Commuters Get A Break-"Maxi-Cab" from "Uncle"jttjr- * ' imm i is M MBEJie

Happiness is commuting in Maxi-cabs, an urban transpoflatioa experiment offering deluxe bos service.FLINT. MlCH.?Replacing the

words "mother-in-law" and"Brooklyn" as an automatic laugh-getter is "commuter."

The noun conjures up picturesof Dagwood Bumstead dashingfor the train, forlorn figures stand-ing in line at windswept bus stops,car-pool pilots grimly threadingtheir way through traffic.

Indeed, time lost in transit hasprompted wits to define today'scommuter as "a traveling manwho pays short visits to his homeand office."

For thousands here, however,commuting has ceased to be acruel joke, thanks to a Depari-ment of Transportation UrbanDemonstration program beingeyed enviously by scores of othercities.

Key to the experiment is por-tal-to-portal deluxe bus service

for this city's automotive work-ers. "Deluxe" is almost an under-statement.

Called "Maxi-cabs," the busesfeature stereo equipment, steward-esses who serve free coffee, card-playing facilities, newspapers, air-liner quality seats and subduedlighting and decoration.

Best news of all, Maxi-cabscut the commuter's costs and timein transit.

By picking up workers at ornear their door and deliveringthem to the factory door nearesttheir workbench, Maxi-cabs elim-inate long walks to bus stops, in-termediate transfers and obviatethe need for using the family caror buying a second car.

Non-commuting taxpayers alsobenefit from the experiment forit was initiated to reverse a de-clining trend in ridership and rev-

enue from public transportation.The project is financed by

Uncle Sam and, in part by thecity, the Mott Foundation andthe American Academy of Trans-portation which retained a top-flight communications agency tolaunch a razzle-dazzle tease cam-paign. ?

The agency?Ross Roy, Inc. ofDetroit?struck fire in Flint withauto stickers stating, "Our sec-ond car is a Maxi-cab," and col-orful lapel pins urging commut-ers to "Relax with Max!"

The campaign got a big laughfrom many car-borne commut-ers. The last laugh, however, isbeing enjoyed by those who clam-bered aboard Maxi-cabs.

Being picked up by a bus atyour front door, to be greeted bya pretty hostess serving steamingcoffee, is the kind of a joke thatcould very easily catch on.

The actual 14-day flight in-cludes 9 stages: launch boost,earth orbit, translunar coast,lunar orbit, descent, lunar stay,

ascent, rendezvous, anddocking.

By the time the astronautscount down in late 1969, theywill have experienced eachstage of the flight. Though itseems amazing, rocketing to themoon may just feel a bit oldhat

"What's in a name?" Everything. Somehow, leftovers are

much tastier when they're called "planned-overs," and with a

little ingenuity, you can turn planned-overs into Saucy Rice-Scallop Croquettes. .

The planned-over in this case is rice combined with scallops. ?Yea?rice. Rice keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week.Just put it in a tightly closed container so the grains will not

dry out or absorb other food flavors. The next time you preparerice, make an extra amount for future use in this croquette

recipe.Busy homemakers will also appreciate the fact that this

recipe can be prepared ahead of time. Early in the day, com-

bine the ingredients, form the mixture into croquettes and chilluntil about 10 minutes before mealtime. Then, fry, drain andthey're ready to serve. Hot mustard or tartar sauce makes aspicy- accompaniment.
