PLAINDEALER PHOTO BUILDERS SEE ADVANCES IN CLIMATE CONTROL Advancing air-conditioning tech­ nology will lead to a number of changes in home construction in the opinion of three climate*-control specialists who participated in a national forum on environmental control sponsored by the Air-Con­ ditioning and Refrigeration Insti­ tute. The panel sees a trend toward greater integration of heating with cooling, and believes there can be considerable economy in installa­ tion of a single system for year- round heating, cooling, and circu­ lation of air. Home builder Robert F. Schmitt, Strongsville, Ohio, points out that several small, flexible units in a home are practical to operate and eliminate a good many indirect in­ stallation costs. They facilitate fixed panes of insulating glass in the house framing, which he says are both economical and permit great­ er architectural freedom, "with whole vistas of glass that are both handsome and airtight." He says that separate packages easily handle the discrepancies be­ tween cooling needs of the second story and the main level of a home, and permit substantial operating economies. Each package system is separately "zoned" with individu­ al controls that permit the home owner to regulate area tempera­ tures as desired in living, sleeping, or other parts of the house. Arthur D. Bogen, Columbus, Ohio, contractor, observes that it is technically feasible to bring the mil­ lions of older U.S. homes up to modern standards of total comfort, but that it requires expert knowl­ edge of the old-house field be­ cause the installing contractor often encounters formidable obsta­ cles. He emphasizes the need for contractor competence in servicing existing equipment, and notes that many homeowners neglect to learn how to properly operate the air- conditioning system. Keeping filters clean is a simple process, he says, but one that many otherwise intelli­ gent home owners virtually ignore.

Cocktail Lounge Open Dailyi Millie Simon at the Piano' Starts April 3() m BY TOM DORR ̂ Because the air-conditioning age imposes a heavy summertime work schedule on cooling contractors, the public is urged to schedule new central cooling installations and routine maintenance during the off­ season whenever possible. The Air-Conditioning and Refrig­ eration Institute counsels that the home, owner will benefit by plan­ ning ahead % Contractors may offer price re­ ductions on new home cooling in­ stallations during the off-season as an incentive that helps keep their crews occupied. They can sched­ ule jobs at the home owner's con­ venience. and usually complete the work quickly and without the emer­ gency interruptions that may occur during periods of hot weather. Maintenance Essential Air-conditioning maintenance, essential to proper system perform­ ance, is also ideally scheduled dur­ ing the off-season. Durable cooling equipment should last about as long as your home, if it is properly installed and operated, and if it is periodically inspected and serv­ iced Most home central systems installed today are made according to the rigid standards of the ARI Certification program, indicated by the blue-and-white ARI Seal on the equipment This Seal assures the buyer that capacity rating is accur­ ate and performance is dependa­ ble. Periodic servicing however, is a necessary part of maintaining a high level of performance, and should be done regularly by a skilled technician. The most practi­ cal approach --winter inspec­ t i o n -- i n v o l v e s m o r e t h a n convenience It is good protection against hot-weather breakdowns Service Contracts Annual service contracts, offered by many firms, are increasingly popular with home owners Terms and coverage should be fully spelled out in the agreement so that you know precisely what parts and labor are included During-inspection, a number of primary checkpoints will be exam­ ined, depending on the type and age of the equipment Fans and motors on the condensing unit and the inside evaporative unit should be oiled The outside condenser should be cleaned, and possibly painted to prevent rust. Filters should be checked and when nec­ essary replaced Electrical switch­ es and contacts should be carefully tested, and the level of the refriger­ ant checked. UNDER TEST . . . The unique Brucker Survival Capsule, which the Coast Guard is evaluating cautiously for suitability as a lifeboat on board merchant ships, rests alongside the Coast Guard Cutter EVERGREEN after free fall tests over the side. The flying-saucer-like device is being carried by the EVER­ GREEN to different areas for testing under varying conditions for the next year or longer.

Versatile Heat Pump Stabilizes Comfort Unusual versatility characterizes the heat pump, a single piece of equipment that delivers either heat^ ing or cooling automatically to maintain a constant temperature in the home throughout the year. The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute reports that heat pumps are popular not only for residential use, but have been successfully in­ stalled to heat and cool schools, motels, stores, and industrial plants. In exceptionally cold climates, a supplemental heat source, such as in-duct resistance heaters, may be added to handle heating on very cold days. Heat Pump Refined The modern heat pump has ben­ efited from a number of refine­ ments in recent years. Ninety per cent of the units made today are covered by ARI's Certification pro­ gram and display the blue-and- white ARI Seal indicating that ca­ pacity ratings are accurate and that the equipment has been tested for dependability. This industry-wide standards program covers units rat­ ed at up to 135,000 Btuh on the cooling side Heat pumps are of compact de­ sign and can be installed incon­ spicuously outside the home or other structure Operation is clean and can be economical. The heat pump operating princi­ ple is relatively simple, ARI says Air conditioning is handled by a regular cooling cycle: As a refriger­ ant passes through evaporative coils, it expands from liquid to va­ por and absorbs heat from the air. A fan blows this cool air to the space to be cooled. The vaporized refrigerant moves through a com­ pressor where it is returned to liq­ uid form, thus releasing heat which is expelled outside by a fan. For heating, the process simply reverses itself, and heat is extract­ ed from an outside source such as air or water, and moved indoors.

Buick Bargain Days are saving days. A bargain price on a stripped-down car is no bargain. But a Buick or Opel at a bargain is something else again Because we re not selling some special stripped down model We re selling Buicks and Opels, the same great cars we've sold all year. Opel 1900 Sport Coupe. With a 1 9 liter engine that operates efficiently on low-lead or no-lead gasolines ^ hydraulic valve lifters for quiet engine operation, power front disc brakes and more With one difference. The deals have never been better. Which means that you can move out in a new Buick or Opel at a price that's hard to believe. When Buick talks about a bargain, we give you something to believe in. *SL Skylark Custom. With Buick s exclusive nickel-plated engine exhaust valves for smoother operation on today s cleaner fuels. Comfort-Flo ventilation system and more BUICK MOTOR DIVISION Your Buick-Opel dealer will give you better reasons to buy a new car now than anybody else. The business of auto safety. Auto safety is everyone's concern. But it's our business. And we think the attention that's being paid to auto safety now is a goo<* thing. Because it will result in better driving for everyone. And, frankly, better driving for everyone means better business for us. We say Buick is something to believe in. That's why we're trying to make it easy to be safe by putting in safety features that work by themselves. You don't have to do anything to make them work. Like side guard beams. And the energy absorbing steering column. And the cargo guard between the trunk and back seat. They start "working" even before you get in the car. But two safety features, two of the most vital, are worthless unless you do something first. Seat and shoulder belts. Unfastened they do nothing. And you've seen enough statistics to know what a' difference they can make. So use them. But that's not all you can do. Because the most ef­ fective safety feature of all can't be added to our cars or anybody else's. That feature is you. And the way you drive. Which should be defensively. And rested. And sober. We're all in this together And together we can solve the auto safety problem once and for all. And the time is now.
