The Incredible Mr. Trash
IOWA CITY, lowa — John Deßrito bills himself as “The Incredible Mr. Trash” and amuses
lowa University students at the rate of $25 an hour. He doesn’t speak, smile, or blink an eye
until curious onlookers deposit a coin, and he goes into a mechanical man act and handing
out a variety of cards one of which read: “There are two things in life to remember; the
First and the Second.” Deßrito found most of his costume in a super-market trash can.

Residents want
to keep town
By MATT YANCEY
Associated Press Writer
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The 325 residents of flood
prone Clinchport, Va., who want to keep their community
together, may get $2 million from the Tennessee Valley
Authority to move the entire town.
TVA’s board of directors will be asked at its meeting
next Thursday to approve a project to help pick up the
town and move it five miles from its present location near
the Tennessee-Virginia border.
“TVA is basically buying the town to get the people out
of the floodplain,” Lee Boggs, exeuctive director of the
Scott County Redevelopment Authority, said Friday.
A delegation from Clinchport appeared before the
federal agency’s board in July asking for help after 10 of
the town’s 100 homes were destroyed and another 58 were
heavily damaged by flooding last April.
Mrs. Judi Crabtree, a Clinchport schoolteacher, said the
rain-swollen banks of the Clinch River in April marked the
fourth flood for many of the town’s residents in the past 60
years.
“We want to keep our community together,” she said.
“We’re all very close to each other.”
Mrs. Crabtree said many of the towns’ citizens are
retired while the others commute to work in Bristol or
Kingsport, about 10 miles to the south across the Virginia-
Tennessee line.
TVA Chairman Aubrey Wagner has said the agency
would try to find the funds to help move the incorporated
town to an area where the residents would be safe from
flooding.
The residents made a similar request in 1973, asking
TVA to either build a dam on the Clinch River to control
the flooding or to help in relocating the town. However,
TVA officials said a cost-benefit study did not justify the
project then.
TVA officials said Friday the $2 million will be used to
buy homes and property on a voluntary basis so that
Clinchport’s citizens can rebuild their town on a county
owned 90-acre tract near Duffield, Va.
The money also will be used to help with the actual
moving expenses and TVA will provide technical
assistance in designing the new town.
The board also is expected to approve next Thursday a
$l5O million project to build what would be the nation’s
largest coal-washing facility at its Paradise power plant
near Drakesboro, Ky.
TVA’s staff has recommended going ahead with the
project despite a pending revision in Kentucky clean air
standards for the plant that would require other an
tipollution measures in addition to the washer.
The washer would have allowed TVA to continue burn
ing relatively high-sulfur coal produced in the area of the
plant and meet the existing standards.
TVA officials said the washer, which will be able to
clean 2,000 tons of coal and hour, is expected to cost SSO
million. Related coal-handling facilities push the cost of
the project up to $l5O million, they said.
The Paradise plant does not now meet clean air stan
dards set by Kentucky or the federal Environmental
Protection Agency.
Carter places wreath
on tomb of ‘Soldier’
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres
ident Carter is leading the na
tion’s Veterans Day observance
by placing a wreath at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier in
Arlington National Cemetery.
Max Cleland, the head of the
Veterans Administration,
planned to accompany Carter to
today’s ceremony. Cleland lost
both legs and an arm in a 1968
grenade explosion in Vietnam.
This is the last year the holi
day will fall on different dates
around the country. Next year
all 50 states return to the tradi
tional Nov. 11.
Forty-seven states have al
ready gone back to that date.
Only Utah, Hawaii and Wash
ington, D.C., are observing it
today, while Rhode Island hon
ors veterans Nov. 7. For most
federal employes, the holiday is
today.
The confusion began in 1968
when Congress moved several
holidays from their traditional
dates to Mondays to create
more three-day weekends.
Since 1919 Veterans Day had
been observed on Nov. 11. Be
ginning in 1971, the holiday,
originally called Armistice
Day, was switched to the fourth
Monday in October.
Most veterans organizations
vigorously protested the switch.
Some, never acknowledging the
change, have continued to hold
their ceremonies on Nov. 11.
Two years ago, Congress
voted to move the holiday back
to Nov. 11, but delayed the
change until 1978 to accom
modate calender manufac
turers.
