NOAH’S ARK OUTREACH Each fourth Saturday at 9 a.m. including January Economic Recovery Lagging ~’ _■ v - *- «• . - tary of the Treasury, re cently spoke on many issues which effect the eco nomic recovery of the United States. The primary concern of most people who attended Regan’s address at the White House was based on the actual timing of Presi dent Reagan’s economic recovery plan. In response Regan explained, “The full economic recovery we had hoped for is lagging. It has taken longer than antici pated to bring down in terest rates, adjust to lower inflation and resume production. According to the U.S. treasurer, businesses and industries are in an invest ment holding pattern and will not expand until they are assured the rtfller coaster financial condi tions of the past-ten- years have been settled. To as sure that time is approach ing, Regan cited that since January, 1981, the prime interest rate has been re duced from 21.5 percent to 12 percent. Inflation has been cut from 12.5 percent to five percent, according to Regan. He believes the primary objective over the next two years must be to continue decreasing inflation and in terest rates. This will spur industrial expansion and create long-term Jobs for the unemployed. One of the main areas expected to create 330,000 Jobs is the Interstate High way System. This major development will focus on improving roads, bridges and the mass transit sys tem. The Interstate High way System authorizes 12.3 billion dollars for the re pair and maintenance. Many people at Regan’s conference could not un derstand why the U.S. is wonting to Dan ouier coun tries out of an economic hardship when our country is suffering from its own serious setbacks. Regan remarked, “The United States must lead efforts to resolve the in ternational financial crisis in order to protect the American worker and our businesses and industries. If our economy is to re cover and maintain long term growth it is essential that our large and growing customers overseas remain healthy and when in economic difficulty be helped to adjust and re cover.” Regan’s opinion suggests a collapse in the international financial structure inevitably means job losses and financial suffering for the United States.

Protect Eyes When Jump - —.>j *. f ■ *A. , • # 4; , ’ » >» „ Starting Dead Car Battery Special To The Post “When I jumped a dead battery in another car from the other in my vehicle, thn dead battery exploded wi ti a tremendous roar. Luckily, I was standing off to one side and wasn’t hurt...” Each year, the National Society to Prevent Blind ness - North Carolina Af filiate hears numerous stories of similar narrow escapes. “Not all of those people who write us are this fortunate,” lays Marion L. Johnson, Execu tive Director of the North Carolina Affiliate. According to the Society, more than 12,500 people suffered a battery-related eye injury in 1961 that re quired treatment in a hos pital emergency room. Ninety percent of those injuries were preventable with the use of protective eyewear. "This winter has been predicted by many to be the coldest in years,” comments Miss Johnson. "As icy temperatures grip North Carolina, it is im portant that motorists carry protective eyewear in their cars, and know the correct way to jump-start a dead car battery.” The Society suggests that safety goggles be stored in the autemobitayear-round, and worn when jump-start inga battery or doing other eye-hazardous activities, such as changing a flat tire. “An exploding car battery can discharge casing, tool bits and chemicals into the eyes," Miss Johnson ex plains, "and safety goggles can prevent this material from ever reaching the eyes.” When jump-starting a dead car battery, the Society suggests the follow^ ing procedures: Before attaching cables: Put out all cigarettes and flames! Make sure cars don’t touch. Set both cars’ park ing brakes and automatic shifts to PARK (manual transmission to NEU TRAL). Turn ignition OFF. Add battery water, if needed. REPLACE CAPS, cover with damp cloth. Don’t jump-start if fluid is frozen! Do not jump-start unless both batteries are nega tively grounded and the same voltage. American cars are either 12-volt or six-volt. Check owner’s manual. 1 ■* Review the ads in Hie Charlotte Post each week for the best bargains in town. ******************** N«id New CH< R ROBES FOR 5ASTER? vrucr line is 25th.
