If it rains Saturday, a decision on whether local volunteers should go out will be made by individual county coordinators. However, if local efforts are suspended Saturday the county coordinators are expected to reschedule the clean-up.

Energy Policy Council Director Ed Stanek told reporters that more than 8,000 volunteers will pick up trash and litter in Polk County, while even Ringgold County Iowa's lowest in population is expected to have 1,000 volunteers, or 16 percent of the county's population. Stanek said the Energy Policy Council has distributed to volunteers 225,000 plastic trash bags -one-third of them donated by the Coca Cola Corp. and Coors breweries and other materials, including 5,000 safety vests so motorists can see the crews. Stanek said the trash picked up will be separated according to cans and other litter, with the cans eventually picked up by Alcoa Aluminum Co. Other trash will be hauled to local landfills, Stanek said.

He said all materials recovered will be stored initially in state highway department garages. Gartner elected to ASNE board NEW YORK, N.Y.

Four exploded Tuesday. Town judged disaster area, wonders why By Tim Pallesen 17 Kntaht Nwjppr CLOUD LAKE, FLA. The federal government has declared Cloud Lake a "major disaster area." But the tiny town's 128 residents can't locate their disaster.

"I couldn't imagine what it was. Everything here looked fine," said Town Clerk Dorothy Gravelin after receiving the U.S. Department of the Treasury notification. Under the bold-type heading "Disaster Notice," it explained that the town, a few blocks tucked in just south of Palm Beach International Airport, had been "determined by the president to be a major disaster area." Gravelin asked neighboring towns if they'd received similar notices. They hadn't.

She telephoned the state capital, and then Washington, D.C. "None of us could figure it out," Gravelin said. She finally reached Liz Pattison, Florida coordinator in the U.S. Office of Revenue Sharing. "I had to check myself to see what it was," Pattison said.

She found that Cloud Lake's disaster was a crop freeze in January 1977. But Cloud Lake didn't suffer any crop damage, primarily because the nearest crops are 20 miles west. Pattison replied that that doesn't matter. "There's probably some indirect effect, like farmers who wouldn't be spending as much money in town," she said. federal government wants Cloud Lake to swallow its pride and admit its disaster.

"All they have to do is sign the form, say, 'Yes, the disaster had an effect on and mail ibin," Pattison said. Federal computers say Cloud Lake is eligible for exactly $22.61 in aid.

(AP) U.S. marshals Wednesday arrested the four remaining protesters who defied a federal order to leave a national wildlife refuge that they claim is rightfully theirs. Approximately 40 protesters on Friday began a peaceful occupation of the Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, which they said stands on land they or their ancestors once owned before being forced to sell to the federal government during World War IL The group of protesters had dwindled to four by this morning when they were arrested about 11 a.m.. by federal marshals without incident.

OMAHA, NEB. (AP) Like kids with a new toy, Sidney, officials laid plans to unveil their new snowplow Wednesday. It was a case of the little town that could. There won't be any bands or dancing girls as at least one official suggested, but Sidney is happy just the same.

It whittled the federal government down from a snowplow, building and airport plan costing more than $100,000 to a new truck with a blade on it and a price tag of a little over $20,000. "It's been a long time," said Dr. Jim Garcia, Sidney's mayor since December. "We got what we wanted, not what the government wanted us to." "We're playing it low-key because of possibly applying for more federal funding for different city programs. If we had a big deal over this, there could be hard feelings," he said.

The western Nebraska community of about 7,000 people battled the bureaucracy for more than 18 months before laying hands on a shiny new snowplow. It was desperately needed because the town's current airport snow removal machine, a 1936 truck with a blade on it, was on its last legs. What Sidney wanted, and finally got, was a snowplow, one costing about $25,000. But by the time the request for federal matching funds made its way through the bureaucracy, it had ballooned to more than $100,000. Federal Aviation Administration officials insisted that what Sidney needed was not only a snowplow, but a building to house it, which would require a new airport layout plan.

Sidney City Manager Merle Strouse said last fall there was no way Sidney wanted to spend that kind of money, its own or anybody else's. National attention forced the FAA to back down. What will the town do with the 1936 truck with the blade on it that served Sidney so well? "Probably a museum would be the best place," said one town official. "Maybe we'll bronze it and put it out in the park as a monument to the federal bureaucracy," said Strouse. Flack has whiplash NEW YORK, N.Y.
