One favorite addition, according to Koss Stereophones of Milwaukee, Is the hi fi stereo system. In the above photo, one vanning couple enjoys their favorite music without disturbing the tranquility of the campsite while their friends share conversation and roast hot dogs. Fred Blumenthal, president of the National Street Van Association, says that 80 percent of the 2.5 million custom vans on the rood in the U.S. today are equipped with stereo sound systems, with 42 percent of those sporting stereo headphones for private, personal listening.

Florence Miller was the program chairman. Mrs. W. E. Haney presented a paper on Arthur Fiedler, 83-year-old conductor of the famous Boston Pops Orchestra.

As a conductor, Fiedlers philosophy has been, All music is good music except the boring kind, Mrs Haney said. For 50 years Fiedler has been playing unboring music and has sold more than 50 million records, has conducted orchestras all over the world and has gathered more honors than he can count. In conclusion Mrs. Haney said, Arthur Fiedler takes great pride in having brought the experience of good music to millions of people. He has played to some of the largest audiences ever gathered anywhere.

A second paper on Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone With the Wind, was given by Mrs. Lowell James. Margaret Mitchell was born in Atlanta, where she was graduated from Washington Seminary and went to Smith College with the intention of becoming a physician. Between 1926 and 1936 she wrote Gone With the Wind. It was written in chaotic fashion, the last part first, and the manuscript piled up without method or completeness, Mrs.

James said. She was in a way unburdening herself of the immense accumulation of minute information of prewar, war and postwar days poured into her ears from childhood. In 1935 H. S. Latham, Macmillan Companys vice president, was so impressed by the book that he arranged for its publication the next spring.

The book sold as many as 50,000 copies in a single day and two million copies by 1939, has been translated into 16 languages, has been transcribed in Braille and in 1940 was made into a movie which broke all attendance records. Miss Mitchell was killed Aug. 16, 1949 when she was crossing the street to meet her husband, John R. Marsh, Mrs. James related.

Mrs. Albert Dreyer, president, presided at the business session. The hostesses served refreshments to the 18 members present. members and guests. The next meeting of the club will be April 25.

An AP News Analysis By WALTER R'. MEARS AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) When the pollsters ventured out to take their first soundings on the 1976 presidential campaign, Jimmy Carters name didn't even make the list of prospects.

That should be fair warning that nothing counts until the competition begins. Still, off-season surveys can point up political problems, and a new Associated Press-NBC News poll indicates that President Carter has had his share perhaps more. One of them shows up when people are asked, in effect, what they would 5 W-Kv-v Hospital Tuesday, March 28 51 patients, 2 babies Those giving permission for their names to be reported are: Admitted Arthur Mott, Gas; Lula Garrison, LaHarpe; Leta Bartholomew, Kincaid; Vera Hampton, Etta Butts, Minnie Canady, Edna ONeal, Michael Williams, James Collins, all of Iola.

again today The narrowed gap between the Democratic president and the defeated Republican is an apparent reflection of dissatisfaction with Carters performance in office. The AP-NBC News poll showed that 33 percent of the people rate Carters performance excellent or good, while 64 percent says the job he is doing is only fair or poor. An AP-NBC News sampling of opinion about a presidential primary match between Carter and California Gov. Jerry Brown gives the president a commanding margin among Democrats. The numbers: Carter 58 percent, Brown 23 percent, with the rest withholding judgment and a few saying theyd prefer other candidates.

The margin of error is 5 percent either way, but in any event, Carter is comfortably ahead. When people who identify themselves as independents are asked the same question, 42 percent prefer Carter, 31 percent favor Brown. Overall, counting Democrats, independents and Republicans, 46 percent favor Carter, 28 percent favor Brown. A sampling of Republican sentiment, in a poll which has a 7 percent margin of error, shows Ronald Reagan atop the list of prospects for the 1980 nomination. Ford is close behind.

The AP-NBC News poll presented Republicans with a list of names, and asked which they would support in a presidential primary election. The ranking: Reagan 43 percent; Ford 35 percent; Senate Republican Leader Howard H. Baker Jr. 7 percent; former Texas Gov. John B.

Connally 5 percent; former Ambassador George Bush 2 percent; Sen. Robert J. Dole of Kansas, the 1976 vice presidential nominee, 2 percent; others or not sure 6 percent. When Democrats and independents are asked to rate the same Ustjof prospects, Bakers stock jumps sharply. Among all voters, he is favored by 18 percent, still third, but a lot closer to Reagan, who is supported by 27 percent, and Ford, who gets 28 percent backing.

The answer: they would still elect Carter over Republican Gerald R. Ford, and by about the same 3-percentage-point margin. In a poll of 1,604 adults conducted March 21 and 22, Carter was favored by 46 percent, Ford by 43 percent. The rest said they wouldnt vote or didnt know. Thats a lot closer than the hypothetical matchup has been since Carter defeated Ford and entered the White House.

Last November, for example, a similar poll showed Carter with an 18-percentage point margin over Ford. In January, Carters margin was 12 points. daily diet, said the General Accounting Office report. They are confused, uninformed and lacking in confidence about what they eat. In fiscal 1976, the year the congressional watchdog agency selected for review, the Department of Agriculture spent $63.5 million and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare spent $5.8 million for nutrition pamphlets, bulletins, handbooks and educational materials.

But the auditors said neither department has determined what consumers need to know or how best they can be informed. One study cited by the investigators found that the publications were poorly written or that nutrition publications intended for the general public and for low-income and under-educated citizens are often written at upper high school and college reading levels." Even if the government writers produce something informative, consumers may not learn of it, the auditors said. "Agency officials say that if the public finds out about a specific publication, it may ask for it, and consumer demand for that item may be greater than the agencys publications budget can handle. Consequently, agency officials may avoid widely publicizing such publications among their intended audiences. Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland said the report was an accurate assessment of the previous administrations fragmented information dissemination system.

But he said his department has taken measures to rectify the situation. YOUR CHOICE With Mathd Chicken With Moshed With WASHINGTON AP) The federal government spends about $70 million a year to inform the public about nutrition. But it doesnt know whether the material is useful and sometimes even tries not to let people know whats available to them, government auditors report. Many consumers do not know or do not understand how to select and prepare foods that provide a sound Volunteer firemen called to two blazes yesterday Volunteer firemen responded to two calls yesterday. The first was a grass fire two miles south of Iola near the viaduct.

The grass fire occurred about 4 p.m. The exact cause is inknown but firemen said sparks from a passing train could have ignited the dry grass. About firemen were called to the home of Delmar Sarver, five miles west and one-half mile south of Iola. A small building attached to a garage caught fire. The cause and damage were unknown.

kicked it shut to be sure the wind would not blow it open. They sat on the porch with the blizzard raging around them. Mrs. Kimble estimates they sat there two or three hours. Finally, she began to beat the metal door with her hands and feet, kicking a hole large enough to crawl through with Timothy.

Rescuers would not tell her, but her son apparently was dead when they arrived. When the coroner came, he confirmed the boys death. Mrs. Kimble was taken to New Castle Hospital, where her frostbitten skin began to turn black. Last month, she was transferred here.

Frostbite is much like a bum but it progresses, said Dr. David Larson, the plastic surgeon treating Mrs. Kimble. "It freezes the tissue and vessels. Its difficult to tell whether theyre dead or alive.

Friends have started a fund to help pay medical bills. She has medical coverage that pays approximately 80 percent, but the medical expenses are running at least $200 per day. I know that some day Ill get out of here, but I cant stand the waiting, she said. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Two months after a blizzard trapped her outside, Teresa Kimble is still hospitalized, undergoing both physical and psychological therapy. The cold killed her infant son and forced amputation of her feet, fingers, thumbs and part of her buttocks.

Doctors say Mrs. Kimble, 23, will be in the hospital at least four more weeks to be fitted with artificial limbs. All that is left of her hands are stubs. Why take my baby? asked Mrs. Kimble, about her 20-month-old son, Timothy.

He didnt do a thing wrong and I didnt do nothing wrong. I wish God had taken me instead. I wish I stayed inside the trailer and thought to turn the oven on in the kitchen. On Jan. 26, the blizzard had stranded Michael Kimble in Indianapolis where he works.

His wife awoke at 3 a.m. in their rural Shirley mobile home and noticed the trailer was cold. The wind had blown out the heaters pilot light. Mrs. Kimble could not relight it.

She decided to take Timothy and try to make it to the safety of her husbands grandmothers house located only 50 yards away. But the snow and wind drove them back. The baby was so scared, Mrs. Kimble said in a recent interview. He cried and screamed and wouldn't hold still." They tried to get back in the trailer, but the door was stuck.
