Energy lecture at Beahm Jr. High
A demonstration-lecture
on energy, conducted by
the Nuclear Engineering
Department of the Penn-
sylvania State University,
will be presented at W.IL
Beahm Junior High School
on February 8, 1977.
The program, titled En-
ergy today and tomorrow,
is designed to acquaint
students with the basic
principals of energy, ener-
gy problems, and the
complex social, economic,
and mechanical problems
behind energy production.
Mr. James Shillenn will
present the assembly pro-
gram, which is a lively
educational program cover-
ing what energy is, fuels
used, methods of genera-
tion, future fuels, and the
environmental, social, and
economic aspects of energy
use. Mr. Shillenn has
completed extensive train-
ing in the energy field at
Oak Ridge Associated Uni-
versities and the Pennsyl-
vania State University.
Special designed elec-
tronic equipment is used
during the 50-minute pro-
gram to demonstrate the
energy sources, electric
power generation, supply
and demand, environmen-
tal cleanup, and conser-
vation.
A blackboard talk or
demonstration lecture to
science classes, which
deals more specifically with
the topics of fuels, energy
growth, cost-benefits, en-
vironmental impact and
careers in energy fields
follows the assembly.
The Energy Today and
Tomarrow program sched-
uled here is one of 12
similar units appearing
daily at high schools and
junior high schools
throughout the country.
They are part of a lecture-
demonstration program of
the Oak Ridge Associated
Universities designed to
bring a greater understand-
ing of energy and its
complexities.

February 2, 1977
Forest fire crew reviews the year
During the regular mget-
ing on January 12, the
E-town—Mt. Joy Forest
Fire Crew released the
following information rela-
tive to its accomplishments
during 1976 and its plans
for 1977:
The organization began
1976 with 40 Crew mem-
bers and 20 Auxiliary .
members. Minor gains and
losses were experienced
during the year and as of
December 31, 1976, the
membership figures remain
the same.
Work on the Crew build-
ing, located on Greentree
Road in Mount Joy Town-
ship, is slightly behind
schedule. The building is,
however, expected to be
completed within the next
month or two. Work on:
the building has been
done, almost exclusively,
by Crew members and
friends of the Crew on a
part-time basis.
The Crew’s total income
for 1976 was $10,243.00.
This income was derived
from donations, contribu-
tions, Crew and Auxiliary
fund-raising projects, and
membership dues. The
Crew paid expenses of
$10,080.00 during 1976 and
has additional accounts
payable, as of December
31, 1976, of $6,326.00. The
largest single block of
expenses related to the
construction of the Green-
tree station; however, addi-
tional expenses were incur-
red for vehicle operation
and maintenance, com-
munications equipment,
tools, insurance, and nor-
mal operating expenses.
The Crew obtained FCC
authority to discontinue
radio communications on
27.265 MHz (AM) and to
begin radio communication
on 45.04 MHz (FM). The
new communications net-
work became official on
January 1, 1977.
The Crew and Auxiliary
plan several fund raising
activities for the near
future. The Auxiliary will
have a bake and craft stand
in Park City on February 4
and 5, 1977. In addition,
serial numbered commem-
orative mugs are being sold
by the Crew.
The Spring fire training
session is tentatively
scheduled to be conducted
on a week-end just prior to
the Spring and Fall fire
seasons.
The Crew’s annual ban-
quet will be held on
Saturday, March 19, 1977,
in the Rheems fire hall.
Tickets may be obtained
from any Crew member or
by calling 653-2130.
The Crew is planning a
Woodsmen'’s festival which
will be held late next
Summer or early Fall.
All interested residents
of Mount Joy Township,
Elizabethtown, Mount Joy
Borough, and the surround-
ing areas are invited to
visit the Crew’s new build-
ing on Greentree Road.
The best time to visit the
building is on any Saturday
morning. The Crew, which
meets at 7:30 p.m. on the
second Wednesday of each
month, also welcomes new
membership applications
from anyone interested in
fire fighting and conserva-
tion.

PP&L cautions users of electric
Pennsylvania Power &
Light Company is urging
all customers to use ex-
treme caution if planning to
use portable electric heat-
ers to supplement home
heating systems during
bitter cold weather.
According to Arthur Van
Horn, PP&L supervisor of
Consumer & Community
Programs, the heaters will
probably be used in in-
creasing numbers because
some customers may have
problems with their heating
systems or they may face
possible shortages of other
fuels.
Van Horn said, ‘‘While
there are no restrictions on
electric supplies at present,
homeowners in particular
should be careful when
using portable electric
‘heaters for prolonged per-
iods and especially over-
night or while they are
unattended.”
He said that some port-
able electric heaters could
overload some wiring cir-
cuits especially in older
homes or they might be
placed too close to draper-
ies or bedding. In both
cases, there is real danger
of fire. He also cautioned
parents to quard against
letting small children play
near the heater since there
is a possibility that they

“In all cases,” he added,
"if a circuit breaker trips
or a fuse blows because of
an electric heater or heat-
ers, the cause should be
determined and corrected
before the heater is used
again. If in doubt, call a
qualified serviceman.”

Van Horn summarized by
saying that using electric
heaters for long periods of
time will cause a sharp
increase in electric bills.
He said, ‘‘All customers
should moderate their use
of electricity, not only to
help conserve energy re-
sources but to hold down
the size of electirc bills.”
