IBM awarded W. German contract

c. 1981 N.Y. Times News Service BONN The International Business Machines Corp. has won a hotly contested battle for a communications contract from the West German government, it was announced.

Videotex is an electronic communications system being developed now in several countries that uses telephone lines to transmit information from central

Cooler winter expected in Midwest

WASHINGTON (AP) - Cooler in the East, warmer in the West. In general terms, that’s the winter forecast from the National Weather Service. Without being too specific, the weather service is advising Americans living east of the Mississippi to expect temperatures two to three degrees below normal in January, February and March. West of the Rocky Mountains, winter temperatures should be warmer than normal, it said. The weather service put the probability of those temperature patterns at about 65 percent. “A cold winter is expected for all of the Northeast, the South and the Midwest,” said Donald L. Gilman, chief of the weather service’s prediction branch. “As with many winters, we expect to go through some changes in the beginning before we settle into a pattern,” he said. But he added that the developing pattern “is one that allows a fairly harsh winter,

but we couldn’t pinpoint where or when.” Among the other predictions, which Gilman said have a two-thirds likelihood of accuracy: —Warmer than normal conditions “should extend somewhat eastward beyond the Rocky Mountains into the central High Plains, reaching western Kansas, and into part of the northern Plains.” —Stormy and wetter than normal weather is expected for the southeastern rim of the country from the Texas coast through Florida to Cape Hatteras, N.C. Similar weather also is expected from central Pennsylvania northeastward to Maine. —Pacific storms should bring extra precipitation to Northern California and the Northwest. —Relatively dry weather is expected to prevail in much of the central part of the country, eastward from Arizona and Utah

West Germany now operates two Videotex pilot programs, in Dusseldorf and in West Berlin, and a decision was recently reached to introduce the system nationwide in 1983. Some analysts expect Videotex to be an extremely large market for computer and telecommunications equipment, once the system is introduced on a wide base in Europe.

through the central Great Plains and into the Mississippi Valley and western Great Lakes. Gilman said forecasters were unable to immediately predict temperatures for an area northward from Texas and Oklahoma through the center of the Missouri Valley to North Dakota. He also said that a zone extending from Southern California through the Great Basin and northern Rocky Mountains into the northern Great Plains also remains unpredictable as do the Ohio Valley and the mid-Atlantic states. Gilman said conditions east of the Mississippi will be influenced by cold air coming across Canada from the Arctic Basin and Greenland. He said there is nothing in the long-range outlook to indicate “obvious” hardships for farmers in the Midwest and central portions of the country.

Public comment sought on soil, water program

The Secretary of Agriculture announces the opportunity for people to comment on the U S. Department of Agriculture’s proposed soil and water conservation program. The program features expanded roles for local and state governments and the targeting of USDA dollars and personnel to conserving critical resource problem areas. PEOPLE WHO are interested in the proposed program, or potentially affected by it, are invited to comment. Responses will be accepted through Jan. 15, 1982, and can be mailed to State Conservationist, Soil Conservation Service (SCS), 5610 Crawfordsville Road, Suite 2200, Indianapolis 46224. The proposed program would concentrate more USDA assistance in areas where soil erosion and other problems threaten to reduce agricultural productive capacity and to increase agricultural production costs, according to Putnam County’s George Murphey, District Conservationist, SCS. Basic USDA technical and financial assistance would continue in all areas. The program would use local and state conservation coordinating boards to identify critical problem areas, set

Bookmobile adds two new stops The Bookmobile has recently added two new stops to an already busy schedule in a continuing effort to meet growing community needs and interests. AT THE REQUEST OF Doris Keller, activities director, the Heritage House Convalescent Home has begun receiving Bookmobile service. This service includes bringing books specifically requested by individual residents as well as books of general interest. The other new stop is at the office of the Castlebury Apartments, at the request of the management. It is hoped that residents of the apartments and other community members will take advantage of the time the Bookmoblie is at Castlebury to come in and browse. While the Bookmobile tries to carry a wide variety of books and magazines of interest to both children and adults, the librarian is also happy to fill requests. THE BOOKMOBILE schedule is listed in the BannerGraphic once a week and individual schedules are available at the library and on the Bookmobile.

priorities, and develop a program for local and state action to solve the problems. These boards would be based on existing organizations-soil aqd water conservation district boards, Agricultural Stabilization and (ASC) committees, extension advisory boards and othtjjr groups. BASED ON THE mendation from these local ai«f state boards and natiopl) priorities, more USDA assistant ce would be aimed at reducing the most serious soil erostwf and related problems. The program is the departi ment’s proposed response 6ff Soil and Water Resources Cohservation Act of 1977 (RCA). It is detailed in a RCA Program report, Murphey says. This report and a summary leaflet with response form are available at SCS and Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service offices throughout the state. The basis for the program is an appraisal of the condition, trends and natural resource problems of the nation. Published in two reports, the appraisal is also available for public reference in the two USDA offices.
