I Cut energy use and fuel bills with elbow grease and common sense M "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" PAGE 21-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. APRIL 15,1977 a charge of transporting open WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Cold air blowing in through cracks around windows and doors means money flying out, as many have learned from skyrocketing fuel bills in recent months. But unnecessarily high utility costs can be avoided with some elbow grease and com­ mon sense. "Looking for potential sources of energy waste in your home not only reduces utility bills but also preserves fuel resources that are currently in short supply," according to Ed Scott, coordinator for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's energy conservation program. Since the company began its energy conservation program in 1973, its reduced energy demands have resulted in saving the equivalent of 19.8 million gallons of oil, or 202 million pounds of coal. Over the four-year period, the program has resulted in a savings of $4.7 million in fuel costs. In 1976 alone, the com­ pany saved $ 1.8 million through the use of technical innovations, lower thermostats, dis­ connected lighting and im­ proved production methods. Scott suggests a number of ways for the homeowner to cut energy consumption: -- If you can feel cold air coming in around doors and windows, caulk all cracks. If caulking does not solve the problem, you need to install storm doors and windows. An inexpensive, temporary measure is to press rubber sponge strips between window sashes to seal the space. -- Open draperies during the day so extra heat from sunlight can enter the house. -- Close the vents and door in a room that's not used to keep from wasting heat. -- Keep the damper in your fireplace closed when not in use. Twenty percent of the heated air in your home can be drawn out through an open damper. -- Always keep the areas near furnace and vents free of obstructions. Move furniture or rugs that block hot or cold air registers. -- Replace or clean furnace air filters regularly. Dust and dirt greatly reduce a furnace's efficiency. Also, lubricate the bearings on the furnace fan motor. -- Have a forced air furnace checked annually. A furnace that's not in top condition can waste twice as much energy as an efficient one. -- Check the color of the burner flame on gas furnaces. When operating properly, the flame should be blue. A yellowish flame indicates the need for repairs. -- Check the insulation in your home. There should be at least six inches of insulation in the ceiling and three to four inches in walls and floors over cold spaces. If your home does not meet these specifications. make these improvements yourself or call an insulation contractor. -- Lower your thermostat to 65 degrees. "Gradually cut your thermostat down to see how low you can keep it without being uncomfortable," says Scott. "Too many people suddenly cut it way down, and the shock of being cold makes them run it right back up again." -- When lowering the temperature to 65 degrees or below, the use of a humidifier in your home will make you more comfortable. , -- Keep your hot water heater clean by drawing off one gallon of water from the bottom of the heater every month. Otherwise, sediment builds up that slows the transfer of heat from the surface to the tank water. -- Set the temperature on hot water heaters between 120 and 140 degrees. -- Don't run the dishwasher or washing machine until you have a full load. -- Use small appliances for small jobs. Don't make toast in the oven when you can use a toaster. -- Keep refrigerator gaskets clean and replace them if they are worn. A good test of the gaskets is to close the door on a dollar bill. If you can pull the bill out with the door closed, the refrigerator is not sealed and the unit is burning extra energy to stay cool. Don't open the oven door repeatedly during cooking. Every time the door is opened, the oven can lose up to 25 percent of its heat.' -- Keep gas stove burners clean. A yellow flame signifies clogged burners, which prevent proper temperature ad­ justments. "Energy conservation is simply a matter of attitude and common serine," Scott con­ cludes. WASHINGTON REPORT from Congressman John B. Anderson SALT-FREE BREAD TOPS WITH DIETERS Carter and Morality In Foreign Policy Slnea tha Declaration of Independence, the United Statee haa served as a beacon Of freedom and democracy to the rest of the world. Pres­ ident Carter has touched a deep chord In the hearts of the American people In prom­ ising to meke U.S. foreign policy the voice of political morality and human rights throughout the world. Just as Republicans and Democrats joined together in agreement on the necessity of defending freedom against the Commnlst threat after World Var II, I think we can once again join together in sup­ port of a moral and Ideal- ietic message to the world today. Americans of both political parties are rightly proud of their country's values - liberty, and respect for the individual - and be­ lieve that we can share them with other nations. The Republican Presidents who preceded Mr.•Carter used Am­ erica*'<pa*#«c . to advance the cause of individual rights. Now, it is wholly consistent to make this emphasis on democratic freedoms the cen­ terpiece of the new Adminis­ tration's foreign policy. The ways in which our country can exercise her vast power on behalf of human rights are considerable. Re­ cently, the House of Repre­ sentatives voted to Instruct Americans serving on Interna­ tional financial institutions (such as the InterAmerlcan Bank) to vote against loans to countries which consis­ tently engage In the denial of basic human rights. Also, Congress has reinstated the ban on Importing Rhodeslan chrome, showing the world that our opposition to the racist regimes in Southern Africa is genuine. Of course the United States cannot serve merely as a global moralist, crusading Idealistlcally without any thoughts of the realities of world power. Former Secre­ tary of State Henry Kissinger put his finger on the problem in a speech given last year: "The challenge of American • foreign policy is to live up to America's moral promise while fulfilling the prac­ tical needs of world order. How we meet it will determine the peace and progress of America and of the world," he stated. Thus we have to choose the best instruments of foreign policy to use in advancing the cause of human rights. Our greatest weapon is the example of American democracy at home, where despite our faults, our citizens enjoy all of the freedoms and guarantees of a open society. Certainly by making it clear that the U.S. is Implacably opposed to tyranny and intol­ erance we can have a positive effect on those allies who wish to remain certain of our good will. Developing nations and those in the Cowunist block may well be influenced in favor of more moral policies if they know that such Internal reforms will clearly benefit them in their relations with the United States. We Must be careful to avoid the pitfalls of inconsistency and misdirected pragmatism In our policies. Although we may tend to make more demands of nations sen­ sitive to American pressure, it Is essential to make vocal our opposition to the totali­ tarian practices of such pow­ erful tyrannies es the Soviet Union. Nor is a negative approach always called for. Those countries such as Por­ tugal, Spain, and India which have made considerable progress in returning to democracy should receive ev­ ery possible aid and encour­ agement from the United States. America's greatest contri­ bution to the world Is the concrete demonstration that democracy can prevail. By steady pressure, and constant example, our nation can en­ courage all those around the world who long for freedom. By careful use of our poli­ tical power and by remaining true to our own human values, we can live up to America's promise of freedom to all More and more people are being advised by their doctors to restrict the amount of sodium in their diets. This is often due to hypertension, a leading cause of heart disease and strokes. The necessary taste transition can be difficult since we grow accustomed to salting our food at an «arly age. Unfortunately there is more to a low-sodium diet than eliminating table salt from our diets. There are numerous other sodium compounds that are found in prepared foods. Bak­ ing soda, baking powder, monosodium glutamate and sodium benzoate, a preser­ vative, are just a few. For example, did you know that commercial breads contain about 125 mg of sodium per slice? Since dieters may be re­ stricted to 500 or 1000 mg per day, this figure is rather significant. The solution is making your own bread, and it is a lot easier than it sounds. This recipe for Salt-Free Whole Wheat Bread is simple to follow and requires just two relatively short risings. Salt is a yeast inhibitor, so this bread rises faster than most. Fleischmann's Unsalted Margarine, found in your grocer's freezer, adds rich fla­ vor to these fragrant loaves. The scrumptious aroma that fills your kitchen upon baking is just part of your reward. Each delicious slice contains only 1 mg of sodium! For more information on low-sodium diets and over 50 recipes, send for a free color booklet courtesy of Fleischmann's Margarine.

A little-known way to save big energy money THE GOOD WORD from Ihe jBibh The apostles were twelve in number from the time they were first chosen until the betrayal of Jesus at the hands of Judas. Before the apostles set out to perform the ministry for which they had been chosen. Peter gathered the disciples together to select a replacement for the fallen Judas. Matthias was chosen. The twelve were gathered on Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came "and sat down upon each of them" to "give them utter­ ance." They went then into the city of Jerusalem, where men of many nations were dwelling, and each man heard them in his native tongue -- the Parthians, the Medes, the Cretes, and the Arabians. * What a wonderful gift, this Holy Spirit. Many Christians today could use it -- not to speak in other tongues, but to speak up for Christianity, to speak out against the evils of the world that most of us ignore because "that's the way things are." By now practically ev­ eryone knows what a storm window is and that it saves heating and cool­ ing fuel. But the assump­ tion that storm windows are the solution to all win­ dow energy problems sim­ ply isn't true. A storm window pro­ vides a second layer of glass, which forms an in­ sulating trapped air space between itself and the primary window. This reduces by about 50% the amount of the heat that is lost (or gain­ ed, in summer) directly through the glass. But the storm window doesn't eliminate the loss (or gain) of the heated air that physically passes through cracks in and around operating parts of the primary window. This "infiltration" loss must be stopped by the primary window. Some­ times this can be accom­ plished by adding weath- erstripping. But when the primary window is badly deteriorated, there is prob­ ably no hope for it short of replacing it. Up until recent years, window replacement was an expensive, messy or­ deal because the home­ owner simply couldn't al­ ways buy windows that would fit the opening. But not any more. With the development of the replacement win­ dow, new windows can be quicker, easier and more inexpensive than most people realize. A replacement window is custom made to exactly fit the opening into which »it will be installed, so there's no need to modify the wall inside or out. The fact that these cus­ tom-fit replacement win­ dows are manufactured on modern, time - saving production-assembly lines makes them no more ex­ pensive than conventional windows. And because they install from inside the house, with no change to the wall or window opening, installation labor is reduced to less than one hour per window. Custom-fit is the only economical way to replace old worn-out windows. And the savings in fuel will repay the cost of the new windows in surpris­ ingly few years. Then, they'll continue to pay the homeowner these savings.
