In the current year, Congress provided about $55 million for B-2 work at Whiteman, which will be the first operational base for the bombers. The base is about 60 miles east of Kansas City. The largest item in the latest budget request is $7.8 million for security improvements.
The president's budget also said the Pentagon would seek nearly $83 million for B-2 projects at Whiteman in the 1983 fiscal year. million for an administration building at Fort Leonard Wood. million for fire protection improvements at the Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center. for upgrading an Army National Guard firing range at Fort Crowder. million for improvements in an operations and training building for the Air National Guard at Rosecrans Memorial Airport near St.

Flat River council to meet Flat River A light agenda faces the Flat River City Council at its regular February session scheduled for 7 o'clock tonight in the municipal courtroom. The council is scheduled to consider an ordinance that will establish a speed limit for Parkway Drive, the new connector road between St. Joe Drive and U.S.
67 that was opened to traffic late last year. Unless otherwise posted, under city law, the speed limit for the new road would be 25 miles per hour. There was no indication as to what speed limit is being proposed in the Help- (Continued from page 1) Each case will be examined by a case worker to determine precise needs.

those spouses with children trying to cope with the deployment of a parent, a series of free workbooks for young children and pre-teenagers is currently available. These therapeutic books address such issues as writing letters to the parent, where the rarent is and why the parent left. The phone number to call is 1-800-735-KIDS. With a reported increase of 20-30 percent in blood donations, the American Red Cross is becoming taxed beyond what it may be equipped to handle, Kendall said this morning. Prior to the outbreak of the Persian Gulf War, 20 percent of those at any given blood station were donating blood.
That figure, Kendall said, has risen to 75 percent. "Many people are wanting to give blood because it seems like the patriotic thing to do. There has been a great outpouring of donations, but it is taxing our internal ability to collect and process blood- and to service people with the personnel we have on hand," he explained. "We don't want to mislead the public into thinking that their donations will go over (to Saudi Arabia). We are not requested at this time, in our area, to send blood to the ordinance tonight, though it is expected to be in excess of the 25 mile per hour limit for unposted areas.
The council also is to consider an ordinance calling for the annual city election to be held April 2. There are four candidates for the two city council seats at stake this year and there are two revenue issues on which the Flat River residents will vote. The four candidates include incumbent Mayor Leonard Henson, James Blake, Jane Pruett and Patrick (Mike) Johnson. Persian Gulf. The Army supplies much of its own blood through its own massive system.
"If additional blood is needed, the American Red Cross will select various blood regions to donate blood for that purpose. Right now, any one of the 54 regions could make it. I don't see us being asked to send (blood) over at this time," he pointed out. "We want to thank the public for their outpouring of support and for calling us to ask how they can help. We are continually finding out the evolving and changing needs of military families," Kendall concluded.
Shirley Smith, an representative at the Lemay Ferry Road office, reported that the corporation has begun offering a facsimile service for soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia. Free of charge to family members, the fax message is transmitted immediately to the military post office in Saudi Arabia, thus bypassing the A.P.O. in New York or the F.P.O. in San Francisco. The revenue issues to be decided by the voters include a one-half cent capital improvements sales tax and the proposal of a $5 per month fee for residential solid waste collection.
There are segments of the meeting set aside in which individuals may address the council on any topic, councilmen may bring up matters not on the agenda and in which the city manager reports on anything he may have that is not otherwise on the agenda. The council may adjourn to executive session at the close of other business. "All you have to do is get a form from our local office (located at 3843 Lemay Ferry Road in South St. Louis County) and write a letter or message. You can send as many as you want as often as you said Ms.
Smith. Before the hostilities began, messages could be delivered within 24-48 hours. The length of time it now takes for message delivery, even with a fax machine, depends on where the soldiers are stationed in the desert kingdom. The phone number to call for more information is (314) 894-1435. Military Affiliated Radio Service For close family members needing to communicate with loved ones stationed with the U.S.
