WINTERS FUNERAL HOME in charge Oaio 'torn MM NATIONAL WEATH18 SERVICE NOAA USD epl of Suspect Says Counterfeit Money Found CHATTANOOGA (AP) A Cleveland printer charged with counterfeiting testified yesterday he was trying to report finding a stack of bogus bills when federal agents arrested him. "The counterfeit money was stacked up in a bundle on a counter in my Print Shoppe when I returned from having coffee the night of June, 9, 1977," Dewey Sizemore, owner of the print shop, told a federal jury. He is charged with four counts of producing bogus bills.

SIZEMORE said he quickly put the money into some boxes, then began looking for a security guard who would verify he found it. His wife persuaded him to call federal authorities, he said, and he was attempting to place the call when his shop was raided.

Highest last year 75. cimtaw Dollot By GARY SEASE BIRMINGHAM (UPI) A University of Alabama-Birmingham re-searcher has developed a "plastic palate," an electrode-studded device that maps the movements of the human tongue in an effort to improve the speech of the deaf. "I've replaced sound with feeling," said Dr.

Samuel G. Fletcher, a speech pathologist who has devoted more than a decade to producing the plastic palate. "NOW I WANT to get it out of the laboratory," he said. "Eventually, I'll have a model ready for home use one that can be plugged into a person's television set." Fletcher's invention, with the help of the university's electrical engineering department, is simple in design. The complexities arise when speech improvement begins for the deaf, most of whom have no better than a 30 intelligibility level.

The program centers on the use of a plastic palate which is placed against the roof of the mouth. On the palate, molded to fit the individual patient's mouth, are 96 minute sensors. ON ITS BOTTOM, the electrodes are flush with the palate to give it a smooth, comfortable surface. On the upper side, a thin copper wire connects the sensors to a display screen. These tiny wires are grouped at the back of the palate and are strung around the back teeth, along the cheeks and out the corners of the mouth.

These electrodes, or sensors, complete an electrical circuit when the tongue makes contact with them and illuminates the dots on the screen. "THE DEAF WILL be able to make the most immediate use of this," Fletcher explained, adding that a futuristic use might be to communicate with astronauts far out in space when radio communication is no longer practical. Fletcher said the device shows the subject by dots on the screen where the tongue is when a syllable is uttered correctly. A video display terminal is used to spell out instructions to the patient. For example, a patient is asked to utter an sound, which requires touching the tongue to the roof and to the front of the mouth.

When Fletcher congratulates the subject on the correct tongue placement, "he can remember what it felt like." ONE HURDLE Fletcher faces is unraveling all of the data he collects during a session. The subject's voice is taped. In order that the computer data can be over-layed with precision, the instant of time when each word was spoken must be known. This is accomplished by connecting a tone burst generator to the tape recorder, he said. The generator "beeps" 25 times per second at a frequency normally higher than the human voice so its sound is not intermingled with the spoken message.

THE TAPE IS then played into a frequency analyzer that breaks the Voice down into frequencies and converts them to visual images on paper, Fletcher said. Fletcher's primary aim is to improve the speech of the deaf at an early age, but he said he wants to demonstrate its potential to adults as well. "We want to document this so completely so we can show deaf adults what a help it can be," he said. "In most cases, by adulthood, they've withdrawn into the deaf world." Doow. DoiMoim Dttroit.

This is a decision that most persons have to make when they are under emotional stress and pressure of time. A hastily made choice could result in excessive expense and service short of expectations. It would be wise to visit several institutions before time of need and become acquainted with what each has to offer.

But if inquiry is put off until it is too late, you may act upon the experience of a multitude of satisfied patrons and place full trust in the integrity competence, and sympathetic understanding of Nashville's most complete burial institution where every detail may be handled at one time and where there are no hidden costs.
