Glass collection
paid off mortgage
BROOKLYN, Conn. (UPI) —
Elis Rabb may be almost 72
but he’s collected a million
pounds of glass for which he
and his wife got SIO,OOO. They
paid off the church mortgage.
Rabb and his wife have spent
the past four years amassing
their collection.
Before it could be recycled at
the nearby Glass Containers
Corp., which paid the SIO,OOO,
the Rabbs had to break the
glass into 55-gallon drums.
When they collected the
money, they turned it over to
the church and it liquidated the
second mortgage.
Penny a Pound
The collection got started in
this rural hamlet eight miles
from the Rhode Island border
when churchgoers learned the
glass company would pay a
penny a pound for old bottles
and jars.
Rabb, a man who came to
this country from the Finnish
town of Kokkola near the Gulf
of Bothnia and succeeded in the
plumbing and heating business,
got things organized.
He set up a route with 30

Fuel increased
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Every state in the union will
get increased gasoline alloca
tions in April of at least 90 per
cent of 1973 levels, Federal
Energy Administrator William
E. Simon announced Thursday.
April allocations represent a
5 per cent boost over March,
when states were given 85 per
cent of the gasoline they used
in 1973.
Simon said gasoline suppliers
had been ordered to draw 11.1
million barrels from their
stocks to meet the April
allocations.
Oil supplies will be replen
ished shortly from the Middle
East following the end of the
Arab embargo.
However, Simon’s deputy
John Sawhill warned at a news

customers and then he and his
wife, Olga, used his old
plumbing office as a storage
and collection depot.
The couple sorted the glass
into three color groups —green,
brown and clear. They removed
all the metal, rings and caps.
Separated into Drums
Then it was broken into the
drums. Each drum weighed 400
pounds when full and when four
of them were filled, Rabb
trucked them the seven miles
to Dayville and the glass
company.
Pastor William Carter whose
St. John’s Lutheran Church has
many parishioners with ances
tral ties to Finland, said the
Rabbs’ work was inspirational.
“I think it’s fantastic. They
have done something for the
community and the congrega
tion. They are a tremendously
active couple,” he said.
Pastor Carter said some of
the 160 parishioners gathered at
the church, which was built in
1970, and after honoring the
Rabbs they burned the church’s
second mortgage taken out for
improvements, and totaling
SIO,OOO.
conference that long gasoline
Ines are likely this summer if
drivers fail to continue observ
ing conservation measures.
“I expect the American
people to continue conserva
tion,” he said, adding: “If we
see a relaxation of these
conservation measures, if we
see an abandonment of car
pooling, if we see people
exceeding or not heeding the 55
miles an hour speed limit ...
then the situation could get
worse. The shortage could be
as high as 6 per cent.”
With winter behind most of
the nation, Sawhill said the
FEO intended to push for
summer energy conservation.
“We’re concerned with air
conditioning,” he said. “We will
be asking people to turn up
their thermostats this sum
mer.” Federal offices already
had agreed to keep government
buildings cooled only to 76
degrees, he said.
Asked whether gasoline and
oil prices would go up or down,
Sawhill said “it depends on the
world markets.” If world prices
level off or drop, he said, the
price of gasoline could fall.
In any event, Sawhill said,
the allocation program will not
be phased out in the foreseea
ble future, no matter how much
gasoline stocks rise.
