One is Troop 281 of Dallas. The troop went door to door giving people bags to fill with food, then picked them up a few days later. Troop members col- lected approximately 1,400 items. Also doing her part was Jessie Adkins, 11, Dallas, who made the food bank the center of her lead- ership project for Girl Scouts.

Wilkes reported that the Fed- eral Emergency Management As- sociation workers assigned to Jackson Township had completed their work. Work included road repair and ditch and basin clean- ing. Wilkes also said work done by Retreat workers at Chase Prison on the township's 1988 Ford truck was completed. Workers rewelded the truck's frame, did body work, and painted the vehicle. Wilkes said that the project could have cost the township $3,000 to $4,000, but by using the Retreat a contract to the lowest bidder. program, they needed only tosip- ply the paint.
