Popeye's roughness as oatmeal spokesman assaults religious philosophies of Quakers
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Popeye the Sailor Man, who gave up spinach to tout Instant Quaker Oatmeal in ads, has offended religious Quakers with his brawling ways, a spokesman for the peace-loving religious group said yesterday.
rurthermore, Olive Oyl is far too submissive, said members of the Religious Society of Friends, the religious organization best known as the Quakers, a longtime champion of women's rights.
Quaker Oats Co., which has no connection with the religious group, last year began using the festy thick-forearmed cartoon character in animated television shows. It includes Popeye comics in its instant oatmeal packages.
treat packages.

Quaker Oats apologized and said it deleted references to "Popeye the Quaker Man" in animated television commercials, which continued through the "oatmeal season," September through March.

Area hospitals reported receiving at least 83 people from the accident, 10 of whom were hurt seriously enough to be admitted.
Iowa State Patrol Lt. Ronald Moon said there were no known deaths.
The cars began to run off the track just before the train reached a crossing on the southern edge of this town of 525 residents, 90 miles southeast of Des Moines.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and Burlington Northern were dispatched to the
The train had 12 passenger cars, four baggage cars and three locomotives, said Sue Martin, an Amtrak spokesman in Washington.
Marc Larson, another Amtrak spokesman in Washington, said the last seven cars derailed. Three remained upright, three were left leaning and one, a sleeper car, was turned on its side.
Amtrak officials said that they did not know how fast the train was traveling when the cars left the tracks and that the train's "black box" would have to be examined.
