"Glass Menagerie" Rescheduled \\ ;r.v. ttPUCATIONAL) The characters of Amanda Wingfleld (Sandra Fuller), right, Jim O'Connor (Derek Gilbert), center, and Tom Wingfleld (Pete Bender) prepare for the command performance of "The Glass Menagerie" to be held Saturday, Jan. 27, in the West campus auditorium. Because of school conflicts, the play is being Stron1 by Gerry Johnson Beating The Odds At 80 ti* Considering the fact that about 30,000 books are published each year, 80- year-old Paul Luvera of Anacortes, Washington, is a real success story: His first book, "How to Carve To­ tem Poles," sold out its first printing of 5,000 and is halfway through the second printing of 2,500. What really makes Lu­ vera's story astonishing is that the book was turned down by 23 New York and Los Angeles publishers and Luvera used $20,000 of his own money to publish it. "It's a lot harder to gam­ ble $20,000 when you're 80 than when you're young­ er," Luvera told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. Luvera's decision to pub­ lish stemmed from a grow­ ing interest in carving to­ tems and their historic orig­ ins. After retiring from 35 years in the grocery busi­ ness he began carving to­ tems. "It got to the point where I had more work than I could handle," Luvera said. "That's when I decided to publish a book, because it seemed so many people were interested that if they had a guide to follow they'd carve their own totems." After his idea was re­ jected by publishers, it took more than five years before the book was printed. Once it was, he sent 180 compli­ mentary copies to newspa­ pers and woodworking mag­ azines. Only one journalist wrote anything about Lu­ vera, but it was syndicated columnist Mike Royko. He devoted an entire column to Luvera's book and helped make it a success. Why, one wonders, did Luvera undertake such a project at his age? "Frankly, it was an ego trip," Luvera said. "It was also something our children and grandchildren could re­ member me by." It's also the only known "how-to" book about a dis­ appearing art ._fprm. "I couldn't find a book like mine in the Library of Con­ gress, the state library or any bookstore," Luvera said. Along with increased sales of the book, publicity from the Royko column has brought orders from all over the U.S. as well as Canada, England and Aus­ tralia." "I have enough work to keep me busy until the mid­ dle of 1979," Luvera said. "1 should say us, because I carve the totems and my wife paints and stains them." With the Luveras all booked up (plus the cost of a totem, which can run over $6,000), his book is an easy to follow guide for do- it-yourselfers who would like to carve their own to­ tem pole. It can be ordered directly from Paul Luvera, Sr., 2109 9th Street, Ana­ cortes, Washington 98221. The book is not only a guide to totem pole carving but is a testament to the de­ termination of Paul Luvera.

Many of the substitute mothers are in their fifties, sixties and seventies and are themselves widowed or di­ vorced. They earn from $75 to $125 a week in addition to room and board. Older women who are hesitant about caring for young chil­ dren can be matched to older persons desiring a companion.

ELM ST. McHENRY, ILLINOIS ;s-:, v.-;./.-;"' - Turn your home Into an energy conservation machine. With a heat pump. Instead of burning scarce fuels, the heat pump uses electricity to capture heat from a limitless energy source The sun It's the most practical, efficient heating and cooling system you can install today And it's dramatically changing the way we use energy Turns heat energy outside in and inside out. The same principle that makes the heat pump work is already at work in your home inside your refrigerator. In fact, a heat pump is a lot like a refrigerator There's an indoor unit that consists ol a coil and fan. There's an outdoor unit that consists of a coil, fan and compressor. Piping connects them. Inside the system, a refrigerant circulates, "carrying" the heat from inside out and outside in. Even on the cloudiest, coldest day ol winter, there's still solar heat in the air The refrigerant in the outdoor coil absorbs this heat, is compressed and pumped inside The heat comes out, keeping you warm In summer, the process is reversed Warm air inside the home is blown over the indoor coil. The refrigerant absorbs this heat, is pumped outside, then condensed The heat comes out. leaving you cool. • « The amazing heat pump is installed on the outside ol the home and is about the same size as a conventional central aii conditioning unit No matter how the temperature changes, the heat pump automatically makes the necessary changes to keep you comfortable. And the unit filters the air and dehumidilies. too Produces more energy than it uses. That's why the heat pump is a real energy conservation machine In a typical Illinois winter, a heat pump provides at least 1 5 units ol heat energy for every equivalent Ch^it ol electricity it uses Unlike systems that merely use up energy to make heat, the heat pump uses electricity to produce more energy than it uses It's this extra energy bonus that makes the heat pump a smart investment The initial cost is a little higher But the operating cost is lower So in the long run. the heat pump can help you save How to get one. You can often replace your present system with a heat pump Installing a heat pump in a new home is even easier Either way. it's important to get a quality product and have it properly installed and serviced Check listing below For further information, cqll your local Commonwealth Edison office and talk to one of our marketing engineers about your plans Commonwealth Edison # Working for you.
