Hundreds of dollars slashed yearly I
Oil burner home heating unit improvements save up to 30 percent Takes position with court
While everybody seems to be
looking for exotic new forma of
energy, oil heating manufacturers
have quietly been
carrying out what amounts to a
major revolution in home
heating equipment. The result:
substantially reduced fuel
consumption, lower costs, and
thoroughly dependable comfort,
according to Edmund W.
Renner, executive vice
president. Fuel Merchants
Association of New Jersey.
Today's technical improvements
in oil heating
systems make it possible for a
family to save from is to 30
percent of the fuel it uses annually.
"Coupled with other
energy conservation measures,
modern oil heat technology
permits a family to save a very
significant amount of fuel,"
Renner said. How significant?
He indicated that a homeowner
who performs conservation
measures like proper insulation
or caulking around windows
could save even more of the
heating fuel his home consumes
each year.
After a decade of development
and refinement, heating
oil manufacturers have made
major breakthroughs in im-
proving the components that
make up an oil heating system.
For instance, the flame
retention burner is one such
component that has been
greatly improved in design and
efficiency of operation, and is
now standard equipment in
most new oil furnaces and
boilers. With this burner, less
fuel is consumed (up to 30
percent) because the system
now heats the home with a
smaller flame. Thus,, the
system offers a much more
efficient and economical way of
providing comfortable and
dean oil heat for the home.
"There are burners now being
developed that will save up to 40
percent, meaning that a
homeowner could save hundreds
of dollars each year,"
Renner said.
Today's oil heating systems
also are more compact, quiet,
and require less maintenance
than their predecessors. The
compactness in design plus oil
hears customary dependability
as a fuel has gained wide acceptance
by home builders and
home buyers alike. "People
who buy a new home that uses
oil heat no longer see a bulky
heating plant in their

Right now Is the time of
the Oktoberfest in Munich,
Germany. For you Bavarian
beer lovers, the annual harvest
celebration is In full
bloom. It started in mid September
and will continue 'til
October 4th. This is one of
the truly memorable
celebrations to be found in
Europe. It Is trie time of die
Blergemutllchkeit - a period
set aside each year to celebrate
the annual harvest of oats and barley and other beer
Ingredients, a time of genial hospitality where friendship
and congeniality are supreme. Beer tents are set up by
such breweries as Lowenbrau, Pschoor, Paulaner,
Spaten, Hasher, Hofbrau and Augustlner for the sole purpose
of hosiing one to two thousand visitors at a sitting In
each tent. More than 30.000 local students get the beer
barrels rolling as they stroll from tent to tent in their fancy
customes, following behind colorful groups of Bavarian
Brass Bands. Tourists from all over the world loin In the
fun and festivities as the students lineup by the mile to get
their handout of "suds" from the never-ending flow of the
Be«r Fountains. These are actually water fountains which
during Oktoberfest flow only with delightful Bavarian
boer which is a milder type than other German beers. The
Oktoberfest was formerly held In its entirety during the
month of Oktober. But October is unreliable weather-wise
in Munich, so the practical Bavarians have launched their
celebration in mid-September to get a more favorable
break from the weather man. Although 43 per cent of the
buildings In Munich were destroyed during World War II,
practically all have been restored or rebuilt. So picturesque
Munich, only 30 miles from the Bavarian Alps,
still retains its charm and Gemutllchkeit.

Take time to seal your home from winter's bite
Soon winter will-be upon us.
With memories of last year's
snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures
still fresh,
homeowners in many parts of
the nation are about to assess
their cozy abodes to make sure
homes remain cozy throughout
the coming season.
"Now isthebesttlmeto begin
winterizing your home," says
Daniel J. Colangelo, president
of the 15,000 member New
Jersey Association of Realtors.
"With home heating costs
soaring, it behooves
homeowners to take the time to
secure their home against
winter's chill," states
Oolangelo. "We suggest the
following tips."
-Apply caulking where
needed. Dried, loose caulking is
an energy waster, and can let
moisture in.
-Cover or remove window air
conditioners. Removal is best,
but if this is not possible, install
a weatherproof cover to
eliminate air leakage and
protect the unit.
-Check roof and flashing.
Look for broken shingles, loose
nails and flashing that's out of
place. Leaks and subsequent
wood rot and nut will result if
the roof is not water tight and
uashing is not properly placed.
Check the driveway and
sidewalks. Small cracks you
find now will be much larger by
spring. Be sure to look at joints
between concrete areas and the
house. New products on the
market make concrete repair
jobs much easier than a few
years ago.
-Examine heating equipment
