I Legislative Bill 790, which goes into effect July 16, repeals I both the sales tax refund and the property tax exemption in- I centives available in recent years. However, a legislative shift to income tax credits will re main in effect after the repeal. V. B.

" It's about kids, the suburbs, a single parent family in mid dle California very family oriented. A dying extraterrestri al, nicknamed 'K.T7 by the family's youngest son, Elliot, gives the film its name," said Edward K. Sell, manager of Lincoln's Stuart Theater. The film's director, Steven Spielberg, is a storyteller, Sell said, like his friend George Lucas, creator of "Star Wars". Judging from the film's reciepts, most moviegoers agree that this story is well told and directed. Some viewers haven't been very excited about the movie. Jenni Burrows, 22, of 1632 S. 21st St., was disappointed. "I was disappointed in it (the movie)," Burrows said, "I ex pected better special effects. The little creature could have been more life-like, too." But most viewers interviewed expressed the opinion of Jim Boeche, 21, of Seward. "I've got to see it again," Boeche said, "it was fantastic." Sell said the theater is now offering coupons which admit moviegoers to their sixth viewing of the film free of charge. "'E.T.' is doing business like 'Star Wars' (the biggest gross ing film ever shown at the Stuart)," Sell said. The movie has been running for nearly a month at the Stuart and Sell said it's picking up more and more business every week.

Bicyclists for peace cross U.S., declare bomb is spiritual sickness BY DIANNE LUTZI A group of six bicycle across the United States through thundershowers and the hot sun to share their message. The Peace Peddlers talk to groups and individuals across the coun try about world peace through disarmament. The Peace Peddlers stopped in Lincoln Friday and spoke with Lincolnites at the Gathering Place, 1448 E St. "The bomb is a spiritual sickness," said Jonathan Vogel, a peace peddler. Even if the world gets rid of the bomb, it will still have injustice, Vogel said. People will still have the know how to build bombs, Vogel said. First, people need to love each other and love God, Vogel said, to achieve world peace. People hear so many horror stories of nuclear war, Vogel said. People fear the enemy and the bomb, he said. The Peace Peddlers want to help people look beyond fatalism and to wards spiritualism, Vogel said. The Peace Peddlers want "to move towards the future positively" through faith. They want "to make a witness more visible to religion," Vogel said. The public is learning to face fears and make the change towards spiritualism, Vogel said. The peace peddlers are help ing to create a vision of how they want to see the world, Vogel said. "More people are aware of this and us," said Lauren Crutcher, a peace peddler. "Many types of backgrounds are approaching this issue," Ms. Crutcher said. The Peace Peddlers met through Quaker conferences and newsletters and got together to travel across the country to in form others on world peace, Ms. Crutcher said. A Quaker is a member of the Society of Friends. They believe very much in what they are doing, said Peace Peddler Caryn Raschback, or they wouldn't be doing this. The group started its journey on March 1 in San Francisco, Calif., and will end the journey at Washington, D.C., on Octo-. ber 18th, said Ms. Crutcher. The trail picked for the journey includes cities which have uranium plants and where bombs are made and deployed, Vogel said. They will pedal on to Chicago, Connecticut and Washington, Vogel said. The Peace Peddlers encourage everyone to register to vote to achieve world peace through disarmament, Vogel said. imitriniiimHHJniaHHtiTmituni)H iiiiiiiiiiifi I yJ ATI IF I I I lfc3C I FOR MEN: PANTS SUITS JEANS SPORTSCOATS SHORT SLEEVE SHOES SHIRTS SANDALS FOR LADIES: BLOUSES SWIMSUITS KNITS SHOES SANDALS SHORTS PANTS SKIRTS Layaways Bank Cards Welcome Hours M-F 10-6 Thur. 10-9 Sat. 10-6 1 i m j1 ,
