BEFORE BUYING
NEW YORK APi — Take precau-
tions to pres ent your dream house from
turning into a nightmare
Attorney Armond Budish writes in
Family Circle magazine that "you are
always better off knowing any pro-

house ”
Budish offers these tips to help avoid
unwelcome surprises
— State in your purchase offer that
you may hire a professional inspector
to look over the property after the seller
accepts and might terminate the offer
if flaws are found.
— Add a clause requiring the seller
to Ust all repairs over $100 made to the
property in the past five years This
should alert you to potential problems
and to warranties tor previous repair
work, which should be signed over to
you.

to anxiety and tension Some experts
believe that Valium is prescribed too
often for symptoms of stress The
drug is habit-forming, and many peo-
ple have come to rely on it, as on alco-

In my opinion, nervousness is not
an appropriate reason for a doctor to

for the short term control of anxiety

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - After
eight years of 18-hour days in a
cramped studio behind a Dairy
Queen, Jerry Reynolds and Russ
Harris have built a small empire
from a bunch of worms.
They're Mirthworms, stars of a
critically acclaimed series of half-
hour. family oriented cartoons being
seen w orldwide.
"A Merry Mirthworm Christmas"
and "A .Mirthworm Masquerade"
have been seen on television stations
in several major markets in 14 other
countries. The cartoons have been
released on pay-TV and recently on
videocassette.
Two more animated specials are in
the works — and in demand
"At a time when the Japanese are
flooding the market with cheaply
made animation ... and a lot of
American animation is too violent,
it's really refreshing to see such
high-quality animation that also has
an uplifting moral message," says
Vincent Petrillo, director of an-
cillary sales for Family Home Enter-
tainment of Newbury Park. Calif.
The company has acquired the car-
toons for both foreign and domestic
home-video distribution
Harris believes part of the Mir-
thworms' appeal may be at-
tributable to their creators'
Midwestern upbringing.
There's such a glut of that he-
man. high-tech robot stuff that a
good story with interesting
characters and a little message, like
follow your own heart,' or goodness
always prevails,' really is
refreshing." said Harns. 33. who

"There's so much cheap and
cheesy stuff out on television and
video that's designed just to sell a
toy, that's it's wonderful to see
something that's done well," says
Mrs. Charren. " And when it’s ter-
rific for kids, adults are going to en-
joy it too.”
In its first week on the home video
market, '"A Mirthworm Mas-
querade" was No. 13 on Billboard
Magazine’s chart of Top Kid Video
Sales. The inventory sold out in two
weeks and it fell off the chart.
"The neat thing is we don’t write
for kids. We write to entertain
ourselves,” says Reynolds, of
Bloomington. "We're really looking
for the family audience — something
everybody can sit down and watch.
The best kind of cartoons were the
ones — like Bullwinkle — that
operated on a number of levels.”
Reynolds and Harns met in the
late 1970s while working at WTTV in
Indianapolis. After making a few
home movies, they decided to open a
business.
Animation seemed like the
logical choice since it was something
affordable for two people who had no
capital at all,” said Reynolds, who
does all the animation, music and
many of the voices for the Mir-
th worms

camera stand), no financial backing,
and a lot of negative feedback.
"People were saying we wouldn't
last a week." said Rey nolds, 35
They started working on "A Mir-
thworm Christmas" in 1982 with no
outside funding, continuing to pro-
duce commercials and public-
service announcements to keep them
alive When the special was finished

later, they still had no prospects of a
television sale.
But after Showtime pay-TV agreed
to buy the show for its Christmas 1984
season, the Nickelodeon cable-TV
service followed, as did a I-os
