Thursday, September 2,1982 Time For Energy Future We live in a world with a limited carrying capacity for all life. The supply of coal, oil, and natural gas is limited. The number of people in the world is in creasing by 194,000 per day. That is a net increase of births over deaths. Much of the world’s forest land is being mined just to supply firewood. Mining means a one time extraction of a resource, and when forests are cleared and not replanted the wood resource has been mined. Clearly, the time has come to control our num bers, and to build a sustainable energy future. Those technologies which use renewable energy sources with minimal pollution and encourage recycling of nutrients can well be called “Appropriate Technologies.” Appropriate Technology is not just for technologists however; the technologies are ap propriate because they are geared to people’s needs, skills and available resources within a given region. The Earth Studies Program is organizing a one of a kind conference to bring those who received grants under the Department of Energy’s Appropriate Technology - Small Grants Program together to meet with each other and with educators and interested members of the public. The Conference will take place at the Mission School Conference Center in Valle Crucis, North Carolina on September 28 and 29, 1982. David Schoonmaker of the Mother Earth News will be the first of a series of speakers addressing the various levels at which Appropriate Technology (AT) may operate. Schoonmaker will be speaking about AT on the personal level, and how you can integrate a number of technologies on a homestead. At the community level, Bill Dow will speak about his experience with the Greenhouse Employment Project and how AT can foster self - reliance and community spirit. Neal Elliott of the N.C. State University Industrial Extension Service will show how institutions can encourage the use of AT. Elliott specializes in con verting oil burning facilities to using wood for fuel. Dr. J.L. Mackey teaches * t course in Bio - Regions il Adaptation through the Earth Studies Program an d he will speak about AT on the regional level. Merton Cregger with tl ie Center of Improving Mountain Living, and for merly with CARE, w ill speak on the use of AT on an international basis. Having had experience working with the National Center for Appropri ate Technology and with the Tennessee Valley Authoi: -ity, Brian Crutchfield will de • fine the role of Appropriate Technology today. On Tuesday after noon time will be set asick:; for exhibits by grantees and other practitioners of' Ap propriate Technology., and for discussions among in dividuals with simili tr in terests. Those who wi sh to, may tour the 17 kilowatt micro - hydro stati on on Laurel Creek and t he 1.5 kilowatt wind genenator on the Episcopal Mission farm property. At 7:30 P.M. we w ill show the new film, Lovinig on the Soft Path whicl i stars Amory Lovins and his wife Hunter. Using curr<ent date, they will present the case for using AT to cut our reliance on fotisil and nuclear fuels. Following the/ movie, slides will be shown of Appropriate T« jchnology projects in Nortf h Carolina. There will also t ie time for questions and answers about the film or AT projects. On Wednesday there will be two session.'* gang on simultaneously from 9 A.M. to 11:15 A.M. One will be geared towns-d AT en trepreneurs, id the other will concentrate on strategies for bi inching AT in the classroom, and in the community.

S eaman Returns From Deployment 1 Vavy Seaman Apprentice Ja mes B. Phelps, son of Jcimes M. and Belver Phelps, Creswell, recently r< ‘turned from a deployment t<) the Mediterranean Sea. He is a crewmember a (board the combat store 5 ihip USS Concord, l iomeported in Norfolk, Va. During the six - month •deployment, his ship ser viced Sixth Fleet ships in the area with food, consumables and technical supplies. Over 10,000 tons of cargo were delivered to complete 160 replenishments. Port visits were made to France, Italy and Spain. The Concord is 581 feet - long and carries a crew of 486. Social Security And Students Lee E. Wallio Field Representative Social Security benefits for students age 18 - 22, which were stopped last May, will resume with the September checks. However, the amount of the September checks will be about 25 per cent lower than they were last spring. These changes result from Congressional action to phase student benefits out of the Social Security program over the next four years. Eligible students will receive a “beginning of school year” reporting form during the first weeks of the fall term. The report asks about school attendance and work. The student should complete the form and give it to the school registrar for certification and mailing to Social Security. If the report is not com pleted and returned promptly, benefits may be stopped. Student benefits may also be affected if the student works during the year and earns more than $4,440. Earnings a student has during months he did not receive benefits count toward the $4,440 limit. One dollar in benefits in withheld for each $2 of earnings above $4,440. Benefits to students age 18 • 22 who remain eligible will continue until they reach age 22 or until April, 1985, whichever comes first. Students now becoming eligible for benefits can receive benefits only until age 19 as long as they are full time high school students. More information about Social Security benfits for students can be obtained by calling the Elizabeth City Social Security staff at 338 - 2161.
