After the logrolling came the brush burning, or “woods burning” to further clear the land. This life is described, followed by the good times they had at a feast, after the work was done.

Coffeehouse program on the topic of witches featuring several performers and speakers, held at the Sister Space Collective at Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne on October 28, 1977. Gloria Kaufman begins speaking at 49:30 on the first side of the tape. Calling herself an "ersatz witch," she says she was asked to attend the coffeehouse program in order to help with "putting out a grand spell because [anti-gay rights activist] Anita Bryant was in town." The program begins with updates on a strike at Essex Wiring Company in Elwood, Indiana; an upcoming coffeehouse program at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Elkhart, Indiana; and a demonstration in support of human rights and gay rights in response to a visit by Anita Bryant to the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The second side of the tape contains content unrelated to the coffeehouse program (likely a dub of a commercial recording of a feminist song).
