(a)  Includes impact of the cumulative effect of a change in the method of
     accounting for impairment of long-lived assets in 1995, postemployment
     benefits in 1994 and income taxes in 1993.  (See Note 6 to the Consolidated
     Financial Statements in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.)

(b)  Fully diluted earnings per share generaly are determined by dividing
     earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, assuming
     redemption of the preference shares for common stock.  However, redemption
     was not assumed in 1995 since it would have resulted in an increase in
     earnings per share.
