STERLING JONES9 ENERGY MACHINE
Sterling Jones is ?n inventor. If his
latest invention works it will revolutio
nize the world. He calls his latest
invention an Energy Machine.
He has invented en Energy -
Machine, an energy producing machine
which, when perfected, will return
Arabs back to the desert and make CP &
L, Lumbee River Electric Membership
Corporation and similar utilities essen
tially obsolete as we know then now. He
swears that the machine works; a lot of
who have examined the device.
Jones has always liked to tinker. A
few years ago he invented an ingenious
rat trap that culminated in a watery
death for the rodents. He is still
perfecting the merchandizing aspects of
what he calls the Watergate Rat Trap,
fr
named appropriately enough in honor
(tie) of the watergat* political scandal
which was in the newt when the rat trap
was invented. Jones has also worked on
a unique irrigation system, among
other ideas.
Now Jones believes he has
invented the ultimate invention, a
machine which will produce electricity
for use.
The invention entails a weight driven
rotary power generating apparatus that
is designed to efficiently provide energy
that can be harnassed and effectively
a.
Everyone today appreciates the prob
lems of enery faced by America and the
world at large. Jones believes his
invention will make America less
dependent on foreign oil, therby
allowing the many billion dollars spent
yearly forenergyto be used to alleviate
the many social problems
facing the poor people of America,
especially the American Indian. Jones
says, "My invention will help my
people in the long run....l know it will
because it will lower all of our light
bills."
Most of the efforts toward solving the
Energy Crisis have been in the area of
conservation and trade. In the area of
energy conservation and development
one area that has been overlooked is the
invention and production of machinery
designed to deliver energy. Jone's
machine, when fully developed, will

air pmift with gauge* dictating the
usuage of the energy being produced by
the Energy Machine.
Jones believes, indeed, that his
machine will deliver the energy needed
to make America, and, possibly the
world, independent from the Arab and
other oil producting countries.
He leaves soon for a trip to Washing
ton to confer with officials from the
energy department.
' ?
Other companies like General Electric,
Westinghouse are also expected to
examine Jones' machine.
Jones says, "1 know this machine
will work: I can see it working to save us
millions of dollars in lower electric
bills."
The patent for Jones' Energy Device
is pending awaiting the final approval in
Washington.
When perfected Jones' Eiiergy Device
could, most of all, make high electric
bills a thing of the past.
Said an official with one of the local
utilities. "Anything that can lower a
utility bill rather than raise it. has got to
be the greatest invention since Thomas
Edison invented the light bulb."
