OTTAWA — Canada’s federal
rovernment has introduced
’mergency energy legislation that
vill permit it to ration oil and
!asoline supplies to all consumers.
I still think the oil situation is a
nanagable one and I don't think we
1 need the authority to use the
” Energy Minister Alastair Gil-
espiesaid. “But it is better to be on
uard against further problems in
ran and possible problems in the
tiiddle East.”
Gillespie told the House of
lommons the emergency act “will
ive the government the power to
[locate crude oil to five Canadian
egions, industries, and if necessary
itroduce a rationing system to the
onsumer.’’
The act, which can be im-
lemented as soon as passed by Par-
janient, will be applied under an
itemational agreement to take ae
on if supplies to Western nations
ecut by 7 percent.
The Iranian political crisis has cut
odd supplies 5 percent. Canadian
applies also have been affected by a
ecision by Exxon to reduce the
ow of Venezuelan oil to its Cana-
ian subsidiary Imperial by 22 per-
nt. Gillespie has demanded Im-
erial resume full shipments.
The legislation will divide Canada
to five regions — the Maritimes,
uebec, Ontario, the Prairies and
ritish Columbia — and allocate
ich a certain amount of oil.
If further actions are needed to
eal with the oil shortages created
the suspension of shipments from
ivolution-torn Iran, the govern-
ent will have the power to regu-
teoil supplies to industry.
Rationing for individual consum-
s would be considered only as a
st resort, an Energy Ministry
lurce said.

Club sells 78 unclaimed bikes
‘hogs in’ on Animal Pavilion
By PHYLLIS PONDER
Battalion Reporter
Nearly 100 people braved the ice
and the aroma of hogs Saturday to
buy 78 bicycles from the Texas
A&M Wheelmen’s Club.
The hogs and bikes met in the
Animal Science Pavilion. The bikes
were there for an auction sponsored
by the club. The hogs were there in
connection with an animal science
class.
They met when the club was
forced by the cold weather to move
the auction of abandoned hikes from
the Grove to the pavilion.
The bicycles were picked up on
campus by the University Police
after being abandoned. The police
advertised to try to find the hikes’
owners. If they got no response
within seven months, the bikes
were put up for auction.
“To my surprise all the bicycles
were sold,” Brent Johnson, presi
dent of the club said. Nearly all the
bicycles needed some kind of re
pair. Most of them had rusty chains
and bent wheels, but could be ride-
able with a little work, Johnson said.
The highest bid was $85 for a 10-
speed Raleigh Grand Prix. Johnson
said this particular bicycle looked
like a stolen one since it had been
spray-painted silver. It was also in
better condition than most of the
others.
One 10-speed bicycle in poorer
condition than the others sold for
only $4. “Even thought it was the
cheapest, it was still a good deal,”
Johnson said.
The money from the auction to
taled $2032.25. The money will be
divided up between the campus
chest, the bicycle account, with
most of it going to the MSC Craft
Shop.
Fifty dollars will go to John
Fisher, the auctioneer. Fisher, an
animal science major, auctioneers as
a sideline.
They call it a Fish Pond
Well, why else would the Fish Pond have been called the Fish
Pond? Last Thursday, this buffalo carp drifted around all
afternoon, much more dead than alive. It finally disappeared
as mysteriously as it got there. Battalion photo by Colin Crombie

BARRE, Vt. — Margaret Rocks
Beede says someone who wants to
live a long life should “work like
hell and “not have too many late-
night parties.”
Beede should know. She cele
brated her 104th birthday last week
and among those sending their best
wishes were President Carter, Gov.
Richard Snelling and Sen. Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt.
I was one of 16 children and we
never celebrated our birthdays,”
she told visitors Thursday at Mac-
Farland House, the nursing home
where she lives. “We were too
many for that kind of thing.”
Asked what advice she would give
people who want to live long, Mrs.
Beede said, “Tell them not to have
too many late-night parties. And tell
them to work like hell.”
