A-8. Yazoo Daily Herald. Yazoo City, Tuesday. May 3. 1977 Guardsmen wavcli over demonsiravor tion.

Some of the protesters were observed exercising. There are no cots available, 1 1,11 By espkk Associated Press Writer CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -While 1,414 anti-nuclear pni! esters are in custody at four state armories. New Hampshire is paying about 500 National Guardsmen S35 per man perl day or close to $20,000 daily to watch over them. Then there's the yet-to-come food bill for the demonstrators, including catering service from Burger King for a fast-food dinner Monday night, from McDonald's for breakfast today, and for assorted other costs.

And not to mention the inconvenience to Guardsmen from their higher-paying civilian jobs to active duty. In most cases, they do not draw their civilian pay, although some provisions are made by individual employers, according to IDS il3LJ-rj V- (iuard officials. The protesters, most of them in their 20s, were arrested and arraigned on charges of criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor, after refusing to end a peaceful weekend camp-in at the construction site of the Sea-brook Nuclear power plant, about 50 miles east of this state capitol. They declined to post bail, which ranged from $100 to $500. The explanation for the colossal housekeeping headache is that this small state, with a population of less than one million, does not have jail facilities for confinement of such a large group' at one time.

Court authorities say hearings will be held as soon as they can be arranged. Robin Read, a spokesman for the Clamshell Alliance, which sponsored the demonstration, said the protesters plan to remain in custody until court hearings have been completed. The demonstrators were being confined Monday night in the drill sheds of the armories, which are assembly halls used also for athletics and recrea so the young men and women used sleeping bags. "Most of these people, when they moved into Seabrook, came well prepared with sleeping bags, blankets and tents," said Maj. Chris C.

Agrafiotis. the Guard's director of military support. "At the time of their arrest, they were allowed to bring all of their gear with them so they are well prepared to stay the night and any number of nights." An Associated Press newsman who went to the Concord Armory Monday night was not permitted to enter the 100-foot-long by 60-foot-wide assembly hall where nearly 300 of the demonstrators were being kept. The newsman was permitted to observe the group from a large window on the second floor, but noi photographs were allowed. Some of the protesters were clustered in a large circle, while others milled about in small groups.

are no armed guards, there are no weapons and there wqn't be," said Agrafiotis. "It was the governor's wish that this be a peaceful operation. The group assured us from the beginning that this would be a peaceful operation. The governor took them at their word. playing by their rules.

Moments later as we trudged along the trail with fishing gear Queen crossed the trail in front of us and the wolf suddenly appeared closing in on her. Several minutes later Queen I ran terrified from the Woods where we fished as the large grey animal pursued the dog from thick woods to a pond dam where she scampered to our side for safety.

It paraded in full view for a minute or So before trotting back into the woods out of sight. As we related the incident at the Tippah County Farm office, the county Bureau president J. W. Owen told of a similar encounter in the woods on his farm, only his wolf preferred to just sit and watch him at close range.

Yelling and beating the ground with a stick were meaningless to the wolf who simply sat gazing at the strange behavior of the man. Finally he got up and casually; walked away.

Mr. Houk and Mr. Ross have also visited in the Pickett home on numerous occasions and are remembered by many friends in the Yazoo area. A year ago introduced the E3 energy-efficient electric home. It was a new home-building concept which promised savings oh energy use for heating and cooling.

Experience of E3 homeowners has proven this promise has been kept. i i I The record-cold winter dramatically supported urgent appeal for more energy-efficient homes, both from the standpoint of keeping your heating and cooling bills less than they would be I i otherwise and conserving energy supplies, i i i 1 Any kind of energy-efficient construction is helpful and is encouraged. However, to achieve the maximum benefits, a new energy-saving electric home must meet all E3 construction standards. No home can qualify as an E3 home until it has met all of these standards and has passed the rigid inspection of an representative. Only then can that home carry the official E3 emblem.

Without this emblem it is not an E3 home and the homeowner cannot expect the maximum savings on heating and cooling costs.
