...town of Belle Fourche, S. Dak., donated 20,000 pounds of beef that was about to be barbecued as part of a civic celebration. At least 50 construction companies dispatched crews and heavy equipment to help clear away the debris. An all-night radio marathon in Sioux Falls, S. Dak., raised $25,000. The Boeing Airplane Co., which has construction under way at nearby missile sites, gave $10,000, and Boeing employees donated $50,000. About 50 morticians from up to 100 miles away worked together on the grim task of preparing bodies for burial. The First National Bank...
...canceled summer maneuvers to remain on stand-by call. Doctors, fearing the worst, have called for increased ambulance service and emergency supplies of drugs, cots, chairs, tables, tents, huts, trailers and walkie-talkies. One survival-minded citizens' group, The Miami Snowplow Co., requested $1.7 million worth of canned beef stew, a $1,632 stockpile of disposable diapers and bottles, 1,000 containers of aspirin, 500 instant ice packs and one medium-transport helicopter-but failed to survive as an organization through lack of support.

Nearly two-thirds of Irish exports go to Britain, and they would face a prohibitive tariff wall if that country, as is now expected, joined the EEC. Irishmen stand to benefit from higher Continental prices for their beef and lamb, and from an influx of industries, mostly American, seeking a European base. More than 200 companies indicated that they would invest in Ireland if the referendum was favorable...

Earlier this year General Foods wrote off a $47 million loss on Burger Chef Systems and Rix Systems, a pair of acquired hamburger and roast beef sandwich franchise operations that ran afoul of overcrowding in the fast-food business. As a result, one of the world's biggest processors of food (last year's sales: $2.3 billion from such household names as Maxwell House, JellO, Birds Eye and Gaines) is heading for its first earnings decline...
