Not only will you save money on your groceries, but you won't heat up your kitchen with cooking and canning. Drying food is a perfect fit with solar and it is the most natural and nutritious method to preserve foods. Dried food takes up little space and lasts a very long time. Using heat from the sun is free and it does not create pollution or contamination of the environment or your food. The savings from buying larger quantities of fruits and vegetables on sale should easily pay back the material costs in one summer alone.

Attach shelf supports on the interior sides so they are level when the box is tilted up. Make screen covered drying shelves slightly shorter than the, depth of the box. Stagger every other shelf flush against the back. This makes the warm air wind back and forth across all the shelves to get to the top outlet. Once you become familiar with your solar food dryer, you will learn to adjust the interior temperature by tilting it slightly higher or lower and adjusting optional small movable side vent covers.

The key to an effective solar food dryer is maintaining a temperature of about 220 degrees in the dryer.

Build the plywood box with d vent openings in the top and the bottom ends. The hot moist air naturally exhausts out the top vent, thus drawing cool dry air in the bottom vent. It is important to properly size the vent holes, or there may be too much or too little air flow to keep the dryer at the proper drying temperature.

G . A This depends on the weather conditions on a given night. On a clear night, leave your window shades open. Heat can then radiate outdoors through your windows to the cold upper atmosphere. This is most effective if you have double pane thermal windows. On hot cloudy nights, close the shades to increase the insulation value of the window. The clouds block the cooling effect of heat radiation to the cold upper atmosphere. With the shades open, more heat transfers in through the glass than the cooling effect of the radiant heat loss.

In his weekly radio address, Clinton plans to declare that the United States will not test its weapons until at least Oct. 1, 1994 unless another country tests during that time, according to the document obtained Friday. SHEIK: The president will decide next year whether to extend the moratorium further, depending on the status of the Comprehensive Test Ban negotiations and on the willingness of the other nuclear powers to forgo testing, the document said. Clinton also will announce he is prepared to send emissaries to London, Paris, Moscow and Beijing to start negotiating a permanent ban on nuclear testing by the world's five major nuclear powers, to go into effect by Oct. I, 1996, the memo said. Clinton's decision comes after months of fiery debates within the administration among advocates and opponents of testing. Growing opposition to testing from Congress, w hich last fall passed a moratorium that expired Thursday, finally tipped the balance. Russian President Boris Yeltsin said Thursday he had spoken this week by phone with Clinton and the two agreed to work for a Comprehensive Test Ban treaty. Yeltsin said he and Clinton plan to discuss the subject when they meet in Tokyo next week at the annual economic summit. Yeltsin also pledged that Russia, tian national entered the United States on a tourist visa July 18, him from officials such as Sen. reAlfonse D'Amato, for assassination a portedly target in the foiled terror plot.

The Michigan Court of Appeals in March overturned that decision and awarded custody to Schmidt. "While cognizant of the heartache which this decision will ultimately cause, this court is presented with no other option than that dictated by the law in this state," the court said. The court also dismissed as groundless a case filed in Jessica's name. It had claimed she had a right to a hearing on her own best interests. The DeBoers, who had tried to adopt the child, argued that it was in Jessica's best interests to stay with them, because they had raised her since she was a few days old. They brought the case to Michigan arguing that the Iowa courts had not considered her best interests. But the court said the child's interests were considered in Iowa and that a attorney efin Iowa made a "good-faitfort" regarding her interests. Noting the fierce emotion of the case, the court ruled that "clearly applicable legal principles" required the child returned to her natural parents.

"'It is now time for the adults to move beyond saying that their only concern is the welfare of the child and put those words into action by assuring that the transfer of custody is accomplished promptly with minimum disruption of the life of the child, ' ' the court said. The Schmidts' attorney, Marian Faupel, was jubilant, saying the decision affirmed most of the arguments she made about natural parents' constitutional rights to their children and the requirement that one state enforce another's court rulings. "I have sympathy for the De- Boers," she said! "It's unfortun- ate that they were represented by so many attorneys that encouraged them to gq down a road that was a legal dead end.

Faupel said both couples had been talking to an Ann Arbor therapist, who specializes in grief counseling, about the transfer. Supporters of the DeBoers were upset at Friday's ruling. Peter Darrow, who was appointed by the court to act in Jessica's behalf, said Friday he was the bureau of economic and business research at the University of Utah.

But Orton said the President doesn't believe it can be done without some tax increase. And he said Americans don't trust that a tax increase would be used five-ye- ar nt "stunned" at the court's ruling, particularly because many professionals have said Jessica's best interests lie with the DeBoers. Darrow said he was inclined to appeal the ruling on the case in Jessica's name to the U.S. Su' preme Court. Richard Victor, a Birmingham, Mich, attorney who represented Jessica and had requested a hearing in Jessica's best interest, said he was "deeply saddened that the court didn't protect this child." The technicalities on which the court based its decision are not what matter to the child, he said. The DeBoers had argued that their bonding with the child as her "psychological parents" should take precedence over her biological links to her birth parents. But the Schmidts stressed they had a constitutional right to raise their own child. Constitutional Law Professor Robert Sedler said Friday the decision is exactly what he expected. "Nearly a century of legal decisions support the idea that states must respect each other's court rulings. Since the Iowa courts had already ruled on the case; Michigan courts lacked jurisdiction to step in. "What the judge in Ann Arbor did was lawless," he said, referring to Circuit Judge Ager's decision in favor of the DeBoers.

In his radio address, Clinton plans to warn that "if between now and September 1994 another state breaks the moratorium, the president would ask Congress for the authority to test," according to the memo.
