executive officer said, “In the face of generally increasing household and energy costs over the years, we recognize the particularly difficult plight of the economically disadvantaged (the unemployed, in firm, those on fixed and low incomes, etc.) in paying their utility bills, especially during serve winter months when the monthly usage and billings are typically highest. “In the absence of an adequate legislative solution at both the state and national levels to this ever in creasing problem. NIPSCO is tak ing this action to help those qualified customers who request assistance," he said. Again this year, administration of the fuel fund will be the re sponsibility of various charitable organizations operating in the .10 county service area of NIPSCO. Last year some 21 organizations participated in administering the program, including The United Way, Salvation Army and others. These organizations solicit donations from individuals, as well as business, church, charitable, social •nd civic groups, labor and con sumer organizations which are then matched by NIPSCO on a dollar for dollar basis and applied as energy credits toward the utility bills. Applicants for the one-time-only assistance will be interviewed by Energy Assistance Fund personnel or their designated representatives

and certified to NIPSCO as to both the customer' eligibility and amount of assistance they are entitled to receive. No matching credits will be made for money supplied by federal, state or local governmental agencies or other tax-supported organizations. NIPSCO also provides money for administrative expenses in estab lishing local energy assistance programs. In each area, the Fund organiza tion is to include, but not be re stricted to. representatives of cha ritablc, labor, consumer and religious groups. “The program is intended to provide assistance to persons who. because of circumstances beyond their control, have difficulty in meeting home heating needs It is also designed to reduce the number of customers disconnected during the winter heating season “Although we are hopeful that this program, along with others available to our customers such as Project SAFE, will go a long way toward preventing customers from being without heat this winter, it represents a stop gap measure at best. Ultimately, a lasting solution depends on • recognition by federal, state and local governments that utility service is essential and that tax-supported assistance must be available, whether it be a cash payment, a credit system worked out with the local utility or an JAZZY FEAST TO BEAT THE HEAT That famous Creole wtew Jambalaya, could t* called jazz cookery Just as jazz muww is improvised by whatever comes to mind at the moment.
