The Palladium-Item and Sun-Telegram, Richmond, Tuesday, Jan. 16, 1968 Eaton Man's Fried Chicken Method Turns Into Business Of Over $1 Million Country Divided Into Areas For Air Pollution Control WBMm Jaith WASHINGTON (UPI) The federal government divided 48 by Harold Blake Walker states into eight air pollution areas Monday as the first step under a new law permitting federal courts to restrict traffic versions, the atmospheric occurrences in which a layer of warm air above an area traps pollutants below it, causing a health hazard. New York City suffered under one late in November, 1966. In each of the areas, climate, and close industries in an air pollution emergency. The Health, Education and Welfare Department must take meteorology and topography are several more steps before states about the same.

Areas Given The areas are: The Great Lakes northeast, which ranges from all of New England to Minnesota; Mid-Atlantic-coastal, which ranges down the Atlantic Someone noted facetiously and yet with wisdom that as soon "as we're born we begin to die." We encourage the wearing out by the tempo of our lives. Curiously enough the New Testament listing of the sins of the 1st century strikes a contemporary note. In the 1st century drivenness, nervousness, fear, rebelliousness, the flattening of thought, and the disintegration of community were in the cultural air. All of these, obviously, have been intensified and multiplied by what somebody called "the butterfly culture of our time." Those of us who have come to the midstream of life, or moved beyond it, are aware that the "outer nature is wasting away." The stairs obviously are steeper than they used to be and the days are considerably longer. The trip home from the Loop is more protracted and committee meetings are a test of endurance.

The things we used to enjoy are more chore, less joy. It is just a matter of the arithmetic of the years bringing physical changes that leave us more exhausted by the routine of things than we used to be. Of course our drivenness and fear and the sense of aloneness against the world have contributed to the wasting process. In the midst of our struggle for the mastery of outer space most of us are not aware that while the obvious challenge in the world today is in outer space, the less obvious but more significant challenge is in what might be called "inner space" where we learn to cope with the pressures and tensions that erode our emotional and hence our physical competence. By Max Knight EATON, Ohio An Eaton Ohio, business that started with an idea and little capital in 1956, now has grown into a million-dollar enterprise and one that virtually circles the globe.

The company is the Henny Penny owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Chester Wagner of Eaton. The Wagners are well remain-bered by area residents for their restaurant, The Whispering Oak, that was closed in 1960. The Henny Penny Corp.

was formed around one idea, a new method for frying chicken. "I found that the process of frying chicken at the restaurant was time consuming and erratic," said Wagner. "For several months I worked on an idea of deep fat pressure frying and finally perfected it in 1955. That pressure fryer was used in The Whispering Oak until we closed our doors," he added. The first sale of the new pressure fryer was made to the Homestead Hotel, Hot Springs, in 1956, soon after Wagner demonstrated the fryer before the equipment committee of the will be required to apply "air quality standards" to deal with air pollution on a regional basis.

Monday's action was primarily procedural, a spokesman for HEW said. The law's real power will come into play after the designation of air control regions, each with its own antipollution program, he said. The eight atmospheric areas defined by the department were fixed by research on the speed and direction of winds and on the occurrence of thermal in- Coast to part of North Carolina; South Florida; Appalachian, which stretches from Pittsburgh miSSKtM III lis 1 WS86v. trro i ii MA mustM to New Orleans; Great Plains, ranging from Northeastern Illinois to most of Texas; Rocky Mountain, stretching from the western two-thirds of Montana to all but the coastal strips of Oregon and California; Califor nia-Oregon coastal and Washing ton coastal.

(AP) Volunteer firemen watching a poverty in Hong Kong and came away with an extremely depressed feeling. "Charity in Hong Kong is hopeless," said Wagner. "You put out five pennies and you start a riot. Beggars there are like sparrows here at Eaton when you put out birdseed." But Tokyo was different. A mixup had occurred in room reservations and when they finally settled for the night they were in a Japanese room, complete with a low ceiling, beds on the floor, straw mats on the floor to sit on, an all-wood bathtub, rice filled pillows and a table three inches off the floor.

"It was unique for us," laughed Mrs. Wagner, "but I cannot say we did not enjoy it, simply because it was different." The stop in Hawaii was to relax although Wagner spent several part-days with T. H. Da-vies, the Henny Penny distributor there. Wagner is a native of Eaton, attended Ohio State University and married into the poultry business in 1934.

He worked for his father-in-law for awhile but left it to sell cream for a dairy. He helped his mother start Mrs. Wagner's Colonial Kitchen. She had operated a restaurant at U.S. 40 and U.S.

He will work the outlets in a schooling program for employes and assist in promoting the by-products of the company to the housewife. His most prized possession from his first trip was secured at the Sidney Rotary Club when Wagner was given the daily award for coming the farthest distance as a visiting Rotarian.

Pressed for money, the agency has junked a 1970 pure sci endanger NASA's intention to get Americans in space again after a 20-month pause, and the ence research flight using secret reconnaissance photography techniques. The decision to scrap the flight was made Dec. 27 but acknowledged only and soundproofing material blazed unacceptably. Wednesday, testing resumes with the ship filled with a mix of 60 per cent oxygen and 40 per cent nitrogen, intended to keep overheated wiring from so easily triggering fires. The air we breathe is 78 per cent nitrogen, 21 per cent oxygen and the rest, traces of rare gases.

Pure oxygen is food for fire, but was used safely in pre-Apol-lo, Mercury and Gemini flights. NASA defended it strongly in the probe after the fatal blaze. Oxygen requires less plumbing than a mix, making for a lighter spacecraft and simpler spacesuits. The agency said Monday that "enriched air" is merely an option to its scientists, and that, in any case, spacecraft will be filled with pure oxygen, once in orbit. There, a fire could be put out instantly by letting the oxygen rush into the vacuum of space.

Mapping Moon Designated Apollo Applications Program Flight 1A, its original missions included mapping the moon, photographing the earth and biology and astronomy experiments.

The moon mapping plan was dropped because the lunar orbit-er program was so successful, and because the Defense Department, which helped design the instruments to be used, argued that the peace-oriented space program might be damaged by borrowing reconnis-sance techniques developed for secret military satellites. The same argument was used against earth photography plans. AAP, the only pure science project in the space program, got $75 million less from Congress last year than the agency asked, and an estimated $50 million from the cancelled flight 1A will be used to maintain research for later AAP flights in which used-up rocket stages will be used as orbiting workshops and observatories. President's Freeze Lifted, Reservoir Work To Resume the P-H-T Fryer patent. This came about due to a legal patent controversy that yet is unsettled.

From that first sale in 1956, Wagner now has franchises in Canada and all corners of the United States, including Hawaii. And he has expanded overseas, having franchises in England and his latest venture, Australia. The Australian franchise was completed a couple weeks ago and Mr. and Mrs. Wagner returned to Eaton on Jan.

5. The Steggles Poultry Proprietary (company) at Beresfield, New South Wales, holds the Henry Penny franchise. Steggles has one of the largest producing and processing plants in Australia and is considered the leading distributor in the country. They sell poultry strictly for meat, no eggs. The Steggles company has purchased 11 units and will be the exclusive franchise holder of the pressure fryer in Australia.

But to sell the fryer, Wagner and his wife, Mary, took their patent arid trademark counsel from Cincinnati, James Hight, with them on the trip. They went to Australia by way of Hawaii, West Samoa and New Guinea, arriving at Sidney at 9 p.m. on a Sunday night, as Mrs. Wagner said, "Sick enough to die, but too far from home to do so." When they left Eaton the temperature read 20 degrees above zero. When they landed in Sidney it was a smothering 100 degrees.

While Hight worked with attorneys in Sidney, Wagner worked with Steggles in learning how to operate not only the pressure fryers but also the mechanics of setting up the franchise. To do this, the Wagners went to Newcastle by train, 104 miles away, the location of the Steggles plant. Hight joined them there. They were impressed with the Steggles plant, calling it the cleanest and best poultry plant they had ever visited. Locations of a franchise store were discussed and different sites visited.

Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Steggles, at whose home the Wagners stayed, accompanied them on these drives and they served more than one purpose. Not only were sites visited, but the Wagners had an excellent opportunity to see Australian life as few visitors get to see it. "I have never felt as much at home in a foreign country," said Mrs.

Wagner. "The people are very friendly and home life there is like I remember it as a girl at Fort Wayne in the 1920s." They found it was hard to get news from home and when the airliner recently crashed at Cincinnati, they were concerned because their son, Mike, who lives in Hartsville, often flies in and out of Cincinnati. They finally called home to find out what happened and to make sure Mike and his family were not on the plane. Wagner, who is extremely interested in politics and the world situation, said the main comment in Australian editorials concerned fear over the American dollar. "Our dollar in Australia is worth only 87 cents," said Wagner.

"And, in fact, they do not want our money and we exchanged it quickly for Australian currency." After completing all that could be done on this first trip, the Wagners headed for home by way of Hong Kong, Japan and Hawaii. They were appalled by the BROOKVILLE Resumption of work on the Brookville Reservoir was anticipated here Monday when it was announced the President's freeze on some public works spending was lifted. The announcement that the freeze was removed was made other water resources projects throughout the nation. Sen. Birch Bayh, a member of the Senate Public Works Committee, wrote the President Jan.

5 asking that the freeze be lifted. Bayh said the freeze affected projects with a federal cost share of more than $44 million in Indiana, although Brookville Reservoir was the only one on which work had actually stopped.
