fjoteLoL Effort
By ED LIVERMORE
IT APPEARS as though the
cost of living is going to make
things more difficult for a
number of '‘convenience”
establishments
NATIONAL RETAIL reports
indi< ate consumers are starting
to shop more for everything they
need food, clothing, in fart all
sorts of goods for the home and
family
DURING THE LAST few
years a number of '‘c onvenience
stores" have thrived on the
affluent society Chief
beneficiary of the good times has
been the convenience grocery
that featured a pretty good
selection of food.drug items, and
home needs These places
remained open 16 to 24 hours a
dav. never promoted or offered
special values, depended upon
their trade from the people who
didn't mind paving a few pennies
more for items needed
BUT THINGS are changing A
good many super markets and
promotional-type convenience
stores are staying open round
the clock, and offering their
customers savings as well At
first this didn't make too much
of an impression, but as the cost
of living continues to increase
comparative prices start taking
on a new meaning
WHAT HAS HAPPENED in
recent weeks in the food industry
is happening in other lines as
well Consumers are demanding
convenience, service, and at the
same tune mindful of the price
of merchandise
SHOPPERS have money to
spend but they're getting price
conscious The store that doesn't
promote is going to feel the ef-
fects of this new attitude more
and more in the months just
ahead

City Managers and Mayors of
Sapulpa. Sand Springs. Kiefer,
Kellyville and Mounds discussed
four possible proposals for a
‘ (►operative solid waste disposal
system in a meeting under the
sponsorship of the Indian
Nations Council of (Governments

reported that the four proposals
would be studied by each
community with a meeting date
to be determined later after
information is gathered
The first proposal was to let a
contract to a commercial
sanitation firm that would
collect and deposit all five of the
communities’ solid wastes
A second plan called for a
mutual deposit site, with the
smaller communities of Kiefer,
Mounds and Kellyville pur-
■ basing trash pickup equipment
and using a Sapulpa sanitary
landfill nr a mutual site
The group also discussed a
proposal which would call for a
five-city trust hi be formed,
which would operate the entire
sanitation system under the
cooperative effort
Snethen said that a proposal of
extending sanitation service
from Sapulpa to Kiefer. Mounds
and Kellyville under a fee type
program was also disueussed
Sapulpa and Sand Springs, as
the major members of the
cooperative effort, were left with
the responsibility of locating a
mutual site
"Our whole aim of this thing is
a cooperative effort that will
benefit those in wived,' Snethen
explained "Hopefully under a
cooperative effort our costs of
running the sanitation system
will be lower "

percent of his allotment He may
then set-aside an additional 150
percent and receive a payment
of 66 cents per bushel
However, under the second
upUon, his acreage of harvested
wheat and additional set-aside
cannot exceed the 1972 com-
bination of these two
The feed-grain producer also
has two options He may set-
aside an acreage equal to 25
percent of his feed grain base
and draw price-support
payments on half of his normal
production This payment per
bushel is 32 cents for corn. 26
cents for barley and 30 cents for
grain sorghum
The second feed grain option
has no required set-aside but a
payment level of only about 47
percent of the first The number
of acres permitted under the
second option is limited to the
1972 feed grain harvested acres
The cotton program requires
only signup and planting uf the
cotton along with maintaining
the conserving base The cotton
producer then will receive a 15
cents per pound payment on his
normal production
Under any of these programs,
history protection is important
This means the farmer must
plant his cotton and wheat
allotment plus one-half of his
feed grain base to that crop or an
eligible substitute Since mans
t reek County farmers have not
continued required plantings,
most farmers are losing or have
already lost eligibility
Generally, the substitute are
wheat for feed grain or cotton,
feed grain for wfteat or cotton, or
soybeans for any uf the
