Youngsters participating in the last two Easter egg rolls outside the White House have had to make do with a plastic product. That upset the egg industry, and this year the Georgia Egg Commission is donating four dozen real eggs for the event, the first since ex-Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter moved into the White House. Children have been rolling eggs around the White House lawn once a year since the ad ministration of Rutherford B. Hayes. Equipped with a spoon to fa cilitate rolling, they push their eggs around a prescribed course. But sometimes, the eggs don’t cooperate, and the White House grounds crew is left with a squishy mess to clean up. That’s how the plastic eggs entered the roll, two years ago. James Fleming, vice presi dent of an egg marketing co-op, said Wednesday egg producers were very upset “when this WHIRLPOOL’ FACTORY AUTHORIZED SB BS SPECIAL ONE TIME OFFER B JiH wx KflKßlfn THAN REGULAR WHIRLPOOL MODELS WITH CtWPAR ABLE FEATURE THIS REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER $ 399 95 WHILE THEY LAST Compare with Whirlpool Model EATI7INK refrigerator-freezer with Ice tray holder, meet pan, rollers, and reversible doors at sooo.oo* ; 17.0 cu. ft.

The White House negotiators said about four dozen would do the job. Fleming also said his group “sort of requested” that Amy Carter, the President’s nine year-old daughter, attend this year’s event, scheduled for April 11. The White House said the Carters plan to be at home in Georgia for Easter. Sinking cities CHICAGO (AP) - What do Birmingham, Ala., Houston, Tex., and Baton Rouge, La., have in common? They’re sink ing, because more water is being taken from the ground than nature can replenish, ac cording to water treatment en gineers at Ecodyne Corp. This phenomenon, called “subsidence,” has caused the ground level in the Houston- Galveston area to drop an aver age of five feet since 1918.
