'This is a must," agreed Ms. Hale, who is active in senior activities and a kazoo player in the seniors' Kitchen Band. "They (also) have to have a good estimate of their home heating bills." Praising the project is John Flodin, Township Clerk, who helps seniors prepare forms but disdains publicity. "I've been doing this for years — subject to the time constraints," said Flodin. "I just do it. People come to the counter (at Township Hall). "Those of us in-between people, and young, can look out for ourselves," added Kiodin. "I think we have an obligation to help older people. We get busy and forget about it." For information about the tax preparation service, call 397-1000, Ext. 278.

Subic, who was greeted with cheers, flowers, yellow ribbons and banners saying, "Welcome home," and "We love you," in his hometown parish, revealed these details: • He twice attempted to escape and was beaten for his efforts. • He "lived in constant fear" and sometimes cried at night. • He slept on a foam mattress which at times was taken away, lived on a montonous diet of soup, partially cooked chicken and sandwiches on Iranian bread, and spent one third of his 444-day confinement alone in a room with no sunlight. He kept track of the days by counting the daily servings of soup. • He was "mentally and emotionally tortured, but not physically " Subic said he did not want to give details to his audience. • The Iranians treated the prisoners with contempt and even beat one of his colleagues on the way to the airport the day they were released. • He and fellow prisoners had to beg the Iranians for "everything," including such things as walks to a bathroom — blindfolded — and reading material. SUBIC IS one of three men with primarily Michigan backgrounds to be taken hostage by the Iranians. Subic, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army, was raised in Livonia and Garden City and enlisted in the Army when his family lived in Ohio. His parents moved to Redford three years ago while he was the service and he has become a "hometown hero" to Redford Township. A reporter and photographer from the Redford Observer were the only media representatives allowed to attend the St. Valentine assembly at the request of Subic, who said he still does not want to answer in detail press questions about his captivity. Subic has been the subject of speculative reports that his conduct bs prisoner is being in- G O O D IN PERSON WHO STARS AS MICHAEL PAVEL IN ABC'S "RYAN'S HOPE FEB. 13 - 1-4 P.M.

Such reports have been denied by the U.S. Department of Defense. In speaking to an audience of some 300 elementary school pupils, teachers and administrators and some parents, Subic revealed much about the way he was treated during his confinement. "IT'S GREAT to be back in a parochial school since I was educated through the eighth grade in Catholic schools," Subic said. "I want to talk informally with you, but there are some things I can't.talk about," he said. The majority of his comments were elicited by questions from the students. "My first reaction to the takeover was that ft was going to be another sitin and last a couple of hours. But after a while, we knew we were going to be there a long time. "Our diet basically consisted of flat Iranian bread with butter and jelly in the morning. For lunch, we usually had chicken and rice, which were not cooked too good. We always had soup for dinner. They had plenty of Campbell's soup. I got tired of the soup, but that's how we kept track of the approximate date. "With no sunlight, there was no other way to note each passing day except to count each bowl of soup as one day. ^1 was kept alone the first couple of months after the takeover. I was the only American I knew who was still alive. They tried to keep us separated so we had no communication with our fellow Americans. 1 "I SPENT one-third of my time in captivity alone in a room with no sunlight. I never had more than one roommate except for the day before we were released when there were five other hostages in my room. "We knew something was going on the day before our release because there were several Algerian doctors examining us. We hadn't seen many doctors before that. I was sick often during captivity, but their medical treatment was not up to our standards. "We were told we were candidates for release and we stayed up all night nfaying we'd leave. But the next day tossed into the night and we thought it was just another trick. ooooooooooooooooooo LIVONIA MALL 7 MILE and MIDDLEBELT STAR-STUDDED SIDEWALK SALE FEB. 12-13-14 SALES STARS O O P O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O P Livonia Mall The neighborly people at your neighborhood Mall Seven Mile and Middlebeit Road O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O >*SCo> 99 \0 > * !

One of my colleagues was beaten on the way to the airport, the last beating of our captivity. "The treatment we received from the militants varied with each hostage. I was beat up, mentally and emotionally tortured, but not physically tortured. They weren't very humane, but I can't go into detail now. "I WAS in constant fear during captivity, my knees shook and I cried a lot at night. I tried escaping a couple of times in January and April. After being caught, I was beat up, handcuffed to a chair and blindfolded with an electrical cord wrapped around me for eight days. "It was difficult for me to escape because I couldn't blend into the population and I don't speak the Iranian language very fluently. Now that I look back, it was kind of dumb to try escaping, but I felt I had to try at the time. "We had to beg the militants for everything, for reading materials, for them to lead us blindfolded to the bath- T v « . -:hj (P,C)5A room. We were lucky to be located near the Tehran-American High School because we used the library to get reading material. I spent a lot of time reading to exercise my mind and I would walk around in my room for physical exercise. "I kept a diary the first couple of months of captivity, but the militants took the pens and papers from those of us they suspected as being spies because they thought we were trying to send out secret messages. But my experiences are in my memory and I've had offers to write a book on my t^rie in captivity. I haven't made a decision, but I will consider all offers. "MY FREEDOM really didn't hit me immediately and I really never felt free until we landed on American soil. I still find it hard to believe I'm free and I don't have to beg for a glass of water. "One of the first things I wanted when I got back was a good old American hamburger." Subic said he plans to schedule a press conference to answer media questions after another debriefing session with the U.S. Army. ooooooo ) O O O Q JOHN KELLY AND MARILYN FEB. 14 BETWEEN 1:30-2:30 P.M. 0 0 OOOOOOO O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O ALL KINDS OF BOOKS! ^ BOOKS-Art Books • Children's Books BOOKS 'Cook Books • notion d h o f q # History Books fiUU ^.Humor Books • Science Books Big Print Books SPECIALS GALORE!
