The existence of such books was brought to the county council's attention this week by Elwood Hurst, a n.

Yet Gov. Dick Riley and state budget officials seemed, like Vaughn, almost philosophical as they received the grim news from their economic advisors Friday. They even wasted considerable time coolly debating whether, after cutting the budget, they had the legal right to restore funds later in the year if tax revenues turn out better than expected. Thev should be so luckv to have that problem. It appears they're getting used to coping with fiscal calamities. Back in September of 1980, word that tax receipts would fall short of expectations by a mere $49.5 million triggered a painful round of employee layoffs as agencies cut personnel spending by 7 percent. Then in November of 1981, a similar $40 million warning drew a 2.19 percent across-the-board cutback order to agency chiefs, many of whom grumbled that they were already cut back as far as they could go. The $40 million shortfall projection swelled to $60 million by April and $100 million by the end of the fiscal ^ V '.V N" _., ? i . w/^:v;.-. .v^-^HHI s Jennings studies a play diagram ^uring Sa in to defeat the Spiders 30-10. i Mo^n* hotlnr i I UQLO.

Several councilmen said this week that while they don't like to be censors, they realize their beliefs may be different from those of their constituents. "There have to be different criteria with children's books than with adult's books,"Councilman Gene Cunningham says. "We really have to be careful with kids because they're so impresssionable. Although the matter was referred to the council's public safety committee, the nanpl's phairman t?-w,:?i _ , uviiuillV Olllllll, says the job of selecting books for the children's section should be left to library personnel. "We don't have the qualifications to determine what should or should not be in the library," Smith says. I m as m M Liuyci UUIS year in June. Despite the cutbacks, and the hiring freezes and other economic moves which followed them, the state had to dip into savings for more than $50 million to avoid a deficit in fiscal 198182. In the meantime, the legislature had made plans to spend $2.1 billion frnm .Tnlv 1 1QR2. to June 30. 19R3 hut the word in late June was that this was $52 million more than the state would take in. Gov. Dick Riley vetoed state employee cost-of-living pay raises immediately. He tried to veto merit increases as well, but the legislature overrode that veto and the Budget and Control Board had to order agencies to cut spending plans by a third of a percent to make up the difference. Now more cuts, up to 4.8 percent for some agencies, are certain to be ordered Tuesday, when the board meets again to decide what to do about the cuts. It has to do something, because the state's savings acount, the reserve fund, can't take another :n: :^ milium 1 ctiu ucAitiuuc. im ww^p jjlL ' % Photo by Caport Hammond turday's football game.

But, he says, "While I have my beliefs, I don't necessarily want to impose my beliefs on someone else." Fair says children should be encouraged to read books about sexual relationships, whether they involve homosexual or heterosexual liaisons. However, he savs such material should only be read in a structured atmosphere where adults can give advice. Sexuality, he says, is not "a subject a 12-year old can comprehend and deal with by himself. Having access freely is asking for trouble."
