Show The Paper That Dares To Take Page 8 The Utah Independent March 6, 1975 READERS energy waste imposed by anti-trulaws against paper, chemical and 1 he tremendous other mills? amount ol energy these mills produce can he used lor electric power, hut it must now go up in flames. And why doesn't Congress speed up research on fusion a form of atomic power which is cleaner, less polluting and cheaper than fission and breeder reactors now in use to some extent by utility companies? It is true millions of dollars have been invested in utility plants operating by fission or breeder reactors, and it is predicted by 19X0. 25 percent of our energy will come from this source, based on plants now in operation or contracted for. But since fusion is more efficient and cheaper, should not Congress approve a pending bill to give S25I million for the development of fusion to the Princeton Physics University Labs? It is reported, however, that the utility companies which in fission invested have a powerful si OUTLOOK ( ontinucd from page 2 lobby in Washington to delay fusion until they have recouped some profits from investments in I he lission. Russians have fission and are working on fusion which they claim shall be developed in ten years. In the IJ.S. in scientists the qualified Liv ermore Labs also predict fusion development in ten years if funds are appropriated for research. by-pass- ed Since fusion plants will make our imports from Arab countries unnecessary, announcing a date publicly when we will get our energy from fusion and not need Arab oil might nw'aken the Arabs to lower their prices. Lets hope the President and Congress solve the current energy problem by revoking the laws which prevent paper and chemical plants from utilizing their surplus energy for power, and by appro v ing the research allowances to develop fusion, as well as by announcing its date to arouse the THRkfoRTTsALTER SAYS Arabs of their shortlived profits. Why not cull these matters to the attention of your Congressmen?

This includes a measure to repeal the onerous Gun Control Act of I96X. a law which has not reduced crime but has penalized the gun owner and burdened the American taxpayer to the tune of millions of dollars in administrative costs alone during v this period of recession and burgeoning depression.

The new beneficiaries include military families, retirees, school teachers, policemen, grocery clerks and students in addition to the unemployed, persons on welfare, and in other low income jobs. Under the program, families with assets of more than 1.500 are not clibible. However, a familys home. TV set, clothing or car are included not as determining eligibility. In order to qualify for food stamps, a single person can have no more than S194 a month new income. For a family of four, the ceiling is S5l3.and fora family of eight it is S886 a month. Some illustrations of how the food stamp program boosts the buying power of families are as follows: A family of seven with a 4net income of S500 can buy 5238 in food stamps for 5143. A retired man liv ing alone on a pension of S90 a month and with monthly housing cost of 545 would have a net income of 570. This makes him eligible for 546 of food stamps for 512. TO COME- -1 he MORE outlook for the program is expansion. both in the number receiving the benefits and the amounts. President Ford earlier this year offered a proposal to trim S6-5- 0 million a year from the government subsidy by increasing the purchase price of stamps. This was move rejected by overwhelming majorities in both the Senate and House a clear indication that the food stamp program will be expanded rather than cut back. Several lawmakers believe the program will eventually be turned into a massive income supplement program with the food stamps being used to pay for other necessities in addition to food. Note.
