...Bartender Casimer Kania ordered ten patrons to leave as each new group of ten entered; he feared the floor would cave in under the crowd's weight. At Salvatore's Italian Gardens Restaurant in Lancaster, free sandwiches for everyone replaced costly Chateaubriand. Fire departments set up soup and spaghetti lines. The Salvation Army served meals to 25,000 people, clothed 4,000, gave medical supplies to 3,000. Citizens offered their snowmobiles for emergency rescue missions. Residents without electricity or gas found others willing to take them into their homes...
...HEARTY. The metabolism works overtime when the body is exposed to cold. As the human's heat pump, the body has to be fueled-with food. In Maine logging camps, a typical meal consists of vegetable soup, baked beans, bread and jam, macaroni and cheese, ground-beef casserole, pancakes, spaghetti and meatballs, beef stew, fresh baking-powder biscuits, in no particular order. Somewhat more delicately, Julia Child girds for winter with bean soup, enriched with leftover beef or lamb stew or whatever, and home-baked bread. And long johns...

Afterward, the family splits up again -the young couples to their third-floor suites, Rosalynn and Amy to read together and the President to resume the seemingly endless paper work...
...bonanza for budget-conscious vacationers, ABCs are the latest addition to the confusing alphabet soup of special fares with which the airlines have been wooing cost-conscious travelers (see chart). Ironically, ABCs came into being last fall because of politics as much as economics-specifically, Gerald Ford's election-year advocacy of reduced Government regulation. The CAB yielded to pleas by the charter airlines to allow all carriers to offer, through travel agents, a more flexible plan: seats booked 30 to 45 days in advance, but no prepaid hotel accommodations and minimal restrictions on length of stay...
