sponsor a rescued burrow, or sponsor the annual Be Kind to Animals Week m the school system. Anot~er idea would be to contact the local veterinarian and ask how much it would spay a dog and pay for her vaccmations for a . year, then make a donation to the vet for that purpose. In their travels, our county vets come into contact with people who care for their animals but would care for them a lot better with a little financ1al help. I have seen some wonderfully generous gestures, all generated after the death of a loved one. At one humane society-run shelter in Washington, D.C., there was a room in the shelter c1111ed the "Get Acquamted Room," which was spectfically built to enable prospective owners and dogs to meet ;md get to know each other well away from the noise and distractions of the cages. Ml!king a donation in the name of one's father, a great lover of dogs, or one's friend, who had a passion for cats, can bring solac,e and comfon. There is no end to the possibilittes when you start to thmk of what to add at the end of "in lieu of flowers ." Even if the phrasing of the funeral notice is traditional, and there is no mention of alternatives, I am willing to bet that the family will appreciate your lov. ing gesture in memory of someone. In any event, the end product, unlike the dreariness of dried, wilted blooms, is far more productive and ultimately more positive. Save those flowers for patching up an argument with your mate, . brightening a co-worker's day, or telling your grandmother you are • thinking of her. ' 1 a - I (.

Middleport Literay Club hears JoAnn Wildman review Ann Minatra, a new author who has written five books in the last few years. The action of this story is set in Germany during the Nazi regime and the post-war period of 1933 to 1948. It is based on real happenings and people of this time in history. the reviewer reponed. She described the main' characters are two couples, originally li v· ing in Munich, Germany, who fight to remain alive in the turbulent tide of Nazi ·control and who m'ust struggle to keep their beliefs in God 's grace. The Picards are Lutheran, the father of the family being recently graduated as a Lutheran manister; the Goldsteins are Jewish, but the two families have always lived as neighbors in harmony and as part· ners in a music store business. Of course the Nazi takeover changes everything for both fami lies. The book tells of the arrests of the Jewish people and of the trials undergone by the others who risk everything or their. faith. .Another coup le, a recently arrived American girl, Emile, who has man·ied a German industrialist, Max Farber, entered the story with their difficulties as Max is imprisoned and accused of giving info~a- lion to Germany's enem1es. They also undergo many ordeals at the hands of the Nazis before the war is over. Diehl noted that the novel is writ· ten in three parts with an epilogue telling what happened to each character. A few survived the terrible period to tell their stories of hardship and loss. Fourteen members and the guests responded to roll call with information about Germany learned through reading or trips that they had taken there.
