A mild winter and the ter mination of the Arab oil embargo have the public believing energy suppliers "can throw an unbroken string of sevens," said the various state historical societies in Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts, as well as at several major libraries including Penn State, llarvard, the New York Public Library, Philadelphia, and the Library of Congress. The purpose of the stipend is to help college and university teachers and other humanists in their research and self-development as teachers and contributors to learning in the humanities.

Lulled into this false security the public will not "accept with calmness the building of new power plants, or the rate in creases necessary to finance them," the PUC Chief said. "The public will point to the temporary slowing of electric energy demand and consider it as an indication of the future," he predicted. But the long range prospect of ample oil is dim," Bloom warned. "We know a mild winter is not the usual experience...and that people are going to demand more and more electricity for coinestic and industrial use," he said. Bloom exhorted the news media as ti ell as legislators and businessmen to "convince the public" that the energy crisis is real and that steps must be taken now to build for the future and spend huge sums on research. There_is no question that "the energy problem will be solved," Bloom said. The issue is when «ill sub stitutes be found for the con ventional fuels we're now using, the PUC Chairman said. Predicting that nuclear power v, ill triumph in the long-run Bloom said u e must make greater use of coal in the interim. We have coal "in sufficient quantities to last for several hundred years." Bloom said. Yet because of environmental restrictions and the popularity of oil and gas for heating the demand for coal has diminished, he said. To obtain adequate coal sup plies Bloom called for: Rehabilitation of abandoned mines: creation of new coal mines: and development of coal mining as an attractive oc cupation.
