Method jiggles findings U.S. jobless rate up ROBERT NAYLOR JR. Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON The nation's unemployment was 6.7 percent in January, up. 0.3 percent from a month carlier, the government reported today. However, the increase was due mainly to a change in the way the job markets are surveyed.

The Labor Department said the unemployment rate was up from 6.4 percent to December, which was a three-year applying the standards used in, the net calculations, the December rate would have been closer to 7 percent, officials said. Using the old method, the January rate would have been 6.3 percent, a decrease from December. Today's report sent a mixed message on the health of the labor markets, principally because of a recalculation by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the unemployment rate. Job growth had been relatively strong in recent months as the economy continued its improvement on number of fronts. Today's report did indicate, however, that the pace of job creation has slowed InterestContinued from Page 1 federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other on overnight loans.

This was an increase from the 3 percent level where the funds rate had been since September 1992. Although the Fed had been widely expected to raise rates, financial markets were taken by surprise. Stock and bond prices fell sharply in the minutes after the news. David Jones, an economist at Aubrey G. Lanston said he expected the rates that consumers earn on their bank certificates of United States Unemployment 8.0 Percent of work force, seasonally adjusted A SO 1993 '94 Jan.

Government statisticians believed the changing American lifestyle, in which women are a growing part of the nation's workforce, rendered their previous sampling methods obsolete. They believed the old unemployment survey undercounted women, because of the way questions were structured and because it was not designed to count those who worked from home offices or who held part-time jobs and spent the rest of the day cooking and cleaning for their families. deposit to move up almost immediately, reflecting the higher rate. However, he said bank's prime lending rate, a benchmark for many business and consumer loans, would probably stay at 6 percent until the Fed nudges rates up another quarter-point, something that Jones said would probably occur before midycar. In the past, the Fed has not announced changes in the direction of the federal funds rate, leaving it to market watchers to guess at the Fed's intentions from its action in the bond market.

Ronald Reagan flew across the continent to accuse President Clinton of stealing his ideas and trying to rewrite the history of the Reagan Revolution. The occasion was a nostalgic, love-filled moment in Reagan's long public life, candlelit, red wine, black-tie and long-gown GOP dinner Thursday night to celebrate the 83rd birthday of a Republican icon and raise $5 million for the war against the Democrats.

Twenty-three hundred loyalists attended. Obituaries Verne D. Long-time, Hanford pharmacist. and drug store owner, Verne Carlstrom died unexpectedly early Thursday in a Hanford hospital at the age of 77. He was bom and raised in Kingsburg where he graduated from high school.

Mr. Carlstrom earned his B.S. degree from the University of California at Berkeley and went on to obtain his pharmacist's license in San Francisco. In 1942, while serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he married Marion Wallin of Kingsburg.

She died four years ago this month. The Carlstroms moved to Hanford in 1946 to become partners in LaMoine Drug Store. They bought the business from F.B. "Mickey" LaMoine in 1959 and sold it in 1981. He was a pharmacist from the old school.

After working an 11-hour day the Hanford man would deliver prescriptions after closing. Former patrons recall his eagerness to make sure they understood how the medication should be taken and if there were any side effects to be anticipated. At one time, when there was a shortage of pharmacists, Mr. Carlstrom worked seven days a week, saying that patients needed their medicines at once, not just Monday through Saturday. He kept up his pharmacist's license after retiring from his own business and worked a relief shift at H.U.H.S.

Reagan kidded about his age, but he showed it, too. His temples have turned unhideable gray. His voice has gone low, husky. It was the old Reagan, but an older Reagan. But he spoke for 25 minutes without a flub.

Under the twinkle lay serious business. Reagan came back to defend his eight-year piece of history. "Our friends in the other party will never forgive us for our success and are doing everything in their power to rewrite history," he complained. "Listening to the liberals, you'd think the 1980s Carlstrom CAl Doug's Dr for a number of years. Rather than being, a chore to do the studies necessary to remain active in his field, Mr.

Carlstrom often said he really enjoyed the challenge of studying to keep up on the latest in medicines. Always involved in community and civic affairs, Mr. Carlstrom was a charter member of the Hanford Kiwanis Club and was a familiar sight working at their annual fundraiser, the Mothers Day Breakfast at the Civic Auditorium. He also was an active member of the Hanford Navy League, Kings County Country Club and the Kings-Tulare Pharmaceutical Association. Shortly after World War II, he bought at his own not inconsiderable expense a film made during the war detailing "Hanford At War." That film later became a centerpiece of the city's Centennial celebration.

Mr. Carlstrom was a member of the First Presbyterian Church where he was an elder, member of the Jolly Ones and Twos, and currently was serving on the Enhancement Fund Committee. He was an avid golfer and football fan who never missed a game at Hanford High School this past year. Mr. Carlstrom was family oriented, was a photographer, loved to travel and, according to his family and friends, never met a stranger in any country.

He was a history buff who "soaked up facts," especially CARPET CLEANING 3 Rooms Hall Extra Rooms $10 each Hanford Janitorial Service 584-4791 FIRST IMPRESSIONS Complete Auto Detailing Give Your A New Car For Valentine's Day Only $9995 Call ask us how!

Then, dead serious, an ad lib not in his written speech: "I don't know about you, but I'm getting awfully tired of the whining voices from the White House these days." The Republicans stood up and cheered and clapped. More, too: the Democrats, Reagan said, were hijacking the revolution. It reminded him of the correlation between imitation and flattery, he said, "only in this case, it's not flattery, but grand larceny the intellectual theft of ideas that you and I recognize as our on recent trip to.
