Brunick, the originator of college varsity marathon running in the United States and a speaker at numerous jogging clinics, says the nation’s 30 million joggers should be as perennial as the postman. Cold weather and snow should not discourage a jogger from enjoy ing the physical and psychological effects of the sport, Brunick says. He says if joggers are physically prepared to battle Mother Nature, they may be able to run longer dis tances in the winter. Brunick said some veteran jog gers prefer winter running because the snow cushions their feet and helps them run more miles than their bouts on hard concrete.

Running indoors in the winter “sterilizes its intrinsic bene fits,” he said. “Jogging brings together mind and body,’’ said Brunick, 28, who has jogged between seven and 10 miles a day for the last 14 years. “The number of joggers in the United States has tripled in the last 10 years and a big reason is people are seeing the psycological effects.” “You have to remember the whole key in running is prepara tion,” said Brunick, who was the cross-country coach at St. Francis College in Joliet in 1973 when it be came the first college in the nation to offer varsity-level marathon run ning. He said joggers can handle long distance winter runs as long as their extremities — hands, feet, neck and face — are kept warm. The rest of the body should be layered with clo thing that can be taken off as the jogger nears the home stretch. The face should be covered with a ski mask in freezing weather. Sun Belt, Frost Belt economic aid equalization United Press International ST. LOUIS — City officials from the North and South said Sunday the federal government must be evenhanded in appor tioning economic help between the so-called Sun Belt and Frost Belt states. Local government leaders de bated regional differences during a seminar at the opening session of the four-day convention of the National League of Cities. High lighting the meeting was to be an address by President Carter to day. Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. of Charleston, S.C., said the fed eral government needs to bal ance regional needs carefully. “We must have a national urban policy that we must not say we are robbing St. Petersburg to pay for the prob lems of St. Paul and vice versa,” Riley said. Christopher Lindley, a member of the Rochester, N.Y., city council, said many of the problems of older regions could be solved if care of the poor and the sick became a national re sponsibility. “State and local governments can then concentrate on provid ing basic and traditional public services from sewerage to high ways," Lindley said. “We can do this from our own resources without federal tance and involvement and, thereby, compete successfully is the economic development game of attracting our fair share of lit nation’s limited economit growth.” He said the North and Soul have been bickering too mud “In the North we must put® end to the practice of pointing!: the Sun Belt for allegedly steal ing our jobs and industry Lindley said. “It is easier toj! tribute our problems to someal- leged, fictitious act of interreg ional embezzlement than tore: ognize that some of our problems were our own undoing.” Winos?

Hospital administrator Dan McKenna said Friday the original bill was $6, but an additional $6 was added for interest. The money was sent by a woman now living in California. McKenna said the woman sent a note saying she found the hospital bill while thumbing through the family Bible. It was for treatment of an infant daughter in 1936. “It has restored my faith in hu manity,” said McKenna. United Press International WASHINGTON — Americans are drinking about seven quarts of wine per person annually, almost double their orange juice consump tion, and the wine grape industry has grown substantially. By comparison, the Agriculture Department says U.S. per capita wine consumption was less than four quarts in the early 1960s. Domestic production of table wine increased from 53 million gal lons in 1960 to 231 million gallons in 1976. The farm value of grapes totals more than $775 million a year, up about $95 million since 1974. The area planted to grapes has expanded by about one-third during that same time. The nation’s overall grape crop this year is 4.3 million tons, only- part of which will be used for wine. Of the 3.8 million-ton California crop, the largest in the United States, 1.7 million tons will be used for wine. New York’s crop is a dis tant second. i I LAMBDA SIGMA CHRISTMAS TREE SALE I I I NOV. 27-DEC. 1 DEC. 4-DEC. 8 3-9 P.M. SBISA & COMMONS 2- 3 foot trees $3 3- 4 foot trees $4 With so much growth in the in dustry, it was only a matter of time before Agriculture Department bureaucrats began to study every phase of the industry, from the 14,000 vineyard operators to con sumers of wine. Department economists are about to publish a report on wine market ing and sales based on a survey of 7,000 randomly selected American households. Of those surveyed, less than one- third did not consider themselves wine drinkers. About 40 percent of the abstainers cited personal beliefs or religious beliefs for not drinking wine. The majority said they were reluctant to drink wine because they knew little about it. Delving into profiles of wine drinkers, the economists found pur chasers of table wines rather than dessert or flavored wines had more education, higher household in comes, smaller families and were older. Higher income households with more education also liked sparkling wines of champagne and cold duck. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ * HATE DOING £ £ LAUNDRY? 5 ♦ Let Frannie's do it for you -)i £ Aunt Frannies J •♦t Laundromat 4c WHolleman at Anderson 693-658^- ★★★★★★★★★★★★★♦★★A* NE (Ian, plaim hroujf nit a )ppon tratii ichedt “Th eque ivoid ; eader ched : coopei Th. imatui lo thal hreats he rail Folic ons he /ho es ight-1 quare elic of hen w >ty , Irectei )rmed lembe eech “We hite p re bei lid Di ave b a our ( The Households that bought the wine paid less than others, because they bought greater qm titics at a single stop, bureaim speculated.
