Tropical storm Isidore continued moving toward the

flash flood warnings in South Texas and some northern
states got an early taste of winter.
Isidore, which never packed the punch forecasters
thought it would, continued moving northeasterly
away from land, and the National Hurricane Center in
Coral Gables, Fla., said the Atlantic could sap the
storm further.
Gale warnings were in effect from Little River Inlet,
S.C., to Oregon Inlet, N.C., and a flood watch was
issued for southeastern North Carolina, the National
Weather Service said.

Dennis Anderson quit job as accountant to go back to the farm
Young Farmers keep love
for the land alive and well
By Chuck Thompson
The Sunday Naan
With all the bad news and
pessimism surrounding agriculture
these days, it sewns there would be
few young fanners willing to pick up
where their forefathers left off.
But, that’s not necessarily the case,
even in a rapidly-growing county like
Forsyth, which lies in the path of the
burgeoning metro Atlanta area.
Here, the Young Farmers club is 35
members strong, according to its
president, Dennis Anderson.
The club was founded in 1970, and a
Forsyth County chapter was
organized five years later.
Anderson says the club died out, but
was reorganized two years ago.
Meetings are held each month on the
second Thursday at Western Steer
Restaurant beginning at 7:80 pm.
The club picks up where the Future
Farmers of America for junior
high and high school students
leaves off, and gives young fanners
an opportunity to keep pace with
what’s happening in the world of
agriculture.
Speakers, including
representatives from the University
of Georgia and seed companies, are
scheduled for the club's monthly
meetings.
Anderson says it’s interesting to see
the research done by feed companies
Penthouse offers $1 million to Liz
Penthouse magazine, which
published nude photos of former Miss
America Vanessa Williams, offered
Elizabeth Taylor (1 million to pose
naked but the movie queen said no,
her spokeswoman said Saturday.
Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione
made the offer through Taylor's
representative, Chen Sam, but the
raven-haired, violet-eyed actress
firmly refused the offer.
Explanations of how the deal was
proposed and how it fell through
apparently differed widely.
Taylor said the original offer was
for her to be photographed clothed
during the photo session.
She said die was told that Guccione
wanted to give a new look to his
monthly magazine, which features
nude photos and articles.
Under the offer she was to wear chic
new clothing designed by Nolan
Miller, Sam said.
“They were to have been very
romantic and I was to receive $1
million, ’’ Taylor said in an interview
with the New York Daily News.
But when Taylor met personally
with Guccione he changed the offer,
insisting that she appear semi-nude,
Sam said.
“I was shocked. I quickly ended the
conversation, said that it was nice
meeting him and showed him the
door. That was it,” Taylor told the
News.
“I am not considering posing in the
nude, or even semi-nude. I suspect
Guccione never ever intended to
change the format of his magazine.”
she said.
Guccione said he had offered the
actress $1 million to pose nude, but
that she said she would only pose
semi-nude.
“She would only pose almost nude,”
Gucdooe said through a spokesman.
‘Tor that, I then toki her that I would
pay her almost a million.”
The spokesman said Taylor “kind of
put a damper” on the offer to pose
semi-nude.
Medalist marries
Joan Benoit, the diminutive runner
who two months ago won the first-
Forsyth CountyNevvs
trying to develop better products.
Another speaker heard by the club
was Bobby Wilcox, who’s taken over
as director of the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Service (ASCS) hi Forsyth County.
While money from the ASCS is
available, Anderson says it is not
utilized here as it was five to 10 years
ago.
In addition, he says, there are very
few full-time fanners left in Forsyth
County.
Most of the Young Farmers, he
adds, are involved in farming on a
part-time basis.
Anderson works on a farm in south
Forsyth County, where be and his
father raise chickens, hogs and com.
And, even though Forsyth County is
becoming more urban, his desire is to
remain in farming.
For Mm, being close to the land
means more than working in an office
and fighting traffic on weekdays.
After graduating from North
Georgia College in, 1977 with a degree
in accounting, Anderson went to work
in Atlanta.
He labored in an office with no
windows and fought traffic on
crowded city streets, which he didn’t
mind in the winter.
But, when spring came, he wanted
to be outside, and, after taking
enough, he returned to the farm life

In a private ceremony attended by

Mary’s Catholic church. She met her

Bowdoin College in Brunswick.
Mr. T sued
Two Chicago men who claim they
started Mr. T on the road to fame
have filed a $4 million lawsuit against
Hie celebrity, claiming he promised to
make than Ms agents for life and pay
them 20 percent of Ms earnings.
Calvin Hollins and John Bitoy, both
of Oak Park, claim they got the star of
TV’s “A Team” formerly
Lawrence Tero a job as a
discotheque bouncer, arranged Ms
entry in a “World’s Toughest Bouncer
Contest" and made it possible for Mm
to get a screen test for Ms role in
“Rocky m,” said their attorney,
Jeffrey M. Goldberg.
he grew up on.
Anderson says he’s been criticized
for giving up his job as an accountant,
but is happier now because he’s doing
what he wants to do.
Today, he manages 45,000 chickens
and 25 hogs and hopes to start grading
few a fourth chicken house next
month.
Despite changes which threaten the
future of agriculture, Anderson says
people still have to eat a fact which
will never change.
The question is, '‘Who’ll be doing
the farming in the future?" There is
fear among some farmers that large
corporations will take over
agriculture.
Already, Anderson says, “small
farmers like us don’t have a say-so.”
Young Farmers, however, continue
to keep the family farm concept alive,
and the club is stronger in Georgia
than anywhere else.
Texas, the largest state in the
continental U.S., has the second
largest number of Young Fanners.
Perhaps this strong membership
will keep farming strong in Georgia.
Young people are the building
blocks of the future, and with enough
determination and better prices for
what they produce, the Young
Fanners can preserve the lifestyle
enjoyed by their families for
generations.

His press secretary, Billy Joe Camp,
said Wallace had “a fairly restful
night”
Wallace was “feeling rough” when
Ms temperature went up to 102

approval to send Mm to
Birmingham’s University Boqiital, 90
