SECTION 2 - PAGE 6 - PI.AINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUSTS, Plaindfaler Editorial 1978 Opinion Answer For Energy The answer-or part of it--to the energy shortage of the future »may lie in the use of farm manure for conversion into both ^methane gas and high-nitrogen-content fertilizer. ^ In Denmark, several farms are already acquiring their heating ^fuel from such a system, utilizing cow manure In northeast Iowa a ^system is now being tested at a chicken farm. The results in both >£cases are astonishing. In the Iowa experiment, the fertilizer ^produced is as much as ten times stronger (in nitrogen) than what had been expected. There, it's said, the fertilizer pi SJthe operation-the methane produced is a bonus! In cf Q toe ll lra T/\tif o nfkfiionl rto c ic inirronflir l SJ In states like Iowa, natural gas is currently imported as the J^ou rce of energy for fertilizer-producing plants. The potential in *£«such farm states is thereby twofold-the creation of fertilizer by a ^process which also produces energy in the form of methane! Since projections show the nation's energy consumption will redouble in ten or fifteen years, the significance of this new process is ^-apparent. Our farms might indeed become maior energy ••^producers, if it is widely utilized, perhaps in conjunction with *«*solar, windmill and other new forms of energy production. & 5 Spending Control The federal bureaucracy and federal spending are so far out of ^•V-ontrol no one can visualize all the various spending programs, **Jnany overlapping. One of the new programs of the Housing and Urban Development ••^department is to build hotels in metropolitan areas-areas liSrtesignated as distressed urban areas. So HUD is now funding hotels-and many are complaining that jtoo much of the money goes to the snowbelt. Also, with such grants tHand freebies. the danger of fraud and waste is obvious. The lesson for sincere liberals, and those who really care about ;»>nd sympathize with the less privileged, is hard to learn. The best •I-way to produce new jobs, permanent jobs, and the best course to I^iielp the most Americans, is to expand private industry. Taxing the > jniddle class to create make-believe jobs, and even to build hotels, a costly, temporary solution. Real jobs produce tax revenues at •vtio cost to the government. 3: •o* V is i PETEFM JISIEN ̂N 0HOME . McHenry. Illinois 385 0063 CSPS Swimming A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.

Rospoctfully, School lunch, breakfast, milk and child care food programs began receiving increased federal payments effective July l, Assistant Secrltary of Agriculture Carol Tucker Foreman has announced. The increased payments reflect a 5 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) series for food away from home for the six-month period November, 1977, to May,; 1978 The payments are made to schools and institutions to help defray meal costs in the school lunch, school breakfast, special milk, and child care food programs The national minimum average value of commodities donated for the school lunch program and child care food program was also increased The national average payment for the school lunch program will be increased from 14 5 cents to 15.25 cents for each lunch served. Within that average, states are authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to vary the rate of reimbursement up to a maximum of 21.15 cents per lunch The additional average payment for lunches served to needy children will be in­ creased from 55 cents to 58.25 cents for a reduced-price lunch and from 65 cents to 68.25 cents for a ffee lunch. The maximum total reimbursement States may pay schools and in­ stitutions has been increased from 84.5 cents to 88.5 cents for a reduced-price lunch and from 94.5 cents to 98.5 cents for a free lunch. The national average payments for lunches and suppers served in the child care food program will be increased from 69.50 cents to 73.50 cents for each reduced-price lunch or supper, from 79.50 cents to 83.50 cents for each free lunch or supper, and from 14.5 cents to 15 25 cents for all other lunches and suppers served under the program. The adjusted rate of reim­ bursement per half pint of milk served under the special milk program will be 6.75 cents for the period July 1, 1978, through June 30, 1979 Previously the rate had been 6.25 cents. Each year thousands drown because sensible precautions are not followed by victims. The following safety rules are worth consideration: 1. Don't swim alone. 2. Use supervised pools. 3. Stay ashore in heavy weather. 4. Keep children out of boats without life-preservers or good swimmers. » 5. Teach children to swim early. 6. Wait an hour after eating, before swimming. 7. Use excessive caution when fishing from a boat after dark. 8. Always carry extra life- preservers in boats. 9. If you are deathly afraid of water, stay away from it. One other suggestion is that you try one of several floating techniques when next in the water. Many people can float indefinitely with little efforyif they hold their heads back so that only the nose is above water. The feet may extend downward vertically from the surface, but if the individual will be careful to keep his head far back, he will find he can float for hours. This or some other floating technique may save your life. Even the Bears who aire willing to keep an open mind and be objective had to be impressed with the market's performance last week. Stocks were able to attract money despite continued weakness of the dollar, a surge in the price of gold to over $200 an ounce, and warnings from our nation's chief inflation fighter that the administration's target of a 7.2 percent inflation rate could easily be exceeded. To reinforce 'this gloomy projection by Mr. Strauss, the CPI for June jumped another 0.9 percent. Investors, however., did not focus on these negatives but instead paid attention to the positives such as a narrowed trade deficit, hopes for a capital gains tax cut, and a larger than expected decline in Ml. Last week's favorable action was not surprising if one remembers that the broad list has been in a Bull market for several vears. What comes and goes is interest in the big cyclicals, which keeps the Dow Industrials flashing confusing signals, and in the giant glamour growth stocks. These two groups are controlled by the institutions and with the general market overbought, what they decide to do now will control the direction of most stocks, institutional types or not, short term. At this writing, the Dow Industrials are within a few points of a new recovery high. With the utility average acting much better than money market projections, the transportations already in new recovery high ground, and most broad indices continuing to make new highs, sidelined institutional money must make a decision one way or the other, or, and most likely, somewhere in between. Trading volume has perked up lately which, in our opinion, reflects a moderate increase in institutional buying rathejutMan more public participation. We lot* for current market momentum to drag in additional institutional money and result in a new recovery high for the Dow Industrials and a run on the 880-890 area. Our advice to traders the past two weeks has positioned them for a "mini" institutional panic but we have not thrown caution to the wind. To get totally loaded for Bull, we would have to see daily volume of 40 million shares or better. That type of confidence seems tied to a much clearer picture of what lies beyond the valley than we believe will be visible for a number of months. A1 Goldman Battery-Operated Persons Subject Of Health Talk Perspective TAIWAN AND THE KFIR KY K(IWI.I) RKA<; \\ There was both more and less than met the eye in the Carter a d m i n i s t r a t i o n ' s a n ­ nouncement that it would permit Israel to sell its Kfir fighter plane to the Republic of China on Taiwan Because the Kfir uses U S - made jet engines, our govern­ ment must approve any sales to third parties The U.S. seal of approval, announced by the State department. came against a background of growing talk by academic liberals and some in the foreign policy establishment that we must give Taiwan the means to defend itself as a condition of "normalizing"' relations with the communist regfme in Peking Yet, Taiwan contends that the Kfir won't give it the capability it needs and that spare parts supplies might be interrupted because of the possibility of war in the Middle East Despite rumors that the Republic of China was dickering to buy sixty Kfirs. the Chinese Ministry of National Defense in Taipei says not It released a statement in which it said, Over the years the ministry has time and again categorically denied such fighter deals with Israel as reported by the foreign press Now we want to reiterate our previous statements that the government of the Republic of China has no plan to buy Kfir jet fighters from Israel " The rumors about Republic of China interest in the Kfir may carry a "Made in Washington" label, for a successful Kfir sale would get the Carter administration off the hook regarding the sixty F-4 Phantoms which the Republic of China has had on request for five years At the same time it would be a sop to the Israelis at a time when they are nervous about U S intentions in the Middle East. The deal authorized by Washington would have been worth more than $600 million Despite the ritualistic words that pro-"normalization" advocates utter about Taiwan's security when they bring up the subject of recognizing Peking, Taiwan appears to believe that the administration's handling of the Kfir matter speaks louder than words It makes them wonder about the sin­ cerity of those who utter the words The F-4 which Taipei wants outclasses anything the Chinese Communists have i which are copies of Korean War-vintage MIGs), though it is not as advanced as the F 15 Taiwan reasons that the ad ministration, by pushing the Kfir. which has a shorter range and one-eighth the payload of the F-4. was acting out of deference to Peking "which presumably would be nervous about the F-4's ability to bomb mainland targets in the event of hostilities) Yet. Taiwan also r e a s o n s t h a t i f t h e U S government is seriously in terested in Taiwan's future security, it would recognize that the F-4 in Taiwan s hands would serve as a deterrent against possible attack by the communists. Having declined to buy the Kfirs, the Republic of China has lobbed the ball back into the White House court Whether the administration now pretends that the turn-down is proof that Taiwan's defenses are already secure or it decides to recognize the reality of the situation remains to be seen One byproduct of the Carter administration's rush toward "normalization," however, might be the development of extensive three-way arms trade between Taiwan, Israel and South Africa. If these three are driven into isolation, a de facto alliance between them The McHenry county Health Improvement association will be host to Ronald Brown of Nashville, 111., who will be speaking on "Bionic B.O.P. - Battery Operated Persons" (Pacemaker). Brown is 344 years old and has had a pacemaker for ten or eleven years. He is a school teacher and participates in sports connected with his position. He will be speaking Wednesday, Aug. 16, at the Woodstock Communitv high would not be surprising. President Carter's ad­ ministration, which so often speaks in high moral tones, might practice what it preaches in this case and give our long-time friend and ally what it needs -- from us. school auditorium at 7:30 p.m. An association spokesman said, "We would like to take this opportunity to expel the fears and enlighten the public on the experiences of a gen­ tleman who has known the advantages of a pacemaker as a young man".
