i P( 22A THE WICHITA EAGLE Thursday May 24 1973 Equipment Sales Go On Undiminished Are Feeling Fuel Pinch we have had previously and the last I heard was that we taking on any new Durham said T1IE POSSIBILITY of a shortage of liquefied propane (LP) gas remains according to a spokesman at Earle Wright Jr LP Gas He said there has been no increase in the number of customers serviced and added that he the company will be able to continue serving those persons A-One Propane Gas Co is to take care of our old customers" a spokesman for the company said However he added there is already a shortage of LP gas have about 80 per cent of the amount we had last 1 A decrease nor increase in sales of farm equipment and would make no comment on whether sales personnel are advising urchasers of the possible ifficulty in obtaining fuel HOWEVER SPOKESMEN for two major oil companies said this morning there will be a definite problem in supplying new diesel customers Rationing of diesel fuel was begun' last winter by some companies have pretty much a set policy in that we decided we could take care of customers We have had Rod Taylor public affairs representative for American Oil Co at Kansas City said Representatives of the company met with each distributor and through his accounts from last Taylor said will sell the agent 100 per cent of what he sold last year but we will not accept new customers is just not enough to go around we are running he continued feel a moral obligation to take care of the customers we have had in the past and if we accept new customers that would mean we could not take care of our regular The policy of Phillips Petroleum Co is much the same George Durham public information officer for Phillips at Bartlesville Okla explained are going to do everything in our power to accommodate the customers Stiff Photo Some By GLENDA HOLDER and JIM VEON Staff Writers Despite the fuel shortage and reports of difficulty in obtaining fuel farmers apparently are going ahead with planned equipment purchases However farmers who switch from gasoline to diesel-burning equipment face a special problem At least two major distributors of diesel fuel are limiting their sales to regular customers A shortage of gasoline and other farm 'fuels couldn't have come at a worse time according to farmer Gary Harms of Whitewater Harms who recently had been refused a shipment of gasoline by his usual supplier said a critical shortage of fuels could keep farmers from completing their normal production and harvesting cycle Harms said his normal supplier of farm fuels was Frank Epp owner of the Deep Rock outlet at Elbing Kan Epp said Harms' order was not the only one he had refused earepeople around here crying for he explained EPF DESCRIBED his position as being a rock and a hard The suppliers he explained have limited his shipments to a quota based on his last sales Sales at the outlet last year totaled about 800000 gallons Vm i El) PETTIT AND SAMPLE PYRAMIDS Three-week-old steak preserved Ed Pettit has this thing about pyramids He says they drlay rot enhance growth and heal cuts But he selling pyramids or even kits to construct pyramids He simply likes to talk about the casual experimenting he has done and the extraordinary results he is discovering Pettit Oklahoma City an inventor who has sold camera equipment devices to Kodak 1 was in Wichita Wednesday to address the Wichita UFO Study Club ALWAYS been fascinated by them (pyramids)" Pettit said in a telephone interview my wife bought the book Discoveries Behind the Iron and it included a portion on pyramids and basic Pettit said he constructed a small pyramid and among other things discovered that if he placed a razor blade in it aligned north and south the blade sharpens He has placed sunflower plants in hu pyramids and they grow like weeds He bought some standard tomato plants from a store (' put them in a pyramid until after the frost season then lanted them They are the Ithiest tomato plants in his arden already bearing ilooms he says definitely some riwer in pyramids although cant really explain what it is" he said even detected some healing power in he added Pettit explained that he cut his thumb nearly to the bone on a power saw Ignor- ing his advice to see a doctor he put his hand under a small cardboard pyramid for IS minutes a night for three nights It healed he said leaving 1 only a trace of a scar I have a sinus he told about 125 persons attending his lecture at the Twentieth Century Club just go into a pyramid and close the door for 10 or 15 PETTIT HAS dozens of celebrating hope to put it in water one day and see if it will come back as a nice tender he said in an interview before the lecture Later he told the audience that one experiment with the meat ended in disaster when the family dog ate it ate the first piece of mummified meat in a long he quipped In other experiments Pettit has placed onions and garlic in the large pyramids and closed the door I went in later there was absolutely no smell When we brought the garlic out it smelled up the room in a matter of Pettit also purifies water by setting containers in a pyramid He used it for his plants and claims they do better with it and for his iron apparently with no adverse effects PETTIT TOLD the audience that the power in tin pyramid seems to rest a third of the way up from the base and- directly below the apex pyramids in his home and workshop ranging from six inches to six feet and constructed of various materials He said 200 or 300 persons have visited him many of them asking to sit in the large pyramids say the air seems fresher and cooler and they feel cut off from the neighborhood" Pettit told the audience He said he has slept in one of his pyramids and he seems to get more rest with less sleep are many mysteries about the Great Pyramid (in Egypt) that are not he said there seems to be some kind of force in a pyramid that produces these effects I and about 50000 others are trying to find out what is behind the IN ONE experiment Pettit left a piece of steak in a pyramid for several weeks Although -the meat dehydrated and became hard it did not decompose Farmers of that been given an allotment of about 47000 gallons a month for this year Last year in June I sold 87000 Epp said Epp said June is always his biggest month for gasoline sales He agreed with Harms that June was the month in which farmers were in their fields the most But the fuel shortage apparently has not deterred area farmers from purchasing additional farm equipment particularly diesel-burning machinery local farm equipment dealers said Wednesday FRANK HOLT marketing manager of Foley Tractor Co said there has been no change in the demand for equipment discussed the shortage with them but most of them are going ahead and buying the machinery telling us they can get the fuel at a price" When asked if sales personnel were informing buyers that there night be dificulty in obtaining fuel for new equipment Nor an Sauder of Sauder-Lygrisse said not We have heard of no indication one way or the other that there is a fuel shortage The only thing we know about it is what we read in your He added that -there had been on change in the amount of equipment sold A spokesman at Sedgwick County Equipment Co said there has been neither 5-2nd i i i i
