What Needs Doing • How You Can Help
STARTING YOUNG
Americans have a long
tradition of responding to
the needs of our younger
citizens. Even in the midst
of the Great Depression,
when despair hung in the air,
some individuals and corpo
rations made teaching out
to youngsters an Important
item on their agenda.
In Illinois, for Instance,
in 1931, the Paul Revere
League was founded by
Robert Buehler, then Presi
dent of the Victor Adding
Machine Company, which is
now Victor Business Prod
ucts. The playing field was
covered with weeds and rub
bish, a small grandstand and
a baseball diamond and an
old cottage.' But to boys
with an itch to play, it was a
dream come true.

In America, millions of
well-wishers will join the

appropriate mementos to
mark this extraordinary
event and pass on to their

Official souvenirs with
real potential to becorqe val

the special Royal Wedding
postage stamps to be issued

of the British Common
wealth to commemorate
this historic occasion. In
cluded in the omnibus se
ries are such far-flung coun

Worldwide demand for

For America to become
energy independent and a-
void the threat of future
supply interruptions, we
must develop sufficient do
mestic energy resources to
reliably and economically
replace foreign energy im
ports. One of the most
promising alternative sources
is nuclear energy from
breeder reactors, power
plants that create more fuel
than they use.
Development of any com
plex technology involves sev
eral stages of research and
development, culminating in
a demonstration of engineer
ing and economic feasibility
under near-commercial con
ditions. The U.S. Liquid Met
al Fast Breeder Reactor
(LMFBR) program is well ad
vanced and has reached the
demonstration stage.
The Fast Flux Test Facil
ity (FFTF) located near
Richland, Washington, is an
integral part of the multi-
phased LMFBR development
program. The project is on
schedule and achieved full
power operation in Decem
ber, 1980. Work to date has
provided useful breeder
component manufacture
and construction experience.
Future test runs are ex
pected to provide valuable
data to help assure op
timized fuel costs and
breeding characteristics.
As the development of
the LMFBR technology has
paralleled that of today's

before the LMFBR is com
mercially viable if demon
stration proceeds promptly.
An extensive Department
of Energy sponsored study
of advanced reactor con
cepts, the Nonproliferation
Alternative Program, recent
ly concluded that a commer
cial LMFBR should be devel-
pped for commercial use in
the U.S. by the year 2010.
Accordingly, recent studies
by the General Accounting
Office concluded that a vi
able U.S. LMFBR program
requires proceeding with
the demonstration phase.
The Clinch River breeder
pilot plant proposed for
Oak Ridge, Tennessee is
that demonstration phase.
The 66 nations repre
sented on the International
Fuel Cycle Evaluation Com
mittee (INFCE) strongly
supported the rapid develop
ment of breeder reactor
technology, even though the
former Administration es
tablished INFCE to sup
port its stated opposition
to proceeding with LMFBR
demonstration.
The U.S. LMFBR demon
stration program is already
late. The viability of the U.S.
design must be verified by
an operating power demon
stration plant if the LMFBR
is to be available when
needed.

INSIDE CARE OF
RV'S IMPORTANT
Inside maintenance of
an RV after having been
used for a portion of the
season is just as impor
tant as maintaining the
engine.
There is nothing more
annoying or uncomfor
table than having to walk
through the run-off of a
waste tank because it has
leaked or overflowed.
As far as possible all
hose and other fittings in
any trailer or RV should
be checked to insure that
they have not slipped or
corroded. Sometimes the
corrosion works its way
out from the inside and is
not noticed until an actual
leak has begun. But by
keeping a constant eye
out for such a possibility,
it can be stopped about as
soon as it starts.
Holding and water
storage tanks should be
drained and flushed every
so often as a matter of
course. By so doing you
are insuring that there
will be a proper free flow
and any buildup will be
halted before it becomes a
major problem.
The rigid frame of most
RVs also comes in for
quite a beating while on
the road from normal
driving and bumps. It’s
not uncommon for screws
thin. By patching and
mending these areas as
soon as they are found,
damage is contained and
never gets out of hand.

Some news for wives
whose husbands smoke.
In a just-published, 20-
year study of one million
Americans, the American
Cancer Society (ACS) could
not find any significant in
crease in lung cancer death
rates among nonsmoking,
women married to smokers
as compared with nonsmok
ing women married to non-
smokers.
The study, prepared by
ACS’s chief statistician,
Lawrence Garfinkel, and
published in the June issue
of the Journal of the Na
tional Cancer Institute, con
tradicts a Japanese study
published last January that
alarmed wives of smoking
husbands with the sugges
tion that they were being
exposed to significantly
higher risks of lung cancer.
Following its publication,
the Japanese study was crit
icized by other scientists for
inadequacies and inconsis
tencies. And, just recently,
it was reported that the
Japanese study contains a
serious mathematical error
which, according to one ex
pert, invalidates the claim in
the study of a highly statis
tically significant relation
between the mortality of
nonsmoking wives and the
amount of their husband's
smoking. ,
In the new study, the
ACS analyzed mortality in
formation for women whose
husbands smoked fewer
than 20 cigarettes a day and
for those whose husbands
smoke and those who don’t.

Jay Hebert, touring pro

30 years, has been commis

Incorporated to assist senior

tips.
One area in which the
golfer who’s getting along in
years can improve his game
is in putting.
The basic principle of
good putting is to keep the
blade of the putter square

pull the putter off the line
and eventually cut the putt

the left of the hole.
To correct this habit of
breaking your wrists, I sug
gest placing the index finger
of the right hand so that it
extends directly down and
behind the shaft.
You can’t break your
wrists then, and the finger
also serves as a fine guide
in making the stroke. This
is especially helpful in im
proving the putting of senior
golfers. It’s also to be recom
mended to golfers of all
ages who are erratic on the

In an eastern state, home
buyers were startled when a
company claimed in court
that it had acquired a half
interest in their original sub
division tract under two pre
viously undisclosed wills of
former owners dating back
more than a century.
After extensive court pro
ceedings, the complaint was
dismissed and the owners
were relieved of the threat
from this claim. The court
decision was obtained after
incurring a substantial sum
in attorney fees and costs,
and assured the buyers of
keeping their property. Since
the buyers were protected
by owner’s title insurance
issued at the time of their
real estate purchases, the
title company paid for the
defense to avert financial
loss for its insured.
Even the most thorough
title search of public rec
ords will not reveal all
types of land title hazards
that can threaten home
ownership. Owner’s title in
surance protects against
these so-called hidden prob
lems as specified in the title
policy.
