Preparation aids chances of fire survival Your chances of surviving a fire are greater if you are prepared. A fire escape plan is essential to that preparation. Before developing one, be certain you have done everything to prevent a fire. detectors should be installed near every bedroom or sleeping area, normally in the hallway leading to the bedrooms, and on every level of the home. Smoke detectors save lives by providing early warning of fire. create a fire escape plan, the following: Include the entire famiy in To do your preparations. Map out two escape routes from every room. Install and maintain smoke detectors. Smoke Purchase chain ladders the first for exiting from above floor. Make sure that windows can be quickly opened in the event you must exit a fire. Discuss and agree on what to do with a pet if fire breaks out. You may not have time to save your pet. Designate a place outside the home where family mem- bers can meet after escaping from a fire. In a fire, crawl low on the floor with your mouth and nose covered with a cloth or towel until you can exit. Go to your designated meeting place and stay put. Do not go back inside. Hold family fire drills and practice how to exit in case of a . fire. Liquefaction Universities join to coal study The U.S. Department of energy and a consortium that includes the University of Utah signed an agreement Friday to put more than $19 million into new research to convert coal into liquid transportation fuels and held rid the nations landfills of waste plastic and old tires. five-universi- ty 'fi t A k!

DOE will provide $9,730,000 and consortium members $9,300,000 over the period of the agreement. Some of the schools funding requirements will be met through services. The five schools represent major coal producing states. We consider the consortium a model program for cooperative research," says Chun in prepared remarks. The consortium has made significant advances in coal liquefaction research and we are looking forward to exciting developments over the next five years. About 40 percent of future research will target technology to simultaneously liquefy coal and waste materials such as waste polymers, discarded rubber tires, paper and yard in-ki- inter-universi- ty LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): Disruptions on the home front are to be expected.

An additional 40 percent will go toward developing cheap but effective catalysts to produce liquid fuels and 20 percent toward basic studies of the structure and composition of coal. If all of the waste hydrocarbon materials produced in the United States were coliquefied with coal, the yield would be approximately four billion barrels of oil, an amount equal to Americas approximate annual imports of crude oil, according to a CFFLS announcement. The Us other principal figures in the consortiums coal science research are Larry L. Anderson, Joseph S. Shabtai and Henk Meuzelaar of chemical and fuels engineering and Edward M. Eyring of chemi- stry. Similar research is underway in Germany, where strict environmental laws prohibit the dumping of waste plastics in landfills. About 100 persons at the five schools are doing CFFLS-relate- d research. The U is one of the nations leading schools in coal studies, a position it has held since its pioneering program was launched and developed beginning in the 1950s by such internationally known fuels scientists as George R. Hill and Wendell H. Wiser. The schools coal research leadership is also buoyed by pioneering work among its faculty in nuclear magnetic resonance spectrospcopy. CFFLS principal focus has been direct coal liquefaction, a process of mixing coal with a solvent and heating it under hydrogen pressure, usually in the presence of a catalyst. During this process, the coal structure is broken into smaller molecular units containing more hydrogen, producing oil that can be refined into gaso line, jet fuel and diesel fuel. The liquefaction process is carried out by placing the coal and the waste material in a reaction vessel, normally with one or more catalysts, and heating to temperatures of approximately 750F under high pressure hydrogen. Initial experiments by consortium scientists on the conversion of waste plastics and rubber into oil, both alone and in combination with coal, have produced promising results. With appropriate catalysts, high yields of excellent oil products have been obtained. In addition to research on the coliquefaction of waste plastics and rubber with coal, the CFFLS program will also investigate the coliquefaction of coal with other w&ste materials such as paper, agricultural wastes, yard wastes, waste oils and sewer sludge. Pugmire says the U of U will be the repository for suptires and plies of ground-u- p plastics consortium scientists will use in their experiments. The American Plastics Council has provided funding support and donated the plastic materials for the landfill studies. Over the years, the economics of coal liquefaction have markedly improved According to the director fo the consortium, Dr. Gerald Huffman of the University of Kentucky, research has decreased the price of producing oil from coal from $80 per barrel to approximately $35 per barrel over the last 15 years. If we can develop the technology to coliquefy coal and waste hydrocarbon materials, it should produce a further dramatic improvement in the economics, since coliquefaction would not only by a source of transportation fuels, but also an important waste disposal process, says Huffman. cleanup-relate- d This past week Charlie Felice was told that he had been relieved of his coaching duties at Helper Fr, High. Charlie has coached the girls basketball team for several years Lack of certification was the reason used for dumping Charlie from the program. During the years that Charlie coached the girlshe chose to put all the money he was paid for coaching back into the program. ' Charlie isn't certified as a counselor either but Charlie s the person that the students go to with their problems. Why? Charlie loves the kids and the kids love Charlie,- - A , If this decision to dismiss Charlie as the girls basketball coach is final, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly state that I am opposed to the decision.
