ALEXANDER + If you're moving across the country this year, you're not ~ alone. Thanks to economic upturn, more firms are mov- ing more of their people. In one area, for instance, I.B.M. moved 857 employees during the first half of 1983; by the same period of 1984, they moved 3,231. Whether you're moving now or in the extra-busy June- ~ to-September period, it’s smart to book a mover a * month in advance. Be sure your mover is licensed. Have him come in person to give an estimate; even then, it’s a good idea to accompany the van to the scale to check the weight. Full-value insurance is usually advisable; . otherwise, losses are recompensed only by weight. If you're moving across the country, youll want the help . of a real estate pro who can market your current home and help you get settled in your new location. - oer ces | J Church, gave the invocation, Lion Connie Allison gave the welcome, and Lioness Adelaide Allison responded for guests.
