— food, clothing and medical sup-
plies — at about the same rate the
rebels now receive.
House Speaker Jim Wright, D-
Texas, on Monday promised that
such a bill would be brought up, but
he declined to say specifically what
would be in it. He said only that the
money would be consistent with a
five-nation Central American peace
accord. ’ ' l
Action on such an alternative
likely would keep the debate raging
on questions such as whether the
Contras are to be maintained in the
field as a fighting force, or whether
the aid is to be more in the nature of
relocation and refugee assistance.
Tied to that question is the issue of
whether the Central Intelligence
Agency would continue to make
airdrops of supplies, helping to con-
ceal their positions from the Sand-
inistas, or whether the Contras
would go to designated cease-fire
areas and receive their supplies
from a neutral international group
such as the Red Cross.
And any such proposal would be
subject to a wide range of amend-
ments, including likely attempts to
attach military aid, which could
re-open the entire debate.
Reagan’s aid package includes
some $32.6 million in what the ad-
ministration calls "non-lethal"’ aid,
a term that encompasses every-
thing from food and medicine to
jeeps and aircraft.

DALLAS — Three Dallas busi-
nessmen plan to launch a commuter
airline service for smokers on the
day the federal government begins
a smoking ban on flights of less than
two hours.
The men will form a charter air
service at Dallas Love Field on
April 22 called The Great American
Smoker’s Club, avoiding the
government’s smoking ban by
charging a membership fee.

Mr. Walters died Monday in
Gainesville Memorial Hospital.
He was born June 19, 1893, in Ir-
vine, Penn., son of the late Henry
and Bertha Whiterhold Walters. He
was employed as an agent for Pen-
nsylvania Railroad. He was a 32nd
Degree Mason and a member of the

ceded in death by his wife, Ruth
Walters, in 1975.

smokers a choice to continue their
right to smoke,” said Herndon, a
smoker himself. “To fly on a plane
nowadays, smokers are treated like
second-class citizens and must sit
on the back rows. When the smoking
ban begins, we want to offer
smokers an alternative — and,
hopefully, make some money. ”
Herndon said the club’s goal is to
serve 63 cities from five hubs with 60
planes within two years.
Danny Cuozzo, club vice presi-
dent, predicts problems for comm-
ercial airlines after the ban takes
effect.
“When the smoking law goes into
effect, there are going to be a lot of
people going into the johns to
smoke,” even though it is danger-
ous and illegal, Cuozzo said. “More
people will probably die from heart
attacks because they can’t have a
cigarette than they will from smok-
ing.”
Cuozzo said non-smokers will be
allowed aboard, but they will have
to be tolerant.

Cooke County ambulances de-
parted the scenes of both accidents,
other accidents had occurred along
the same section of highway.
No serious injuries were reported
from any of this morning’s ac-
cidents. By 10 a.m. Cooke County
ambulances had transported at
least six injured motorists to area
hospitals.
George Rosson, maintenance and
construction supervisor for the
highway department in Cooke
County, said department trucks
quickly sanded area overpasses.
The accident parade was over by
late morning.
A cold front that moved through

FRED MADDUX
Funeral services for Fred Mad-

this morning in a Denton Hospital,
will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. at
the Vernie Keel Funeral Chapel.
Burial will be in Rest Haven Mem-

Mr. Maddux was born on Dec. 27,

Mike and Bertie Hackworth Mad-

Aug. 31,1946 in Gainesville. He had
“Nobody will be able to replace him. He was one of
my favorite teachers, and I’ll really miss him a lot,”
said Sandra Guiterrez, 12, a seventh-grader.
Principal John Manison said that although Todd was
a veteran teacher, he only had 55 students because he
was recovering from a stroke last August and had
returned to school only Jan. 20.
“Some students are upset and the counselors are
working with them, but we sent five teachers home,”
Manison said Monday.
Assistant Principal Ed Rigsby, in a loud-speaker
address at the start of classes Monday, told the school’s

875 sixth, seventh- and eighth-graders that Todd would
want them to remain strong.
A moment of silence then was observed and the
school’s U.S. flag was lowered to half staff.
Police say there is no evidence the deaths of Perry
and Todd are related.
Todd’s car, which had been stolen from outside his
home, was found abandoned about 5 a.m. Monday
about six miles from the death scene, said sheriff’s
department Capt. C.W. Rust.
Rust said he had not confirmed a report that a neigh-
bor saw three men running from Todd’s house Sunday
evening.

as a local student in the late
Voncile Liddell’s Spanish class.
You probably think I’ve
never found use for the things
she taught me in that Gaines-
ville High School classroom.
Well, you’re mostly correct in
that observation, but there was
one small moment in my life-
time when my hours in Miss
Liddell’s class all seemed
worthwhile.
It happened during the dead
of winter in Korea when new
replacements arrived at my
unit on the frozen front lines.
Those new guys were scared
and cold, and there was one tiny
feller who was wrapped in
every gar met he owned. Not
even his face was visible.
I SOON learned that he was a
Cuban who spoke very little
English and when I finally
pried his face from behind his
muffler, I could actually see the
fear in his dark eyes.
It was then that my Spanish
teachings came to the fore-
front. I greeted him in a poor
facsimilie of his own language.
Despite the quality of my
work, the Cuban responded.
His eyes brightened, a smile
crossed his face and he all but
hugged my neck.
That simple effort on my part
seemed to erase his fears and
get him “over the hump” on his
first day in the war zone. He
was okay after that and I
silently thanked Voncile Lid-
dell for that rare moment.
BENNIE NELSON recently
elected to retire, following sev-
eral years of work as a member
of the staff at First State Bank
in Gainesville.
But, even though Nelson is no
longer a bank employee, he’s
not one who enjoys being idle.
Far from it. Bennie and his
wife, Dorothy, love to travel —
particularly to Las Vegas.
“Some folks like to soak up
sun on some beach, but Dorothy
and I prefer the bright lights of
Las Vegas, ” Nelson disclosed.
That love for the Nevada
playland sent the Nelsons on
three recent trips to Las Vegas.
One was in the company of their
daughter Beverly and her hus-
band, Jerry Woodlock.
“They helped indoctrinate us
on what we should see and do in
Las Vegas,” Nelson said.
“Since then, we’ve made two
trips on our own.”
’ As it turns out, Bennie’s love
for travel indirectly led him
into a new profession. He was
recently hired by Joyce Wool-
folk to perform the duties of a
contact agent for Gainesville’s
The Travel Shop.
“I’m enjoying my new job a
lot,” Bennie said. “And, by the
way, Dorothy and41 are plan-
ning still another trip to Las
Vegas during the latter part of
March.”

*LEGAL ASSISTANTS are specially trained paraprofessionals who are qualified to
assist attorneys in such critically important areas as (for example) interviewing clients,
doing legal research, managing real estate closings, drafting and filing of certain routine
legal documents, helping prepare cases for trial and so on. (The job requires much more
specialized training and should not be confused with that of Legal Secretary.) Among
courses in the training curriculum are Legal Terminology, Insurance and Real Estate
Law, Criminal Law, Torts and a wide range of general business and management
courses.
