Hope In Despair
By Rev. Wallace Schulz
Lutheran Hour Speaker
Let the dramatic exam-
ple of the life of St. Paul
be an inspiration in your
life. Any problems you
may have can be overcome
by the strength God is of-
fering you. Your worries
can be subdued by the
Spirit-planted conviction
that God works out all
things for the benefit of
those who love Him.
The heartbeat of hope is
faith in God.

Additional insulation in ceilings,
walls and floors could lower the
heating and cooling portion of
your electric bill as much as
20%-30%. In the Seseo service
area, about 70% of your bill is nor-
mally for cooling and heating;
20% for water heating and 10% for
cooking and other appliances.
Check out insulation costs and do
at least what you can afford. Also
consider caulking, weatherstrip-
INSULATION
ping and storm doors and win-
dows. Ceiling fans will help, too.
The savings could be important
to you. If your home was "substan-
tially completed" before April 20,
1977 you may take a credit on
your federal tax return of 15%
of the first $2,000 you spend
on qualifying energy saving
devices.*
"Current regulations.
Insulation is measured by "R" values — the higher the number
the more resistance to winter heat loss and summer heat gain.
Recommended "R" values for the Seseo service area are:
ceilings, R-26; walls, R-19; and floors with crawl space, R-ll. The
cost to achieve these "R" values should be about the same with
either batts, blankets, or loose fill.
THERMAL PANE DOORS & WINDOWS
=6-
If insulating is something you don't want to dq just now, con
sider thermal pane doors and windows. They won't reduce
your bill as much, but you will realize some savings on your
utility costs.
