The other stores and cafes have not noticed a shift in preference to tea or Hot chocolate. said Anybody who John Sampinos, owner of drinks hot chocolate or tea does so because they like those beverages, not because the price of coffee is high. t, Sampinos, who depends on the sale of coffee for about 85 of his business, charges 25 cents a cup and extra for refills He said, however, he is holding off on raising the p6r cent Jerome Hernandez, Sunnyside, a physical science technician with the U.S. Geological Survey, inspects subsidence deformation in Emery County, resulting from coal 900 about feet (274 meters) below the mining land surface. This picture appears in a new report published by the USGS analyzing the geologic causes and effects of underground coal mine subsidence in Colorado and Utah. The report can aid in preparation of mining plans that would lead to coal extraction efficiency while reducing environmental damage and mining hazards. Hernandez is in charge of the USGS seismic monitoring network in the Sunnyside price. This hike may be soon. Camilo Calazans, president of the Brazilian Coffee Institute, was quoted as saying the 1977 coffee crop which will be harvested in July will be less than expected. He said only 13 or 14 million sacks of coffee will be produced. The bulging of the land surface being inspected by Hernandez illustrates the types of surface deformation that occur in the rugged terrain of Utah and Colorado resulting from and a million sacks in This compares with disastrous 6.5 million sacks in 1976. The summer frost destroyed or damaged 73 5 per cent of Brazils coffee trees. underground coal mining. 1975 The most significant effect that the high price of coffee has had on local business comes from Platis. He said, Were paying more for coffee on a monthly basis than we are for meat. V b. mkmg feeling area. 22 f USGS photo Potters also charges $6.12 for two pounds of the three major brands. But ten ounces of their instant coffee costs $3.29 for MJB and $3.79 for Folgers. They had no Hills Brothers. Platis said part of the shortage comes from the introduction by the major producers of specialty coffee, such as those with mint and orange flavors. 4 S v Safeway charges $6.12 for two pounds of Hills Brothers, Folgers and MJB regular grind. Ten ounces of instant coflee costs $3.97. Surprisingly, Platis said cafes do not get any better deal than shoppers on coffee. Theres no such thing as wholesale. In fact, we can buy coffee at the supermarket for the same amount as we can from a coffee wholesaler. j 4 M W Furthermore, Potter said the shopper realizes it is the producers, not the super markets, to blame for the price raise. Customers continue to drink coffee in the Century because the cafe has sold it for 30 cents a cup for six months, said owner John Platis. The customers are used to buying it at that price. Its the housewives who gripe because it costs in excess of $3 a pound, he added. at .A. r- v The USGS report was written by C. Richard Dunrud, USGS geologist, Denver, Colo., who said that underground mining can set in chain of enmotion an vironmental and mining hazards that can not only affect the works of man and the natural elements of the environment, but also can threaten the mining operation by reducing minable coal reserves, decreasing mine safety and lowering production efficiency. inter-relate- "Subsidence damage resulting from underground coal mining will become a greater problem in the United States as our population increases along with our demand for more energy," Dunrud said. "Although lands underlain by coal beds in the western United States are still relatively free of industrial and areas urban development, many in the East support industry, housing or farming." coal-bearin- g Copies of the report, "Some Engineering Geologic Factors Controlling Coal Mine Subsidence in Utah and Colorado," published as USGS Professional Paper 969, may be obtained from the USGS Branch of Distribution, 1200 South Eads St., Arlington, Va. 22202, prepaid to the U.S. Geological Survey for $1.25 each.

No. I think it is just awful. I think if he was made to stay in jail all his life he would really be punished. I dont think it should be made public. I think its one helluva awful mess up there.
