Business
to provide
ribbons
A red ribbon can be the most effec-
tive weapon in American's war
against the use of illegal drugs and
the illegal use of legal drugs.
Sponsored by the National Fed-
eration of Parents, the Red Ribbon
campaign is a project that links via
red ribbons millions of Americans
who are convinced that the war on
drugs is winnable. It is a grassroots
effort which is helping to change
attitudes about drugs.
The Red Ribbon Campaign origi-
nated when Federal Agent Enrique
Camarería was murdered by drug
traffickers in 1985. The Red Ribbon
became the national symbol to re-
duce the demand for drugs, just as
the yellow ribbon symbolized the
hostages in Iran and the POWs in
North Vietnam.
During Red Ribbon Week, Oct.
21-28, communities will participate
inactivities designed to promote a
drug-free America. By wearing a
red ribbon, individuals can create
positive peer pressure about drug
free choices. It íb the rallying point
for millions of children and adults
who share the commitment to live
healthy lives unhampered by sub-
stance abuse.
As a drug-free company, McCoy's
Building Supply Centers are proud
to be a part of the Red Ribbon
Campaign. Beginning Oct 22 while
quantities last, area McCoy's will
distribute free imprinted red rib-
bons and encourage customers to
join the nation in promoting a drug-
free America.

, rental of equipment, urinalysis and
other laboratory testing/in-house

Award of funding for fiscal years
1992,1993,1994 will be renewed for
the same amount based on submis-
sion of a continuation application
and the availability of funds.
The DARE program in Cherokee
County wasinitiated last year. Fifth
graders in New Summerfield, Rusk,
Alto and Wells were provided with
the program for one day a week for
each school during the spring se-
rwater. .T;icksonv'11«? fifth graders
are provided with the program for
the fall semester. In the spring the
program will be moved to New
Summerfield, Rusk, Alto and Wells
again. Deputy Haddock is instruc-
tor of the program.
The program is a substance abuse
prevention education program de-
signed to equip elementary school
children with skills for resisting peer
pressure to experiment with tobacco,
drugs and alcohol. This unique pro-
gram, which was developed in 1983
as a cooperative effort by the Los
AngelB Police Department and the
Los Angeles Unified School District,
uses uniformed law enforcement
officers to teach a formal curricu-
lum to students in a classroom set-
ting. Project DARE gives special at-
tention to 5th and 6th graders for
entry into junior high and high
school, where they are most likely to
encounter pressures to use drugs.
Merchants collect the state and
local sales taxes and pend them to
the Comptroller's office with their
tax returns. The state keeps ita 6¿
percent and each month sends i
ies and counties their portion of (I
sales tax.
All local sales taxes must be ap-
proved by local voters and can be
used for any legal city or county
expense. Most areas put the regular
percent city sales in their General
Fund and use it for operations like
firefighting,mai ntai ning roads a ml
law enforcement. Cities use addi-
tional 1/2 percent city sales taxes to
help fund local economic develop-
ment and to reduce property taxes.
