You have no idea where you are . . . and your power plant hums and dies. And heavy rain is coming down around you. Angrily, you call Hillsboro on your CB. To your amazement, they come in loud and clear. You've reached the cops at the barricade - and from the sound, they're close by.

''What do you mean, sending me on a wild-goose chase?" you shout into the mike. "APRIL FOOLl" comes the reply.

The cops are happy to send out a wrecker; the fee is only $100. The wrecker gives you a temporary charge and leads you back to its garage in Hillsboro. Mark off 1 hour for the April Fool joke.

You will have to get your plant charged at the garage. Turn to 257.
