Show Industrial Nations Plan Joint Energy Conservation Month Tba United States if participating with 19 other major industrial nations, all members of the International Energy Agency (IEA), in observing October 1979 as International Energy Conservation Month. Each country is sponsoring and sharing in special events, programs, discussions, technological demonstrations, and reports on progress toward energy conservation. THE ACTIVITIES planned are designed to reinforce and give new impetus to energy conservation programs, to stimulate greater public awareness of the urgent need for conservation and longterm fuel efficiency, and to give energy consumers practical information on ways to save energy. Energy problems facing us in the United State are similar to those facing other Indus' si. .d nations, as well as many of the woilu s less developed countries," said Omi Walden, Assistant Secretary of Conservation and Solar Applications at the U.S. Department of Energy. "The fundamental problem domestically and internationally is that demand for petroleum b Increasing faster than the world's capacity to produce it." TIIE OCTOBER activities will stress how major industrial nations are cooperating in conservation measures and will give IEA members an opportunity to share workable programs, ideas, technologies, and information. The IEA, formed in 1974 and headquartered in Paris, emphasizes conservation as a major means of reducing dependence on imported oil. Officials of the IEA state that unless conservation is practiced widely, a serious energy crisis b prultable in the 1980's, resulting in severe economic, social, and political repercussions throughout the world. The IEA recommends that its members foster the increased use of waste heat from electrical generation and industrial processing; set thermal efficiency standards for new buildings; offer loans, grants, and tax credits to reduce energy use in existing residential and commercial buildings; reduce speed limits on highways; and offer priority government funding to energy-efficiepublic transportation such as railroads and buses. INTERNATIONAL Energy Conservation Month provides a major opportunity for IEA member nations to demonstrate in a coordinated way what each b doing to reduce petroleum imports through conservation. International Energy Conservation Month activities in the United Stales include promotional campaigns to increase consumer awareness of and participation in household and automobile energy conservation practices; energy audits by business firms; and exchanges of information on automobile fuel economy, energy efficiency in houses and buildings, industrial and agricultural energy management, and solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources. Although the potential energy savings vary from country to country and from sector to sector, the saving kant with IEA members working as a group. Voles To Eliminate Congressional Pay Raise Citing the need for Congress to "match rhetoric with action," U.S. tor Jake Carn Cara asserted that the nation's inflation ills stem largely from huge federal deficits, and "it is not right for the Big Spenders along the Potomac to get relief from a problem they caused. I am pleased that my membership on the Appropriations Committee allowed me to cast the kind of vote that the majority of Utahns and Americas would demand, he added. Sena- Wendesday joined with other members of the Senate d Appropriations Committee to lull a pro-pore- pay raise for Congress. The Committee voted unanimously in favor of an amendment by Sen. Ted Stevens deleting the 5.5 percent Congressional pay hike from the appropriations continuing resolution passed by the House Tuesday. THE MOVE dealt a severe blow to the pay raise proposal and virtually assures that salaries for members of the Senate and House of Representatives will be frozen. Congress should not even be thinking about voting itself a pay raise at a time when double digit inflation is eating the country alive, the Utahn said. Congress talks a lot about the need for fiscal res- traint, and it needs to match rhetoric with action." . NOTINC that the projected federal deficit for 1980 will approach 130 billion, Cara said "the message from the people still isnt being heard by enough leaders on Capitol Hill. That message is simple: cut federal spending, balance the budget, reduce taxes, and bring inflation under control, he said. Until that message becomes a dominant theme in; everything we- do, and the idea of a pay raise is ludricrous. Congress hasnt done anyting to deserve it, he added. Toorle Transcript, Thursday, October al - Theres a vast array of sophisticated high fidelity equipment in the stores today and it h a good idea to set some guidelines as to the kind of sound system you need and the amount you want to spend for it, says the Electronic Industries Association.

Manufacturer product specifications on this type of product have lieen steadily upgraded. Consoles offer the look of fine furniture and often include an automatic turntable, AMFM stereo receiver and matched speaker systems. Some include a tape deck. SEPARATE AUDIO components are ideal for those who prefer to match up their own system. You may want to purchase a turntable andor one of the three basic type formats open reel, cassette or eight track. In order to enjoy AM or FM stereo radio, you'll need a tuner, which pulls the broadcast signals out of furniture systems and components. COMPACTS consist of a control center including at least one program source, such as a turntable, possibly also an AMFM tuner and sometimes an eight track or cassette tape deck, plus two bookshelf type speakers. These systems are easy to operate and require a minimum amount of space Placement Center Expands Services For U Students tf 9, mail. THE PROMOTIONAL material of most mail-ordcompanies is above board, Weight said. But we want to know about those who, intentionally or unintentionally, make less than accurate claims that confuse and falsely raise the hopes of many people. One of the most vicious home-cur- e schemes this year involved the Midwest Health Research Clinic at Kansas City, Mo., which peddled by mail all over the nation a Health Bible Handbook and colonic treatment kit. Postal inspectors found Midwest did not really operate a clinic, nor did it do ' any health research. WHAT IT DID was make some health handwild claims for its book. In this book you will find a cure through scientific preventive solutions for the forty diseases a.id illnesses listed on the next page. . . The handbook sold by mail for $9.95. The investigation by Postal Inspectors traced Midwest to a rundown office across from a massage parlor where the book -- - actually a pamphlet --- was readied for mailing.

Postal Inspectors and Postal Service attorneys obtained a Federal Court order under their civil jurisdiction stopping the delivery of mail containing thousands of dollars in orders addressed to Midwest until it could be determined if the products were misrepresented. AT THE SAME time, the results of their investigation were turned over to a U.S. Attorney, who decided that the operator of Midwest had criminal intent in defrauding consumers and businesses taken in by the scheme. The company was the brainchild of Robert B. Goode, 30, whose admitted desire to become somebody caused him to legally change his name to Shane G.

INDICTED BY a federal Grand Jury in August of last year, Brannson pleaded guilty to mail fraud on October 13, 1978, two days before his trial was to begin. He was sentenced to three years in Federal prison in November. Since Brannson pleaded guilty to the mail fraud charges against him, is it possible he was contrite about his escapades as a swindler? Apparently not. Brannson wrote in April of this year: Unless this sentence is amended and vacated, then what is considered now to be the greatest country in the world on human rights, freedom, and democracy, will again the air.
