Not all the oil shortage comes from the Arab blockade,
gas guzzling autos, controls imposed by environmentalists
and bumbling bureaucrats.
Recent surveys indicate almost a third of the heat used in
industrial processes is wasted That translates into the
equivalent of 5.6 million barrels of petroleum a day. Pre-
venting that waste, which is possible with existing tech-
nology would cover predicted petroleum shortages for the
last half of 1974 and all of 1975. Installation costs would be
more than met by lower fuel bills. Major savings would be
possible within months.

An unlimited supply of energy has never been available
to us or to any other species in the history of the earth he
says. Its gradual release over the decades could, in an in-
sidious way. be as devastating as its sudden release in a hy-
drogen bomb
It is possible that we could support a sustained popula-
tion explosion for several hundred years and continue to
multiply after there is “standing room only." We might be
able to by-pass green plants by synthesizing carbohydrates
and proteins. We could built cities on the deserts, on the •
mountains and in the seas. on all the lands that are pres-
ently fields and forests.
But along the way, the majority of animal species re-
maining now would certainly vanish (and in this light it is
ironic that the National Wildlife Federation is among those
pushing for "ultimate energy). These species would no
more be missed than the buffalo is missed in New York
City:
The long-term solution to the "energy crisis,” says

anything, even more hopelessly partisan Among the five

Against this background of a United Nations engaged

conflict have produced few constructive results.

Faltering fqmilies
at root of problems
By JIMMY R. ALLEN
.SAN ANTONIO—Recent studies reveal another increase in
the number of marriages that are failng in our society. The
trend has been upwa rd for some time The single parent home
is shouldering an increasing load for fashioning the lives of
America s young. The number of children which are denied the
privilege of being shaped in a stable family environment is
increasing
The picture is not all bleak Many a single parent has in-
tensified his or her efforts to compensate for the deficiendies of
the structure by giving great attention and energy to the
rearing of the young. The marriage that has already failed
inside without breaking down in its structure oftentimes .
parents the young in an inadequate and destructive fashion
The sign of the failure of families is not simply the statistics in
the divorce court. It also is to be found in the number o
emotionally destructive family situations in which young
people flounder in seeking to find their way
Just over a year ago a national magazine published the
results of its survey on family life. Of aU the fascinating,
complex, sometimes paradoxical findings in that report, none
was more striking than the answer to the question about
opinions concerning the single greatest threat to family life in
the nation today Materialism was cited by more than 125 000
readers, or 37 per cent i Myles Callum, Better Homes and
Gardens, November 1973 >. There is a massive consumer
orientation to our society. In 1971 we bought 6.3 million color
television sets and 2.7 million corn poppers. We are a
materialistically oriented society in our consumption
A great number of young people have revolted against this
total consumer oriented life They are searching for spiritual
values that are deeper than things. They see the emptiness in
the lives of those who have been trapped in the cycle o
scrambling for material security. However, a great number o
the young are following in the paths of their eiders and are
being scarred by the same acids of materialism that their
parents are affected by.
Integrity and wholeness need to be nurtured within the
family. It can be nurtured only by example When the parent is
lacking it, that communicates to the child When there is
disharmony within, the child is affected by it. The greatest
single gift parents can give their children in the Christmas
season is not a tinselled toy nor an expensive purchase. It is to
give them a father and a mother committed to the deepest
kinds of spiritual values. It is to give them parents who not only
love them in theory but in truth ft is to give them parents who
understand that their role is to represent the Heavenly Father
n guiding the child toward fulfillment.

Ma Bell’s not so bad, maybe
tLompiamsomplaint about the telephone system - Here s
The current Moscow telephone directory the first to be
published incidentally. since 1958 _ is priced at "12rubies
per four-volume set reports the National Enquirer That s
♦ 10
The directories are being sold on a first-come rirst served
basis at the city s newsstands There s only 50.080 of them to
82 around Ot some 700 000 private subscribers and 150 000
phones in communal apartments
aThe new directories give instructions lor direct long dis
tance dialing which is just being introduced in the Soviet
l mon But it requires dialing a finger-taxing 16-digit num
sertesompared 10 " digits for most place in ,h' united '
These would require no new equipment - only better
management, maintenance and repair practices. Numbers
of the devices required for additional waste prevention
could be produced and installed rather quickly
Cement kilns now being introduced in West Europe can
cut operating fuel requirements almost a third
Engineers at the Hoogovens ljmuiden steel plant in the
Netherlands reduced fuel consumption 25 per cent and in-
creased production 12 per cent by installing a computer-
controlled program to manage the fuel flow to furnaces.
Experts in metal processing have estimated that if cur-
rently-known economically justifiable technology were to
be applied fully to furnace design, heat soaking pit designs
and thermal management of processes, the over-all fuel re-
quirements of steel making could be cut as much as 20 per
cent
Overall, the regular adjusting of industrial furnaces ev-
ery two to four weeks could save as much as 15 per cent of
the fuel used
A F Waterland of Du Pont gives examples of energy sav-
ings of S500.000 a year by closing leaks in an oil refinery-
Careful management of large refrigeration plants has
been shown to conserve as much as 12 per cent of the
electrical energy required without sacrifice of perfor-
mance.
Approximately half of the heat generated by combustion
in industrial plants escapes in the flue gas exhausted from
the furnace But Sani Dairy of Johnston, Pa., has installed a
recovery system that warms their 13,600 square foot
warehouse with heat developed from the flue gasses of the
process boilers
Further, in certain cases. the reject heat from large ther-
mal processing plants such as cement kilns would be more
than sufficient to heat nearby small towns The technology
and equipment are readily available
Warm exhaust air could be used in some industrial plants
to preheat incoming cold fresh air and conserve 20 to 60 per
cent of the fuel required
G Decker of Dow Chemical Company has reported that
by changing from water to a special fluid, as a heat
transfer medium, approximately 50 per cent of the fuel con-
sumption in one process steam operation could be saved
By replacing direct heating of polymeric resin coatings
as a method of curing with curing by ultraviolet radiation,
some manufacturers have been able to reduce the total fuel
requirements for one resin curing operation from 12 million
BTU to 300,000 BTU
Alcoa Corporation experts believe a new already-devel-
oped smelting process could cut electricity use 30 per cent
in the aluminum industry, which uses about 4 per cent of
the nation’s electricity
Some of these techniques and devices are new Some
have been around for some time, but not adopted because
the emphasis in much of industry has been on increased
production not on fuel efficiency A share of the new
-devices could have been developed years ago were it not
for the fact that 96 per cent of the federal energy research
funds have been devoted to fuel development. power gener-
ation. power transmission and supply of energy and less
than 2 per cent to more efficient ways of using fuel
What is written above does not by any means apply to all
companies Some firms have been in the forefront of energy
conservation and efficient energy use Some have very ac-
tive programs aimed at assisting their consumers in fuel
saving techniques

Dear Editor:
Although you may nevr publish my tetter, I would like to
write in answer to Danny J Neal, sheriff of Brown County
First, we definitely are not a new religious group. I, speaking
far myself, am only trying to be a Christian, believing the
Word of God as the Bible presents it, trying to live by the
teachings of Jesus and lifting Jesus up in all things.
I have a good job. I am dependable, I do not “cart things
off,” I have a child getting ready to go to school this semester,
and I dull in all ways obey the laws of the land as the Bible and
teachings of Jesus leads us to.
I’m certain I speak for many others ;and an opinion should
never be formed because of just a few.

Dear Editor:
Historians say that one of the things that led to the decline of
the mighty Roman Empire was going to the extreme on sports.
The schools and colleges are turning out a generation that is
going to the extreme on sports. One writer said the majority
are more interested and concerned about the results of a
football game than they are in what is happening to their
country.
When our state capital in Austin was dedicated 28-year-old
Temple Houston, youngest son of General Sam Houston, made
an address, which I think was equal to Lincoln's famous
Gettysburg address or any other that I have ever read
Among other things, he said that the decline of great nations
had usually begun with the decline of public morals, I am sad
to say they surely are on the decline in our beloved U.S.A.
The use of alcohol and other drugs is increasing, abortions
are becoming casual and commonplace and one does not have
to go to Watergate to find corruption.
Nearly everybody from the government on down is far in
debt for comforts, luxuries and pleasures

WASHINGTON (NEA
It's now a fairly strong bet that despite his present pro-
testations to the contrary, Vice President Gerald Ford will
bea live candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in
1976
The polls which quickly thrust him to the fore don't mean
much today except recognition as result of his long grilling
in Congress But they may come to mean a lot more if he is
sustained at fairly high levels
For one thing. that very process has given him a verdict as
clean. if somewhat bleached and bland He gets automatic
good marks for accepting the good soldier's role, and seems
unlikely to be tarnished by it, no matter what the revelations
about the Nixon regime
Furthermore, a good many party people, including some
' segments of the leadership. max be drawn to Ford by the
awareness that, in the circumstances of Watergate and sur-
rounding issues, he might become president at any time.

will either resign or be impeached But the mere prospect
will give him special political life

varied illnesses put his then vice president in a posture of

leaders were almost afraid to oppose Nixon. for fear he

Ford, to be sure, will have handicaps to overcome He will
not have had the lengthy national exposure Richard Nixon
had enjoyed by 1959-60
And he will need to build a strong personal staff, well

.Some of our recent vice presidents have not been con-
spicuously endowed with broad-scope assistants of high
talent Ford already is being watched closely on this front.
His Position virtually guarantees his steady access to the
