Solar heating expensive, but pays for self by Lillian Leavy Reaching for the Sun series on collecting energy from (The second of a two-pathe Sun for use on Earth). The cold spell this past month and the shortages of natural gas as well as the need to import foreign oil in steadily larger amounts underscores the necessity for this nation to develop other energy resources. One of the most abundant and most visible is the Sun and NASA is reaching for the Sun to develop solar heating and cooling systems for residential and commercial use. At NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., solar collectors have been developed from technology gained from Apollo and Skylab programs for which the Sun was an important source of energy. At the center there is an ongoing Solar House" project, in operation since June 1975, and the data and knowledge gained from that project is available for use by business, and industry, as well as by other investigators from research centers and universities now concentrating on solar energy for home, commercial and even recreational use. But one of the major questions about solar heating and cooling, whether for home, office or recreation, is the question of cost. Are such systems economically feasible? Do they cost more than conventional systems? The answer to both questions is "Yes. They cost considerably more, but they are definitely economically feasible, according to Dean Richard Wiliams of Georgia Institute of Technologys College of Engineering in Atlanta. In support of this judgment for solar power, Dean Williams points to the just completed Shenandoah Solar Community Center in Atlanta, Ga., a project of his college, funded by a Federal grant. The center encompasses 55,000 square feet and it is heated 95 percent by solar energy. Solar power also provides energy for air conditioning but only up to 64 percent. An auxiliary system provides the backup needed for the air conditioning. The operation of the center is a real plus for solar power; but the cost also is plus plus $700,000 over the cost of a conventional heating and air conditioning system. However, under a conventional system, the cost of fuel would be an additional $70,000 annually at the present price of oil. And that can go up. There is no cost for the energy from the Sun. That means that in 10 years, the solar system will have paid for itself and from then on would provide heating and cooling at practically no cost at all. There is no question but that at the present time the initial investment in solar power is costly; but the present high price for solar collectors and other apparatus needed to harness the energy of the Sun ultimately will be reduced as more and more collectors and other solar machinery are developed and used. Dean Williams predicted. The collectors used for the Center, incidentally, are covered with two layers of glass that has low iron content. The lower level of iron in the glass makes it far more translucent and thus improves the efficiency of the solar collectors. In fact, according to Dean Williams, the collectors used to heat the Shenandoah Center can provide hot water at 140 degrees F., even when the temperature outside is minus 30 degrees F. and with the Sun as an energy source, there is no cost for fuel. We should use the power of the Sun as much as possible.. Dean Williams believes especially since the cost of investment in collectors and other parts of a solar heating and e thing. NASA studies tend to cooling system is a 'Upport his endorsement of solar power. If you are a homeowner, it might be wise to try using solar xiwer on a small scale first, perhaps by installing a solar e collectors for such a ystem just for hot water. The system are relatively low in cost and are worth Even a 25 year old project like Weber Basin will not get their water until previous rights are fulfilled. It appears that in most cases in this area a farmer will receive percent of their water needs this year, he said. We cant produce water, Mr. Winegar said, explaining that all payments must go on. Water users must pay 100 percent for water even though they dont get their full allotment. Costs of operation, maintenance and payments on dams do not change even though there is less water. He compared it to The a house payment. payment doesnt stop just because you move out of the house for two or three months. Weber Basin District provides approximately 60 percent of all municipal and industrial water from North Ogden to North Salt Lake. This water is sold to the cities for distribution to the home owner and user. They also provided an additional 80,000 30-5- 0 acre feet supplementary water throughout the district, including Summit County, Morgan, Weber Davis and part of Box Elder last year. To illustrate the situation, Mr. Winegar said before irrigation Weber Basin District can begin to store water for themselves prior rights must be satisfied by the fill and spill of Echo and Deer Creek. Pineview and East Canyon would have to fill to original capacity before enlargement. All of this has to occur before Weber Basin District has a right to fill any of their reservoirs, ofWillard, Pineview enlargements and Causey on the Ogden, and of East enlargements Canyon, Lost Creek and Wanship. In a year of water shortage such as this year, you can begin to see what this means, he said. California is just one year ahead of us in the drought. The same thing we see happening there will be happening to us if we have the same kind of winter next year. We must be careful. DeVar Geary, bac- teriologist for Weber Basin, said water superintendents, water treatment plant operators, distribution people and others interested in the workshop are attending. They are preparing for tests which certify that they have the knowledge to operate water treatment plants. The workshops offer information from basic to advanced. rt one-tim- flat-plat- Accidents can be prevented in many sports Coaches and teachers attending a symposium at McKay-De- e Hospital Center in Ogden on Injuries and Hygiene of the Teenager, heard warnings from 15 physicians, a dentist and a physical therapist that accidents dont just happen, they are caused; and poor judgement on their parts can result in injuiries with lifelong complications. "The junior athlete is so anxious to compete he wont tell you he is hurt. But if you put him back in the game, you are on taking an awesome responsibility for his future an Dr. F.R.

Several popular fallacies were debunked at the seminar. "Cleanliness is not next to Godliness, dermatologist S.T. Thomson. M D said. The daily shower in the gym can be a real problem to the teenager with acne, athletes foot, crotch itch or a yeast infection, he said. And adhesive tape, football helmets and athletic supports often aggravate skin problems, he warned. The popular elastic bandage is worthless for a knee injury, professional expertise is required to tape injuries, and knee give psychological guards purchased support only. "They may make the players mother feel good, Dr. Stuart said. However, dentist D O. Hendrickson said mouth guards can eliminate 50 percent of the dental injuries on the field and kids should be made to use them, even though they dont like them." The football quarterback probably needs one made professionally, Dr. Hendrickson said, so other players can understand his signals. Former athlete Ken Colledge, now a registered physical therapist, took the coaches to task on the matter of exercises. Some of the most popular are very injurious to adolescents, he said, injuring or even destorying the growth centers that are not yet fully matured. He listed duck waddles, Russian bounce, squat thrusts, full thrusts, some yoga positions, s and bench presses as double leg raises, improper some of the most destructive, and repeated an orthopedic surgeons comment that jump splits are very nice to look at but very harmful to the girl.

A Ugandan spokesman said there was no reason for alarm and that the Americans would be free to leave after the meeting. There are approximately 240 Americans, mostly missionaries, spread throughout Uganda. Amins surprise move, if there is such a thing for the Ugandan president, followed by two days charges that the United States, Britain and Israel had plotted to overthrow him in a coup which he thwarted two weeks ago. Amin also declared the United States should consider its own human rights crimes before meddling in Ugandan affairs. The black Anglican archbishop and two government ministers were killed on February 16 after being arrested for plotting against Amin. The Ugandan government reported the trio died in an automobile crash but it is widely speculated that Amin had them killed or even did it himself.

After spending 18 days aboard an orbiting space laboratory, two Soviet cosmonauts returned to Earth Friday. The Tass news agency said the Soyuz 24 reentry capsule made a soft landing in snow and high winds approximately 1,250 miles east of Moscow. According to Tass, mission commander Viktor Gorbatko and flight engineer Yuri Glazov successfully completed their docking mission with the Salyut 5 orbital lab. The lab, launched last June, remained in orbit and it is expected that other manned Soviet missions will be making use of it.

McCarty Executive Secretary Utah Education Association cp If j 4t.iit STAFF STAFF STAFF I Some years ago, a Boy Scout was frustrated about a merit badge requirement that hed tried for weeks to meet. The task: To dive to the bottom of a swimming pool, pick up a brick that had been dropped there, and bring that brick out of the pool. The Scout worked for weeks, and even though he swam like a trout, he still couldnt do it. One day, a friend told him it was simple. "All you do is dive into the water, keep your eyes on the brick ... Wait a minute, said the frustrated Scout. You mean people can open their eyes underwater?" Sure! said the friend. Try it." The Scout dropped a brick into the swimming pool, dived in, opened his eyes, picked up the brick, and got it out of the pool on tne first try. The moral of that little story is that sometimes we take it for granted that people know more than they really do. The tragic thing about this is that it can cause a lot of lost years. For example, I once knew a boy who didn't realize that trees had leaves until he was in his teens. He was a bright, able young man who had a curable problem. Trouble was, nobody recognized it soon enough. This boy was very nearsighted. Somehow, he didnt get to the opthalmologist when he should have. The day he came home with his new eyeglasses, he looked at a tree and asked his mother this question: What are those things on that tree? Theyre leaves, she said. Ive always thought trees were big green blobs, the boy said. I didnt know they had leaves. If you see your child continually plagued by some problem, talk about it. Chances are, it can be resolved with a few insuch as the ones that Boy Scout must telligent questions have asked about underwater swimming Sometimes, the only thing we neec to open our eyes is a piece of key information.
