Last-minute gift ideas
for budget-minded shoppers, or go-for-broke givers
By ANDREA SELLERS
Staff Writer
Every year, last minute Christmas shoppers crowd the stores
searching for the perfect gift for that person on their list. But
perfect gifts can be hard to find.
Here are some ideas on last minute gifts for the "money-is
no-object" people and some thoughtful, inexpensive gifts for
those on a budget.
For those with all the money and no time, Mark Powell
Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge is offering the ultimate in luxury:
a $28,000 mahogany colored Chrysler Imperial.
Not for those who have to ask about monthly payments,
this car boasts real leather interior and real wood trim. Other
features include a seat memory that can be programmed to
remember the two or three drivers and their seat positions.
It features climate control, airbags, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes
and leg room for the Harlem Globetrotters.
One of the best features of the car is the 5 year/50,000 mile
warranty. The owner of this luxury vehicle won't have to add
windshield wiper fluid under the Crystal Key program,
Chrysler will do it all.
If cars are a man's dream, then diamonds are definitely a
girl's best friend.
In every jewelry store in town is a dazzling display of the
gems. Perry Pawn Shop is selling a 2 carat tennis bracelet for
S7OO.
Catch it while it's on sale, it's regularly close to an even
thousand.
If bracelets are her style, then the gentlemen at Perry Pawn
have a selection of diamond cocktail rings and gold chains and
bracelets as well.
If she likes some color, they also carry a variety of of other
gems like rubies and blue topaz.
For the majority of the population, however, diamonds and
luxury cars are a dream. Even harder is finding a meaningful
gift for $lO.
Santa's Elves have again scoured Perry and discovered a trove
of delightful gifts for the budget minded.

Houston County Adult education
Changes are coming to program
By ALAN WILLIS
Staff Writer
Changes are coming to the
Houston County adult education
programs.
Joyce Compton is retiring as the
coordinator of adult education, and
Delores Weiss will be taking her
place.
In addition, according to Toby
Hill of the Houston County Board
of Education, the night classes that
had been being held at the Perry
Annex will be discontinued.
"The evening classes were not
well attended," said Hill, noting
that only two or three students were
coming to those classes.
However, "the day classes are
well attended." Hill pointed out that
the day classes in Perry are
"probably the strongest classes" in
Houston County adult education.
In addition, a literacy and GED
preparation class will begin at the
Houston County Correctional
Institute.
Hill pointed out that adult
education utilizes a "combination"
of teachers employed by the county
and volunteer teachers. Anyone
interested in volunteering should
contact Hill at the Board.
"We're eager to set up classes,"
said Hill. All that are needed are a
sponsoring organization, a teacher,
and students.
