ITEM 1.  CHANGES IN THE PLAN

       The plan increased the number of eligible employees, changed the timing
of portfolio transfers, and changed the entry dates and the service credit
calculations from years of service to hours of service.  During 1993 the Plan
was amended to include an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") and is
designed to comply with the regulations of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan
financed the transaction with a loan of $2,444,144 from the Company.  The loan
bears interest of 7.04% and has a term of 15 years.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN INVESTMENT POLICY

       Participants may elect to have contributions credited to their accounts
in increments of 10 percent of the total contributions among the four
categories of investment funds described in Item 8.  A Participant's investment
election may be changed with respect to subsequent contributions on the first
day of January, April, July, or October in any year.  A Participant may request
a transfer of funds from one investment fund to one or more of the others at
anytime.
