2B —THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, DEC. 14, 1068 Commuters Get A Break-"Maxi-Cab" from "Uncle" jttjr- * ' imm i is M MBEJie Happiness is commuting in Maxi-cabs, an urban transpoflatioa experiment offering deluxe bos service. FLINT. MlCH.—Replacing the words "mother-in-law" and "Brooklyn" as an automatic laugh getter is "commuter." The noun conjures up pictures of Dagwood Bumstead dashing for the train, forlorn figures stand ing in line at windswept bus stops, car-pool pilots grimly threading their way through traffic. Indeed, time lost in transit has prompted wits to define today's commuter as "a traveling man who pays short visits to his home and office." For thousands here, however, commuting has ceased to be a cruel joke, thanks to a Depari ment of Transportation Urban Demonstration program being eyed enviously by scores of other cities. Key to the experiment is por tal-to-portal deluxe bus service ASTRONAUTS TRAIN IN SIMULATED SPACE SHIPS lISI m. ■v'lip ■ n!

The simulators, weighing 40 tons, and measuring about 30 feet in height, 65 feet in width, and 100 feet in length, were built specifically for the space program by the Link Division of The Singer Company. Located at both Cape Ken nedy and the Manned Space craft Center in Houston, Texas, the simulators will not only be SEAGRAM'S V.O. IMPORTED CANADIAN WHISKY pj=| $5.85 |§ IMO .JaJ J „ „ A BLSJID . ...

Called "Maxi-cabs," the buses feature stereo equipment, steward esses who serve free coffee, card playing facilities, newspapers, air liner quality seats and subdued lighting and decoration. Best news of all, Maxi-cabs cut the commuter's costs and time in transit. By picking up workers at or near their door and delivering them to the factory door nearest their workbench, Maxi-cabs elim inate long walks to bus stops, in termediate transfers and obviate the need for using the family car or buying a second car. Non-commuting taxpayers also benefit from the experiment for it was initiated to reverse a de clining trend in ridership and rev > l used to train the men to use] ' the complicated control panels, | but they will acdimate them to | 1 unusual space conditions. And with their five-ton glass g covering, they will treat the i astronauts to a spectacle of; shining stars, the earth and the moon. Not every trip however, will be smooth sailing, since emer gency as well as normal flight conditions have been pro grammed into the giant com puters so capable they can ' solve 20 problems a second. 1 More than 1,000 possible ' malfunctions also are pro ' grammed to forewarn and teach 1 astronauts about potential dif- 1 Acuities. ' enue from public transportation. The project is financed by Uncle Sam and, in part by the city, the Mott Foundation and the American Academy of Trans portation which retained a top flight communications agency to launch a razzle-dazzle tease cam paign. „ The agency—Ross Roy, Inc. of Detroit—struck fire in Flint with auto stickers stating, "Our sec ond car is a Maxi-cab," and col orful lapel pins urging commut ers to "Relax with Max!" The campaign got a big laugh from many car-borne commut ers. The last laugh, however, is being enjoyed by those who clam bered aboard Maxi-cabs. Being picked up by a bus at your front door, to be greeted by a pretty hostess serving steaming coffee, is the kind of a joke that could very easily catch on. During training, however, in structors can return computers to predetermined mission points so astronauts can re work problems or they can speed them up during those ' periods in the flight when astro nauts have little to do. The actual 14-day flight in cludes 9 stages: launch boost, earth orbit, translunar coast, lunar orbit, descent, lunar stay, ascent, rendezvous, and docking. By the time the astronauts count down in late 1969, they will have experienced each stage of the flight. Though it seems amazing, rocketing to the moon may just feel a bit old hat M mfjm wL£f\ U.

Somehow, leftovers are much tastier when they're called "planned-overs," and with a little ingenuity, you can turn planned-overs into Saucy Rice- Scallop Croquettes. . The planned-over in this case is rice combined with scallops. • Yea—rice. Rice keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week. Just put it in a tightly closed container so the grains will not dry out or absorb other food flavors. The next time you prepare rice, make an extra amount for future use in this croquette recipe. Busy homemakers will also appreciate the fact that this recipe can be prepared ahead of time. Early in the day, com bine the ingredients, form the mixture into croquettes and chill until about 10 minutes before mealtime. Then, fry, drain and they're ready to serve. Hot mustard or tartar sauce makes a spicy- accompaniment.
