Nader is a man who never minces a word or pares an exaggeration Yet a recent item in the news makes one wonder The city of El Cajon Calif is going to build a Solid Waste Resources Recovery Demonstration Center to convert garbage and trash into fuel The center to be completed by 1975 will cost $32 million which is peanuts compared to what it will do Initially it will convert 200 tons of trash daily into burnable fuel including oil Eventually it will process 1000 tons of trash a day into enough fuel to meet the needs of 30000 people If $32 million can do this for 30000 people by 1975 what could a few billion do for 200 million people even sooner? Or would we suddenly hear certain segments of the economy howling: “Hold low-sulf- ur o people of our state Authorities admit they are surprised that 85 per cent of the Utah enlistments are of men and women who have had prior military service including serving “hitches” during the Vietnam era And about three quarters of those who sign when their orup for the Guard re-enli- st iginal commitment is over This leads Maj Gen Maurice Watts Utah adjutant general and his staff to conclude: — The Guard can maintain strength in a no draft environment — Young people do feel a need to belong and a desire to serve their nation state and community —The majority of our young people are motivated by a need to feel that they are contributing to the security and stability of America Utah and their community —The Guard’s retention rates are in direct proportion to its ability to provide opportunity for valid contributions and challenging situations for individual performance The Ogden area has three National Guard units — the headquarters battery of the 1st Battalion and “B” battery and the service battery of the 145th Field Artil- lery This is the week to pay those guardsmen the they have earned their continuing service through tribute on now Let’s not rush into anything The energy crisis not as bad as all that” Wrenching Career Amid all the talk about “blue-colla- r blues” and “white-colla- r woes” and the revolt against the “work ethic” the example of one Albert M Diederich of Elyria Ohio may be worth a mention if not a listing in the Guiness Book of World Records In 45 y ears with the Ridge Tool Company in Elyria which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year Diederich has assembled more than 25 million wrenches or nearly a third of the company’s total output of some 70 million wrenches He was an Ohio farm youth of 13 when he started with the company has worked longest of all its employes and still finds the job “stimulating” If that doesn’t make you feel ashamed of yourself when he isn’t putting wrenches together Diederich runs a small farm where he raised six children and each year finds time to grow and sell 32 tons of pumpkins STANDARD'S EXAMINER By - This was those of another “you gotta see it to believe it” situations Four to six maybe seven inches of snow And our nation’s capital city ‘was tied in knots!
