.....BELIEFS CITED AS AMISH BEAT BUGGY TICKET

   Amish farmers have a constitutional right not to put bright orange 
warning signs on their plain black buggies.

   Judge Ben Dickinson dismissed a traffic ticket issued to an Amish
man for not carrying a sign on his horse-drawn carriage marking it as
a slow moving vehicle.

   Herman Zook, 27, claimed his community should be exempted from the
state law due to their religion that forbids display of bright colors
and symbols of government authority.



.....SOMETHING 'MESHUGGA'                                by Peter Rowe

   Sylvia Cronin wants to sell her Jupiter, Fla. condominium real bad.
She has been trying for six weeks now but to no avail. So she announced
a sales gimmick, a quart of chicken soup each week for a year to any
buyer....<it couldn't hurt>



.....UNCONVENTIONAL SCHOOL RAISES LOCAL HACKLES    ...story of the week
                                                      by Pat Flynn
   The "international headquarters" of God Unlimited University of     
Healing sits along State Highway 94. It's been there for three years.

   Four trailers and a outdoor toilet makeup the campus. Herbert
Beierle, dean and president, said recently, "It's a very quiet place."

   Said Mike Mikesell, who lives nearby, "It's like Jim Jones-they're nuts."

   You see, some members of Beierle's university, which he also calls
a church practice nudity. "Those who don't want to don't have to wear
clothes, but I tell people to use good judgement." But trouble was
created about three weeks ago. It started with a motorcycle.

  "Riding down the road buck-naked with a helmet on, most ridiculous
thing I've ever seen," said Bill Jeffries, another nearby resident.
This comes on the heels of a previous episode when a naked church
member was spotted at the roadside mailboxes as a schoolbus full of
children pulled up. Some neighbors also complain about the group
chanting.

   "This is not a sex farm," Beierle said.

   Beierle, a former real estate salesman and publisher of a weekly
newspaper <hmmm>, studied at Marquette University and the University
of Chicago but his degree in divinity is from the College of Divine
Metaphysics in Indianapolis.



.....TRAFFIC TIE-UP                                      by Peter Rowe

   A funny thing happened on his way to traffic court. Cory Masek of
Chicago was on his way down to answer four earlier violations when
he ignored a red light, sped away and bashed into a police car that
was attempting to block him.

   The high speed chase that followed ended up in <hang on> the
traffic court parking lot. Judge Daniel White said "he picked the
wrong place to run. There are usually more police in traffic court
than there are in district police stations."


.....MISS LIBERTY A JERSEYITE ???

   A newly discovered document reveals that the Statue of Liberty is
actually in New Jersey and not New York, a New Jersey state historian
said recently.

   The historian, Kevin Wright, said, " There can be no argument anymore
whose jurisdiction Liberty stands in." He said he uncovered an official
treaty signed between New Jersey and New York in 1889 that proves his
point.

   New York officials base their legal argument on a 1834 document and
have long claimed the island as their own. The statue has a New York
postal address, is protected by New York police and pays her taxes to
New York.

   The Dec.23, 1889 treaty and accompanying map cited by Wright were
the work of a Joint Boundary Commission and stated the boundary fight
was "finally and conclusively" resolved, the historian said.

   New York Mayor Koch refused to discuss the find.
