DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — A big over-the-road
bus with a toilet in the back rolls by on Interstate
84. and in the glint of its stainless steel my mind
flashes back to sunny summers long gone when
there were no interstates and the toilets were at
the next rest stop.

troversial parts of Carter’s plan
remain in serious trouble —
raising doubts that Congress
will supply much help in meet-
ing the energy conservation
goals Carter promised in Bonn,
West Germany, at the end of a
seven-nation economic summit
on Monday.
Both Carter’s proposal for a
domestic crude oil tax and a
proposed compromise on natu-
ral gas pricing — the two major
parts of the energy package —
still face major opposition in
Congress.
Tuesday’s 92-6 Senate ap-
proval of the broadly supported
coal conversion measure would
prohibit most new power plants
from burning natural gas or
petroleum and give the govern-
ment the power to order certain
industries to switch to coal. The
bill also would ban residential
outdoor gaslights by Jan. 1,
1982.
House leaders say they don’t
plan to call a vote on the meas-
ure immediately. They will
await the arrival of at least
three other parts of the energy
package — dealing with natural
gas prices, energy conservation
and electric rates — before act-
ing.
The fifth section, which in-
cludes Carter’s controversial
proposal for a crude oil tax that
would add about seven cents a
gallon to the price of gasoline,
remains stalled in a House-
Senate conference committee.
Few observers expect that the
tax portion can be revived
before Congress recesses for

Dad’s claim to fame, and it was a proud one,
was that he never had learned to drive but had
been in every state in the Union three times by
Greyhound or Trailways, which was no easy feat
for an unskilled laborer in the Depression years.
. Of course, Hawaii hadn’t entered the Union yet,
and the Alcan Highway hadn’t been built, or we’d
have gotten to Anchorage in those pre-statehood
days just to see if they had a semi-pro baseball
team that the Sporting News had missed.
Since my father first taught me to pack a
cardboard suitcase in that uncomplicated unair-
conditioned long ago, the great open road of life
has taken me to 106 countries on every continent.
Flaps out, wheels down over a new city — Bang-
kok, Peking, Calcutta, Papeete -1 always look
out at the buildings and streets and bridges
hurrying into focus with the wonder and ex-
citement and feeling of adventure of a small boy
peering out a bus window. Out of a sense of
nostalgia, I always check the local paper to see if
there’s a ball park. Cricket in Auckland, New
Zealand, rugby and soccer in Taiwan helped
pass many a Sunday afternoon, but what bliss to
find a real baseball diamond in Manila, in Kyoto,
in Cristobal, Panama, and outside the huge
automobile plant in Turin, Italy.

There were three of us kids, all boys, and
starting at the age of about 7, each of us got to go
in a different year. The whole family couldn’t go
on account of the financial considerations.
Besides, Mom didn’t like to travel, but she was in
on the planning sessions which lasted all winter
long. After the supper dishes were cleared from
the dining room table, it was like Eisenhower
and Bradley planning the D-Day invasion, maps
and schedules and pertinent literature spread
out all over the place.

Then, usually late in April, came the big night
when Dad and who’s ever turn it was to go went
down to the bus terminal to buy the tickets. Pitts-
burgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, Evansville,
Memphis ... each overnight stop required a sepa-
rate stub, but attached to the rest of the ticket by
perforation and stretching on endlessly across
the country like a roll of pink toilet paper.

I don’t suppose he ever made more than $3,000
a year in his life. Probably much less. He had an
unusual warehouse job in a government office in
New York City, weighing and stamping gold bars
worth millions from 8 to 5 every day, but he
never let dull routine tie him down. His mind’s
eye was always trained on the horizon of next
summer’s dream, planning the big bus trip.

I am a small boy peering out a bus window at
America rolling by in a breathless panorama of
small towns, tilled fields of com and then wheat,
ranches, dark green mountains and desert nights
filled with stars. My father is by my side, a
bundle of Chamber of Commerce literature and
the Sporting News on his lap.
During the first half of this
decade, about 400,000 Ameri-
cans a year left larger cities
to live in rural areas, ac-
cording to The Conference
Board.
