A glossary of energy terms
Along with all the energy stories appearing regularly in the daily newspaper comes a vocabulary of terms and concepts that may be new to some. Here are a few of the terms you may run across in your reading. Biomass conversion — The conversion of organic wastes into methane (natural gas) through the action of microorganisms. BTU — British thermal unit, is the amount of heat necessary to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. The number of BTU’s needed per square foot per year is away of measuring and comparing the energy efficiency of buildings. One “therm” equals 100,000 BTU’s. Coal gasification — The conversion of coal to a gas that is suitable for use as a fuel. May be either a high-BTU or low BTU fuel. Coal liquefaction — The conversion of coal into liquid hydrocarbons and related compounds by hydrogenation (the process of adding hydrogen to an organic compound). Cogeneration — This is a concept that links electricity generation with process heat or steam production. Waste heat from industry can be captured to produce electricity, and waste heaf from electric utilities can be captured to produce process

steam tor industry or hot water for buildings. Degree day — This is the measure of the deviation of the mean daily temperature from a given standard, with each variance from the standard during a single day recorded as one degree day. The heating standard is 63 degrees Fahrenheit, so if temperatures ranged from 60 to 40, the mean would be 50 degrees Fahrenheit and the day would register 15 degree-day units. Used to estimate energy requirements for heating a building. Energy efficiency ratio — This is used to gauge relative electrical efficiency of appliances; found by dividing BTU-per-hour output by the number of electrical watts used. Geothermal energy — Energy from the internal heat of the earth. It has a high potential for electric power production, residential space heating, refrigeration and air conditioning in some regions. Oil shale — Sedimentary rocks containing insoluble organic matter which can be converted into oil by heating Passive solar energy — Energy is gathered by natural convection and heating, rather than by mechanical means; a house’s
structure is used to collect arid store the sun’s heat. R-factor — Thig is the measurement of a material’s resistance to heat loss, used for insulation. The higher the Rfactor, the greater a material’s ability to retain heat. Six inches of fiberglass material translates to an insulating value of R-19, the recommended norm for walls in the Northeast. Attics should be insulated to R-30. Retrofit — This is the modification of existing equipment to incorporate recent developmental changes in design and use; derives from the term retroactive refitting. Solar energy — Mechanical means are used in collecting the sun’s heat, in the form of radiation, and in transferring and storing this heat for later use.

Santa’s A Beloved Symbol of Season
The jovial, genial figure of Santa Claus has had many names, and many origins throughout history. For over 1,700 years a Santa-figure has been said to visit in most regions of the globe and certainly no Christmas would be complete without the tradition of this cheery giftgiver. The American Santa has his origin in the person of Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra in Lycia, Asia Minor. Nicholas lived in the early
aBAYH - lines From Washington by U.S. Senator Birch Bayh
As I travel around the state of Indiana, one theme seems to be on the minds of a great many Hooslers. There is almost a universal concern about the economic situation bf our country, about the rapidly rising prices of basic "necessities’* such as meat, clothing, transportation and utilities. To be sure, we are faced with a serious set of problems. Compared to the not too distant past, times have gotten tougher in the United States. People are discovering they must do without some of the “luxuries'* which were widely available several years ago at reasonable prices. There is another side of the coin to consider, however... I think it would behoove Americans to stop worrying about our own problems for a short time and pay attention to a situation that is taking place on the other side of the world. It is a drama that is unfolding each evening on the nightly news and in the morning newspapers. It is a story of unbelievable suffering. I am referring to the plight of the Cambodian refugees who are marching across the border into Thailand seeking shelter, food and medical care. Take a few minutes to watch the filmed reports on television; because, if you do, you will see people starving before your very eyes. You will see a mother too weak to sit up and care for her baby. You will see young children who, if living in the United States would most likely be playing baseball or at- ,

Numerous trades and professions took the kindly bishop as their patron and soon his role expanded to that of gift-giver. When Dutch settlers brought the legend of Saint Nicholas to America, the name “San Nicholaas” then became Santa Claus.
tending school, but instead, sit in a jungle refugee camp too hungry even to eat. Within the last couple of weeks, three of my colleagues from the Senate traveled to Thailand, and the stories they brought back literally moved many to tears. Last week the First Lady made the same journey, and the cdfhpassion she showed the Cambodians will be, I believe, transformed into sheer determination to mobilize our country’s vast resources to help. Despite our economic problems, despite our energy shortages, despite everything, America is still the richest country on the planet. We have the wealth and resources to make a difference for the Cambodian refugees. What we need is the spirit and the resolve to find the generosity in our hearts to mobilize those resources. Peoples throughout the world look upon the United States as a merciful nation, a country that is willing to share and to stretch out a helping hand. America should offer that hand now, before even one more child starves.

Two centuries later, Clement Moore’s poem, “A Visit From Saint Nicholas,” made Santa’s popularity soar, and changed his appearance. Originally thought to resemble the gaunt Saint Nicholas, Moore's work describes Santa as the small and stocky character we know today —a bearded man with sleigh and reindeer, bringing gifts and good cheer to all. What about the reindeer? It is thought that Saint Nicholas traveled through the cold, northern regions on the wings of the rapid North Wind. In these colder, sparser areas, reindeer are the sole means of transportation. Hence, Santa's association with sleigh and his eight antlered friends. - Today, the legend of Santa remains alive as children place treats and stockings out. on Christmas Eve with the belief that Santa will reward them if they have been good during the preceding year.

Today’s Christmas Tree, And How It Came to Be!
Why do we have Christmas trees? The custom can be traced to the early pagan days of Northern Europe. Natives used holly, evergreen, and mistletoe to decorate their homes at midwinter. The greens were thought to encourage the cohabitation of friendly spirits during the winter solstice. European Christians enjoyed the color and fragrance of the greens and continued the practice long after the pagan significance was forgotten. Pageant plays as we know them today developed from the miracle plays of the Middle Ages. These programs depicted religious stories and moral themes. Because they were per : formed in churches, scenery was kept to a minimum. The entire garden of Eden was represented by a fir tree with apples tied upon it. Soon, it became known as the Paradise Tree. Ironically, this present-day symbol of the Nativity originated as a representation of the Fall of Man. In 1450, when secular plays were banned, the symbolic tree was brought into the home as an object lesson. The evergreen symbolized morality, and the apples, sin. Later, cookies and sweets were hung as a reminder of the “sweetness” of the Savior's Redemption. Decorative treats were expanded to include candy

bark and seeds, slide programs and how wood is used today. One of the most popular parks in past years and sure to be a favorite this winter is Pokagon State Park, overlooking Lake James in Steuben County, which offers ice skating, cross country skiing, and the fifty-five mile per hour double toboggan run. People who need a good place to stretch their legs during the winter months find that State Parks offer miles of trails and natural environment. Cabins may be rented at Turkey Run and Pokagon State Parks. Five state inns are in operation throughout the winter, offering a rustic opportunity to get away. They include: Turkey Run: Canyon Inn at McCormick s Creek State Park; Spring Mill Inn: Clifty Falls Inn, overlooking the Ohio River; and Potawatomi Inn at Pokagon State Park. Naturalistic activities are planned throughout the week at these inns, including nature hikes, slide presentations ancl special programs. Frequent park visitors should take advantage of the Department of Natural Resources annual passes which provide unlimited admittance to state parks and recreation areas for a family-type vehicle and all its occupants. The annual entrance passes are priced at a bargain level — $lO.
canes and popcorn chains. Later, the moralistic character of the tree gradually faded as gJittering ornaments and figures took the place of apples and wafers. Legend attributes the first lighted tree to Martin Luther’s 16th century attempt to recreate the beautiful. snowy evergreens of Germany. Candles were original!) used on such trees and were later replaced b> electric facsimiles. Through the years, lighting designs have been revised to today's present varieties. / The tradition of decorating Christmas trees in the United States began in 1776 during the American Revolution. when Hessian soldiers brought the custom from their 'native German). A short while later, in 1804. a Christmas tree was mentioned as part of a holida) celebration at Fort Dearborn. Illinois. With little objection, the traditional tree became an integral part of a 19th century Christmas and the practice of decorating holiday trees has continued ever since. Today, more than two-thirds of American homes have a beautiful tree as part of their holiday decorations
