Both stressed at the breakfast gathering at the Fontainebleau Hotel that only with all elements of the party working together could Nixon be defeated. With cooperation, they said, there was no doubt about the outcome. "We're going to win one of the most sweeping and dramatic victories in the country," said McGovern. He pledged to mesh his widely praised organization of volunteers with the 4 regular Democratic party apparatus I while striving reach an 'accommodation with big labor -which opposed McGovern's nomination and has threatened to sit out the election. This was much the same kind of message he gave to the delegates themselves early today in a "speech climaxing the convention-ending near 3:30 EDT after a lengthy session that also featured a dramatic introduction speech by Edward Mv Kennedy and appearances on the jampacked rostrum by most of McGovern's major foes in the battle for the nomination.

McGovern plans to spend about two weeks vacationing in his beloved Dakota Black Hills, stopping off in Washington later today for an overnight stay before heading to his home state. Meanwhile, disbanding began quickly of a small standby army of GIs flown in for duty in event of trouble by demonstrators. They were never needed. As Mcgovern moved into his party unifying effort, with the "unity breakfast," members of the Dernocratic congressional establishment introduced the SANTA new team at the breakfasts and vowed their support to them. House Speaker Carl Albert noted McGovern's previous service in the House and said "You are a colleague of all of us." Albert told the South Dakotan that he had already "confounded" the pundits and politicians by capturing the nomination.

Democrats, asserted Albert, should not now be intimidated by the heavily financed and computerized campaign the GOP. has, readied for the fall. "George," said Albert, "Nixon may have the computers, he may have the bank accounts. You have the people and you're going to win." The financial straits of the Democrats was underscored by the breakfast menu -an "informal" fare limited to juice, coffee and bite size pastries. The affair was sponsored by the Senate and House Campaign Committees, both of which help raise money for Democratic candidates running for Congress.

1972 At the convention, McGovern contended that America's discontent with Nixon's Vietnam and economic policies would win the White House for the Democrats. In an acceptance speech delivered while most of the nation slept, McGovern sought to overcome a point of vulnerability in his own program-the Republican charge that his proposal to cut $30 billioh from the Pentagon budget by 1975 would leave America weak and its allies frightened. "American will keep its defenses alert and fully sufficient to meet any danger," if he is elected, McGovern promised. But whether the Democrats would go all out to help him-or seek to save their own hides if Nixon looks invincible as the election approached -remained in doubt. As they drifted away toward home, delegates appeared concerned about McGovern's chances of upsetting a popular president who believes he can make both the economic issue and the war issue work in his favor.

The fee schedule for general refuse will be 75 cents per load for cars or station wagons; $1 for up to two cubic yards and 50 cents per yard above that for pickups and cars with trailers; for two-axle trucks of a ton or larger, $2.50 and $5, depending on the depth of the load; for three-axle trucks, $3.75 and $7.50 depending on the depth; $7.50 for semi-trailers; and 50 cents, a cubic yard for "unusual containers."

The cat left. Time jpast in the morning and it came again, outside the caged pheasant area. Running low and fast the cat made an approach to the chicken hut and was met with a single report.it was all over with one shot. In the afternoon her hands were still shaking, for Mrs. Blankevoort is a grandmother and she didn't want to kill.

They both made a choice, one to eat and one to protect. The cat was a female and Mrs. Blankevoort said it appears the cat was full size, in good health, but was not nursing kittens. It was a beautiful cat, she said, and the plans to have it made into a rug, maybe as a compensation for the ducks and chickens, and as a reminder to a grandmother's will to protect her flock.
