V) LA vt--v w' v( f'Ai Ik mm an jLf KiL, ir l'mtmJ liU immmmtjiri tuimmd By David Bill Because of more than 1,000 outstanding parking tickets in Normal, the City Council will consider hiring a Peoria attorney to prosecute violators with unpaid tickets. The council will meet at 7 p.m. Monday at City Hall.

In a report to the council, City Manager David Anderson said city attorney Alan Novick has not had the time to prosecute violators, and the police department has disposed of tickets. With the proposed agreement, Bernard Maxwell would be hired through Dec. 31, 1981. He would be paid 50 percent of the fines he would collect. The agreement also says that Maxwell would not make settlements for less than $15.

At least one group in Normal will be pleased if the council approves the agreement. At a meeting of Normal's Community Improvement Committee Tuesday, committee member Warren Craig, who also is a member of the Consolidated Neighborhood Associations of Normal, said the association had requested city action on following-up parking tickets. Craig said many homeowners had complained they often see people who receive many tickets throw them away because they know they won't be prosecuted. The council also will consider making the bicycle lanes on School Street from Willow Street to Beaufort Street two lanes one on each side of the street instead of the present double lanes on one side of the street. According to a report to the council, there have been 16 accidents involving bicycles in Normal since January.

Of those, six have been in the School Street bicycle lanes.

Obote, 54, becomes the first leader in Africa's post-colonial history to be restored to power in an election after being overthrown in a coup. Thousands of Obote supporters garbed in the red, blue and black of his Uganda People's Congress exulted in the streets of the capital moments after decisive returns in the two-day elections were announced on national radio. Obote's party won 69 of the 126 seats in the nation's Parliament while the first Christmas parade in 1929.

about 20 clowns marched this year for the first time under the banner of "Corn Belt Clown Alley." A spokeswoman for the clowns, who were later awarded the parade's first place trophy for walking entries, said they would show up for the parade no matter what the weather: "They get excited and they like to show off." The main problems of the clowns, whose group included students from clowning classes in Bloomington Adult Education and ISU Campus Recreation, were that "Lollipop's" pacifier wouldn't squeak in the cold, and "Irvie" couldn't decide about changing his clown name to "Baw-baw." The parade was also the occasion of Santa's arrival in the Twin Cities, in a tradition started in the community's Super Sauerkraut Band, the eight-piece Salvation Army band and the Bloomington Shrine Club calliope. The Super Sauerkraut Band, consisting of musicians from Illinois State University and Local 102 of the American Federation of Musicians, rode near the front of the parade on a Normal Fire Department engine. Tuba player Brett Reno, 206 Imperial Drive, said Saturday was the first time the 12 musicians had been together, and that they played in the parade "for the fun of it." Reno said the group didn't mind the prospect of playing in the cold "unless the valves freeze" on their instruments. A particularly cheerful group of By Elaine Graybill Twin City residents turned out on a cold, sunny morning Saturday and lined Main Street to watch the 1980 edition of Bloomington-Normal Jaycees' Christmas parade. The mercury sat at just below 30 degrees and the wind was blowing from the north, right into the paraders' faces.

Faces were red, toes and fingers stung, and the two marching bands scheduled to march canceled their appearances early Saturday morning because of the toll such weather takes on instruments and musicians.

As the president-elect concluded a six -day trip to the East Coast, the oft-proclaimed harmony between the incoming Reagan administration and outgoing Carter administration gave way to bitter discord over foreign policy and a spat over whether President and Mrs. Carter should move out of the White House early. Before returning to his Pacific Palisades home, where he is expected to remain through the holidays, Reagan met with his interim group of foreign policy advisers at the presidential guest mansion, Blair House.

Haig's possible selection has created a controversy because of his role as White House chief of staff when the Watergate scandal forced Richard M. Nixon to resign the presidency. Reagan headed for the West Coast in the wake of a sharp dispute between his and Carter's foreign policy aides about El Salvador, the violence-wracked Central American nation where four American women were recently killed.
