Ice, Wide Load Cause Mishaps Icy conditions and a wide loaded truck were traffic hazards in EstherviUe Tuesday, according to EstherviUe Police Department. John T. Larsen, Hudson, was charged with driving left of center following an accident at 2:30 p.m. on Highway 4 at the railroad underpass on the south side of EstherviUe. Larsen was driving a 10-ton truck with a wide load of farm machinery and in traveling north through the underpass was reported to have swung left of center.

His vehicle collided with a southbound car driven by John Dale Carlson, EstherviUe. The Carlson automobile, a 1969 model, was damaged at the left front and right side. At 3:55 p.m. cars operated by Thomas Roger Schmidt, Ottumwa, and David Wayne Cramer, EstherviUe, collided at an intersection. Schmidt was traveling south on South 18th Local Citizens Opportunity To Discuss Iowa's Future An act of the Iowa General Assembly in March 1972 authorized and requested the Governor of Iowa to arrange a comprehensive, statewide conference on Iowa's future.

In the first half of 1974 Iowans will be discussing issues that will be of concern for the future of Iowa, both short range and on to the year 2000. The focus will be on four issues energy, natural resources, economic development and life enhancement. The first mass launching of this program will occur on Sunday, Jan. 13 with a one-hour 'Statewide Test on the Future of Iowa' to be telecast on commercial and public television stations in Iowa. The program will be narrated by network newscaster (and native Iowan), Harry Reasoner.

In addition to its contribution to knowledge and interest, the TV program will inform the mass audience of the over-aU concept of this ambitious program. Later this winter, Emmet County citizens wUl have an opportunity to discuss the "Future of Iowa," according to Gene Rullestad, Emmet County Extension Director. A county committee is being formed that wiU assist in preparing subject matter materials arid to serve is resource people for the different areas of concern. These materials will be available for at- home living room discussions (bringing together a small group of neighbors), club meetings, service clubs, etc. Rullestad suggests that, if possible, watch the TV program, 'The Future of Sunday, then get in touch with him at the Extension office if you would like to participate in local discussions.

Congressman Wiley Mayne was the principal speaker Tuesday night at a dinner meeting of Iowa Lakes Community College Veterans ADVANCE students, which was held at Garrigan High School at Algona. Several hundred veterans, their wives, faculty members and guests heard Mayne make brief remarks from a prepared text, then participate in a question and answer period that lasted until nearly 10 p.m. The congressman, who is touring the Sixth District during the current holiday recess of congress, stated in his prepared remarks that at the federal level "money is being spent like it is going out of style" and that there are people benefitting from these millions of dollars "who are not a hundredth as deserving as the country's veterans, who responded to their country's call in time of crisis." A substantial hike in veterans' educational benefits was predicted by Mayne, who estimated that the increase may likely be between 8 and 15 per cent in order to keep pace with cost of living spirals. In answer to a question from the floor relating to a possible two-year extension of the eight- year educational eligibility for veterans whose eligibility will expire in May of 1974, Mayne told his listeners that he had been in contact with Veterans Administration Director Don Johnson and others in the Administration seeking such an extension since the Iowa Lakes ADVANCE program has been available for only one year. Several questions from veterans concerned the energy crisis, whether there would be controls to prevent profiteering by oil companies, whether there is in fact a genuine energy crisis, and what steps can be taken to insure that such a crisis does not occur again in the future.

Mayne responded to the energy questions by stating that he personally felt that congress should not have adjourned on Dec. 22, but should have stayed in session to hammer out an effective energy bUl. He added that energy legislation that was presented in the final hours before adjournment did not have the unified support of the committee that prepared the bill and that more than a hundred amendments proposed came from committee members themselves. Mayne stated that the first order of business when Congress reconvenes will be the enactment of "tough legislation against excess profits." The increase in petroleum products that has been felt recently across the nation is due in part, according to Mayne, because of the fact that oil imports, that constitute 15 per cent of the country's total supply, have increased 400 to 500 per cent. Mayne said part of the blame for the present crisis can be laid to over-zealousness of ecologists who, for example, opposed the Alaska pipeline project for three years, and compulsory emission controls that have been wasteful of gasoline.

When questioned as to whether, during his present tour of the district, he was sampling the opinions of his constituents about presidential impeachment, Mayne replied that as a member of the House Judiciary Committee, he felt he would be violating a trust if he were to be influenced by any factor- other than hard, factual evidence as presented to the committee, and that a determination on whether there should be impeachment proceedings should not be based on opinion polls of the nation's press. In introducing Congressman Mayne, Richard H. Blacker, Superintendent of Iowa Lakes Community College, explained how the ADVANCE program was started and how it is the only such community college program in the state that is taking educational opportunities to the veteran. He said that there are currently 278 veterans in Area HI now enrolled in night classes being held in centers at Algona, Swea City, Emmetsburg, EstherviUe and Spencer. The program enables veterans to attend college as full time students while still employed fuU time at their regular employment.

Claude Merideth is coordinator for the ADVANCE program, supervising activities at all five centers in the area. The dinner meeting was arranged by a committee of veterans from all of the centers, with Robert Bachman of Algona as chairman of the central planning committee. Other members were Robert Ringsdorf, Algona; Jack Andeits and Dr. James Roberts, EstherviUe; Ken Ordiway and Ron Seaman, Emmetsburg; Eugene Nemmers and Gerald Thompson, Spencer; and Mrs. Mary Schwade and Foster Hartman of Swea City.
