Joe Coover
Joe Coover
gets Eagle Award
Joe Coover got his Eagle
Award last week on
January 11th, at a court of
honor ceremony of Troop
39, Mount Joy. The award
was presented by Dale
Boyer of Marietta.
Joe, 18 years old, is the
son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph F. Coover, 134 N.
High St., Mount Joy. He is
a senior at DHS, where he
is president of the school
band.
To get his Eagle Award,
Joe worked to restore the
parks in Mount Joy. Earlier
he won the ‘‘God and
Country’’ award in 1976
from St. Mark's U.M.
Church.
Joe has been a scout for
ten years, and is a scout
instructor in lifesaving and
swimming. He’s received
seven swimming medals,
and is a member of the
Order of the Arrow.
The Connection
PP&L and other utilities
in the PA-NJ-MD connec-
tion weathered last Tues-
day’s severe weather all
right. The ‘“‘connection’’ is
a massive grid of inter-
connections whereby power
companies buy electricity
from each other and share
loads during shortages.
PP&L managed to send
current to stricken power
plants in the south and
west without causing any
local blackouts or brown-
outs.
The peak load of
Tuesday a week ago was
4,431,000, which compares
to the all-time high which
was set in January, 1977.
Women needed
That load measured in at
4,425,000 nominal kilo-
watts. The wattage at that
time was actually higher,
even though the reading
was lower — it was
recorded during a voltage
reduction, or ‘‘brownout.”
The actual amount of
current was higher.
The coal strike has
meant that power com-
panies must dig into old
stockpiles, which were wet
and are now frozen.
PP&L now has a 57 day
supply of coal. If they run
out, oil must be burned
instead, which will cause a
leap in fuel bills. They
don’t expect this, however.
fo conserve energy
The state Women Com-
mission is going to train
people whose only skill is
"homemaking in energy
conservation. After 24
weeks of training, the
women will, the Commis-
sion hopes, demonstrate
that homemakers can be-
come eligible for a wide
variety of energy related
jobs, such as consumer
services, insulation work,
and ‘‘household mainten-
ance.’’
Mike and Nancy Bubel,
who used to live in Mount
Joy RD1 on Colebrook
Road (they now live in York
County) have written and
gotten published a book
called Working Wood, a
Guide for the Country
Carpenter.
The book, published by
Rodale Press, is about
‘““‘woodbutchery’” — the
making of sturdy, practical
farm equipment and struc-
tures with second-hand
wood. It is illustrated with
drawings and photos.
Starting with a chapter
on where to find second
hand wood, it goes on the
tools and fundamentals of
rough carpentry, and then
into various projects: a
garage, hay rake, sheep
shelter, barn, etc. At the
end is a list of other useful
books.
If this book had come out
a few years ago, it probab-
ly would have been listed
in the Whole Earth
Catalogue. The prose is
folksy, simple, and easy to
understand, the drawings .
in the style frequently
found in counterculture
how-to-do-it books. For a
woodworker, its fun to
browse through, even if
one already knows the
tricks of nail-pulling and
moving heavy objects with-
out expensive professional
equipment.
The book costs $3.95 and
runs 192 pages in paper-
back.
