Attorney George W.

charges and to represent
Allen, said Wednesday
that he has not com

McNeill decided last
Tuesday against obtain
ing a warrant against Of

ting for a second time.
McNeill agreed to wait,
upon advice of Public

Magistrates had denied
McNeill a warrant
because of the impen
ding investigation. After
a telephone conversation
with magistrates, Judge
J. Milton Read, Jr.,
cleared the way for
McNeill to obtain a war
rant. Read told a
magistrate that warrants
are denied not on the
basis of an investigation,
but because the evidence
presented is insufficient.

Dr. Robinson visited
' Nigeria, '.- Botswana,',
Zambia and Zimbabwe.
He talked with political :
and academic t officials
about . developing
linkages with African
universities and
historically black , col
leges. He also discussed
the "possibility of a
faculty-student exchange
program, joint publica
tion of scientific jour
nals, and joint 'seminars
and conferences."
In the summer of
1980, college presidents
and representatives of
about sixty American
and African universities
met in Bellagio, Italy to
discuss the idea of
faculty-student exchange
programs. Robinson was
elected president of a
steering committee to
consolidate the findings
of the discussion.

confident about the out

"we will make sure the
linkages developed bet

universities and African

they can be; that visiting
professors are matched
with a host institution
that can best meet their
needs."
"It would be a tremen

HOW TO IMPROVE FURNACE EFFICIENCY
Although a reputable furnace professional can
check and make any major repairs to your home's
heating system, there are many maintenance pro
cedures that you can follow to keep the furnace
running smoothly and efficiently during the winter
months ahead.
If your furnace hasn't already had its annual
start-up inspection, now's the time to call in a pro
for this job, advises the Better Business Bureau.
Also at this time be aware of gyp artists posing as
furnace repair persons from utility companies, fire
departments, and local government. These "inspec
tors" would have you sign a contract for extensive
repairs or even a completelnew heating plant based
on their "inspection."
The BBB warns that these "fly-by-afternooners"
frequently knock at, your door late in the day and
announce that their "crew" has just completed a
job 'on a neighbor's furnace or ducting system.
They are "willing" to inspect your heating system,
with no obligation, of course, while they are in the
area. If you permit, they will probably dismantle
the heating system and get you to sign a contract
for repairs or replacement while you sadly observe
the component parts spread across the-basement
floor.
Never let anyone have access to your furnace or
heating system until you are satisfied that the firm
is reputable, advises the Better Business. Bureau.
You can check with the BBB for information on
any unknown firms or firms you mayhaye doubts
about. Remember: reliable firms do not use scare
tactics, and they seldom make door-to-door
solicitation for business.
Maintenance You Do
A typical heating plant has an oil, gas, or elec
tric burner that produces heat that heats air or
water. The air is forced through metal ducting to
registers throughout your home. If water, the hot
water is piped to the different rooms. Most forced
air furnaces have filters. The filters are usually
positioned between the cold air return and the
blpwer at the front or the side of the furnace hous
ing. Look for a metal panel marked "filter." The
panel usually is held by screws or spring catches
that you remove with a screwdriver to gain access
to the filter. '
Some filters, often found on heat pump
systems, are exposed and may be simply polled up
and out and replaced. All filters are markbd with
the size and air flow direction along one edge.
Make sure the replacement filter matches the old
filter in size; place the filter so the arrows point in
the same direction as the air flow from the cold air
return. This probably will be marked on the
framework of the filter holder or furnace.
The filters should be changed at the start of
every heating season and at least every six weeks
during the season. Don't attempt to clean the
filters unless they are specifically designed to be
cleaned and re-used. The filter material has special
dust-attracting chemicals on it. New filters are so
inexpensive that cleaning them is not a bargain.
Check the furnace motors. They should be wiped
clean of dirt and grease. If the motors have littfe oil
ports, squirt in drops of motor oil according to the
type and frequency specified by the manufacturer.
If the furnace has a blower, the bearings at each
end of the blower cage shaft may have oil ports. If
so, lubricate the bearings during the heating
season also according to the manufacturer's in
structions. Dirty blowers often can be cleaned
with the hose attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
Registers and Ducts
All heat and cold air registers and hot water
radiators should be kept clean and free from
obstructions for best efficiency. The easiest clean
ing method is with a hose attachment on a vacuum
cleaner. Remove any drapery, material, rugs,
carpeting, furniture pieces, etc., that could block
the heat flow from the register or radiator.
If the heating system is ducted, run your hand
along the ducts at the joints at the time the blower
is running. When you feel any air leakage, wrap
the duct joint with wide duct tape made especially
for this purpose. Also insulate ducts and pipes
that go through unhealed crawl spaces and base
ment rooms.
Hot water systems sometimes need to be in
sulated. You can do this at the boiler, hot water
storage tank, and hot water pipes that go through
unheated spaces. Make sure you use the proper in
sulation. Special insulation jackets are available for
tanks and "tape" or "wrap" is made for pipes.
