From the Senate Side
Pennsylvanians un
doubtedly will enjoy, many of
the vacation and recreation
opportunities available to
them in their state during the
coming vacation season.
Officials have been
predicting that as a result of
the energy crisis people will
do less long distance
traveling this year. They’ll
stay closer to home.
They also predict a record
season for camping, a form
of recreation that has been
growing over the years.
Camping will be a lot more
popular this year since it
doesn’t require much
traveling to get to a good
camping site anywhere in
the Commonwealth.
Pennsylvania has 36 parks
throughout the State that
provide 6,400 camping sites,
ranging from simple tenting
sites to locations for tent
trailers and travel trailers. A
few parks even have cabins

which can be rented,
although reservations have
to be made well in advance.
With that in mind - and
with the realization that
more and more people are
enjoying the pleasures of
camping - the Bureau of
State Parks, Department of
Environmental Resources,
has plugged 'into the
Ticketron Reservation
System.
Simply, it means you now
can reserve a camping site
in any of the Com
monwealth’s parks by
making a reservation with
the nearest Ticketron outlet.
There are 60 outlets across
the State. If none is con
venient to you, you can make
a reservation by mail. You
can get an application form
from any Park or Forestry
office or from the Bureau of
State Parks, Box 1467,
Evangelical Press Building,
Harrisburg, Pa., 17720.

Complete it and send it with

sburgh, Pa., 15220.
The reservation fee is $1.50
for a single site for the length
of your stay. Camping fees
are $3 a night for sites with
improved sanitary facilities,
and $2 a night for sites with
water pumps and pit toilets.
The Bureau plans to start
accepting reservations in
mid April for the Memorial
Day weekend. Normally,
reservations open 90 days
before the weekend being
reserved, and cover the
week from Saturday to the
next Friday. Reservations
can be made for all or any of
the days in the seven-day
period, or for more than one
period.
One thing the Bureau of
Parks does emphasize is that
reservations are not
necessary to go camping. All
of the parks will still operate
on the old basis of renting
available sites to anyone who
arrives at a park without a
reservation and there are
sties open.

Clean Air Act Will Mean
Higher Costs to Drivers
Under a law which starts
to go into effect July 1,
motorists will pay up to $260
more a year to operate their
cars. In addition, the law
could result in a 12 percent
loss of gasoline supplies,
according to Hugh W. Elliott,
President of the Penn
sylvania ■ Petroleum
Association (PPA).
The Clean Air Act of 1970
specifies that starting this
July, most service stations
must have lead-free gasoline
available, and that the lead
content of all gasoline must
be reduced 60 to 65 percent
under a phase-down
program starting in 1975.
“This law will sub
stantially boost the prices
that motorists must pay and
will contribute further to
gasoline shortages,” Elliott
noted.
Elliott said that the $260
average yearly increased
cost of operating an
automobile was calculated

Pnncep is an established herbi
cide that is used to control weeds
in many crops Its big advantage
m corn is that it does a better
control job on certain problem
grasses like fall'panicum and
crabgrass.
Unlike other herbicides you might
use in combination with AAtrex,
Pnncep does not cut down on
your control of tough broadleafs, and it’s labeled for quack
grass Also, Pnncep doesn’t lessen your chances of getting
season-long weed control.
And you can put a tank mix of AAtrex -f- Pnncep on earlier
than any other combination—up to two weeks before
planting.
So, this year get acquainted with Princep. You’ll like the way
