Firefighters 'red in the face' (AP) ? The faces of a few firefighters were as red as their trucks after their station's kitchen burned while they were fighting another blaze. "It's embarrassing, I know," said Columbia Fire Chief Harvey Evans, "but things like this happen." Evans said firefighters at a satellite fire station were cooking supper and left a pot on the stove when an alarm came in around 3:25 p.m. Monday from an apartment complex. "They thought the stove was turned off, but obviously it wasn't," Evans said. About a half-hour later, a truck driver saw smoke coming from the fire station and radioed his dispatcher, who relayed the report to the fire department's headquarters. Evans, who has a radio monitor on his desk, said the alarm from a fire station "really got my attention." r: c: i ? 1 .1? 1 i itc mc, cumiucu iu ctii aiea aiuuuu uie siovc anu overhanging cabinets, did damage estimated at $4,000.

Pigs featured in calendar FIRTH, Neb. (AP) ? They don't play football, and they look awful in bikinis. But the pigs in a new pig calendar could bring home some bacon for a photographer here. Unlike similar spreads on the "Men of Nebraska" and "Women of Nebraska," the "Pigs of Nebraska" calendar, created by Firth photographer Eric Byorth, doesn't have people sitting poolside with water glistening on their bodies or standing beside a 10-speed bicycle wearing the latest in preppie fashions. No, these unperturbed litle porkers are in their natural environment: Miss September has her bottom planted firmly in some dirt. And the twins of August are rooting joyously in thick, gooey mud. Miss July is caught napping by a wire fence. "I was getting in a rut," explains the 30-year-old Byorth. He said recently he did the calendar because he was "looking for a way to stay creative." Daniels pulls plug on Williams MOUNT JULIET, Tenn. (AP)? Fiddler-guitarist Charlie Daniels had this critique after playing a concert with Hank Williams Jr.: "Contrary to what Hank believes, not everyone came to see Hank Williams Jr." Daniels, best known for "In America," "The Devil Went Down To Georgia " and "The South's Gonna Do It Again," commented on what happened when he and Williams both were scheduled at the concert at Tennesse Technological University in Cookeville. Williams, 34, was to perform at 8:10 p.m. to 9:40 p.m. with the Charlie Daniels Band on 10:10 to midnight. But Williams was still going strong at about 10:30 p.m. when one of Daniels' crew unplugged the sound system, Daniels said. "It made us look like a bunch of jerks for doing it. But he knew he was supposed to come off," Daniels said at a news conference Saturday during the fourth annual Charlie Daniels Day, a celebration sponsored by a local civic group to honor the 46-year-old rock-country entertainer who calls Mount Juliet home. Daniels called what Williams did Thursday night "one of the most unprofessional things I've ever seen." Williams, known for "Honky Tonkin," "All My Rowdy Friends," and "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound," was bearhunting in Maine on Sunday and could not be reached for comment, his office in Cullman, Ala., said. Fla. police get wolf whistles FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) ? Policeman Liza Waring says she gets "a lot of wolf whistles," but officers who have been wearing shorts to work say the unconventional uniform is here to stay. "They're very comfortable," says 25-year-old Waring. "I haven't gotten one negative comment... but I do get a lot of wolf whistles. They want my shorts shorter." Sgt. Frank Schueler, one of the first officers of his rank to work in shorts, says he hopes never to go back to long pants during the summer. "A 49-year-old man wearing shorts in the police department. It takes a lot of guts," he said. "It's excellent for days like this when it's real hot and we're walking the street," said Patrolman Pete "Buffalo" Balcunas, who has a beat in the city's northwest section. "Some people say we look cute. Most of them say, "You've got heavy legs or bird legs,' They say I've got tree trunks." v Tr* 4 | U5<J today RH FILM ? "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938).

Butler Derrick, D-S.C., said Monday. "Congressmen are being exploited with this latest publicity stunt. The magazine is a collection of filth that has no place in my office."

S.C. libertarian: (AF) ? The South Carolina Libertarian Party state excutive committee has refused to seat Greenville County | party Chairman Dean Allen and has urged him to quit. Allen wasn't seated because he failed to follow legal procedures, said David Morris, editor of the state Libertarian Party newsletter and executive committee member. Morris said Allen had not filed with the Greenville County clerk of court or with the state Libertarian Party secretary arter ne was eiectea to tne committee this past spring. Allen, a Greer resident, walked out of the executive committee meeting Sunday afternoon in Columbia before _ a motion to censure him came up. L subscriptions t sent letters to the publisher requesting that their names be withdrawn from the subscription list, the lawmakers' spokesmen said Monday. Thurmond's office said the senator "is not interested. He said the content of the magazine is offensive to him, and he considers the offer an invasion of his privacy," his spokesman said. Republican Rep. Carroll Campbell took another approach. According to his public relations staff, Campbell wrote the postmaster requesting the magazine not be delivered to his office. A staffer said Campbell chose to show his disapproval that way to avoid givine Hustler anv oublicitv. Derrick said he respects the right to a free press but opposes "such junk" being thrust in citizens' faces." tl ^ ^mmrnrnrnmo^m iae8aBa*^y'' i i<wiifflr[iTI?piOT J ollege? ed graduate student Chris Papagni Monday, it \ nith, Ken DeBerry and Bruce Reeves.

"This meeting was originally scheduled for last weekend, but Allen couldn't attend, so we changed the meeting date to accommodate him. But he left the meeting early after we failed to seat him." Morris and Steve Vandervelde, vice chairman of the state party, said Allen was seeking to eliminate the majority of the party leadership. They said Allen opposed the Libertarian position supporting less stringent enforcement of so-called victimless crimes. Victimless crime, Vandervelde said, is crime created because of o lawmakers "IT IS particulary dismaying to have such a publication in the halls of Congress, which is supposed to represent the best values of Americanism," he said. Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C., has made no response to the subscription. But his administrative assistant, Jean Neal, said Spratt told her he didn't think the subscription 'dignified any kind of response."' "Last week was a very busy week ? Hustler was the furthest thing from our minds," Neal said. Spratt left for Lebanon or Thursday, and he may respond to the subscription when he returns, Neal said. ane saia sne tnougnt tne suoscnption was just a "one-time publicity gimmick anyway." **"*** reffiiiHVHYlf Hi HHtf Photo by Kovm Hcndtfson was a L.-joiS assignment for Video Arts James Edwards (far right with glasses) tor may restart originally scheduled to be restarted next Department had maintaind that an impact eeded because a less detailed environmen/ed the restart would have no significant ict. and the environmental and citizens groups z\)<u iiuciiL iu uu me statement, wnicn me :ake two years. :nt Ronald Reagan signed compromise the agency to prepare an expedited study, pact statement and the earlier environmenreactivating the reactor would have no rtment is now awaiting public comment on itement before it prepares a final version, sns to subimit written statements on the NGS will be held at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. at Augusta, Ga., Oct. 31, at Aiken's Odell 1, at Beaufort's Ramada Inn Nov. 3 and >n in Savannah, Ga.
