So, this may just be the year when enough Americans become fed up with the inflation shell game to vote out of office those politicans who refuse to stop spending more than they’re willing to raise in honest taxes. We hope so. Because otherwise our inflation is sure to be ended by recession or depression. And that’s a far worse remedy than balancing the budget and living within our means. — WRAL-TV Editorial An estimated 2.3 million tons of newspapers in 1978 were recycled; 360,000 tons were exported, and 120,000 tons were treated for reuse as building insulation.

Electricity is delivered at nearly the speed of light- 186,000 miles a second— equivalent to traveling 7.5 times around the earth in a second. Therefore, says the Edison Electric Institute, the association of America’s investor-owned electric util ity companies, electricity is used at almost the same instant it is produced.

Inflation: A Form Of Taxes On Monday of this week, President Carter declared that inflation had “reached a crisis stage.” The annual rate has grown to 18 percent. Is Congress really helpless to do anything about this, as some politicans would have us believe? Surely not. Congressmen know perfectly well they could stop inflation by either reducing spending or raising taxes, but they refuse to do either because they’re afraid that would cost them votes. But more and more Americans Energy Saver Fireplace Cover An attractive fireplace cover made of easy-working alumi num offers several practical advantages for the energy conscious homeowner. It serves as a safety shield for smoldering embers at bedtime, and it prevents a significant amount of heat loss by block ing room air escaping up the chimney. To make the cover, you’ll need a metalworking vise, hacksaw, tin snips, portable drill, file, 1-inch or larger C-clamps, centerpunch, and a “POP” Brand Rivetool with a tapered nose. The plan calls for a fire- place up to 24x34 inches. If larger, a two or three panel cover can be made using vertical bars to conceal the joints. Cut the aluminum bar stock with a hacksaw (coarse metal blade). Tin snips are best for cutting the aluminum sheet. Bending the scrolls can be facilitated by using a slotted piece of 3/4-inch iron water pipe as a bending jig. After bending the scrolls, lock the straight section in the vise and make the right angle bend, hammering the bar as you keep tension on it to get a square bend. Repeat for the second bar. The horizontal bars of the — Project by Curran A. Johnson frame have a 1/4” offset at the ends to make the frame flush on the back for attach ment of the sheet. This is done by making a slight bend 1” in from each end. Then, with the straight section in the vise, a couple of inches away from the first bend, hammer the bent section back so that the offset face of the tab is in line with the opposite face of the straight section. Cut two 7” pieces of bar and make right angle bends 1” from an end to form the back feet. Lay out the frame, square it, C clamp the corners, center punch and drill 3/16” holes at each corner. Mark the four sides into equidistant spaces and drill 1/8” rivet holes and 3/16” bolt holes for attachment of the rear feet. Assemble corners per manently and pop rivet the sheet to the frame. For this project, “Snap Caps” on the front ends of 1/8” diameter x 1/2” grip range rivets were used to gether with large “Snap Cap” washers under the heads of the stove bolts at the corners and back feet. File rough edges smooth and clean with steel wool and mineral spirits. Then spray with a metal primer and finish coat. When completely dry, apply the “Snap Cap” covers and your fireplace cover is ready for use.
