She appeared relaxed and reconciled to President Carter’s loss. But about the Moral Majority, a group of func^mentalist Christians seeking to influence government policy, Mrs. Carter said, “I am con cerned about them. “The day after the election this evangelist was saying on television, ‘They got the evil people out of the White House. God’s people will eventually be in control.’ “That bothers me,” she said, adding that “liberal” was equated with “communist” and “socialist” by the same preacher. She admits she “cried a little bit” on Election Day and “Tve had some weak and painful moments.” She recalled she and the president returned to the White House after voting in Plains, Ga., on election day and, in an emotional reunion, told wet-eyed family and friends Carter would lose the election. “Then I went into my room and cried a little bit but I came right out and that was it,” Mrs. Carter said. As for the future, she said she will go home to Plains and plans to write a book and will continue to speak out on the issues she believes in. “You go from one phase of your life to the next phase of life,” she said. “I think it’s going to be exciting.” As for seeking political office, she shrugged off the idea but did not rule it out in the future.

United Press International CAMP VERDE, Texas — The Camp Verde General Store, a kind of drive-in museum, is dedicated not only to dispensing sardines, gaso line, Coca-Cola and camera film, but to preserving Hill Country folkways and the history of one of the most unique — some say harebrained — experiments ever conducted by the U.S. government. The scheme involved camels, and though the desert beasts have been dead for more than a century, the store lived on, providing a spot for settlers and visitors to shop, tell stor ies and visit. In 1856, Camp Verde was the holding pen for 40 camels sent by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis to be used in a planned system of over land communication. The idea was that the camels would thrive in west and south Texas because of their abil ity to keep traveling with a minimum of water and food. With the camels came soldiers, and Camp Verde General Store was established to cater to their needs. The outcome of the camel experi ment is sketchy; it is debatable whether the scheme flopped or was interrupted by the Civil War. At any rate, the post was surrendered to the Confederate government in 1861, reoccupied by U.S. troops in 1865 and abandoned April 1, 1869. But the store stayed on, serving the pioneer ranchers of southern Kerr County as a post office, meeting hall and central larder. The latest in a long line of prop rietors are Joyce and Roland Wal ters, who have enjoyed some success at deferring to history and selling groceries at the same time. Every summer the grounds of the old fort are invaded by armies of tourists who like to extend their forays into the past to the shelves of the store, which stocks an upstairs gallery with arts and crafts — dolls, ceramics, candles — constructed with decades-old Texas knowhow. “It surprises me the publicity the store has received, Mrs. Walters said recently. But she was quick to point out that the business is “in its own little town, with its own little history.” That 124-year history includes a turn-of-the-century flood that swept away the original store build® p ero j ^ new two-story stone structai southern colonial design stra ^ extra yecs fron was built within six months Ai flood, and is the store that issto L ; “T j 7 today; three miles from Pass, near the intersection (fl Highway 173 and Farm Fifty yards behind the store Verdi Creek, providing a Cu lma j or j r 1 take the i state tre The progi If we get ill see the i and Ives-like view of stands oil ress trees along the creek “The trees are all turning k now; it’s really pretty,” 1 Brandon, one of the three*): ring the si who operate the store on arf it begins i schedule, said on an auti morning.
