The Solar Home
Os Hertford
RALEIGH—The Energy
Division of the North
Carolina Department of
Commerce and the Altar
native Energy Corporation
today announced the
selection of a Hertford solar
home for inclusion in the
Governor’s Showcase of
Solar Homes. Ricky and
Carolyn Trueblood will open
their passive solar home at
315 Artie Street during the
hours of 1-6 P.M. on Sunday,
September 12 and 19.
Hie Governor’s Showcase
of Solar Homes is a program
featuring moderately priced
and conventionally styled
solar homes throughout the
state of North Carolina.
“By the end of 1982, this
Showcase project will give
all the people of our state a
chance to see first hand how
cost-effective a solar in
vestment can be,’’ Hunt said
in announcing the program.
“Every one of our citizens
should be able to visit
several Showcase homes
and see a variety of solar
designs in less than a day’s
drive.”
The Perquimans County
Showcase is a 1,200-square
foot passive home designed
and financed by the Far
mer’s Home Ad
ministration. This house is
oriented due south and
contains a large number of
south-facing windows to
collect solar energy. Half of
the sunlight enters directly
into the living area to
provide daytime heating.
The other half strikes waist
high brick “Trombe” walls
which store the heat for use
at night. After dark, in
sulating shades are lowered
over the windows to cut
down on heat loss.
Over 500 passive solar
homes have been financed
by the Farmer’s Home
Administration in North
Carolina. These homes use
as much as 40 per cent less
energy than their non-solar
counterparts.
Showcase manager John
Manuel says, “We have
been impressed with the
affordability, appearance
and performance of these
FmHA solar homes. It just
goes to show that you don’t
have to sacrifice on cost or
looks to use solar oiergy in a
home.”
The Perquimans County
Showcase is one of 19 solar
homes open to the public in
eastern North Carolina on
September 12 and 19. Maps
to Showcase homes in other
counties will be available at
each house and will be
printed in local newspapers.
Free solar plans and
brochures will also be
available at each solar
house.
Fishing Tips
From Tom Mann
What does “fine tuning” a
lure mean? This is a
question* often asked at
seminars I attend, and I can
understand how it would
puzzle a casual fisherman.
So, let’s unravel the puzzle.
, Fine tuning means ad
justing a lure so it will run
on a true centerline,
especially when operated at
high speeds. You do it by
using a pair of pliers and
bending the line - tie the way
you want the lure to run. In
short, if it drifts a little left
then you bend the line - tie a
little right until it runs on
dead center.
Why should you need to do
this to a quality product like
a Mann lure? Well, we can
make almost perfect run
ners but so long as lures are
assembled by hand there
will be a few misbehavers in
any line of wigging lures.
But, fishermen ask, if
lures wait okay at a normal
rate of retrieve why should
| they be fine timed to work at
1 a high speeds? Now pay
; attention to this answer
; because it could catch you a
• passel of fish.
• Because there are days
* when a super - fast hire,
! either reeled or trolled, will
I trigger strikes that normal
retrievers won’t tempt. So,
; try it, I think you’ll find fish
; like it!
; Brer Tom’s Closing Tip:
* On days when fish are fin -
icky (oh boy!) try abnormal
! things...like v-e-r-y s-l-o-w
retrieves or very fast ones,
I or very noisy or very quiet
ones. If you can’t catch’em,
confuse ’em!
