—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. April 14. 1973 32 Consumers Need to Know by LEE LANDIS America is an energy-con scious nation. It has to be. We love appliances, and most every home has several. We own millions of T’ ts, air conditioners, and rigera tors. A black-out la any area could be a disaster. With “brown-outs” experi enced in various sections of the country, consumers are beginning to realize that our “fuel gauge” is dropping. We are consuming our natural energy resources at a rate which cannot be sustained for many more years. It’s going to take every one’s cooperation to conserve our petroleum and natural gas until new sources of power are found. Not only must we make the most efficient use of our supplies, but we must be sure that the proper legisla tion is passed for a national energy policy. The National Association My Neighbors Hi'r r> “I got a theory—always leave ’em laughing.. of Manufacturers’ president, E. Douglas Kenna, warned that the country* might be. saddled with an unproven and restrictive national energy system. Speaking before the Electric and Gas Industries Association, he pointed out that legislators are not mov ing ahead on a national policy because the public has not made their opinions known. The NAM has been aware of potential fuel shortages for some time now and advo cates a national policy which would resolve differences be tween energy producers and consumers, as well as recog nize the need to protect the environment. The same healthy competitive system, which has given American consumers such a high stand ard of living, is needed to help shape the nation’s energy policy. The important thing for consumers to watch is that legislation not be passed re stricting our free enterprise and right to choose. Mr. Kenna said the next 11 years will be the crucial period. By 1985 our long over due nuclear power should take its place as a substantial supplier of energy. WE'RE INTERESTED IN ECOLOGT! With our completely covered lots and a sun roof with an open peak, rain water does not enter the bay area and maximum evaporation of animal liquids is obtained. An “all-drained” floor system is installed and a curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading system. By preventing manure run-off the surrounding area is not polluted. Yes, since your urban neighbors and government fathers are interested in ecology, we are ready to help you build a system that will put you ahead on the pollution problem.
