What are generally seen as the effects of the Reagan Administration on financial institutions, particularly insofar as interest rates are con cerned? A. Monetary authorities during the coming year, will be concentrating on one thing, according to the experts: A concerted determination not to repeat past mistakes. Economic rehabilitation can't take place overnight, but the Reagan Administration is eyeing a definite deadline The 1982 Congressional elections, by which time firm foundation for less inflation and a stable economic recovery must be laid. To do this, many authorities believe that 1981 may be another year of struggle, with little change in - inflation, interest fates and money availability, but with considerable light visible at the end of the tunnel.

Not because of the weather we have up here, but because of the lack of response of Ringwoodian type news. Ah ha! Does a feeling of guilt rush over you" I really didn't think it would, but I thought maybe... Perhaps if you think of me in the wee early hours of the morning, racking my brains away, trying to think of what to write about, don't you feel a wee bit sorry for me" (Seeing as how I'm working on this on St. Patrick's day. thought I'd put a "wee bit in my writing since I'm one third Irish and all' Now, I don't think I'm asking for a whole lot, just some response Do you like what I'm doing so far? Do you want more personal' activities? Someone men tioned they thought more history on the town, but do the people out on Ridgeway really care about the older part of the town0 Perhaps because the town is so small should the column appear only once a month? OK. now that I got it all out of my system, it is your turn What do you want to see in the Ringwood column0 I would love to write fiction, but don't think my editor would approve COMMUNITY ACTION Can't say the community acted too well on the suggestion of a community club, but we can't let a small thing like that deter us! ! thought I'd throw a few things your way for thinking on Did you know that Ringwood has a park0 It is in the middle of town; find it if you can -- some of us knou. where it is. Curious? Who is responsible for taking care of the park0 Who. has been mowing its lawn0 Did you know it had a gazebo at one time0 Wouldn't a gazebo look nice now" that might improve the value of your own property The ideas are endless, we could use the park for a town picnic, hold an auction there to raise money for the gazebo, 4-Her's could plant some shrubs or flowers for club activities What do vou think? VISITORS The Walkington's had visitors from Pennsylvania, Butler is the town where their son Tom and wife Maya W'alkington are, from. Paul and Althea always enjoy having the "kids" out and catching up on old times.

April 4, from 9 a.m. to noon. BIRTHDAYS Someone asked me why the birth dates are published so far in advance. I was told when I took over the column, (because I asked the same question), that if someone wanted to send a card, it would get there in time. Does that make sense? Do you want to see that changed? It's your column, you know. Winding down March and starting with April this issue, we begin with Diane <Christopher) Linstad Mar. 30; on to Audry (Andreas) Smith and Nancy Parsley Mar 31 Nobody is reporting their birth on April Fool's day so we go to April 2, with Rusty ( ernv and Laura Ackerman.
