i I'ever use hairdryers while ir\ or around Auto Service T ips UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH 0 health column from the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Social Services To Fit A Neighborhood's Needs Wherever you live, you be­ long to a neighborhood, and the chances are that your neighborhood is not making the most of its social service resources. To find out how people use their community services, Rachelle and Donald Warren spent five years in on-the-spot neighborhood research under National Institute p(, Mental Health grants. They inter­ viewed a cross-section of residents in eight different communities in and near Detroit, Michigan. These peo­ ple talked freely about wor­ ries--pranging from "the blues" to local crime--and named the persons or organi­ zations that helped them re­ solve their problems. Now, the Warrens have published their findings in The Neighborhood Organi­ zes Handbook, a guide to the effective use of social services, both official and in­ formal. The Handbook em­ phasizes the benefits to be gained from meshing three types of "helping systems": professional counseling agen­ cies, "quasi-institutional" churches and voluntary asso­ ciations, and informal net­ works of family and friends. An ideal community uses *11 three systems to the full, but this balance is hard to achieve. Some people are in­ timidated by formal treatment ibethods. Others are isolated by lack of communication in their neighborhoods. And fiany who do seek profes­ sional help become lost in in­ stitutional red tape. ' The Warrens believe that the type of service needed de­ pends on community type. They list six variants of "neighborhood," ranging from "integral" (close-knit, with ties to the larger community) to "anomic" (disorganized, passive, and cut off from the larger community). The serious community or- Snizer must always keep two ctors in mind: whether the problem requires professional %nd/or "lay" service and how a given community can best provide that service. ' Most chapters close with a list of "organizer's exercises": readers answer questions about their situations and are taught by their own responses. A concluding chapter, en­ titled "How to Diagnose a Neighborhood," lists the ma­ jor took to use and ap­ proaches to make in the actual organization of an area.

Safe New as Little Safe, toasty warmth for chilly, hard-to-heat rooms -- for the mere cost of running a lightbulb or two? Sounds futuristic, doesn't it? But it's here now! The low-energy Aztec Radi­ ant Heater™ panels, which just arrived on the market last year, warm up cold bath­ rooms, bedrooms, workshops, basements--any chilly spot in the house -- using as little as 350 watts of electricity and allowing thermostats to be turned down low. Called a "breakthrough for radiant heating" by Business­ week magazine, the UL-listed, low-energy heating panels (they simply hang on the wall like pictures) operate on a simple principle: a silicon- coated surface provides a high capacity to send out heat, with an efficiency 10 times greater than its surface size. At the same time, the mil­ lions of tiny silicon crystals serve to keep the surface "cool",^ below 200°P, providing a safe surface which won't scorch walls or ignite cloth. Even when left on for long periods, the heater cannot overheat. So safe they are used to provide gentle, noiseless heat in hospital baby wards, the panels come in 2' x 2' and 2' x 3' sizes in a choice of at­ tractive silk-screened designs. The 2' x 3' picture panel uses only 500 watts of electricity and can provide supplemental heat for a 10' x 15' area. For the home handyman who wants to install total heat in a new home or room addition, Aztec has "home improvement" panels, 2' x 2' and 2' x 4', available at home improvement centers or hard­ ware stores. An ideal, low-cost heat source, they are cheaper Panel Heaters Operate for Cost as Two Lightbulbs! BATHROOM WARM-VP ... The UL-listed Aztec Heaters hang on the wall like pictures. Bath heater keeps a 5' x 8' room toasty; uses only 350 watts, 3.2 amp, HOv. and easier to install than baseboard heat. The panels are installed in ceilings and walls, out of the way of furni­ ture and kids. (And for those who wonder about heat from the ceiling, remember it's hot air that rises, not heat. The radiant heat goes directly to warm people and objects in the room.) The "home improvement" panels are as easy to install as wiring in a lighting fixture, the Aztec's manufacturers say. With no moving parts or blowers to wear out or mal­ function, no drying or blow­ ing of the air, and a very low cost to operate, the UL-listed heaters proved to be lifesav- ers for many families in fuel- short areas last winter. The manufacturers expect interest in the panels to jump dra^ matically as shortages^! home heating fuel increase. Meanwhile, customers re­ port they are using the fuel- saving panels not only in homes, but in greenhouses, milking barns, garage work­ shops, in basements where pipes need to be kept from freezing, and on boats. One man even bought an Aztec portable heater to comfort his heat-loving cat while he was at work. Aztec Heating panels may b e f o u n d a t d e p a r t m e n t stores, hardware and home improvement stores. Or write to Aztec Marketing Division, Dept.
