Sonic booms and rocket ships,
Noises everywhere,
Motorcycles revving up,
Does anybody care?
Though subways are convenient,
And get you places fast,
Their roaring motors echo on.
Long after they have passed.
Garbage trucks at 6 a.m.,
Factories and mills,
It's nice to fix the sidewalks, but
Forget those awful drills !
Noise pollution hurts your ears
And makes your hearing fade,
It's even caused a soaring price
In costs of hearing aides!
Rock and roll on stereos
Can only be liked when
A person doesn't turn the amps
Clear up to number ten!
If people don't start tuning down,
Our ears we'll have to shut.
So quit the racket, cut the NOISE,
And try a whisper... What?

Dig Up A New Solution Soon
By Bringing Coal Into The Future
Let's
No industry has a greater
opportunity to benefit on the
energy crisis than coal. The
United States sits on 20 per cent of
the planet's coal resources, which
consists of more than 3 trillion
tons. Of this, at least 200 billion
tons are commercially and
economically recoverable with
existing mining techniques. That
is a 400 year supply at today's
consumption rates.
- . addition, almost 80 per
cent of America's total fossil fuel
resources and an overwhelming
93 per cent of the world's energy
resources lie in coal deposits. By
the turn of the century, 87 per cent
of the world's oil reserves will
have been exhausted, but only 2
per cent of its coal.
Gas and oil supplies are
decreasing and their cost is rising
at a substantial rate. Nuclear
energy is years behind schedule.
So now all of a sudden, coal is
back in the picture and with a
very bright future. Within the
next decade, coal demands are
expected to climb close to one
billion tons a year. But along that
path to a new prosperity, the coal
industry will have to overcome
some very difficult problems.
The first one is pressure by
environmentalists on curbing
strip mining and to set rules for
ieclamatimi In 1965 only seven
states had reclamation laws. Now
more than 24 states have them. In

1971, 20,369 acres of strip mined
land in West Virginia were
reclaimed, compared to 878 acres
ten years earlier. Pennsylvania
puts heavy emphaiis on
reclamation and ban surface
mining in mountainous regions
that are hard to restore. Also,
coal companies must put up
performance bonds to guarantee
that they will reclaim strip mined
land.
Eafety laws are having
dramatic effects on the coal in
dustry, mainly in underground
mines. The Health and Safety Act
of 1969 was designed to curb the
frequent roof cave-ins, methane
explosions, and other disasters
that have killed more than 1,200
miners and injured about 60,000
others since 1966. The coal
companies claim that meeting
the law's requirements has cost
them more than 1 billion dollars
so far and is drastically cutting
productivity.
The Federal Clean Air Act of
1970 stipulates that no coal user
will be allowed to burn coal with a
sulfur content higher than 0.6 per
cent after 1975. Appalachian coal
ranges from about 2 per cent to 4

per cent sulfur. Western coal,
though, has an average sulfur
content of about 0.4 per cent. But
for the most part, the- Western
coal reserves, which comprise of
about 25 billion tons remain
locked up while the battle rages
between conservationalists and
miners over the new laws over
strip mining. •
"One thing going for coal is that
it is a domestic resource." As a
comparison, the United States
spent $2.7 billion on the im
portation of fuel in 1970. It is
certain that coal is the only fuel
that can fill the gap between the
energy crisis and the dwindling
supply of oil, natural gas.
