In Scuba Tanks TORONTO (AP) A Toronto man was charged with importing narcotics and possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking after hashish oil was discovered in three scuba tanks during a customs search, court records showed Friday. The records showed that Robert H. Goring, 26, was arrested May 16 at Toronto International Airport after arriving from Durban, South Africa.

A police officer testified that customs officers found between 20 and 30 pounds of liquid hashish in the scuba tanks. Fairfax Library Closed For Week FAIRFAX The Fairfax Community Library will be closed this week for inventory. The summer schedule will go into effect when the library reopens the week of June 6. The new hours will be Monday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. 8 p.m., and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m.

3:30 p.m. While the library roof is being repaired, the schedule may be erratic. Beginning June 14, the loan period will be extended for the summer. A children's film program is slated for Tuesdays at 2 p.m. during July and August.

The second summer reading program will be conducted during the same months by the librarian, Vera McNall. told Hoff Snelling's campaign platform calling for a sales tax was making headway with voters. On the basis of that, we really went after him," Hoff said, end then a subsequent poll showed "we reversed the trend." While Hoff may have been the first to effectively use the "scientific" survey and while its use may now be well -entrenched in political circles, many political observers will concede polls probably have less use in Vermont than in the larger states. Hoff, for example, says Vermont politicians might be limited in the extent to which they capitalize on poll data. "Vermonters tend to be better-read and closer to their government," he said.

"For that reason it is less possible to manipulate the electorate, and it is easier to get legitimate information across to voters." Burns, however, maintains enough "strong differences of opinions exist" to make polling "still important." Newspapers make a difference: "Stella gets great support" from publications in Franklin County, and "I get it in Bennington and Brattleboro," Burns said. "Polls can be a very dirty tool," echoed his campaign manager, Wallace Roberts of Plainfield. Although public opinion polls have been a part of the American political scene since the early 1800s, their use in Vermont as a sophisticated tool in campaign strategy began more recently in 1962 in the campaign of former Democratic Gov. Philip Hoff. Hoff made good use of the poll that year: Although it showed he faced an "almost impossible task" of upsetting Republican incumbent Gov.

F. Ray Keyser, he was able to pinpoint supporters and eventually win the election. The poll showed that Hoff was well-known in the northwestern part of the state and there was strong potential in the east, he said. It also showed the Republicans didn't have the white collar workers sewed up, he said.

Maggie every Sunday in the SHREWSBURY Nancy Clifford, 19, of Rutland was killed in a single-car crash on the Cold River Road in Shrewsbury early Saturday morning, according to state police. Police said she was a passenger in a southbound sports car operated by John Bove, 26, also of Rutland.

Bove was listed in fair condition in the intensive care unit at Rutland Hospital Saturday night with a fractured neck, and head, chest and internal injuries, a hospital spokesman said. Bove's 1974 car was demolished when it went off the right side of the highway and Vermont Depths figure represents daily train runs at 70 per cent capacity. The question of time, or lack of it, said Egan, has been responsible for many snags and oversights. Egan recalled the flurry of protests when Windsor, where the state's constitution was signed, was left off the steam expedition brochure map, "It was just an oversight. My thinking was channeled for the Steam Train and that was all," said Egan.

Egan also explained that Steamtown was not mentioned in the brochure because he thought the trains depart too early or arrive too late for a comfortable tour of the museum. Steps are being taken to correct an erroneous impression given by the brochure: "We are going to print an insert to go with the brochure letting everyone know that advance reservations are not required. You can buy tickets any time. The brochure never really makes this clear," said Egan. Although tickets are not yet on sale, Egan said that he is now finalizing the determination of where the tickets will be available, with posters and other publicity ready to go out in about two weeks.

A plus for Vermonters only is a steam expedition season pass for less 180 now being considered. Egan said the pass will allow a state resident to ride the train anytime, anywhere and as often as desired. In effort to offset what might be considered the high cost of the regular fare, Jenkins said food served on the train will be as inexpensive as possible. For example, said Jenkins, a ham sandwich will sell for about 80 cents, a draft of beer for about 70 cents. The amenities of the aside from the newly refurbished passenger cars with windows that will open, will include a dining car and a separate club or lounge car.

Three women were treated for various injuries at the Medical Center Hospital following a two-car crash on Shelburne Road in front of Wesson's Diner about 12:40 p.m. Saturday, according to South Burlington Police. Ajjn Ginesburg, 20, of Hyde Street, Burlington, was attempting to turn onto Shelburne Road in her 1968 sedan when it was in collision with a 1970 sedan driven by Marion Lumbra, 62, of Shelburne, police said. Mrs. Lumbra was taken to the MCHV with an arm injury.

Her two passengers were also injured: Janice Grenier, 40, of Moosup, received neck and back injuries and Geraldine Shaw, 30, of Center Village, received a leg injury. All were discharged from the hospital by Saturday night, according to a hospital spokesman. done by transportation consultants Barton and Aschman, under the direction of Burley, was no longer useful. "Right now," said Tony Egan, the expedition's marketing and publicity director, "we're creating as we go along." According to Egan, the decision to depart from the Burley concept and the plans as outlined by Barton and Aschman was made when Egan was still with the state division of Information and Travel. Egan said he, Information and Travel Director Stearns Jenkins and others decided that "the general public is not geared to leave their cars for an overnight trip" as the original plan called for.

It was then that Webster formally announced the scaled-down version of the steam expedition and also declared that the system would have to be self-supporting, he said. Jenkins pinpoints the cost of the project at 875,000. "This is not money coming out of taxpayers' pockets," said Jenkins. "We are borrowing from a bank right now in anticipation of revenue generated by the system itself. The legislature did not appropriate any funds for this." Jenkins currently is working on a request to the legislature's Joint Fiscal Committee asking authorization to borrow $300,000 in addition to $300,000 already borrowed.

To Egan, meanwhile, who joined the steam expedition staff in January, has fallen the job of getting tourists on the train during July through October. Of a budget of 150,000, said Egan, $91,000 already has been spent on media advertising and other promotional efforts. If Egan can get at least 27,000 tourists to ride the train in 1976, paying the 31.50 round-trip ticket price, the expedition will have paid for itself. Egan noted that that RULES: 1.
