hard liquor in cafes ? has about 100 breweries that
produce more than 200 very different kinds of beer.
Yet, it continues unabated. When Brussels prepared
to celebrate its 1,000th anniversary this year, Artois ?
Belgium's largest brewery ? brought out a special
millenium beer. If you order "Carbonades Flamandes"
in Belgium, you'll get beef stewed in beer.
From the francophone cafes in the Ardennes hills of
southern Belgium to the port pubs of Flemish-speaking
Antwerp in the north, Belgians display a Breughelian
zest for the suds.
In 1978, the average Belgian drank 125 liiers 01 Deer,
which compares with almost 150 liters for the average
German, the world's leader in beer consumption. The
average American downs 85 liters of beer a year.

Robot use predicted
WASHINGTON ? A Swiss engineer forecasts that
the long-heralded "automatic factory" ? complete
with robots doing the dirty work for humans ? will be {
common within the glass industry by the year 2000.
Technological, social, environmental, regulatory,
economic and conservation pressures are combining to
accelerate its development, Michel Cornaz, said.
He told a recent American Management Association
seminar he believes the automatic plant will come first
to the glass bottle-making industry because its [
straight-line production is ideal for automation and
process control.
Cornaz described a plant operating at production
efficiencies of 95 percent while using up to 50 percent
less energy than today. It would also use a substantial I]
amount of recycled glass as raw material. Each
production line would be capable of producing 700
bottles per minute, each stronger and lighter than
those being produced today.
Townspeople feel 'used'
ROSMAN, N.C. ? Townspeople in this small
Transylvania County community say they feel used
and deceived by their former mayor, Buford Posey,
who was nearly run out of town after they learned of his
past civil rights activities.
"I think the man used this town unmercifully just for
publicity for Mr. Kennedy," said Bob Parker, who
works at Galloway's Auto Service. "The man lived
around here for the past 14 years, and we thought
enough of him to have him appointed mayor. Then he
calls us a town of hatred."
Posey was appointed mayor by the town board last
March to replace Andy Mull, who resigned. He was a
grassroots organizer ior sen. iL.awara tvenneay, uMass.

Rabbit fever spreading
ATLANTA ? Tularemia, an infectious disease
commonly called rabbit fever, has been reported in
more than 160 persons this year, the national Center for
Disease uontroi saia.
The CDC reported cases in Montana, Colorado,
Alaska and Georgia on Friday in its Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report to illustrate the different
ways in which the disease can be transmitted.
If untreated, the disease has a mortality rate of
about 5 percent, but with proper treatment, the chance
of death is negligible, according to researchers.
Treatment with streptomycin is recommended. The
average number of cases annually is about 157.

DQuy tchqi surprise
BENNETTSVILLE ? Neither Andy Wright nor his
wife knew she was pregnant until he helped her deliver
an almost 6-pound baby in their mobile home.
The same goes for the doctors who had been treating
19-year-old Kathy Wright for injuries received in an
automobile accident in September.
Despite his unannounced advent, 5-pound, 11-ounce
Andrew Jonathon Wright is doing fine. His parents are
still a bit bewildered, but also okay.
Young Andy came on the scene last week, with the
father acting as midwife. The couple had just returned
from a trip to Hartsville to visit his parents when Mrs.
Wright "had a couple of cramps."
"On the third one, she felt him pushing and all of a
sudden, there was our son on the way," Wright said.
Doctors said that when the couple was involved in the
automobile accident in September, the fetus which
Mrs. Wright did not know she was carrying got pushed
up under his ribcage. Therefore, the pregnancy was
not discernible.

COLUMBIA ? Low-level nuclear wastes from
Commonwealth Edison of Chicago will be allowed into
South Carolina again for burial at a disposal site in
Barnwell.
Terms of agreement between the state Department
of Health and Environmental Control and the utility
were announced Friday by DHEC attorney Richard P.
Wilson.
The Chicago utility has been banned from sending its
wastes to South Carolina since Oct. 12 when Gov. Dick
Riley anounced that its shipments would be stopped
because of poor packaging.
The attorney said state officials had repeatedly
noticed loose water in casks containing wastes from
Commonwealth Edison. They also found loose seals on
the casks and other problems.
He said the agreement provides for more inspection
of the casks and seals. "We feel like they've tried to
address the problems we've pointed out to them," he
said.
Bus safety examined
a
COLUMBIA ? While two fatal school bus accidents
this week are being investigated, state education officials
are trying to improve bus safety.
"It's rather ironic that we launched this school bus
safety campaign for this year ? and this had to happen,"
Henry G. Hollinsworth, deputy superintendent
for operations and finance, said.
The campaign was begun in October, with the
naming of a 23-member task force to develop
procedures to "cut tne accident rate by 50 percent and
eliminate death and injury," he said.
Accidents in Berkeley and Anderson counties
Thursday and Friday left three persons dead and 13
hospitalized. An accident in Orangeburg County
Friday required treatment of seven students.
Hollingsworth said the safety program includes
recruiting volunteers to ride school buses. "One of the
problems that occurs on occasion is student behavior
that can distract the driver. Anything that distracts the
driver affects safety," he said.
j Authorities have not commented on their investigation
into the Berkeley County accident.
However, some residents of the community have cited
problems with student discipline on the buses.
