ENERGY CONSERVATION
CONTINUES
Now that the cold winds of
winter are gone many people
tend to forget about conserv
ing energy. There are
several things you can do at
this time of year to continue
conserving energy. Now is a
good time to check air
conditioning filters. Some
filters can be washed and
others need to be replaced.
Dirty filters can shorten the
life of an air conditioner. For
central systems, the Univer
sity of Georgia specialists
tell us that the filters should
be changed at least once each
heating season and AGAIN
each cooling season for the
most efficient operation.
In hot weather, lamps, hair
dryers, or television sets,
near your thermostat will
create heat and make an air
conditioner put out more cool
air than is needed to cool the
room. Items, such as
furniture, placed in front of
air conditioning ducts or
units can also cause the air
conditioner to have to work
extra hard.
Try using curtains,
draperies, blinds, or shades
on windows facing the sun
because they will help
prevent the loss of coolness to
the hot sun. Be sure that
draperies or curtains are not
over ducts or window units.
SUNBATHING
HOUSEPLANTS
Growth of houseplants and
length of time they remain
attractive depends on the
amount of light they receive.
When the last traces of
winter are gone we are
sometimes anxious to take
our plants outside in the
sunshine. Some houseplants,
expecially the ones that have
been indoors for a long time,
cannot tolerate long periods
of hot sunlight.
Gradually condition your
plants to the light by first
moving them to a window
that gets sunlight for a short
period of time each day and
then move them outside in
the shade and finally put
them in the sunlight for short
periods of time. This con
ditioning allows the plant to
adjust slowly.
If you move all of your
plants outside on a pretty day
in order to “sun” them, you
may sunburn them. When a
plant gets too much direct
light the leaves become pale,
withered and turn brown and

* A ' " Mto.. ,<
To better serve the motoring public in this area,
Bob’s Used Cars and Carter Motor Cos. have entered
into an agreement by which new and used cars will be
available from either dealer.
So, if you see anew Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler,
Colt or Arrow on Bob’s Used Car lot, you will know that
Harry put it there and that Bob will sell it to you. The
same goes for a used car owned by Bob. Harry will be
glad to sell you one of those.
We believe that this cooperative sales agreement
can best serve the interests of all who are in the market
for either anew or used car.

New Industry at Shenandoah
To Utilize Solar Energy
A multi-million dollar
experimental project utiliz
ing solar energy to generate
electricity for anew industry
at Shenandoah, Ga., was
announced today.
U S. Energy Research and
Development Administration
(ERDA) officials have noti
fied Georgia Power Com
pany and Shenandoah repre
sentatives of ERDA’s accep
tance of the research
proposal submitted earlier
this year.
Alexander A. Simon, presi
dent of Shenandoah, an
nounced the new industry is a
West German-based knit
wear firm, Wilhelm Bleyle,
K. G., and will eventually
employ 300 persons. This will
be the first major German
manufacturing firm to open a
plant in Georgia. The
solar-produced electricity
will provide lighting and
other base electric loads for
the Bleyle plant. Steam not
used for the production of
electricity will then provide
for the heating, cooling and
process steam requirements.
The site is 25 miles
southwest of Atlanta’s Harts
field International Airport.
Shenandoah, a planned com
munity initiated in 1974, will
provide five acres for solar
collectors and generation
facilities. ERDA will build
the solar-powered electrical
generating station.
Georgia Power Vice Presi
dent Walter Hensley said
experimentation to generate
electricity from the sun to
power an industry is a
virtually untapped field.
Others participating in the
original site proposal were
Westinghouse, the architect
ural firm of Heery and Heery
and Georgia Tech.
“ERDA's acceptance of
the Georgia Power - Shenan
doah proposal,” said Hens
ley. • definitely is good news
for the Georgia consumer.
This proposed research
actually is part of Georgia's
response to President
Carter's appeals to face the
energy problems in a
forthright manner. Georgia's
energy situation will be
greatly improved through
successful research in alter
nate energy sources.
’ Some Georgia homes,”
he added, "are already using
the sun to heat water and
perform other household
chores. A real breakthrough
in today's energy situation
however - using the sun to
produce electric power - has
yet to appear. In the light of
this ERDA announcement,
that breakthrough should be
a strong possibility.”
The solar system to power
the knitwear mill will be
designed by major architect
ural-engineering firms and
solar technology consultants
w orking with Georgia Power.
Concentrating-type collect
ors will be used. Some 2,500
square meters of collector
mirrors will track the sun’s
location and heat the oil to
600 degrees.
Heat collected from the
solar system will produce
steam to drive two turbines
to generate electricity for the
plant. The exhaust heat from
the turbines then will be
piped into the knitwear mill
to heat or cool the building
and to provide steam for
pressing the clothing manu
factured there.
Engineers estimate the
plant w ill get 60 to 90 percent
of its total energy needs from
the sun. Georgia Power
Company is to provide the
back-up electric energy for
the plant's requirements. To
conserve energy, extra insu
lation will be provided. Fossil
fuel saved by use of solar
energy is valued at approxi
mately two million dollars
over a 20-year period.
ERDA expects to spend
more than $lO million for this
phase of its solar total energy
large-scale experiment.
Much of this amount will go
toward conceptual designs of
prototypes by three solar
teams. Georgia Power will
provide distribution facilities
and engineering services.
ERDA will provide money
lor the generating and heat
recovery system. and
Georgia Power will operate
the system.
Simon said a still unknown
factor is how successfully a
non-traditional or "exotic”
energy source, such as solar
power, can be tied in w ith the
traditional electric svstem
