by the Association for Retarded
Citizens.
All citizens are eligible to
participate in the Hike-Bike and
may hike the prescribed course
or ride a bike. The course will
be about 20 miles long. Each
rider or walker must recruit
sponsors who are potential
donors willing to agree to
donate so much money based
upon the number of miles that
the rider-walker completes on
the hike-bike course.
For example if the rider
walker obtains a sponsor who
agrees to donate SI.OO per mile
and the rider-walker rode or
walked 15 miles on the day of
the hike-bike, the sponsor would
be obligated to donate $15.00 to
the Association for Retarded
Citizens. It is the participant’s
responsibility to return to the
sponsor to collect the donation
after the hike-bike event.
The event will begin at 9:00
a.m. May 10 at the Pike County
Courthouse. In case of rain, the
event will be held May 17. The
first prize, a new bicycle, will go
to the person who raises the
most in donations. The bicycle
is from K-Mart of Griffin.

MARKEDGROWTH
DES PLAINES, 111. (UPI) -
The U.S. Foundry Industry is
experiencing marked growth in
the western states —Colorado
to the West Coast —according
to Charles E. Fausel, president
of the American Foundrymen’s
Society. v
“Within 10 years,” Fausel
said, “western foundries may
be producing up to 30 per cent
of the casting requirements of
the U.S., as opposed to only 3.5
per cent as short a time ago as
1968.
Fausel said the healthy
foundry situation out west is
due largely to western foun
dries having complied with stiff
pollution control legislation
early —some of them up to 10
years prior to their eastern
counterparts.
