Case. Consequently, pr bond forces
Consistently underestimated the ap-
Peal of limited-growth arguments on
the general public.
Having gotten straight on princip-
les, the anti-bond group (which
christened itself "Citizens for Fiscal
Responsibility") spent the rest of the
night on practical tactics. Though
many members opposed other bond
Propositions, such as streets or the
new arena, the group voted to limit its
activities to Propositions 11 and 12,
Which were the key issues. The
discredit the Council, the group
decided to emphasize its support of
most of the other bond propositions.
After a successful campaign, the
"Citizens" feel vindicated in their
strategy. The City Council, they
believe, should perceive the clear
message: that it has ignored the
wishes not only of its own constit-
uents, but of a majority of Austinites.
"We feel the public's instincts are
on our side," says one of them, "But
frankly, it seems that the City Council
does not understand the true
significance of some of the planning
decisions that the staff 'routinely'
brings forward. There's nothing
inevitable about a city's growth. It's a
political decision. A city has enormous
power to determine where and how

For many people the most sensible
investment available today is neither
gold nor government treasury notes.
It's food. With the threat of bad
Weather and economic disaster, people
With a cool, dry basement or an empty
closet should consider accumulating an
emergency food supply.
The danger of shortages caused by
Poor harvests, .the possibility of
tremendous price rises, the threat of
economic chaos, and at the very least,
an interest in economizing--all these
should encourage individuals to invest
in foe)d.
What could cause the United States,
which now exports almost one third of
the food it produces, to run short of
supplies for its own citizens? A
mixture of bad weather and oil
economics lJrobably poses the most
serious danger. A disastrous harvest
. that slashed wheat, soybean and corn
yields, coupled with a large balance )f-
payments deficit created by high oil
prices, could tip the scales.
A firm is now located in Austin
which is providing emergency food
supplies for those who are interested.
The firm is called Survival and
features low-moisture foods which are
packaged to be stored without refrig-
eration for many years. Anyone who is
interested in obtaining information
and a price list for the emergency
storage foods can send their name and
address along with two dollars to:
