CALL JOAN STUlL 385-5418 mnswm SECTION 2 - PAGE 2 • PL AINDE ALER - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ft. 1ST* X PLAIN DEALER --V "C (t v $ Editorial New HEW Office? federal office --for families has been suggested. It t>e set up within HEW. a skeptical congressman about the exact New would be I When Auctions of the new office, an HEW spokesman replied: "The new office, basically, would be to advocate on behalf of the family and coordinate program policy that impacts on family life to serve as a focus for the integration of policy relating to the family and assume limited, relevant research and analysis functions." That mouthful made the congressman even more skeptical, and he was convinced by that bureaucratic gobbledygook that the office would be another waste of the taxpayer's money, conducting worthless studies and writing meaningless reports. Or, the new office might get power hungry and really begin to interfere in family matters. There will be many who hope members of the 96th Congress, and succeeding ernes, will reject creation of this idealistic office. HEW should be made smaller, not larger. Who wants federal bureaucrats nosing into family life? Saving Energy Readers across the country are currently writing letters to editors telling how they are saving energy. Some of these practices should be of interest to local readers. Among the devices are the following: Warm water overnight by placing it over a gas stove pilot light. Also, warm cool water by letting it stand in a warm room. Remove leftover food from refrigerator hours before heating. Use only enough heat as needed for cooking. Dry clothes outside when possible. Heat only part of the house. Draw drapes at night. Turn the thermostat down to 60 or so. Disconnect the "instant on" on TV sets. Install more insulation. Weatherstrip. Install storm windows, corked well and frames screwed tightly. Wash dishes only when washer is ftill. Turn water heater down to 140 or so. Use a car pool. Bicycle when possible. Use wood leftovers from sawmills, with wood stoves. Some suggest baseboard heating for economy. Use insulation pads in all electric outlets. Use snap-in stic on picture windows. Use two themostats, if possible, J kitchen or fireplace heat part of home. Close fireplaces by sealing opening, use small wall-plug lights in halls, bathrooms, etc. Park the car in the center of the area being visited and shop on foot. J" Use electric blankets to keep warm in a colder house. Even better, use a comforter. Use microwave ovens. If you open a window at night, seal the bottom of the bedroom door so that rest of house isn't cooled. Go to bed earlier. Walk more. Plan more cold-table meals. Shade the south side of the house. Install solar water heaters Use light bulbs of less wattage. Make a compost heap rather than use a garbage disposal. Reduce number of drives to grocery store. Turn off lights not needed. Turn off TV or radio when not listening. To which we might add, turn off mouth when not thinking!

PRESIDENTIAL BIRTHDAYS: Martin Van Buren, December 5, 1782 Andrew Johnson, December 29, 1808 Woodrow Wilson, December 29, 1856 For Your Informat ion Dear friends, Before prearranging a definite funeral and body disposition, it is wiso to considor and consult those survivors most affected by the death. Grant them the opportunity to be active planners, not just passive spec­ tators. Assisting in funeral arrangements can serve as a healthy outlet for their grief and anxiety. Respectfully, PETER M.JISTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME M c H E N R Y . I I U N O I S 3 8 ) 0 0 6 3 (Your Congressmen's Vote) WASHINGTON - Hare's how area Members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes Nov. 8 through Nov. 14. \ ,r • i. • HOUSE •Martin Luther King - The House rejected a bill making Martin Luther King's birthday, Jan. 15, a national holiday. The vote was 252 for and 133 against - short of the two-thirds majority required for passage by the short-cut parliamentary procedure under which the bill was brought to the flow. The bill (HR 5461) may return to the floor under procedures which require only a simple majority for passage. The Senate has not acted on the bill. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-N.Y., a supporter, said the new holiday would be "an appropriate testimonial to an extraordinary individual who dedicated his life to the cause of jmnan right*" Rep. Gene Taylor, R-Mo., an opponent, said Americans have great respect for King, but that "there is a more appropriate way to honor him than through, the costly method of creating another legal public holiday." Members voting "yea" favored making Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. • Rep. Robert McClory, R-13, voted "yea". Rep. John Anderson, R-16, did not vote. A Regulating Morticians • The House voted, 223 for and 147 against, to block proposed Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulation of the funeral industry. The vote came during debate on an FTC bill (HR 2313) headed for final passage and the Senate. The FTC had wanted to compel funeral homes to provide more complete consumer information, such as a more detailed explanation of prices. Rep. Marty Russo, D-Ill., a supporter of exempting the funeral industry from FTC regulation, said: "If ever there was a classic case erf the federal bureaucracy entering an industry truly local in nature, and proceeding on the basis of little evidence of abuse, this is it" Rep. Norman Dicks, D-Wash., an advocate of regulating morticians, said "here is our chance to cut the cost of funerals drastically and allow consumers - your constituents - to buy what they can afford rather than what a funeral director thinks they should afford. - Members voting "yea" wanted to prohibit FTC regulation of the funeral industry. McClory voted "yea". Anderson did not vote. Public Works - The House rejected, 148 for and 250 against, an attempt to kill a proposed $2 billion public works fund to be channeled to local governments in times of high unemployment. The standby fund, an addition to existing economic aid programs, would be released if unemployment nationally stays above 6.5 percent for three months. An estimated 90 percent of the country would benefit from the fund. The vote came during debate on an Economic Development administration bill (HR 2063) later passed and soit to conference with the Senate. Rep. Robert Bauman, R-Md, who supported killing the special public works fund, said the effect of the program would be "not to cure unemployment but to exacerbate inflation". Rep. Robert Roe, D-N. J., an opponent, said: "We should not be reacting to catastrophe, we should be prepared...and ready to go on contingency planning." Members voting "nay" favored the standby public works program. • McClory voted "yea". Anderson did not vote. SENATE Air Conditioning Subsidy - By a vote of 27 for and 68 against, the Senate rejected an amendment to prevent the poor from receiving federal subsidies for air conditioning bills. The assistance would go only to those with a doctor's certification of their need for air conditioning. It was offered to a bill (S 1724) providing aid to the poor for heating and cooling their homes. The measure was headed for final passage and the House. Sen. Richard Schweiker, R-Pa., who supported the amendment, said taxpayers "will be rightfully outraged by an assistance program which provides air conditioning aid." Sea Alan Cranston, D-Cal., an opponent, said the Senate should not help a poor or elderly person survive the winter "but do nothing about a threat to his or her life in summer". Senators voting "yea" opposed helping the poor pay for air conditioning. Sens. Adlai Stevenson, D, and Charles Percy, R, voted "nay". Oil Reserves - By a vote of 36 for and 53 against, the Senate refused to kill an amendment dealing with government's storage of petroleum in Louisiana and Texas salt caverns. The caverns have capacity to hold 248 million barrels to keep the nation running in the event of world crisis. President Carter has stopped storage, at least temporarily, at 92 million barrels, citing the reserve's impact on world market prices and supply levels. The amendment preserved by this vote would require the President to resume filling the caverns at the rate of 100,000 barrels daily. The provision was included in S 932, the synthetic fuel bill later passed and sent to the House. Sen. Bennett Johnston, D.-La., a supporter of killing the amendment, said: "I support the strategic petroleum reserves as strongly as anyone in this body, but to require under these inflexible conditions the President to proceed - notwithstanding anything else - to fill up that reserve I think is wrong." Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kans., an opponent, said that by suspending purchases for the reserve the President has "put us in a dangerous state of dependence and vulnerability to „ another oil embargo, as the current events in Iran have shown." Senators voting "nay" favored filling the strategic petroleum reserve at the risk of upsetting the international oil market. Stevenson voted "yea". Percy did not vote. MX Missile - The Senate rejected, 11 for and 77 against, an amendment to delete $670 million for development of the MX missile system. The money is contained in a defense appropriations bill (HR 5359) later passed conference with the House. MX missiles are to be To elude Soviet targeting, they will be continually moved via underground racetracks to various launching sites. Sea Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., a supporter, said the MX system eventually will prove to be "a Maginot Line" costing tens of billions, and that a better defense system would be to put Minuteman III missiles "into a shallow underground water submarine basing mode to patrol the coastal waters of the U.S.". Sea Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., an opponent, said the MX system "provides the kind of firepower and accuracy which will be necessary to be an effective counterweight to Soviet power." Senators voting "nay" favor development of the MX missile system. Stevenson voted "yea". Percy voted "nay". \ Senators Jack Schaffer (R) - 33rd, 56 N.
