THE INVESTING PHASE There will never be another now, make the most of today. There will never be another you; make the most of yourself. / Dr. Robert Schuller [ingenious Ideas Department) New Halogen Bulb Is a Bright Idea Consumers now have easy access to the high quality functional and decorative light that interior design ers have depended on for years. To day, thanks to researchers at Sylvania. stores across America sell halogen light bulbs. This new Sylvania halogen light bulb lor the home lasts three times longer and offers a more natural light that's ten percent brighter than ordi nary incandescent bulbs. This "whiter" light more closely matches the “noonday" sun than ordinary incandesccnts. bringing out the “true” colors in your home. The bulb llts regular residential sockets. The halogen bulbs use the same advanced technology as the popular Sylvania halogen headlamps intro duced by GTE to the automotive mar ketplace in Id79. "Consumers gave us a clear mes sage in our market research. They want and will buy the 'belter' light that halo gen technology provides." says Alan Bonus, the company's director of con sumer. marketing. "They've heard about the many attributes of halogen light—and now they can affordably try it in their own homes.” The primary feature of the new halogen light bulbs is the long life of 3.CMK) hours for the 60-watt unit and 2,250 hours for the 75 and 100-watt bulbs, making them espceially prac tical lor those hard-to-reach locations. Also available are 45- and 90-watt outdoor halogen spot and floodlights, designed with a 40 percent energy savings while maintaining the same amount of light as the non-cnergy saving units they replace. At eight cents per kilowatt hour, each 90-watt Sylvaniu halogen floodlight will save the user $12.00 on his/her electric bill over its 2,500-hour life when substituted for its non-energy-saving equivalent 150-watt floodlight.

Doug Wilder Moderate Style At Question In National Prexy Race WASHINGTON, DC. (AP))—Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder is no Jesse Jackson, and most black voters in his state seem to like him fine. But can his moderate message and measured style inspire national black support for his presidential bid? If Jackson sits out 1992, as expected, most analysts predict Wilder will attract at least some of the voters the fiery preacher won in his 1984 and 1988 races for the Democratic nomination. But not all of them. “He is not going to certainly inherit the Jackson constituency. He’s going to have to fight for it. And he’s going to come under severe scrutiny,” said Ron Walters, chairman of the Howard University political science department and a former Jackson adviser. Wilder, the nation’s first black elected governor, is not the kind of black politician Americans are used to seeing on the national stage. He talks of fiscal austerity and personal responsibility, resists a liberal tag, contends there are no “black” issues and avoids the emotional pulpit style that preacher politicians like Jackson have used so effectively. Jackson is “perhaps the foremost political activist of our time,” Wilder said in a recent Playboy interview. By contrast, he said, “I’ve been an officeholder for 21 years... I am called upon to make compromises—to take the half loaf when I can’t get the whole one. ” The rightward drift of Wilder’s political career—he’s cut education and other services to balance his budget and abandoned his opposition to the death penalty—has alienated some of the Virginia liberals who supported his run for governor in 1989. But not too many of the black ones. “Blacks have stayed with him even though he’s been a ‘fiscal conservative,’” said Brad Coker, president of the Mason-Dixon polling firm. “He still has a 78 percent approval rating among Virginia’s black voters. They’re with him because they think he’s one of them.” In announcing his candidacy last week. Wilder was at his most eloquent when he described the barriers he’d faced and accused President Bush of “leading the retreat” on race relations. He discussed fiscal conservatism but couched it in terms of stopping Washington insiders from wasting the rest of the country’s money. The emphasis, some say, suggests Wilder has realized he must cultivate a base among blacks and white liberals. “He’s hitting some issues that are intended clearly to attract black voters without driving away white voters,” said Michael Preston, a University of Southern California political scientist. “The degree he can sell that to black voters is the degree to which he will be successful.” Both Preston and Walters say it won’t be an easy sell. “There are people who will be persuaded by the symbolic appeal of affirmative action and the Civil Eights Act of 1991,” said Walters, referring to a bill congressional Democrats are trying to pass. But many Jackson supporters, anxious to improve the economic health of cities, are turned off by Wilder’s fiscal policies, Walters said. Balancing the budget without raising taxes "is fine. But when you look at what he’s been able to do for the disadvantaged population in Virginia, you don’t see much,” he said. Wilder is trying for a broader appeal, to the middle class and members of the working class who want to get there. Some analysts say plenty of black voters will respond. “The black electorate is in a lot of .vays very conservative. It’s lots of women and churchgoers,” said one pollster who has done work for several black candidates and who spoke on condition of anonymity. “To go out there and say these are liberal voters, they want taxes to go up, they want government to spend more, is a real oversimplification." Wilder’s ability to capture black votes outside Virginia may depend on his performance in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary early next year. The two tests are followed by a Super Tuesday of primaries throughout the South. “If he does well, there will be a very strong instinctive pride that will encourage black voters to vote for him even if they may disagree with his more conservative budget positions,” said a Democratic media consultant who refused to be identified. Coker, who polls for the Virginia news media and in other Southern states, predicted Wilder would get 65 percent to 70 percent of the black vote in Southern contests—not quite Jackson’s 90 percent, but not bad, either. And who will those voters be? Walters described them this way: “The ones who believe that Wilder is the only hope, that he will have a conversion of some sort along the way, and that he has a better shot of winning than Jackson because he has stronger credentials.” Medicare Covers Medical Services for Feet (NU) - Congress recognized the important relationship between foot health and general health when it included the services of podiatrists in Medicare legislation for senior citizens. Doctors of podiatric medicine are of particular importance to older people by helping them to remain active. Regular foot care keeps their feet healthy with advancing years when the skin and nails of the feet become dry and brittle. The Ameri can Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) says that numbness and discoloration may be signs of seri ous conditions such as diabetes and circulatory disease. APMA says that medical insur ance under Medicare Part B covers most services for foot care of podia trists and other doctors. This covers medical and surgical services in the hospital, at a skilled nursing facility, and in an office or at home. Podia trists certify medical necessity for hospitalization, skilled nursing care and home health care. So-called "routine foot care” pay ments come under Medicare insur ance when it would be hazardous to the patient's health if self-treatment were performed. Prescribed health services, including diagnostic x-rays, laboratory tests, surgical treatments and fracture care, are also covered. Certain routine foot care services are not covered.

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT Junior Achievement Teaches Free Enterprise in Grades K-6 (NU) - Of those bright, eager first graders who begin school each fall, 25 to 50 percent of them will drop out before they graduate. In a time of increasing technology it) the workplace and demanding competi tion in the marketplace, reverting the dropout rate represents a critical key to America’s future. Junior Achievement, the world’s largest business and economic not for-profit education organization, is conducting a 27-city pilot program in second grades across the country as it develops a national curriculum for grades kindergarten through sixth. Junior Achievement, which is supported by' more than 100.000 businesses, believes the progratft is an important first step in its effort to positively affect at-risk students (possible dropouts) through early intervention. “Junior Achievement recognizes that children must be reached at an early age if we are to keep them interested in school,” says Karl Flemke, president and chief execu tive officer of the organization, which annually reaches 1.2 million U.S. students and 200,000 students ip 25 foreign countries. “We want to show K-6 students the relevance of edqca tion to the workplace through busi ness and economic education. This sequential, systems approach that we are developing will prepare students for a work experience where chang ing job requirements are more the norm than the exception." Junior Achievement entered in school economic education in 1975, while retaining the traditional after school JA Company program, in which about 8 percent of its students are currently involved. WHY U THE «.*. GOVERNMENT ATTACKING YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH7 Water Softeners Serve Many Valuable Functions (NU) - Water softeners serve a valuable function in American homes. In fact, 85 percent of all U.S. homes are located in hard water ar eas. and water softeners can easily prevent the problems and damage typically associated with this waigr problem. Hard water is water that contains dissolved minerals, mainly calchun and magnesium. These minerals can interfere with the sudsing action of soaps and detergents. Mineral-laden water can eventually clog hot/Water pipes and decrease the life of water using appliances. These same minerals often rinake housework more difficult and clean ing agents less productive. Fabrics laundered in hard water can deterio rate faster, look less clean, and wear out quicker. Soaps and shampoos often do not lather as well in hard water, and more of each product must be used to work efficiently. >.
