Mrs. Futral said retail florists would
purchase the tuberoses to use in
weddings, churches and other
arrangements.
Mr. Futral operates a small store and
the culls of the crop were taken to the
store and each customer was given a
bundle to take home with them. Mrs.
Futral also gave many of her flowers to
the nursing homes.
“One has to love flowers to be in this
business. It takes a lot of hard work,”
she said.
Mrs. Futral will be selling part of her
business, but plans to keep some of the
tuberoses. “I just can’t completely give
them up after working with them for 30
years,” she said.
The wholesellers would like to see
Mrs. Futral stay in the business. Her

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - A
secretary at Calvin College recently
found 10 Leghorn chickens stored in a
trash receptacle.
Eight young men confessed they were
going to release them in a women’s
dormitory. The men said they wanted
revenge after finding molasses on their
doorknobs, baby powder on the carpets
and halls strewn with women’s un
dergarments.
The chickens were turned over to the
Humane Society.
IOWA CITY, lowa (AP) - The 10,000
fans at a Doobie Brothers concert got a
bit more excitement than they antici

fire.
The Thursday night concert at the
University of lowa Fieldhouse featured
a fireworks display. But when the
sparklers went out, the curtains went
up — in smoke.
There were no injuries, and fire
extinguishers were used to douse the
flames.

On the light side

Mrs. Futral has another hobby that
has taken much of her time in recent
years. She hand paints china.
She has hand-painted complete sets.
Most of the pieces she has painted are
plates or pitchers. “I love to do the
pitchers,” she said.
One of the plates, in which she takes
the most pride, took her more than 9
months to paint. She works on the
painting about two hours each week.
Continuing with her love for flowers, -
most of the designs Mrs. Futral paints
on the china are either flowers or fruit.
Mrs. Futral, who does not mind
admitting she will be 77 in December,
says she is getting too old to work so
hard, but she is still enjoying life and is
looking forward to this year’s crop of
tuberoses.
“I hope the Good Lord lets me live to
be 99 and be able to grow tuberoses,”
she said.
superintendent resigned, then thought
better of it and stayed on the job.
A state Human Rights Division of
ficial said there was probable cause
that Mrs. Munz had been discriminated
against because she was a woman.
So, the town board, while refusing to
admit it was wrong, agreed to offer her,
the old job and pay her back wages.'
The board’s decision means Mrs.
Munz now joins the rest of the town’s
road crew in being officially laid off.
The highway department has
exhausted its budget, officials say.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Norman
Kopp ran into procedural red tape when
he tried to renounce his citizenship to
demonstrate his anger with women’s
liberation and Family Court treatment
of men.
The 52-year-old divorced father of
four said Thursday he was told at
Federal Court that he had to renounce
his citizenship in the presence of an
American in a foreign country.
But before he makes a trip to Canada,
Kopp says he wants to make sure the
action will not jeopardize his job as a
truck driver.
Kopp, founder of a local men’s rights
group, denied he was seeking publicity
and said he would go through with his
plan.
Kopp said he hoped more American
men would renounce their citizenship to
protest what he called discrimination
against men.
Big head
for money
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)
— Former trash collector Ray
Valine decided recently to use
his head, and now says he’s
making SIOO a day in advertis
ing revenues.
On one recent day he was ad
vertising a downtown bar on the
left side of his scalp, a steel
company above his right ear,
and a restaurant on the back of
his head.
He said the idea came to him
when he was shaving his dark,
curly locks so he could paint his
head like an Easter egg “and be
Captain Easter Egg for a gas
station.”
His wife, Diana, does the
painting. Valine promenades
slowly through crowds around
the Capitol and downtown
malls.
Valine, 30, said he needs the
money because his wife is preg
nant.

Restaurant
boycotts coffee
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) -
You can’t buy a cup of coffee in
Bob Bordenaro’s restaurant —
not even for SIOO.
Irked by skyrocketing prices,
Bordenaro said he wouldn’t pay
50 cents for a cup of coffee and
he wouldn’t ask anyone else to
do it, either.
The “Sorry, No Coffee” sign
went on the door Monday night,
and Bordenaro declared that
“you couldn’t buy a cup of cof
fee in my restaurant for $100.”
On Wednesday a man walked
into his Ristorante D’ltalia and
ordered coffee. When Borde
naro replied that he didn’t serve
coffee anymore, the stranger
took out a SIOO bill and put it on
the counter. He didn’t care how
much it cost, he wanted coffee,
the customer said.
Still, Bordenaro said no. The
man had a beer instead and left.
the crime was completed.)
The case against an alleged
accomplice of the above 16-
year-old was dropped.
A 15-year-old girl who stole
cosmetics with the 2 others was
placed on probation because it
was her first offense.
A boy, 14, was placed on
probation for stealing articles
from a car and outbuilding.
A boy, 16, accused of
burglarizing a house, was
released and the charges
dropped because of lack of
evidence.
A boy, 15, who was driving an
auto involved in a wreck, was
placed on probation for a
number of traffic offenses and
was ordered not to drive for the
next 6 months.
A 14-year-old boy who was
charged with violating the
county’s litter law, was ordered
to attend “The Break”. He will
continue on probation.
The cases of 2 boys, 14 and 15-
years old will be heard in May
because witnesses failed to
appear.
A 12-year-old boy who already
was on probation and had been
skipping school was sternly
warned by Judge Goza and
placed under continued
probation.
A girl, 14, who also had
violated her probation by
skipping school, was sternly
warned and will continue her
probation.
Cases of 6 other students who
played hooky and violated the
compulsory school attendance
law were heard.
They include 3 boys and 3
girls, 13 and 14-years old. They
each had missed from 40 to 63
days of school this year.
Five were placed on
probation. An investigation will
continue on the sixth child at the
request of his father.
Two cases of deprivation,
involving 4 children, were
heard. Two were placed in the
temporary custody of relatives
and 2 were placed in the
temporary custody of the
Department of Family and
Children Services.
