By Jane Macartney United Press International PEKING -- A troupe of young Americans drew a crowd of 1,000 quietly curious Chinese as they demonstrated their frisbee skills in front of Peking's Forbidden City Sunday. "The China Flyer Friendship Tour hopes to contribute to world peace and international friendship through cultural and sporti ex­ change," said Ron Kaufman, 28, the balding, fast-talking Californian who organized the tour.. "Two people with a frisbee can draw a crowd in almost any country and that's when curiosity leads to contact, and then to friendship, with people all over the world," said Kaufman. Most of the people who will see the group during their two-week, six-city tour of China have probably never seen a frisbee, like many of those who gathered in front of Pe­ king's Forbidden City Sunday. "These are the people we are hop­ ing to meet," said Kaufman. • * A fine mess Larry Harmon (aka Bozo the Clown) appears as Stan Laurel as he dusts off the star of Oliver Har­ dy on Hollywood Blvd., Monday.

Girl stays calm, survives shark attack United Press International CHARLESTON. S.C. -- A 10-year-old girl survived a shark attack, staying calm until her father freed her leg from the fish's jaws and threw her into a rubber boat, authorities said Saturday. The 6-foot shark struck Julie Steed as she was swim­ ming with her family just before dark Friday at Folly Beach. "At first it was a little bitty bite. I didn't panic. I thought maybe it was a jellyfish," said the girl, who is recovering at Charleston's Roper Hospital from a 14- inch gash in her lower leg. "It kept biting and biting and then it started hurting really bad," she said from her hospital room Saturday, Julie's,(f£ther. pavid&teed of ,TifU>n..Ga., saU* i»i& daughter remained calm during the attack, allowing him to rescue her. s" "She's doing fine.

On Peak Alert days (like the hottest days of summer) there's an extra-high demand for electricity. And this demand tests our ability to provide the energy you need. If we announce a Peak Alert, it means we already have our thrifty coal and nuclear generators on the job. But even they can't provide enough electricity to meet everyone's needs. So we must also use generators that run on oil to meet the additional demand. Unfortunately, some fuels are more expensive than others. Oil-produced power costs about four times more than nuclear-generated power. And all of us pay lor that extra fuel expense in our electric bills. You can lower your energy bills this summer. y Every summer day. and especially when we've issued a Peak Alert, adopt some of these energy- saving, money-saving habits: If you stay indoors: • Set your air conditioner at 78° or J)igher. • Keep your curtains closed " so the sun's hot rays will stay outside. • Wash your clothes and run your dishwasher on a cool day. • Use all large appliances before 9 AM or after 10 PM. • Open your refrigerator only when necessary. Switch to outdoor activities. • Head to the beach or find a refreshing pool. • Dry your clothes outdoors. Added humidity inside your house only makes your air conditioner work harder • Cook on char­ coal (instead of the stove). Or don't cook at all--try a light sandwich or salads. Ask for our free Waste Watcher's Guide. It lists 101 things you can do to save energy every day. if you'll just switch your habits For your copy, write: Energy Information. P.O. Box 767, Chicago, IL 60690 And in the meantime, remember that when there's a Peak Alert, it pays to use less. e Commonwealth Edison »K 1° ,A • M Ji M iX ')( ,iA V>- \r.3, drf M TlV
