A The weatherization program is an effort of the Community Services Ad­ ministration (CSA> and the Department of Energy (DOE) to ease the burden of rising fuel costs of poor and near poor individuals and families of the county. The underlying assumption is that the problems created by the energy crisis have severely limited the ability to maintain minimum living conditions for some in­ dividuals One problem associated with the program is that no funds are provided for labor. This is provided by the Department of JUabor under the Com­ prehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). Q What is the goal of the program? A The major purpose of the weatherization program is to enable low income individuals and families, especially elderly and handicapped low>income persons, to participate in energy conservation programs designed to lessen the impact of the high cost of energy, and to reduce individual and family energy consumption. Q Who is eligible A Those elderly individuals or families 60 vears old and older who own a home < in some cases, rentals are accepted), and who meet one of the two programs y. What are the differences between the guidelines of the two programs? A The regulations of the1 CSA and DOE programs differ only in the areas of income guidelines and the amount of money that can be spent on individual homes. CSA income guidelines calls for 125 percent of the poverty level and up to $350 to be spent on any one home DOE income guidelines calls for 100 percent of the poverty level, and allows up to $400 to be spent on any one home. Q What does the program do° A There are three priorities of the programs: I Repairs to stop heat loss through infiltration, e.g., by repairing broken windows, patching roofs and walls, caulking cracks and joints, and weather stripping doors and windows; 2. insulation of a blanced combination of energy-saving home improvements, including insulation, storm windows and doors, eg. insulation of attics, walls, floors, and exposed heating ducts, and the in­ stallation of storm windows and doors; and 3. where needed, the ad­ justment and repair of heatine systems, e.g., the repair of heating systems, or the replacement of dangerous heating sources. \ Q. Where does one go for assistance? A, The local Community Action Agency <CAA> or Com­ munity Based Organization (CBO) implements the weatherization program. In most instances, if you are unable to go to the agency, you can call and someone will come out to assist you. Q." Why has winterization work not been completed that was started some time ago"' A. New contracts will be let within 30-45 days, and labor will be available so that work can be completed as soon as weather permits after that time Write or call us as Lietuenant Governor Dave O'Neal's Senior Action centers at 160 North LaSalle.

"How about fortnight?" was the un-helpful hint . Ray Fitzgerald. ad­ ministrator of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). announced that 1978-crop corn are ac­ cepted for immediate entry into the farmer-owned reserve since Nov. 30, because the feed grain reserve target will have been reached. Producers are reminded that 1976 and 1977 crop feed grains remain eligible for the farmer- owned reserve. Wheat and rice reserves are not affected by the action No further applications for immediate entry of 1978- crop corn are being accepted at this time According to the latest data submitted by ASCS field of­ ficers. the reserve contains 697.2 million bushels of feed grains, 675 1 million bushels of barley. 39.5 million bushels of oats, and 72.4 million bushels of sorghum On Aug 7, Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland said he would permit early entry of corn and sorghum if it ap­ peared by Oct. 1 that the reserve goals would not be met from 1977-crops At that time Secretary Bergland said the department had set a reserve goal of 670 million bushels (corn equivalent > of feed grains, including 500-575 million bushels of corn and 40-60 million bushels of sorghum.. This includes feed grains held in the reserve as well as feed grains the government has taken over through its price support loan program About 60 million bushels of sorghum were in reserve Oct. 1, and immediate entry of 1978-crop sorghum was not authorized. Last August and October the secretary had indicated that early entry would be permitted until it appeared reserve ob­ jectives would be met. Fitzgerald said the feed grain loan program remains open and that eligible producers may continue to receive loans on their 1978 crops of barley, corn. oats, and sorghum TURN ONS What happened to your marriage?
