Budget Continued from Page IB the whipping boy. It's not a matter of fairness, it's a matter that statutes put the responsibility of operation of Juvenile Court on the Circuit Court, not on the County Court. "In our judgment this is the minimum dollar. If the court, in fact, decides that the funds are necessary, then under the statute that's the way the budget has to go. "The only option we would have is to say to the County Court, all right, we won't provide the services," Burrell said.

The only central ingredient is science the stories almost always involve exploits made possible by scientific advancements not yet made, he said. That separates science fiction from plain fantasy, he said.

Statewide, Missourians paid a about $1.5 billion in sales taxes and $1.26 billion in property taxes a 4.4 percent decrease over 1982, the survey found. The effects of Proposition and sending the notices out early are likely behind Christian County's early payments, Collector Eddie Glenn said.

"We're doing real good this year," he said. "We've had quite a lot of early collections." Lawrence County Collector Carol Young said about 65 percent of the property-tax money has been collected so far year, which is slightly behind the usual rate. "We're just about 800 receipts behind last year," he said. "We've got an awful lot of mail though, and I'm sure the weather's got something to do with it." Weather and economic reasons also have probably slowed down Howell County payments, Collector Wayne Scharnhorst said. Robbery conviction stands available for employees.

And keep sending the manuscript to editors until someone buys it. 'You can't give up," he said.

United Press International A man accused of telling a savings and loan employee he would blow up a bottle of gasoline if his demands were not met has lost his appeal on a first-degree robbery conviction.
