Energy becomes political football, oil group head warns
Wayne Gibbons, president of the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association, told the Kansas-Oklahoma division meeting that Congress lags public understanding of the energy crisis two years after the Middle East embargo. He warned against reckless measures like Edward Kennedy's proposed amendment, saying it would hurt oil companies and raise consumer prices while urging lawmakers to act seriously to avoid a larger energy crisis.

Pigeon deterrent uses fake snakes on storefront
In Glens Falls New York Gustave Cohen tests a plan to deter pigeons from his Outlet Barn by placing over 100 green rubber snakes on windowsills and ledges. The 18 inch snakes are nailed so they hang and flutter with the wind seeking to scare the birds. If effective the cost of 50 cents per snake is minimal.
