*     Net income per common share outstanding was used in the designated
      calculations since the dilutive effect of common stock options, stocks
      appreciation rights and assumed conversion of convertible debentures
      was either immaterial or antidilutive. All share and per share amounts
      have been adjusted retroactively for a three-for-one stock split
      effective November 17,1995.
