L-l-T-E-R-A-C-Y is the goal of the
spelling bee Thursday to benefit
Taylor County Adult Literacy
Council.
' Tlie council is a volunteer organi-
zation that promotes literacy pro-
grams in the county including adult
literacy tutoring and instruction in
English as' a second language said
Susan Robinson president of the
council.
About 30 teams will participate in
the contest at the Paramount The-
atre. Three-person teams representing
local businesses and organizations
will compete at 7 p.m after a 6 p.m.
reception honoring the participants
Robinson said.
The teams will be allowed to con-
fer before spelling their Words and
not many rules will be placed on thd
teams Robinson said.
However she said the teams will
be required to begin spelling within
30 seconds of being given the word.

tence Robinson said.
She said the first round of words
will be easy. Words like cat and
dog arc examples bf words that may
be used to get the contestants and
judges familiar with the contest for-
mat she said.
In the following rounds the par-
ticipants will be given words from
the University Intcrscholastit'
League's spelling list used in previ-
ous years for the middle school and
high school levels.
Robinson said the words will
become nwre difficult as the rounds
progress. She also said she request-
ed some extremely difficult words
be put on the word list.
"I told the people who made the
woid list to find some impossibles"
she said. "I have this fear that We'll
have some brilliant spellers and I
don't want to keep people there
spelling overnight."
The literacy council will receive
proceeds from the admission fees
and the participants' entry fees said
J.R. Greeley station manager of
KTLC-FM and chairman of the
spelling bee.
"Wc have a unique system of
entry fees" Greeley said. "Only the
teams who are eliminated in the
vwrioustwiimlsxwill have to pay then

nothing."
A $5 admission fee to the event
will include entrance to the recep-

If you thought that finding a color
Macintosh'system you could afford
was just a dream then the new affordable Macintosh LCisa dream
come true
The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display
only 16 colors at once the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors.
It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets
you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds.
Like every Macintosh computer the LC is easy to set up and easy to
master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the
same consistent way-so once you've learned one program you're well
on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share infor-
mation with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to
the versatile Apple SuperDriver which can read from and write to Macintosh
MS-DOS OS2 and Apple II floppy disks.
Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you.Then pinch
syourself. It's better than a dream-it's a Macintosh.
