•youth 86• Update
The August edition of "Youth 86" is shaping up. My "By
the Way" column for that issue was inspired by a sobering letter from a
teenage girl who learned the hard way and became an unwed mother. From
the letters we receive we can tell the pressures upon young people in this
society of Satan are at an all-time high. Many are crying out for guide
lines in a world where it seems anything goes.
If you know of any encouraging examples of young people in your area, be
sure to let us know. •youth 86" is a bright beacon of hope in an otherwise
darkened world to so many of our young readers.
Also scheduled for August are articles about why the news is all bad today
<with the good news just ahead), a story of endurance in a caving
adventure, an article about buying clothes on a limited budget and an
article about some animals with a lot of scents--skunks!

This average figure when multiplied
by the IRS lease table amounts was less than the total payroll deductions
paid by the field ministry. Consequently, there was no additional value
to add to the 1985 taxable income for the ministerial fleet.
