John S. Jones A funeral for John Stanley Jones, 78, of Rt. 1, Cascade, who died Saturday, Aug. 1, at Memorial Hospital of Martinsville and Henry County, was held Tuesday at Swicegood Funeral Home, Danville. The Rev.
Thomas Wright officiated. Burial was in the Jones family cemetery at Cascade. He was the father of Timothy Jones of Martinsville. Du El: Pont (Continued From Page 1-A) called the program an enhanced retirement plan that offered "full retirement and then some" for non-supervisory employees. The package offered full retirement payments even for those younger than the normal full benefit age of 58, health insurance" and $5,000 for college if retirees wanted to go back to school.
Johnny Watkins, personnel manager of the Du Pont plant, said the reduction i in the work force is a "continuation of our trying to become more competitive." Layoffs at the plant were not nec-: essary because of the number of. employees opting for the plan. Clark, 49, and her husband, Wayne, 50, were among those who took advantage of the offer. "We consider it a great oportunity to retire at this she said, adding she and her husband have a farm to work in Patrick County and they now can spend more time with their two sons. James and Betty Wood, ages 57 and 55 respectively, of Martinsville, also jumped at the chance for the retirement plan.
Betty Wood said deciding to retire was easy. "It was a good opportunity and I didn't know if they would offer it again," she said. "We plan to do a lot of traveling." Amos said 80 of the retirees spent their last day at Du Pont on Olympics give NEW YORK (AP) NBC won the gold, the silver and the bronze in the ratings with its first full week of Olympic coverage. NBC won every night and claimed the top seven slots for an overall 20.2 rating last week, the A.C. Nielsen Co.

Miles Sr. A funeral for Maury Rufus Miles 77, of the Oak Level community, Rt. 3, Bassett, will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. at Collins Funeral chapel at Bassett. The Revs.
Randall Blackmon and Wilbern Meeks will officiate. Burial will be in Roselawn Burial Park. Miles died Tuesday, Aug. 4, at Memorial Hospital of Martinsville and Henry County. Born Sept.
27, 1914, in Henry County, he was a son of the late Rufus Miles and the late Lucy Seay Miles. A sister, Margie Reagan, and four brothers, Russell. J. Miles, I.G. Miles, Roy Miles and Raymond Miles, also preceded him in death.
He was self-employed. Surviving are his wife, Thelma Jones Miles of the home; two sons, Maury R. "Junebug" Miles Jr. and Wayne M. Miles, both of Bassett; two sisters, Gladys M.
Baggerley of Burlington, N.C., and Thelma M. Winstead of Danville, and four grandchildren. The family will receive friends at Collins Funeral chapel from 7 to 9 p.m. today, and other times at the home in Oak Level. July 31 and the rest of the 308 will leave during the next 12 months.
Some retirees remain so that other personnel can be trained for their jobs. A total of 470 employees applied for the retirement package and, according to Amos, the company used years of service to determine who was allowed to retire. Not only will the employees benefit from the plan, but it also enabled the plant to reduce its employee numbers to 1,400. Two years ago, the plant employed more than 2,000. The reduction prevented layoffs, Amos said.
"It helped older employees and prevented hurting younger employees," Amos said. The one drawback to the plan, Amos said, was that "we lost a lot of experience." The average years of service for those who accepted the plan was 30 years, and one employee had been with the company for 40 years. Last year the company offered plan to supervisory personnel and 40 accepted. The company has been reducing its work force during the past year. In June 1991, the company was announced that 211 workers took early retirement.
The employee reductions are part of a phase-out of obsolete production equipment and a twoyear-old, $40 million modernization program. boost to NBC margin of victory in the network's history.

Electrical A of Missouri won Democratic primaries in their neighboring states, becoming the eighth and ninth women to gain Senate nominations so far this year. Both face Republican incumbents who won easy victories in their own primaries Tuesday Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas and freshman Sen. Christopher Bond of Missouri. "I think it's much more than the year of the woman," Ms. Rothman-Serot said in her victory speech.
"It's the year of change, of very angry people who have the backbone to fight and stand up for the middle class." It was a night of unwelcome change for two House incumbents, Dick Nichols of Kansas and Guy Vander Jagt of Michigan, who were ousted by challengers. They became the 14th and 15th congressmen to lose primary races this year. And in another historic change, black candidates made inroads in court-ordered legislative races in Mississippi. The state with the biggest slate of races was Missouri, where state Attorney General William Webster won a bitterly contested Republican gubernatorial primary over Secretary of State Roy Blunt and state Treasurer Wendell Bailey. His fall opponent will be Lt.
Gov. Mel Carnahan, the winner of a Democratic race over St. Louis Mayor Vince Schoemehl, who offered one of the most unvarnished concession speeches in memory. "We did not do well anywhere," Schoemehl told supporters at a St. Louis union hall.
"We did not do well in the St. Louis area, we did not do well in Kansas City, we did not do well anywhere across the state. We kind of took a risk that people would want a change. Apparently they didn't." President Bush's cousin George Herbert Walker III missed the opportunity to extend the family's political fortunes when he lost a GOP congressional primary to state House Minority Leader James Talent. Talent will challenge freshman Democratic Rep.

Women win primaries; more incumbents lose far this year, eight are Democrats. O'Dell, a longtime political aide in Kansas, defeated. Baptist minister Fred W.
Phelps by better than 2-to-1 69 percent to 31 percent to win the Democratic nomination. She made it clear from the start that her race against Dole one of the most powerful members of the Senate would be a classic outsider-insider battle. But even in a year of insurgents, hers will be a steep uphill fight. "He's one of the reasons we're in the mess we're in," she said. "Bob Dole has gotten so caught up in affairs of galactic importance that he has lost his concern for the individual people of Kansas." Dole had little trouble defeating his primary challenger, Richard Rodewald, a retired General Motors automobile plant employee.
Dole captured 80 percent of the GOP vote. "The people of Kansas will have a clear choice in November," he said in a statement. Missouri's Bond swamped his GOP opponent, protest candidate Wes Hummel, 84 percent to 16 percent. But he faces a more difficult fall campaign against Rothman-Serot, who burst from a dense primary field to claim 35 percent of the vote more than triple that of her closest competitor. Bond promised Republicans that he would bring unity to their party, beset by a bruising governor's primary.
Rothman-Serot promised more bruises. Asphalt Sealing Protect your blacktop investment.
