Although the midwest had no shortage of electrical power, the Plaza Holiday lights were turned off when the President asked all Americans to conserve energy.

 ' • Fuel was scarce in some parts of the nation. It wasn’t too bad in Kansas City. But the prices! In some instances 60 a gallon. Truckers held a stoppage to protest prices. Rationing was in effect in various areas of the country on various types of fuels. Congress passed a bill for mandatory 55 MPH speed limit on the nation’s high- ways.

In the meantime grain for the cattle was selling at all time highs. Finally the farmers gave in and had to take the enormous loss. And we still had our always delicious Centerburgers. introduction six
