Full-Size Car Sales Rebound Predicted DETROIT, Mi. — top auto industry executive today predicted a sales rebound for full-sized cars in coming months as buyers became more aware of their fuel efficiency ‘People already know that our Caprice and Impala models are great buys.’ said Robert D. Lund Chevrolet's general manager and a General Motors vice president “And many are finding out for themselves during Chevy's National Fuel Economy Drive what great mileage these cars also deliver.” Lund said with gasolineat $1.00 a gallon, a standard 1980 Chevrolet Caprice Six-passenger sedan equipped with V6 engine and automatic transmission would consumeonly about $15 more in fuel on a 2,800-mile coast-to-coast highwaytrip than a subcompact fourpa jer Chevette equipped with a four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. The Caprice, with an EPA highway mileage estimate of 26 mpg, we con- sume approximately 108 gallonsof fuel, while the chevette. with an EPA highway estimate of 30 mpg, would consume about 93 gallons of gasoline. “The question this hypothetical comparison poses.’’ said Lund, ‘‘is whether the six-passenger Caprice, with all its extra roominess, comfort and luggage Space, is worth an extra $15 in fuel Costs over that distance. We're convinced the answeris ‘yes’.’” The fuel efficiency of the family- sized Chevroletin city driving is as surprisingasits efficiency on the highway A standard-equipped Caprice delivers an estimated 18 mpg on the EPA's city schedule. A special Impala SE coupe, now available delivers an estimated 20 mpg ‘on the city schedule. “The SE is a milestone car,” said Lund. “It's thefirst full-size gasolinepowered car to break the 20-mile-pergallon barrier.’ The Impala SE gets an estimated 29 mpg on the highway. The EPA composite estimate is 23 mpg. The vehicle is not equipped with air conditioning and is not available for California nurchase New Water Heaters. Save Fuel, Money By very conservative estimates, over 60 percent of the water used in the average household is tempered, meaning it involves the use of both hot and cold water. This makes the water heater one of the busiest appliances in the home, and @ major user of fuel. Today, everyone wants to save fuel notonly to conserve energy but to save money too. The new water heatersfill the bill on both counts, according to the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Information jureau. Insulation is a big factor in conserv- ing heatloss. Formerly you could touch the water tank or the floor beneath it and feel heat. This heat was wasted. In newer models, this is not the case. Major improvements in insulation also help heated water retain its heat longer, thus reducing ‘‘standby loss.”’ In other words,the heated waterin the tank doesn't cooloff as fast while not being used becauseof the better insulation. - Components that are involved in heating the water also have been redesigned to make them more efficient. the Bureau noted. VISA AND:MASTERCH JARGE WELCOME — bien STORE JANUARY CLEARANCE EVERY WINTER HOUSTON: Cheri Goldhagen, a 5-4, 94-pound former8th grade music teacher, has found a new career as a construction superintendent and says her men —wary at first “are proud of me.” - Former Music Teacher Bosses Crew HOUSTON (UPI) — Cheri Goldhagen, a 5-4, 94-pound former eighth grade music teacher, has found a new career as superintendent for a construction firm and says the members ofherall-male the job done, She tries to ‘look as bad as possible’’ on the job to avoid catcalls. “It’s a real challenge,” she said, pointing across a newly cleared area. ‘WhenI first camehere,all crew — wary atfirst — “are proud this was woods. I’m really ac- of me.” “They know I’m not a women’s libber,”shesaid. ‘‘I still enjoy having doors opened for meandthe first thing I do when I go homeis put on makeup and a dress, “And I don’t feel that just because I'm female I deserve to make the same amount of money a man does.” But Miss Goldhagen,31, also likes being boss and building things. She’s been known to speak bluntly, even sweara little bit if necessary to get complishing something.” She makes less than $20,000 a year now working for Barnett Building Co. — low for a general superintendent — but she expects more pay as her experience and effectiveness grow. “Most of these guys have years more experience than I do,” she said. “‘I try to incorporate their experience with some of my knowledge.”’ Her education, financed by an upper middleclass, white collar father in Corpus Christi, Texas. was a music degree from Indiana University. But she found teaching music unsatisfying. “They just didn’t want to learn,” she said. ‘‘Maybe I was too anxious to force my new knowledge on them. They didn’t understand what music can do for your life.” So, she considered her’ alternatives and remembered her unusual high school experience work- ing in construction with her boyfriend to earn money for their dates. “T thought it was fun. J'd always loved to be outside and I was a torn-' boy," she said. Butbuilders had few jobsforlittle women with music degrees. She started out as clerk for a construc- tion company. About 3% years ago, a friend called and said he wanted her to be his general superintenlent. “I said, ‘Women don’t do that.’ He said his male supervisors never stayed on the job long andthat I had the knowledgeto do the work."’ Miss Goldhagen recalled. That job led to her current position with Barnett. “T don’t mind getting out and working with them becauseit shows I understand what they're doing,” she said of her men. ‘You don’t see too many men supervisors do that. They've already done their years of physical work. “I'm still learning and the only way to do it is by firsthand ex- perience.” Utah Bar Association Convention Scheduled The Utah State Bar Association wiil be havingits annual Mid-Year meetin, January 10-11, 1980 at the Little America Hotel. .
