ARRIBA TERLINGUA, Tex. — Goats,
sheep and burros reclaimed the desert Sun
day as hundreds of chili lovers straggled hack
home from a wild three-day party in a dusty
natural amphitheatre near the Mexican bor
der.
The fling officially ended with a loud foot-
stomping dance that sent swirls of dust 10 feet
into the air Saturday night, but whoops and
hollers were heard throughout the night in a
makeshift city of campers on Glen Pepper's
ultra-remote Villa De La Mina ranch.
A Houston stockbroker was named the
1977 world champion chili cook over 32 other
contestants when his “Buzzard Breath Chilf
particularly enlivened the taste buds of a
panel of judges headed by Sen. John Tower,
Bob
R-Tex., and Texas Land Commissioner
Armstrong.
Mustachioed Tom Griffin was a first-time
entrant in the contest and said he began cook
ing chili competitively on a bet seven months
ago, winning second place on his first try at
the Houston cookoff.
“T like a challenge, said Griffin, who
claimed key ingredients in his winning chili
were imported, dried red ants from Mexico
and .sparing flicks of cigar ashes.
Also accorded honors were Kathi T.
Brooks, 20, of Alpine, Tex., who defeated a
dozen other contestants in a closely matched
wet t-shirt contest, and Alpine’s J.J. Holt,
selected Mr. Terlingua.
Popularity of the desert chili bash, carried
out in an area so remote there is no television,
has grown greatly since 1974 when Califoi-
nian C.V. Wood antagonized the organizing
Chili Appreciation Society International.
Wood, husband of actress Joann Drew,
who gained publicity for bringing the London
bridge to the Arizona desert, split away from
the Texas group, formed his own chili society
and began his own championship chili cookofl
in California.
Charlie Fowler, whose uncle Wick Fowler
participated in the first Terlingua cookoff in
1967 against author H. Allen Smith, said the
whole spat was a “personality conflict with
Wood.
The vendetta against Wood was still pres
ent during the weekend causing one Califor
nia chili chef to post a large sign on his stand.

Bureau reports all light beer basically alike

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Are
“light” beers the same?
Basically, yes. The same process
is involved, one that results in more
complete fermentation during the
brewing process. As a result, light
beers contain less alcohol, fewer
carbohydrates, fewer calories and
more water.
Right now, most brewers of light
beers tell you they contain one third
fewer calories than the regular beer
of that brand.
Both brewing industry spokes
men and officials at the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms say
even lighter beers contain about half
the calories of regular beer are in
the works and will soon be mar
keted.

Currently, most light beers con
tain about 96 calories per 12-ounce
can or bottle.
One bureau official, asked if there
were really any difference between
brands, said “None, other than the
usual differences in taste and so on. ”
The government does not have a
formula by which beers must be
made if they are going to be called
light. But once brewers use that de-
