Gochnour steps to his contiol panel as often for his fellow adult enthusiasts as for curious chitdicn. lie often goes out as a 'troubleshooter" to help other area model railroaders with problems and he and a partner, Don reiniaun, market intricate miniature parts nationally, with Hcimatm doing the pattern-makin- and Gochnour the casting from brass.

So careful is Gochnour of detail that he never builds an engine without seeing either photographs or plans of both sides. The applilike tubing and air comances usually arent the same pressors on both sides, he said.

Q: What is the difference between a batch feed food disposer and a "continuous feed model? A: We went to researchers at KitchenAid-o- ne of the country's leading disposer manufacturers for the answer. Say the experts: in a "batch feed" disposer, the cover of the unit is the offon switch control. Because the cover must always be in place for the unit to operate, this type is often consider the safest. Continuous feed" disposers are activated by a wall switch. An antisplash guard is designed to prevent waste from coming back out of the opening. A cover is provided, however, and its use is recommended whenever hard objects tire being ground.

The survey was published just a few days after President Ford, in his State of the Union message, called for a slowdown on enforcement of environmental measures that increase the cost of energy. In a special section headed The Truth About Clean-uCosts, the sruvey finds that clean up environmental spending is not a significant factor in inflation. on the other hand, the magazine savs, cleaner air and water could produce some $260 billion in medical savings and economic benefits over the next decade. e In an exclusive survey of air and water clean-uexpenditures, the magazine reports that spending has increased steadily each y ear since 1971 and that a majority of the 43 states responding to the survey plan to increase clean-uexpenditures in 1975.
