VA FILLER FACTS The Veterans Administration reported recently that California, with 3.2 million veterans, leads the nation in veteran population, followed by New York, Pennsylvania, Dlinois and Texas. The Veterans Administration advises veterans to write, call, or visit their regional VA offices or local veterans service organizations for assistance in applying for veterans benefits. Veterans recently separated from military service should follow a government time-table designed to" Insist their readjustment to civilian life, the Veterans Administration suggests. TP) '.. a nmm o: RECENT EVEtlTSi By GEORGE & RVSS Dear Consumer How & Why of Utility Rates By Virginia Knauer ' Special Assistant to the President and Director Office of Consumer Affairs Department of Health, Education and Welfare Since the energy shortage became a national is sue, I have received letters from many consumers questioning the higher rates that are being charged for electricity and natural gas. I would like to quote from one, which, I think, typifies the consumer's f lustration: "The problem is that utility compa nies, with the approval of government agencies, will raise the cost of their serv ices so that the consumer in the end will pay exactly the same amount of money to them as he did before he started to save electricity. Isn't it discouraging to realize that one has to work within the system, where . . . absolutely nothing can be done to help the consumer." This letter points to a mnjor consumer complaint resulting, from the energy shortage: Although consum ers are trying to cut down on their use of energy, their utility bills continue to climb. Kven more frustrating is the fact that liecttuse energy consumption has dropped, many utility companies are now seeking rate increases. Why is this so, and what can 1)0 dont', about it? According to the Nation al Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, utility companies which supply you with electricity and natural gag are regulated at the state level by the regulatory utility commission. The com mission decides what rate consumers must pay for power. In decidfng this rate, the commission takes into ac count the utility's cost of do ing business and what is a fair profit for the company. This may all sound sim ple, but it gets more compli cated when the energy short age is taken into account. Although some consum ers believe utility companies are part of the oil industry, the fact is that utilities have to buy the oil and natural gas necessary to power homes and office buildings at premi um prices. To offset these In creased costs, some- compa nies have found it necessary to seek what is commonly re ferred to as a "pass-through" rate increase rates paid by consumers are increased to cover the additional costs of the fuel. But this rate in crease does not allow for any increases in profits the profit rate is fixed by the state utility commission and must remain the same. Aside from fuel costs, the energy shortage has af-, fected utility costs in another way. As NARUC explained it, utility companies set rates to cover their costs and to get profits aflowed by their state. However, when consumption drops sharply, as in the case of the energy shortage, sales of electricity or gas could drop below the break -even point. This could result in a rate increase to brinjr suit's up to the former level. If you want information about how utility rate in creases are developed in your state, contact your state's regulatory utility commis sion. You might usk specifi cally about public hearings being held or being planned to adjust utility rates. Kach state's utility commission, must hold public hearings along with an investigation of the utility company be fore granting a rate increase. Consumers are not only entitled but also welcome to attend these hearings. Also, consumers are allowed to see records of hearings. Walter Dellinger Appointed Acting Duke Law School Dean Walter E. Dellinger III has been appointed acting dean of the Duke University Law School for the fall semester, according to Duke Provost Frederic Cleveland. Dellinger also has been named a permanent associate dean of the law school, Cleaveland said, and will be responsible for faculty appointments and curriculum. Dellinger, 33, is serving as acting dean during the absence of Dean Kenneth Pye, who is on a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Snappy remarks are often senseless utterances. i ROGER REDDICK AND MADELINE SAMUEL I Chris Kemp makes last-minute revisions in his arrangement. - ' 5 Kfts Y?'wjf ' ' W -t ''tmmm:' July 28th is the date for Men's Day at Union Baptist Church.
