MARCH 21. lttO What Just One Person Can Do Miracle of the Flowers Sometimes a simple idea can turn a person's life around. Father James Harvey, a prison chaplain from Brooklyn, is changing many lives for the better and he's doing it with flowers. He saw the need for some creative intervention in the lives of neglected and rejected kids - those who were getting in trouble and coming before the courts as first offenders. He knew what the future would hold for them if something wasn't done to help. So he conceived an ingenious plan, an exciting non-profit program called "Flowers With Care." He enlisted the help of a group of florists. Now, with their support and the support of skilled counsellors, the program helps these young men to learn the art of floral Since its creation in 1974, more than 90 percent of those who entered the program have made good professionally, becoming florists, nursery men and women and flower shop managers. Only one of the program 's graduates has gotten into further trouble. The training program is nine months long, and it involves on-the-job guidance with experienced florists. P a r t i c i p a n t s l e a r n everything from basic botany to marketing, design, pricing and bookkeeping. The trainees range in age from 16 to 24. They receive the minimum wage at the start of the program with raises in the third and eighth month. At the end of the course, "Flowers With Care" provides for placement, giving the young people a job with a future and the first real security they've ever known. The program even provides a place to live, warm clothing and medical care for those who need it. In return, there are high standards to be met. Trainees must be drug and alcohol free and remain so. They must develop good work habits, punctuality, cooperation with fellow employees, and a readiness to follow orders. The whole thing is working so well that the courts and the school authorities now refer youngsters to Father Harvey. How do you turn a life around? How do you give a person pride, responsibility, hope and the opportunity for economic security? Ask Father James Harvey, he's doing it. I call it the miracle of the flowers.

Presented by STATE BANK OF RICHMOND member F.D.I.C. It's that time again. Tax time. Hardly ever pleasant unless you have a refund due, and even- then the returns can be a hassle. One of the things that might make this year a little easier is to start earlier than in years past. Begin gathering the records now, especially if you plan to itemize your deductions. Follow Schedule A of form 1040 and sort all records from 1?79 which pertain to deductions into the categories listed on the form. If you do this now, you should have ample time to request copies of bills or invoices you might need prior to filing. If you sold assets last year such as stocks or real estate, you'll have time to locate the records of the transactions which should include the price and date of sale. If you've moved during the year or made certain energy- saving home im­ provements, you will, need additional records for deductions or tax credits. By starting now, you can be thorough and unrushed in preparing your return. And you can enjoy that once-o-year sigh of relief before April 15th.
