For many of us the drudgery in our work is
redeemed by the ends it serves, ends of
satisfaction and self-realization. But for many
there is little personal.satisfaction and self-

Primary work satisfaction is in the pay-
envelope which contains money for sub-
sistence and for the leisure-time activities in
which some personal satisfaction and
fulfilment may be attained. Some jobs put
callouses on the heart as well as on the hands.

But as we struggle through life we find that
fulfilment is not a special quality built into the
jobitself. This only comes through what is put

_ Looking for new forms of energy —

By CARL HARTMAN ;

BRUSSELS AP - Milllons of tons of
straw will be burned or buried after the
wheat is harvested this summer | in
France. A govenrment .researcher,
Philippe Chartier, says this is a neglected
form of energy.

He wrote in a recent issue of Sciences et
Avenir Sciences and the Future that if a
way were found to burn the straw ef-
ficiently it could be converted into as

much energy as is produced from 23

million barrels of oil,
He added that an efficient system of

’ converting animal waste into methane

gas would produce the energy equivalent
of an additional 28 million barrels of of] a
year in France. .

Inventor Harold Bate demonstrated
the feasibility of using animal waste to
power an automobile in 1973 in Totnes,
England. He converted pig dung to
methane gas which propelled his 1955
model car along a highway at 78 miles an
hour. He said he used 100 pounds of waste
to get the equivalent of a tank of gasoline.

In Denmark, straw is already being
burned to produce energy. Since 1973 two
concerns have been building straw bur-

ners fo furnish hot water for farmers’

homes. .
The machine has to be fed by hand.

Experts at the headquarters of the |

European Common Market in Brussels
are financing -the development of an
automatic feeder.

They are also interested in a straw

. burner. developed at University of

Munich. Two prototypes have been built
to heat a farmer’s house in winter and dry
his grain in . the summer.
Straw burners are only a small part of
the Common Market’s energy program.
It is arguable whether they would be
practical in North America where crops
are bigger than in Europe but farms are
farther apart. The transport cost might

Make straw burners uneconomical there.

Another Common Market project is to
cultivate fast-growing bushes and trees
for use as fuel in power plants. Poplar
trees are one possibility. Another being
tested at Chartier’s research station in
Versaillles is a spike-looking plant from
Brazil which belongs to the spurge family.

Ireland gets about 25. percent of its
electric power by burning peat - a kind of

soil, rich in organic matter, that Irish ©
farmers have been cutting from the bogs |

and using in their fireplaces for centuries.

Now the Irish government is looking
toward the end of the century when the
peat will start giving out.

Peat is not only combustible, it is also
highly fertile. The Common Market is
helping with tests and studies on leaving

some in place and planting ‘both timber °

for construction and fast-growing
“biomass” for fuel.

Much work has been done on the solar
furnace, an assemblage of. mirrors to
concentrate the sun's rays and produce
intense heat that can make steam to run
all engine. ;

West Europeans claim a lead in the ©

field. In 1866 the Frenchmen Augustin
1 : .

Mouchot and Abel Piffre built a sun
reflector engine that impressed Emperor
Napoleon'IIl. A few years ‘later they had
another. running a small press at an
exhibition in Paris and printing a
newspaper called Le Soleil - the sun.

Last November, a solar furnace was
connected to a regular electricity net-
work, though the-link was only ex-
perimental. The furnace, at Odeillo in the
Pyrenees Mountains of southern France,
consists of thousands of small mirrors,
laid out on a curved surface 130 by 160
eet.

The French estimate that solar fur-
naces in sunny areas. will furnish elec-
tricity ata cost of aix to 12 cents a kilowatt
hour. That would make it competitive in
southern Europe if the price of oll goes up
appreciably from the present $13.75 a

rrel,

Large solar furnaces would take up a lot
of expensive real estate in Western
Europe. A station to produce three
megawatts of electricity would need
mirrors covering about 14 acres. -

Jn some parts of the world where there
is no ail and little transport but plenty of
sunshine, one type of. solar engine is
already competitive. A French concern,

Sofretes, has made a success of one that -

powers small pumps and electric plants.
. Its president, Jan-Plerre ‘ Girardler,
said he has had little competition so far
but that American, West German and
Japanese companies are beginning to get
interested i

Sofretes has more than 60 sclar pumps

operating in Africa, Mexico, Tran and the
Philippines. One, in Mexico, generates 30
kilowatts from collecting opiates that
cover about half the area of a football
field. .
Sofretes’s engines collect the sun’s rays
not from reflecting mirrors, but from
simpler blackened metal plates. Without
having to revolve with the sun they can
concentrate enough heat to vaporize an
easily obtainable fluid like butane and run
an engine much as steam does.
Girardier is turning his attention to
bigger plants. One, planned for the town
of Dire in northern Mali, will pump 400,000

_ to 480,000 gallons of water a day to irrigate

360 to 400 acres, plus about 160,000 gallons
for use in the town. In addition, it will
maintain a cold-storage room and provide.
electricity for a small tourist hotel.
Most of Europe has cloudier weather
than is suitable for solar heating devices,
go making them is mainly an export in-

try.
For Europe, the greatest promise lies in
photoelectric cells like these used to make:
power for space satellites. These can turn

. Sunlight directly into electrical energy,

even in overcast’ weather.
_ The problem is price, Cells to produce
one kilowatt of electricity- enough to:run

10 100,000 watt light bulbs - cost $15,000 to

make. That is all right for space; ex-
ploration, but it won't do for housewives

- or industry.

If the cost can be reduced to about $300,
as U.S. experts have said they hope to do
by 1966, this kind of electric power wil!
become a paying proposition.

Manufacturing Lid. makes
10,000 flags a week and
recently made what may be

the largest Canadian flag.

Eight. seamstresses

worked two days to produce
the 25 by 50 foot flag. Itis in
Ottawa somewhere, all 1,250
square feet, 30 pounds and
$1,500 to $2,000 of it. -
.. “We are quite confident
it will fly and” fly
beautifully,” said Robert -
Dickson, who founded ‘the
company 30 years agoin this
community of 2,000, 15 miles
northeast of Guelph.

A last-minute bout of pre-
Dominion Day flag-waving
had the company busy
making three Canadian
flags, each 20 by 40 feet,
which were to hang.on the
walls of the Museum of Man
and the Museum of Natural _
Science in Ottawa. -

But Dickson said mest.
flags the 30 odd seam-
stresses in the crowded two-
storey building make each
week are considerably
smaller. So

Canada has incredsingly
become a. nation of fla
wavers’ since the Secon
World War, he said, but 1965
was a year to remember for
flag makers, That was the
year the Union Jack and the
Red Enalgn ere retired
and Canada got a new flag.

It was good for business,
Dickson said, . but“ “there
was a lot of hard feeling.”

Last year was also.-a
banner year for Kennedy's -
due to the Montreal

ympics, 2 company
was busy ‘making flags and
banners for countries a
over the world.
45 to 50 percentiof his flag
production involves the
maple leaf, but a healthy
Tun on Quebec flags seems
to be indirectly attributable
to the’Parti Quebecois,
Dickson said. ote
He mainly buys pre-
printed flags on continuous
rolls of nylon but other flags,
such as the big. Canadian:
ones, are made by cutting.
out the individual com-
ponents and sewing them —
together. “
