1 . WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton hon-
oifed 10 “All-America Cities” Thursday for innova-
• tive solutions to problems ranging from youth vio-
•Jetid© to unemployment.
’ The 45th annual awards, given each year by the
National Civic League, took on special significance
this year because many programs honored resem
ble those in the crime bill that Clinton persuaded
Congress to pass.
“The partnerships we celebrate here are a re
minder that government can and must help, that
businesses and volunteer organizations working
with citizens themselves must do the hard work of
restoring America’s communities,” Clinton said at
a Rose Garden ceremony.
The $30 billion crime bill, which Clinton is
scheduled to sign Tuesday, will strengthen those
partnerships by helping funnel more cash to local
communities to fight crime, build prisons and fund
preventive programs, the president said.
Meantime, Attorney General Janet Reno told
reporters she expects the first 20,000 of 100,000
new police officers authorize;d in the bill will be on
the streets within 16 months. The number should
reach 40,000 by October 1996, she said.
Some of this year’s “All-America Cities” are:
—Porterville, Calif., for programs to deal with
delinquent youth and fight gangs; a “freeze relief’ ef
fort that assisted thousands of migrant citrus work
ers when a 1990 crop was destroyed and a fund-rais
ing campaign that helped a seniors group build a re
frigerated warehouse to store food for the poor.
—Mount Airy, N.C., for a project to divert at-
risk youth away from drugs and crime i
recreation, education and culture; a freem
clinic founded by a retired hospital admii
and two doctors and a history museum intern
keep people coming downtown.
—Philadelphia, for a “make unity wort]
racism campaign; an education program
youth that includes $1.4 million for scholi
and financial aid and a private-sector initii
improve the city’s downtown that has h
duce crime by 18 percent over three years

Three ways to beat
the high cost of college.
1. The Montgomery Gl Bill
2. Student loan repayment
3. Part-time income
The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for
college.
First, if yon qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with up to
86,840 for eurrent college expenses or approved vo/teeh training.
Second, if you have-or ohtain-a qualified student loan not in default,
.you may gel it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or 8500, whichever is greater,
ij ; . up to a maximum of 810,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here’s how it works:
. .One summer you take Basie. Training, and the next summer you receive skill
' training at an Army school. You’ll earn over 81,500 for Basie and even more for
.skill training. Then you’ll attend monthly meetings at Army Reserve unit
Hear your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You’ll
be paid over 8105 a weekend to start. It’s worth thinking about. Give us a call:

HOUSTON (AP) — Nation of
Islam leader Louis Farrakhan
begins Family Day 1994, a na
tional message regarding family
values, with an appearance
scheduled for Sunday at Hous
ton’s Astrodome.
Organizers say plans are in
the works to bring Farrakhan to
several cities in the next few
months as part of Family Day
celebrations across the country.
But no dates or cities for the
supposed tour have been sched-
uled, a spokeswoman said
Thursday.
“It’s our attempt to unite the
diverse cultural, ethnic, reli
gious and political communities
throughout America to discuss,
promote and implement pro
grams that will strengthen our
families,” said Robert Muham
mad, local organizer of Family
Day 1994 and Houston’s Nation
of Islam minister.
Attendees will pay $15, S25
or $50 to attend the three-hour
program.
Also appearing with Far
rakhan will be musicians Johnny

Study finds seniors raising
children face variety of probler
WASHINGTON (AP) — Low-
income elderly people struggling
to raise their grandchildren are
being denied welfare benefits by
caseworkers who refuge to ac
knowledge the growing numbers
of three-generation families, a
seniors advocacy group said in a
report released today.
The report, by the American
Association of Retired Persons,
documents the hardships facing
seniors who become parents
again, often at a time when their
health may be failing and their
financial security at risk.
AARP’s study found the num
ber of children under age 18 liv
ing in homes headed by grand
parents increased by more than
50 percent in the past two
decades, from 2.2 million in 1970
to 3.34 million in 1993.
In most cases, the mother of
the children is living with the
family. But in one-third of such
families, neither parent is pre
sent.
Social problems, such as job
lessness, drug and alcohol addic
tion, imprisonment, deatliW
lated to street crimes andbal -
ing, AIDS and child abuse'
largely to blame, the studysij
A ARP, the nation’s large; ’
niors group, based itsstuf '
Census Bureau data and itsl '
telephone survey of a small j 1
pie of the estimated half-ml -
midlife and older Americans^’
are on their own in caring
grandchild.
These families, thest 1
found, tend to be poor. Morel ‘
half had incomes of less®
$20,000, and more than a Sjjg
live at or below the poverty|

others have trouble when I \

The association saif ,1
problem is due largelytob/,
welfare workers who “vil
the law by refusing to;
federal guidelines.”
