Emerald Drive, East Layton. Texas-Housto- The past few weeks in this area we have witnessed a tremendous number of lightning storms, some of which have been the most severe in years. per square mile. Countless smaller nuisance losses are caused by lightning, any one of which could by twist could be catastrophic. LIGHTNING bolt contains at least two strokes, and up to 20 or more, all delivered at the target in a fraction of a A LIGHTNING lives for one brief destructive moment. $500,000,000 is reported annual loss in the United States. The statistics are eminently persuasive. Lightning is a major destructive force, natures worst. Lightning savagery leaves hundreds of Americans dead,' thousands injured and tens of thousands of buildings des- troyed or badly damaged every year. It is a bigger loss cause than tornados or floods even in their worst, most heavily publicized years. IN OUTLYING areas, lightning is the largest fire caused, igniting a third of all destructive blazes. Lightning bolts set more than 7,500 forest fires in the U.S. every year, more than any other cause.- Strikes by this volent force destroys more lawn and shade trees than any other factor except tree disease. Of all cattle killed in bams and pastures lightning is responsible for 80 percent. The average American property is a potential target for 52 thunderstorms per year, second. These discharges travel at tremendous speeds, heating and ionizing (exploding) the air. The flash light called lightning is the path of burning air through which the bolts succession of strokes have passed. These electric discharges, equavelent to millions of volts of petential and thousands of amperes of current, always follow the path of least resistance between cloud and ground. What that probing finger of electrons is seeking in its often forked and ragged dart toward ground, is a conducting object, like a building, that will shorten the path the bolt must travel through resistant air. BECAUSE wood, concrete, brick, tile and other building materials are very poor con- ductors of electricity, these substances restrict the electric flow. This resistance may be so great that the current, not to be stopped, creates enough friction heat to ignite the material if inflammable, or to expand and perhaps explode it, if it is combustible. That is why unprotected buildings are frequently damaged or destroyed by lightning. Since protection systems prevent that destruction, the need for such protection is urgent. AS AWESOME as lightning is, any structure can be protected and made safe, even in the event of a direct strike. Modern technology has im- proved on the .protection methods developed by Benjamin Franklin and systems are readily available for any structure regardless of size or shape. Jerry Voight, vice president of locally based ERCO Lightning Protection Systems, Inc., and a lightning protection insti- tute certified master designer and installer suggests the following tips for your personal safety during a thunderstorm: 1. SEEK shelter in a pro- tected building. The safest place to be in a thunderstorm is in a house or other building properly protected against lighting. 2. In an unprotected building, be careful. Avoid the fireplace, stove, sink, other plumbing fixtures, electric appliances and other metal objects. Do not use a telephone, if it can be avoided. 3. A closed car is safe, stay in it. If your car is handy when you are caught unaware, get in it. A closed automobile protects you, avoid touching the metal sides and see that the atenna is down. 4. SHUN THOSE lightning targets. Keep away from trees, metal fences, poles and similar g objects. If in a grove of trees, take shelter under the smaller ones. 5. Its bad time to tee off. If on a golf course, put those irons back into your bag; seek shelter in a protected structure, avoid lone trees, if you 29-Se- must be in the open, choose a low spot and keep low yourself. 6. PLOW tomorrow. Stay off the open conveyances am' steel farm machinery. This especially true of plows, ci or other machinery tagging into the ground. Its true also of lawn and garden equipment. 7. And take a dip another day. Stay away from beaches, swimming pools, lakes, rivers. Lightning has an affinity for water, and it does not have to hit you in the water to kill you.

GARN said each taxpayer pays, oh the average, $127.66 every year to fund the $12 billion food .) stamp program. Senators Gam, Jim McClure and William Armstrong jointly introduced a program in the Senate to deal with waste, fraud and abuse. The bill does the following: 1. Restores the food stamp purchase requirement eliminated in 1977, with an exemption for the elderly and disabled. 2. LIMITS eligibility to those with gross incomes at or below 100 percent of poverty. 3. Permits the states to use the same assets test as 12.

Coimdl Airoroves Street F I Secondary Menus by Marty Ten percent of the money spent annually on food stamps is lost to waste, fraud and abuse. Everybody loses - those recipients who are entitled to the subsidy and the taxpayers who are funding the program. It is an intolerable situation that must be contained if the food stamp program is to meet the need it was designed for. SENATOR Jake Gam made this statement recently at a news conference held in Washington at the' Bureau of Engraving and Printing where $21 million was displayed to show the weekly loss of money in the food stamp program. At that conference legislation was discussed which will attempt to bring the waste down to three percent or less of the total "dollars spent on the program. We face frightening budget deficits, and likely will for some time to come. It is encumbent upon Congress to insist that every precious dollar of this program finds it way into the hands of those who need it. We cannot afford to erroneously issue 10 percent of any programs funds."
