"I can't tell you anything," said John Boycott, assistant manager of the Plymouth Mall store. "Our company officials won't even respond to us," he said. A&P VICE PRESIDENT of Communication and Corporate Af- fairs Mike Rourke said in a phone interview from New Jersey that unprofitability was the major reason for the closing of several hun- dred A&P stores nationwide. Rourke claimed that a final decision had not yet been made con- cerning the Ann Arbor stores, but would be made this week. However, several local A&P personnel indicated the stores would shut down on Jan. 30, as previously reported. Several employees already have been laid off. Pat Derryberry, a checker-cashier with A&P for 13 years, said yesterday was her last day of work. "I don't know what I will do after tonight," she said. "It's a shame, but when you've been in the business for 13 years, you can see it coming," she said. Helen Burack, a meat-wrapper at the Stadium Boulevard store, said she got her layoff slip on Thursday, but that the company was not volunteering any information about the future. BURACK SAID she would not know for nearly two months, whether her layoff was permanent or she would be transferred to another store. "They don't tell us anything," she said. Manager Patrick Crowe of the Stadium Boulevard store said about 40 employees there would be affected by the upcoming shut- dpwn. He said he did not know how many would be transferred to different stores. Managers of the other A&P supermarkets would not reveal the number of employees that would be affected. THE COMPANY'S contract with the United Food and Commer- cial Workers union, which represents A&P employees, calls for laid-off employees to be transferred to other stores on a seniority, basis ,according to Rourke. This could mean some employees in stores remaining open could lose their jobs to employees from the closed stores who have more seniority, he said. Rourke added that negotiations were in progress with the union. "Labor costs are a major problem," he said.

It was the first significant quake in the area in more than a century. The National Earthquake Center said the quake measured 5.9 on the Richter scale, which is strong enough to cause considerable damage, but no injuries or major damage were reported. It was followed abut three hours later by an aftershock with a 4.9 Richter scale magnitude. Don Finley, a spokesman for the U.S. Geological Sur- vey in Golden, Colo., said the after- shock was felt at about the same locatim as the quake. HE SAID earthquake center officials received some reports of minor struc- tural damage at Presque Isle and Caribou, Maine. It was the first significant quake to hit the area since Feb. 8, 1855, said Finley. The quake "sounded something like an airplane but the vibration was greater - it was really shaking the house," said Marion Pray, 55, of New denmark, New Brunswick. "It sounded something like thunder when it really roars like it's in the floor." THE 7:54 A.M. EST tremo seconds and was centered in populated area near New B about 180 miles northeast o Maine.

(AP)- Sixty army sergeants and of-, ficers from violence-torn El Salvador arrived yesterday to begin 16 weeks of basic infantry training with the U.S. Army's Green Berets. The group, arriving by com- mercial jet at 4 p.m., was greeted by Col. Edward Richards, commander of the 7th Special Forces located at Fort Bragg. He boarded the plane to brief the Salvadorans while members of the press were kept 50 yards away. THE Salvadorans were taken to their quarters under tight security, while in nearby Fayet- teville people opposed to the training gathered to plan a demonstration scheduled for tomorrow. At a news conference yester- day before the leaders arrived, officials said the Salvadorans will get one month of training in military leadership before a. 1,000-troop army battalion comes from the Central American nation in mid- February. Spokesmen for the Pentagon have said another 600 Salvadoran soldiers will go to Fort Benning, Ga., beginning Jan. 25. Richards said his unit will be responsible for the training. He said the Salvadorans will be taught various techniques so they can help train the rest of the battalion. r~t c (\\4fl)) a r~i Q I'jr A) C) O) U rl t By PAM FICKINGER If you are planning to take a walk today in the brisk afternoon air, think again. Jack Frost will be nipping viciously at your nose as the temperature dips near zero. This time of year is commonly known as the cold and flu season but it is also the season for frostbite. FROSTBITE IS the constriction of vessels of the extremities due to cold, according to Jann Conley, a registered nurse at University Hospital. Conley said there have been only a few mild cases of frostbite at the hospital this winter. Every case of frostbite is different, Conley said. Common symptoms include a feeling of extreme coldness followed by numbness in the extremities, which may begin to turn white. In extreme cases, the affected areas will be very dark blue, she said. Frostbite is treated by applying warm Threat of frost bite rises as winter temperatures.fall water to' the frostbitten areas, gradually warming the extremities, Conley said. The ears, nose, hands, and feet are most suscep- tible to frostbite, she added. "WET AND cold is worse than dry and cold," Conley said. She advises people who want to play in the snow to wear extra pair of mittens. Hypothermia is a cold weather affliction similar to frostbite. The symptoms are basically the same, Conley said, but the entire body is affected. A person can collapse if he or she gets too cold, she said. Factors in addition to the weather can determine the severity of both frostbite and hypothermia, Conley said. An older person, one who is not very healthy, or one who smokes could develop a more serious case than someone in excellent physical condition. Conley said those who think they might have frostbite should call the Poison Infor- mation Center at 764-5102.

The supply side of robbery A disgruntled and gun toting critic of Reaganomics decided to take the economic theory to a bank and came out on the supply side of $2,700. ,A bandit wearing sunglasses and a hooded sweatshirt entered a bank Friday morning and confronted three tellers with a long-barreled handgun, said police Officer Terry Branum. "You can thank Reagan for this. I got laid off from my job," the man said as he placed cash in a leather bag. Branum said the robber left the bank on foot and jumped over a fence, disappearing into pressurized to the equivalent of sea level on Earth, plus magnifying panoramic windows and floating balconies.
