Consumers concerned about
shady insulation deals
By LOUISE COOK
Associated Press Writer
Visions of a future tax break
and memories of past winter
heating bills have prompted
millions of consumers to im
prove their home insulation.
They have also caused concern
about shortages and shady
business practices.
President Carter’s proposal
to provide up to S4OO in tax
credits for homeowners who in
stall insulation, storm windows
and other energy-saving de
vices is still pending as Con
gress grapples with the admin

People
Totie Fields
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A spokeswoman for comedian
Totie Fields, who underwent a mastectomy last week,
says the entertainer expects to resume her career within
three months.
Miss Fields, released Sunday from Los Angeles New
Hospital, was hospitalized for exhaustion, her agent said.
During the hospitalization, a malignant tumor was
discovered.
Doctors amputated Miss Fields’ left leg 18 months ago
because of a circulation problem. After that, Miss Fields,
46, suffered two heart attacks and underwent surgery on
her left eye.
Emest Hemingway
DETROIT (AP) — A love letter by Ernest Hemingway
has been sold for $3,400.
The four-page letter, which the author said was written
by flashlight during World War 11, was sent to his future
wife, Mary, from northern France. Hemmingway was a
war correspondent for Collier’s magazine.
The letter was donated to the Detroit Public Library for
the auction this weekend. Hemmingway ordered that his
private letters never be published.
The identity of the buyer was not released.
David Berkowitz
NEW YORK (AP) — David Berkowitz, accused of being
the Son of Sam ,44-caliber killer, has met with his natural
mother, Betty Falco, who gave him up for adoption
shortly after he was bom, the New York Daily News says.
The paper said in today's editions that Berkowitz had
steadfastly refused to see Mrs. Falco during the two
months he has been confined in Kings County Hospital,
where he is undergoing psychiatric tests.
He was persuaded to allow the visit of his mother, now
living on Long Island, after repeated pleas from his sister
and his attorney. Berkowitz’s adoptive father, Nathan,
and his half sister, Roslyn Rothenberg, have visited often.
has increased already. The
department said three million
homes were reinsulated in the
first half of 1977, up from only
750,000 homes in the same
period a year earlier.
The department estimates
there will be enough insulation
this year for 1.9 million new
homes, 3.4 million existing
homes and 300,000 mobile
homes. But the ultimate market
is much bigger.
A National Bureau of Stand
ards study in 1974 — the latest
year for which figures are
available — showed that some
40 million, owner-occupied,
single-family homes needed
more insulation. Eighteen mil-
David Berkowitz
lion of the homes had no in
sulation at all.
Manufacturers in the S7OO
million industry also warn of
tight supplies, particularly of fi
berglass. The Federal Trade
Commission is investigating
competition in the industry, and
the Consumer Product Safety
Commission has held hearings
on safety aspects of insulation.
Meanwhile, the two agencies
have some advice for con
sumers who are considering
hiring a contractor or installing
their own insulation.
There are three basic types of
insulation:
—Mineral wool. This includes
rock wool and fiberglass and
accounts for 80 to 85 per cent of
residential insulation. It can be
blown in place or purchased in
blankets or “batts” with a va
por barrier to prevent moisture
inside a building from passing
through walls and ceilings and
condensing on the insulation.
—Plastic foam. Made of poly
styrene, polyurethane or urea
formaldehyde, it can be pur
chased in pre-formed sheets or
can be jnjected into existing
walls as a wet foam by a con
tractor.
—Cellulose fiber. Made of
finely ground cellulose products
such as recycled newspaper,
this insulation can be poured or
blown in place.
The type of insulation you
choose depends in part on where
you are installing it. Mineral
wool batts are generally easiest
to install during construction or
in an unfinished attic. If you are
adding insulation to existing
walls or a finished attic,
however, you might prefer loose
fill or a plastic foam.
The government has several
booklets available to help con
sumers. “Making the Most of
Your Energy Dollars” provides
detailed information on how to
figure out how much insulation
you need and what it will cost
you. The booklet costs 70 cents.
“In the Bank or Up the Chim
ney" has illustrated, how-to in
structions on weatherstripping,
caulking and insulation.

Escapee
search
pushed
A lookout was continuing
today for two escapees from a
Spalding County stockade work
detail.
The men are thought to have
stolen an auto from a Griffin
resident and to have taken guns,
clothing and money from a
house.
Melvin Baker, 31, of Acworth,
and Randy Cochran, 23, both
escaped on foot from the county
land fill Friday about 10 a.m.

Glenn Everhart of Ga. 155,
McDonough Road, reported the
theft of her two-door maroon
1966 Ford Galaxie.
A neighbor’s mobile home
also was burglarized.
Sheriff's officers said several
guns, clothing and an un
disclosed amount of money
were stolen from the residence
of Gary Earl Jones, Route 6,
Box 648.
According to a spokesman at
the Public Works Camp, Baker
was serving a sentence for
forgery and writing bad checks.

Mrs. Mondale
real ‘swinger’
ATLANTA (AP) - Joan
Mondale, on a nationwide swing
to promote the arts, tried her
hand at real swinging when she
visited one of Atlanta’s artistic
landmarks, but she couldn’t
keep up with Mayor Maynard
Jackson.
Vice President Walter Mon
dale’s wife, here to address the
International City Managers
Association, had asked to see
the Isamu Noguchi “Play
scapes” in Piedmont Park.
Jackson told her that “zillions
of children” and their parents
use the equipment designed by
the Japanese sculptor, so Mrs.
Mondale tried out the swings,
but never could go as high as the
mayor.
“Oh, we’re out of sync,” she
exclaimed laughing.
After seeing the $500,000
“Playscapes,” a joint project of
Atlanta’s High Museum of Art,
the city and the National En
dowment for the Arts, Mrs.
Mondale said she would
“spread the word” about using
art in playground equipment.
She later told the city man
agers that the arts can bring a
“burst of energy to the down
town section” and help “create
livable cities.”
“Every city finds its own way
of integrating arts into its life.
My presence here is to serve as
a catalyst, to foster the sharing
of ideas among cities,” she said.
