WARNING
The U.S. Department of Con
sumer Affairs has warned the
public to beware of crooked
promoters in the budding solar
home heating industry. It said both
the press and consumers should
check out claims with a reliable
engineer before writing about or
investing in energy systems which
use sunlight to heat houses.
Since the advent of the energy
crisis and shortages of fillil fuels,
the interests of homeowners and
manufacturers had been drawn to
systems - usually involving panels
placed on roofs - which use the
sun's energy to heat both the house
and the water used in it.
Experts say that while various
companies are producing parts for
solar heating systems, there are few
firms which are able to provide a
complete system for the average
house.
Solar power has a great potential
to help solve individual and
national energy problems, but this
potential could be seriously hurt if
a few disreputable merchants give
solar a bad name.
TO SAVE OR NOT TO SAVE?
The question may not be whether
vou will save, but how vou can do
it. The question may be how to set
up a plan for saving that you can
stick to without succumbing to the
temptation to spend every cent you
make. Saving money seems to come
easy for some people; for many
others it is almost an impossibility.
Are you one of those people who
"can t save a dime?"
A 1974 study of family money
practices revealed that 71% of the
families saved some money during
the previous year. Of those savers,
33% saved regularly, 31% saved
when they had extra money," and
7% saved both ways. However,
about '/? of the families had to dig
into savings to help pay bills during
recent periods of economic stress
and 29% had not saved at all.
Why should you save money?
Most people can anticipate a time
in the future when they will need
more money than they have in
current income. Often the need is
unexpected; at other times one may
need extra money for a goal such as
a vacation, a new car or education
of the children. Most people save:
?To meet emergency expenses,
or those once a year items such as
insurance or property taxes.
?To purchase large items for the
home, an automobile, or for college
expenses -- your short or long-range
goals.
?To create a fund for investment
that will produce more income; you
do this when you let savings grow to
produce income for your retirement
years.
If we were all perfectly logical,
rational and self-disciplined, we
could live on less than we make and
save the balance of the money.
Since we aren't that sort of people
all of the time, some of us find that
automatic savings plans force us to
live on less. We try to fool ourselves
into thinking that we have less
income than we really have. With
automatic savings plans we make
one decision that sets the plan in
action. Then we aren't faced each
pay period with a savings decision
or find we have no savings after
spending. Some good automatic
savings plans are these:
?Payroll deductions for the pur
chase or U.S. Savings Bonds or for
deposit in the employees' credit
union. Sign forms with your
employer for either plan.
?Deductions by your bank from
your checking account into your
savings account. Sign up at the
bank.
?Extra income tax deductions
above what would be normal for
your family exemptions. This
would increase the likelihood of
your receiving an income tax
refund that you could use for some
special purpose, depending upon
the size of the refund. File a new
withholding tax form with your
employer taking fewer exemptions
if you want to put this plan in
action.

noise, sometimes swirling around
my feet, sometimes revealing small
fish and bits of broken shells.
I felt insignificant-like one of
the grains of sand-but linked
somehow with everything in cre

my mind could not be put into

basic to the relationship between
myself and things eternal.
