BOOK REVIEWS
Courage In Crisis by Vin-
cent H. Gaddis: Out of the
night came the anguished
cry of a woman: “Help me!
Oh, God, won't somebody
please help me.” The fran-
tic plea come over the
radio receiver in the con-
trol tower at Love Field in
Dallas, Texas. A young air
traffic controller opened
his microphone. “Identify
yourself! ” he cried But the
only answer was the slight
crackle of static. And so
began the terrifying saga
of Beth Black - trapped in a
private plane with her
dying husband beside her
The story of how she ac-
complished the feat with
the help of instructions
from air traffic controller
Donald Potter is a ringing
testament to her courage
and her faith in God
The Establishment by
Howard Fast: It is 1948;
World War II is over but
the world is not at peace.
With masterly skill,
Howard Fast draws the
reader into the turbulent
and passionate affairs of
the family of Dan Lavette,
the immigrant fisherman’s
son who made and lost two
fortunes, married and
divorced one of the richest
and most beautiful women
in San Francisco, and in
spite of associations with
people of all walks of life,
still seems most at home
with the rough-and-tumble
of the waterfront

The Gold Key saving ac-
count remains the same
There Is a lost fortune
In the walls, floors and ceiling
of this home.
ip
■I
At first glance, it looks like a lot of homes in this
area, maybe yours
But inside the walls, under the floors and
above the ceiling there s another story
This home is poorly insulated And because
of that, the people who live here are losing a
fortune
10% of the energy we use goes for lighting,
cooking and running small appliances 20% for
heating water And 70% for air conditioning and
heating
So, ft's easy to see why if your home is poorly
insulated, your energy, as well as your utility
bills, can go right through the roof
On the other hand, with proper insulation, you
can reduce the load on your cooling and heating
system by as much as 20% to 30%. And it's not
hard to figure out what effect that can have on
your utility bills
Now, the question arises of how much insula-
tion you need
Three factors affect that The way your home
is built. How much insulation you already have
And the climatic conditions of the area where
you live.
A recent national survey has broken the coun-
try down into six climatic regions and estab-
lished R-values for each of them
The R-values or numbers which you will see
stamped on the insulation are the energy
efficiency ratings
The "R" stands for resistance to winter heat
loss and summer heat gam
The accompanying number signifies the in-
sulatingcapability The higher the number the
more effective the insulation
So, the guidelines we are about to give you
encompass all of SESCO s operating area
Your ceilings should have a rating of R-26.
The walls. R-19 And floors with crawl
space, R-11
The following chart shows you whal that
means in terms of the type of insulation
material used
So. now that you have some idea about what
your home needs, we suggest that you get in
touch with a reputable insulation dealer the
local building inspector or the county agent
They can answer any further questions and
help you determine exactly how much additional
insulation your home should have
But the most important thing is to get in touch
with them right away The more time you waste
the more energy vou waste
