Despite the billions of words written about the .subject, most people are , woefully about ignorant energy - what it is and where it comes from. Jerry E. Hess, who is a Control Engineer for the Bethlehem Steel short Corporation, gave course about fuel and the future when he was a guest on the Manion Forum radio program. Here are some of the things he told his audience: The basic unit of energy is the BTU or British Thermal Unit. Thats the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of a pound of water one degree a . farenheit. Currently, Americans are using about 70 million billion BTU's a year. billion is a better known quadrillion as a quad. Therefore, were using about 70 qiud.s a year. million A c 'Seven! y q ua ds . incidentally, is about thirty percent of all the energy used throughout the world and some people think its shocking that one nation, with only six percent of the world's population, is using such a big share of the total world energy. Maybe so. But lets remember that a lot of that energy is used to produce exports - things that are used and needed all over the world - such as farm and products machinery. Where does our energy come from? The answer is that about three- - quarters of it 75 percent - comes from oil and natural gas. 20 percent Nearly comes from coal. About fo u r is percent power, and two percent is nuclear. Very small amounts of energy come from solar and geothermal power, burning hydro-electri- c wood and waste materials, and st) forth. At present, all those miscellaneous sources of energy add up to no more than a drop in the bucket. The more exotic energy in will sources grow importance, not so much Government never furthers any enterprise but by the alacrity with which it gets out of the way. -- Paraphrase of Thoreau large-scal- survey made American Council by the for World Freedom, heres how the Senate stands on the Panama Canal treaties: combustion of e waste materials will become much more important. But even at that, theyll still only supply a small fraction of our countrys energy needs. All those newer energy sources combined will two provide only of total energy percent usage by ll)85 and maybe about eight percent by the end of the century. Please a dont what I'm misunderstand saying. Theres a lot we can and should do to study and these promising develop forms of energy. But it will take time. We have to face up to the fact that they cant possibly make major contributions until some time into the next century. Only nuclear fission is capable of supplying the growing demand for electric the next over power And quarter-centurelectric power is our most versatile form of energy. The great majority of knowledgeable scientists are convinced that the risks nuclear with associated fission are small. In fact, its been shown that many more deaths, injuries, and health hazards are caused by the use of conventional fuels than would be threatened by hundreds of nuclear plants. The possibility of a nuclear accident is small, but there's little doubt that nuclear without large-scal- e power well be facing severe energy shortages year after ear. Our standard of living would a suffer drastic and the entire setback, of the United economy States would take a terrific beating. Mr. Hess energy agenda for the future relies heavily on nuclear power. But there is much, much more. Next week well tell you all about it here in this column American llVr I cat arcs y.

This bill has been a very controversial one." said Marriott, and my opposition has been that it puts the federal government wrongly in the compensation business. He continued. It will not only fail to reduce crime, it will create a new victim the taxpayer. In the governments effort to protect the innocent, they have penalized every citizen by using their money to pay for the crimes. What we need is a program of restitution that forces the criminal to pay his victims directly for the crime." Marriott listed four major defects in the criminal justice system as: (I) the failure to shield private citizens from crime, (2) inadequate detection and apprehension of criminals. (3) inade-qua- tc and punishment rehabilitation of criminals. (4) inadequate remedies for victims of crime. What we need to solve the alarming rise in crime in this country'. he said, is a much tougher prison reform program aimed at the career criminal, mandatory strict sentences for offenses involving handguns, and a vigorous program of restitution in w hich the criminal pays for the crime. We cant fight crime by spending millions of taxpayers dollars to compensate victims, giving the criminal all the breaks. The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs. -- Thomas A.
