Farm Bureau to fight against drugs
Saying illegal drugs should be cleared from streets and playgrounds, the
president of the South Carolina Farm Bureau has announced his group is
distributing posters listing telephone numbers for people to call if they see
marijuana growing.
The "South Carolina Farm Bureau already has several programs
directed toward the development of our young people," Bell said during a
news conference. "But ! don't know of anything we can do that will have
more positive benefits than to put illegal drug traffickers out of business."
Bell said the bureau's women's committee will distribute the posters,
which say "Help Stamp Out Marijuana" and show a marijuana leaf in a
red circle with a bar across it. The poster says to report all sightings to the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, State Law Enforcement Division or the
local sheriff.

Japanese crown prince to visit state
COLUMBIA ? A trip by Japan's Crown Prince Akihito will fit neatly
into Gov. Carroll Campbell's two-year push for Japanese investment, state
officials say.

Oct. 9-11, officials said, in the middle of a 16-day, nine-stop visit to the
U.S.
In addition to the New York meeting and the prince's visit, the state's
moves to attract Japanese investment include a visit by Campbell to Tokyo
this fall for the annual meeting of the Japanese-U.S. Southeast Association,
and the return of that association to Charleston for its convention in
the fall of 1988. The association is a group of businessmen from Japan and
seven Southeastern states working to increase trade between their areas.
U.S. Sens. Strom Thurmond and Ernest Hollings have accepted Campbell's
invitation to act as hosts for the royal family, since Campbell will be
in Japan at the time.
S.C. infant mortality high, study says
COLUMBIA ? A health official says South Carolina's high rate of infant
mortality ? 15.8 deaths per 1,000 live births ? could involve
"complex social issues," and that black babies seem to have the greatest
chance of dying.
A study released Wednesday by the Food Research and Action Center
found that South Carolina and Mississippi had the highest infant mortality
rate in 1979-84.
Dr. William Sappenfield, an epidemiologist who studies patterns of
disease associated with maternal child care, works for the Center for
Disease Control in conjunction with the state Deoartment of Health and
Environmental Control.
Hje said Wednesday th?t South Carolina's high number of low-weight
births helps contribute to the high infant mortality rate.
Crash kills three firefighters in Calif.

fire in Northern California, killing three firefighters, authorities said.

An investigation was pending. The identies of the firefighters were
withheld pending notification of relatives.
Four other firefighters have been killed in California since the blazes
broke out Aug. 28.
Earlier Wednesday, firefighters made more slow progress against giant
forest fires in Northern California, but rough terrain and heavy winds foiled
efforts to surround Oregon's big blaze.
In California, remaining firefighters made steady progress in three national
forests with fires still uncontained, despite higher temperatures and
