•1 m ' (fi: The Move To Save Energy The United States and 19 other industrial nations are working together ton develop a major energy source that can drastically reduce U.S. dependence on foreign petroleupi. The source is con­ servation; in effect, a barrel of oil saved is every bit as g09d as a barrel of oil produced-and a whale of a' lot cheaper. ^ During October, the 20 nations, all menrtraftjof the International tSnergy Agency (IEA), sponsored the first International Energy Conservation month and shared information and ideas about energy-saving techniques and policies and . conducted educational campaigns to stress the importance of saving energy. The idea of energy as a precious commodity is relatively new on the American scene. Not many years ago, Americans were certain that energy would always be plentiful and cheap, so they were not particularly careful about its use. In fact, the United States became (and con­ tinues to be), the world's largest oil importer. But now, buffeted by soaring prices and the uncertainty of supplies, American attitudes towards energy use have been changing rapidly, and energy conservation is suddenly a game with millions of players, as the examples indicate: The Metropolitan council in St. Paul, gives its em­ ployees a 20 percent com­ muting subsidy for riding public transit to and from work. Radio station WLDM in Westfield, Mass., pumps heat generated by its transmitter, which is located . in the basement, to warm the station's offices in winter. Fifty-nine hospitals in the vicinity of Philadelphia, Pa., have put together an aggressive energy savings program that has cut their combined energy bill $5 million a year. Local and state govern­ ments, under pressures to cut spending, have also found that energy con­ servation is paying off: The City of Nashville, Tenn, is burning trash to generate energy for homes apdi businesses. Boilers, fueled by 110,000 pounds of trash per hour, drive two 7,000-ton chillers, provide steam for heating and also produce electricity-and at the same time the city has eased its problem of solid waste disposal. The North Carolina Department of Education has prepared an Energy ' Program Manual to help school superintendents plan and organize energy education in local school systems. In Illinois' St. Clair county, an ambitious energy- conservation program in­ cludes free home energy surveys and grants to the poor, the elderly, and the disabled for making their houses weather-tight. The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit authority has added busses and runs to its schedule and is per­ suading major downtown Pregnant, NEED HELP?

Industry, large and small, is just as active. The production of aluminum is highly energy intensive, but aluminum producers have cut energy • use per ton of aluminum by 10.8 percent since 1972 and are seeking further reductions. Litton Industries, retrofitted its microwave oven plant in Sioux Falls, S.D., to save about $27,000 a year in fuel costs. Among the plant's featured: waste heat from manufacturing is used to keep the loading dock area warm. Many companies have set up vanpools for employee comn&ting. As, noted earlier, just , about everyone has gotten into the act. In New Paltz, N.Y., the Wood for Fuel project distributes free firewood to low-income residents and inspects their homes for heat loss and safety problems. The Homer (Alaska) News offers free advertising space for energy-conservation events. The 3,000 residents of Clayton, N.M., have a pet windmill that generates enough electricity to supply 15 percent of their needs, j In Boulder, Colo., t University of Colorado is offering graduate studies in building energy engineering leading to a master's degree. ' And finally, the Dutch Elm club of Oak Park, is off and running every time the city cuts down a tree blighted by Dutch elm disease. As soon as it falls, club members are at work cutting and hauling the wood by hand to heat the senior citizens center. Given the scale of the nation's energy problem, efforts such as these may seem small, but their ac­ cumulated impact is measurable in terms of millions of barrels of oil and billions of dollars. As im­ portant, energy savers have discovered they have not significantly changed their way of living. And that's exactly what seems to be happening. Johnsburg V .

A seminar designed to give manufacturers basic in­ formation on exporting will be held at McHenry County college Tuesday, Dec.4.The! seminar is being sponsored by the seven McHenry County Chambers of C o m m e r c e , M c H e h r y County college, the Nor­ thwest International Trade club, and the U.S. Depart­ ment of Commerce. The program is targeted toward the manufacturer who does not export his product, but would like- to learn what is involved in consideration of doing so. Those already exporting will have the opportunity to implement suggestions on improving the business. Of the 20,000 manufac­ turing firms in Illinois, 11 percent do exporting from the state. The estimated total exports for the State of Illinois for 1978 amounted to almost 10 billion dollars, of which an estimated 8 billion was in manufactured goods and 2 billion in agricultural products. Eighty percent of *^)is total was realized by just 70 manufacturers. Tom DeSeve, an in­ ternational trade specialist with the U.S. Department of Commerce, will be the first speaker at 8:30 a.m. with an explanation of the com­ m e r c e d e p a r t m e n t programs and services. He will cover areas including finding customers and promoting the product overseas. Albert Naveja, senior vice- president of the Harris bank in Chicago will speak on the problem of financing ex­ ports. Payment and risk insurance are areas he will cover. Dean Martin, vice- president of Midwest Overseas, Inc., will speak on shipping, packaging, and documentation: Selection of a freight forwarder will also be part of his presentation. During the lunch break local manufacturers will tell about their experiences in exporting. Marvin Richer of Brock Equipment will be one of the speakers telling about the exporting process of his company. The afternoon session will begin at 1:30 p.m. featuring a panel made up of the morning speakers an­ swering questions from the audience. The cost of the seminar includes materials and a light lunch. To register, call McHenry County college, 455-3700, ext. 253, or a Chamber of Commer^ office. BIBLE VERSE ' 'Let your speech be always with grace., sea­ soned with salt." 1.
