Grandchild

Because of an editing error, an article in yesterday's Anne Arundel edition incorrectly stated that the grandchild of Betty Lou Johnson, born after she was shot to death last year in a botched robbery of the restaurant where she was working, is a boy. In fact, the grandchild, Morgan Johnson, is a girl.The Sun regrets the error.Pub Date: 9/05/97

Two classics have been elected to the National Toy Hall of Fame, just in time for your post-Thanksgiving shopping. And while you might be able to find dominoes tiles tomorrow, you'd be hard-pressed to find action figures from "Star Wars" anywhere but on eBay, selling right next to a box of endangered Twinkies. They were selected from among 12 finalists, and they beat out, among others, the game of Clue, the Magic 8 Ball, the pogo stick, sidewalk chalk and Twister. Since the Hall of Fame, located in Rochester, N.Y., began collecting toys in 1998, 51 have been inducted, including Play-Doh and Slinky and, in a tip of the hat to the power of a child's imagination, a stick and a cardboard box. (I am nominating measuring cups and water next year.)

The job market for the newly laid off and soon-to-be college graduates is the worst in years. So if you're one of those seeking but not finding work, what can you do? Consider volunteering. It's good for the soul, and, thanks to legislation recently passed by Congress and expected to be signed by the president, it could be good for your finances, too. The legislation would more than triple the size of AmeriCorps - sort of the Peace Corps here at home - and create two other volunteer programs geared for the oldest and youngest volunteers.

On the day his daughter gave birth to a girl, David R. Craig stepped down yesterday as a three-term mayor and ended his long career as an educator. Today, he will be sworn in as the Harford County executive. And later this month, he'll welcome the arrival of his first book. "I'm not run-down yet," the 56-year-old Craig said yesterday with a laugh. "My father always said he liked people with even tempers, even temperatures and an even disposition." Craig could use such wisdom as he prepares to take over the day-to-day operations of a county government serving 233,000 residents.
