Index-Journal, Greenwood, 8.C., July 17, 1989 Festival 'successful' (Continued from page: 1) The Steering Commitee and volunteers are already hard at work on next year's Festival of Flowers. They plan to meet this week to begin getting structural information together. For I next year, hopes are high for the revival of the private home garden tours, the photo contest, and bike race and road race.

She said it takes a solid year of planning to get an event completely set up.
"As a whole, the Festival was a great success," said Harley. "Something like this is a community event, whether one volunteers, participates, or just views the events." "We had a number of out-of-town visitors, but there was an excellent Greenwood turnout, it was obvious," she said. (Continued from page 1) sues.

Saying that dramatic changes were under way in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, Bush cited Gorbachev's letter as "only the latest example of the Soviets' moving in our direction." Tracing the rebuilding of Western Europe from the rubble of World War II, he said that "the 'other Europe' the Europe behind the wall endured four decades of privation and hardship, persecution and fear." Said Bush: "Today that 'other Europe' is changing. The great wheel is moving once more. Our time the exciting time in which we live is a time of new hope, the hope that all of Europe can now know the freedom that you all in the Netherlands has known, that America has known, and that the West has known." "Our hope is that the unnatural division of Europe will now come to an end, that the Europe behind the wall will join its neighbors to the West, prosperous and free," said Bush, making the first visit to the Netherlands by any American president.
He said Poland and Hungary are moving at the forefront of political and economic reform, traveling farther over the past year than anyone in the West once thought possible. Delivering the last major speech of his European trip, Bush spoke before several hundred people in Pieterskerk, the Church of St. Peter, a huge cathedral dating to the early 12th century, after conferring with leaders in The Hague, the nearby seat of the Dutch government. He received an ovation at the conclusion of the speech. claimed Northrop employee Les Holland.

"Decisive action," they said, "is urgently needed to understand and protect the earth's ecological balance." They condemned dumping wastes in the oceans, spilling oil in the seas and stripping forests of trees. They worried that excessive emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases could change the world's climate. To arrest the deterioration, they called for more scientific research to come up with innovative solutions, urged industry to play its part and supported international efforts to save tropical rain forests.

"Great God," ex- Gorbachev (Continued from page 1) They did not ask him in.
Whatever the momentum of Gorbachev's economic restructuring, President Bush said Western leaders recognize that Moscow has a long way to go before it will sit at the elite group's table. Francois Mitterrand, the Socialist patrician who is president of France and host of the economic summit that ended this past weekend, plans to write Gorbachev a polite reply to the Soviet leader's suggestion that Moscow participate more directly in global economic discussions. "Our perestroika is inseparable from the policy tending toward full and entire participation in the world economy," Gorbachev wrote Mitterrand. The obstacles are enormous. It isn't only that the Soviet economy is weak the Western nations have bad years, after all.
Rather, it is that the Soviet system lacks economic depth or maturity. Its currency, the ruble, is not traded internationally, a fact which isolates the Soviet Union from foreign trade and monetary relations that are the heart of the Western economic system. A country that will not accept its own currency at hotel check-out is not ready for membership in the G-7, the Western thinking goes. G-7, which stands for "group of seven," is a club of like-minded wealthy nations who speak the same monetary and trade language. If anything, Gorbachev's letter seeking to link up the Soviet economy with the United States, France, Britain, Canada, Italy, Japan and West Germany is a plea for acceptance in the economic arena.
The Soviet Union belongs to the Second World of Communist nations struggling to keep pace with rising consumer demands. Not a single one of the Eastern bloc states can claim a vibrant economy. "There's an awful lot that has to transpire in the Soviet Union," before. Moscow can claim a position in serious international economic discussions, Bush said at a windup news conference on Sunday. Yet he was encouraging toward Gorbachev.
"We would welcome any movement by the Soviet Union towards oriented said. or Western "There's econ- no omies," question about that. And there's nothing begrudging about our saying that I don't expect Mr. Gorbachev to sit as a member at next year's summit." British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher wished the Soviets success in their reforms, "But I don't see the time she (the Soviet Union) will join us because of her (having become) a great free-market economic success." Others were equally skepticai. EDITOR'S NOTE Barry Schweid, chief of the AP's State Department staff, has covered U.S.-Soviet diplomacy since 1973.
