Gramm said this is going to be a close race. “Richard is going to win or lose this race in a very close vote.” Strake agreed with Gramm. He told the 450 people at V.F.W.

United Press International HUNTSVILLE — Prison of ficials said Tuesday they cap tured two escaped life-term in mates, who had been missing since Sunday. “They offered no resistance.

Each gave the V advice to people planning on starting their own business. Ken Martin, owner of several dal restaurants, said a person |$)uld develop a winning atti tude. He said a person must es- Ronk tablish a positive attitude and er re^Jseli image. Martin said a win- yeesio- 1 ning attitude is the big differ- censorwfglce between winners and los- e from ers. He said losers aren’t willing to do the hard work and put in the extra effort that a winner must be willing to do in order to become successful. Martin said he started out in 1968 with $3,000 and in 24 months he was $47,000 in debt. He said it was four more years and 10 months before he broke even. Martin said it’s not easy getting started. “Yon can’t be afraid to make mistakes because then you be come afraid of winning,” he said. Frank Kahan, an area devel oper, said a person will never have anything unless he gets into debt. Kahan said people should invest in things that ap preciate in value such as real es tate instead of investing in things that depreciate in value such as cars. He said he lost plenty of money but not in real estate. Kahan said he began as a salesman in Bryan and then worked his way into real estate. “Making a dollar on your own will go further than two dollars on salary,” Kahan said. “This way you won’t have to rely on the other guy.” Charli Light, owner of Charli dress shop in College Station, said she was 20 when she went into business. She said a person has to give their business every thing he has to become success ful. She said the banks were very helpful about lending her money to get started on. She also took on a co-signer to help out with expenses.
