(UPI) Lost his pants too HUNTINGTON WOODS, Mich. (UPI) — James Lanni lost more than the election earlier this month. In his $2,263 campaign expense account filed Friday, the 29-year-old Republican said he also lost his pants —to a dog — during door-to-door cam paigning last month. His expenses, he said, includ ed $18.50 for a new pair of pants and $2.48 for bandages and antiseptics to care for the dog bites. “I guess that dog was a Democrat,” Lanni said. Satellites go off tonight CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) — An Intelsat communi cations satellite was poised to lead off a two-night space launch spectacular at this moonport tonight. An Atlas Centaur rocket carrying the Intelsat IV is scheduled for firing at 6:44 p.m. (EST). Skynet 11, a British military communications satelite, is set for launch aboard a Delta rocket at 7:38 p.m. Friday. Space scientists plan to “park” the Intelsat IV 22,300 miles above the Pacific Ocean in a stationary orbit by firing a motor board the space craft Saturday night. It will be the sixth in a series of advanced commercial communicatons sa tellites providing a global space network for the International Telecommunications Satellite consortium. The Intelsat IV mission will cost about $33 million—s2o million for the Atlas Centaur rocket plus the launch costs. Porno man begins sentence JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI) — Convicted Atlanta porogra phy dealer Michael G. Thevis will begin serving his six-month prison sentence Dec. 2 at the federal correctional facility in Lexington, Ky. Thevis has been fighting the sentence for four years, but U.S. District Judge Gerald B. Tjoflat Wednesday denied a motion to put him on probation instead. Thevis is partially paralyzed from a motorcycle accident and the defense said jail confine ment would be a hardship on him and a waste of taxpayers money. Thevis was convicted in 1970 of transporting 234 obscene maga zines across state lines and was accused by the prosecution of being the top pornography dealer in the Southeast letter fromli ■ SADIA! i ■ Personalized and decorated from • J Santa!

The tornado touched down in several places, but most of the damage seem to be centered in the Woodbury area. (UPI) The launch of Skynet 11, however, provided more in terest because it represents a last chance mission in the project to give the British military its own, private space switchboard over the Indian Ocean for military com munications. The British have sunk SSO million into the Skynet pro gram, including about $10.5 million to be paid the United states for Friday night’s rocket and launch. Two previous attempts to put a Skynet satellite into orbit have failed in the past four years. “If this one fails, I’m sure the government would be more reluctant to fund a defense COSTLY DISCOVERY BRISTOL, England (UPI) - No one knew there was an electric meter hidden in a back room at Ashton Gate, the stadium used by England Second Division soccer club Bristol City. But the meter was there and it was ticking away and when Electricity Board officials dis covered it by chance recently they realized no one had read it for more than 10 years. The result? A 5,000-pound ($12,000) electricity bill for Bristol City’s fan club. “They used the electricity, didn’t they?” said a board official. | fek LEWIS HORTON’S O J|t Capri Restaurant North Ex P resswa y at LaPrade Road SERVES THE REST SEAFOODS - STEAKS - CHICKEN - CHOPS LUNCH «M) DINNER °» c " "“"J SERVED 6 A.M. • 10 P.M. nnwn ctvi r Plan fl Party Or Cl,,b Me€ting fl ‘ Capri - Reserve Our Dining Room satellite than it was in the past,” said air Commodore Frank Padfield.
