The subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense

(Check box if appropriate)

[X]	 (a) 	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form 
          could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

[X]  (b) 	The subject annual report, on Form 11-K will be filed on or before 
          the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

                               PART III - NARRATIVE

Stated below, in reasonable detail, are the reasons why Form 11-K or the 
transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed 
time period: 

The Company was not able to file Form 11-K within the prescribed time period 
due to being unable to accurately reconcile certain amounts included in the 
statement of net assets available for plan benefits, statement of changes in 
net assets available for plan benefits, and the detailed schedule presented by 
fund for such statements to the respective amounts included in the trust 
statements provided by the Trustee.  As a result of this, the independent
accountants do not have the necessary information to complete their audit and 
to furnish their audit report by the due date prescribed in Form 11-K.

See attached Statement of Independent Accountants.

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 
    Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
    of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the 
    registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?  If answer is no,
    identify report(s).

	[ X ] YES	    [   ] NO

(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from 
    the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the 
    earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
    If yes, provide explanation of the anticipated change and state the reasons 
    why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

	[ X ] YES	    [   ] NO

A significant change in the statement of changes in net assets available for 
plan benefits from the corresponding period ended November 30, 1994 will be 
reflected in net additions to assets available for plan benefits for the year 
ended November 30, 1995, due primarily to an increase in employer 
contributions of $737,000, an increase in net appreciation in the fair value 
of investments of $1,386,000 and a decrease in withdrawal and termination 
distributions of $535,000.
