\r PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1974i CITY GAS SHORTAGE IN CRISIS STAGE (Continued from page 1) berg of Gordy's Phillips 66, who said his allotment ran out Jan. 12. He viewed the future gas situation dismally. Rehberg commented, "It's a problem for the station operator. You don't knows whether to pump it all in five days or ration it so it lasts until the end of the month". Tom Adams of Major Brands, an independent, feels the situation will ease up a little next month. His observation was made on Friday as he anticipated being able to supply customers ($3 a car) until Tuesday or Wednesday. Adams believes the gas has been in short supply in January because many stations took some of their month's allot­ ment in late December to ac­ commodate holiday travelers. He feels station owners are reluctant to remain open at"* night because the cost of operation, including lights, is much more expensive. Hester Oil, another in­ dependent, announced Friday it Would be open Monday to sell 2,00frgallons daily, which would allow the station to remain open the remainder of the month. Opening at 6 o'clock, the allotment for the day had been reached by about 9 a.m. The Hester station has had to hold back some of its gas in order to supply school buses and city vehicles for which the firm has contracted. Two or three loads promised failed to come through. Owner Dan Robson observed, "I think the situation will iron out over a period of time when people take a stand on this mandatory order". Guettler's Service, an in­ dependent station, announced that premium was gone the week of Jan. 15. Open only three hours a day, the owner hopes to "last until the end of the month". gas until the first ol {he month. "We're just hanging on by our repair work", he added. "Trade is up", Ketchum pid, and he believes it's because people used to run on empty tanks and now they have panicked and are running on full tanks. Ketchum believes stations will have to start rationing customers in the future to make the gas last all month. Richard Mercure, owner of Oaks Marathon on Crystal Lake road, had gasoline Friday and was just hoping it would last until the end of the month. Rationing to $3 a car, he commented philosophically, "I could sell it all and then' close but I want to still take care of my regular customers and keep the station open for my backroom (mechanical) work". At Elm Street Service, Jim Thompson expressed himself as "lucky" to get gas last week. He viewed the situation as "very bad". Thompson, however, feels there should be" improvement with the ^man­ datory order now in effect regarding allocations, and he is hopeful for the summer of *74. Two of the city's stations had no phone listed. There were no replies at others, apparently because they had been forced to close. Meanwhile, across from the Plaindealer office at least twenty cars were parked back as far as the intersection with Front street late Monday af­ ternoon. Drivers were awaiting their share of the gallons being pumped at the same time into the tanks of the Clark station. PHOTOGRAPHER JOINS WAIT (Continued from page 1) supply to check other area stations, this time for various prices. He noted only premium prices, with Saturday's high of sixty cents followed closely by 59.9 cents to a low of 49.4 cents. Ggyjlord concluded that it's Mrs. Guettler said the station no 'on8^ how many miles to has sold more between 3 and 6 the gallon, but how many miles p.m. than in an entire day before the situation reached crisis stage. She heard gasoline was plentiful in the Madison and Milwaukee areas. Morrie Ketchum of Morrie's Citgo said he would be out of to the dollar! CONSERVATION MEETING The McHenry County Con­ servation district has an­ nounced that final action is MUSIN" N1 MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) v ^electricity saved has been negligible, which also seemed apparent to the" "average" person before the change wjg^ made. Some politicians are still locking the barn after the horse is gonef Maybe that's why they're politicians. Conditions around the world are much the same if we are to judge by the note that ac­ companied a subscription renewal from Wm. J. Klap- perich in Vryheid, Natal, South Africa. He spoke of the gas shortage and reduction of speed from 80 to 50 miles an hour, strictly enforced. Gas stations close at 6 o'clock Saturday night and remain closed until 6 Monday morning, with very little Sunday driving. All prices are rising, including meat, but there is no shortage. The only big difference between Africa and the U.S.A. as far as we could determine is the weather. Mr. Klapperich describes the weather as "warm and flowers of every kind". That perennial weather prophet, the ground hog, will make his annual prediction this Saturday. But the wise old timers tell us that whether or not he sees his shadow, we'll have another six weeks of winter. And they're probably right!

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced primary details of a 1974 Rural Environmental Protection Measures on American farms and to encourage the development, management, and protection of non-industrial private forest lands. In December, the Depart­ ment announced the initial RECP funding level for calendar 1974 at $90 million, of which $10 was initially ear­ marked for the Forestry Incentives effort. The RECP, which carries forward some features of the old Rural Environmental Assistance program (REAP), is designed to share with far­ mers and forest landowners from 50 to 75 percent of the cost of carrying out approved forestry and conservation practices. Participation in this program is open to all eligible farmers regardless of race, religion, color, sex or national origin. The program is authorized by the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment act and the Agriculture and Consumer Protection act of 1973. The 1973^ act was signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon Aug. 10„ 1973. The program provides for both annual and EDNAROHDEN Mrs. Edna Rohden, 72,114 S. River Road, McHenry, died Sunday, Jan. 27, in McHenry hospital.

U n d e K l o n g - t e r m agreements, essential prac­ tices and practice cost-sharing will be scheduled over a period of 3 to 10 years. These agreement^ with farmers will be based on whole farm con­ servation plans which have been approved by appropriate officials. Requests for long- term agreements will be ac­ cepted only in cases where the farmer has an approved plan and has indicated he is ready to' carry out a scheduled practice during the current program year. The special Forestry In­ centives program phase erf RECP will apply only in counties to be specifically designated for this phase of the program. The counties will be designated by the state ASC committee after consulting with the state forester. Cost- sharing in these counties will be available to owners on non- industrial private forest lands for planting trees for timber production and for improving a stand of forest trees for timber p r o d u c t i o n . F o r e s t management plans developed by foresters in consultation with the landowners will be required as the basis for cost- sharing agreements for all forestry practices in the designated counties. Cost-sharing for regular forestry practices will also be offered in counties that are not designated for the special Forestry Incentives Program. In these counties forestry practices must also provide improved protection against wind or water erosion as well as provide for the production of forest products. Practices to be offered under the 1974 RECP for annual or long-term agreements, include establishing permanent vegetative cover; improving permanent vegetative cover; planting trees; improving a stand of forest trees; water impoundment reservoirs; stripcropping; constructing terrace systems; diversions; streambank stabilization; permanent wildlife habitat; sediment retention; erosion or water control structures; sediment, chemical or water runoff control measures; windbreaks or shelterbelts; and reorganizing irrigation systems. All are designed to provide enduring protection to soil and water resources. In addition, State and county committees will have the op­ portunity to develop, with appropriate justification, other practices needed to solve critical local conservation problems. A draft environmental statement has been filed with - the Council on Environmental Quality and circulated for agency and public comment. Program modifications will be considered based on comments received during the review period. Several USD A agencies are involved in the operation of the RECP. The program will be administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service through its fafirher-elected committee system. The Soil Conservation service will provide technical assistance and advice and recommenda tions on policies for soil and water conservation practices including con­ servation planning needed for long-term agreements. The Forest service will provide advice and recom­ mendations on policies for all aspects of forestry practices and technical service, in­ cluding planning assistance to the applicant. The Extension service will provide educational support and assistance for increasing the effectiveness of the program. need tax _ help? call IRS toll free No matter where you live, you can call the IRS toll free for tax assistance.
