It could be, and the Moulder Corporation of Greenwood could be one of the pioneers in making solar energy a household word. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded the Greenwood firm which is developing the Whispering Trails subdivision, a grant which will finance the adaptation of a solar-equipped residence.

According to J. Stephen Moulder, president of the Moulder Corporation, "Construction of the home will begin immediately. The home should be completed within 90 days thus allowing time this winter to evaluate the effects of solar heating." Moulder noted that the home will not be sold immediately to allow the public to visit and inspect the facilities. Toe structure Part of a total $4 million grant which will help in the installation of solar equipment for 102 homes throughout the nation, the grants were awarded by virtue of several criteria, including the type of solar system to be used, the status of the housing project and the eventual usefulness of the home as a demonstration model. Moulder noted that the home, when it is sold, will be "comparable with other homes in the neighborhood, around $50,000 in value." Four persons were injured, one seriously, when a car and an Illinois Central Gulf Railroad train were involved in a collision shortly before 10 p.m.

Tuesday on State Road 144 in Bargersville. Most seriously injured of the four occupants of the car was Mrs. Priscilla J. Buck. 52, Morgantown route three.

The other occupants of Mrs. Buck's 1974 Chevrolet Vega were her two daughters Moulder added that even uiough the home will have the $11,000 special solar equipment, "when we sell it, we won't raise the price because of the solar heating. That is one of the federal stipulations." A ranch-style home, which will face north on Echo Circle, will have a steep sloping south roof with approximately 22 solar panels. The south roof will be made of sheet aluminum to aid in reflecting the solar rays into the large glass and metal panels. The solar panels will be able to provide energy for both heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer.

Moulder estimated that "about 80 per cent of the heating needs will be taken care of by the system." Moulder explained that the home will use the air type of solar heating rather than liquid. Air circulated through the box-like panels will be heated by the sunlight. The air will circulate through the home. He noted that when the heat is not needed it will be stored by heating rocks "much like a sauna." The home will have a supplemental heating system which Moulder hopes "won't be necessary too often." Admitting that he's excited about the prospects of the project, Moulder pointed out, "This is the beginning of a new era of home construction and we're really thrilled to be the first in central Indiana to undertake such a project." they termed an impending water rate increase. Board member Charles Wincel cited the problems with mosquitoes, rats and maintenance of the swale in its current condition, and joined other members of the board in emphasizing a need for park land.

"If we lose the $250,000 (the reimbursement funds), it's your fault entirely, not the board's," Town board member Jack Weber told Mrs. Shaw. "I'm not gonna be held responsible," responded Mrs. Shaw. "I'm trying to save you some money," she added, in the event a ruling is made that reimbursement funds cannot be used for the swale project.

"I want it in the minutes that I advised you to get it clarified," stated town board attorney G. Thomas Blankenship. The board agreed to follow his advice.

(UPI) A commuter ferry carrying more than 80 oil and chemical plant employes to work collided with a tanker in predawn darkness today, capsized and sank in the Mississippi River.

Sixteen bodies were recovered, but at least 50 more were missing and presumed dead, authorities said. Another 18 persons were rescued from the frigid waters. Four of the bodies were recovered floating in the river minutes after the collision. Divers found other victims trapped in the submerged cabin of the ferry boat.

The two candidates swapped harsh words Tuesday while Ford tended to White House matters and Carter campaigned along the Eastern Seaboard, from Miami to Winston-Salem, N.C., to New York City. Ford told a delegation of Amvet leaders that Carter would "cut billions and billions" from defense spending and this would send America into global diplomacy "with one hand tied behind her back." If this happened, Ford said, America "will return on her knees, not her feet." Ford said America cannot afford to cut military forces by billions in order to "pay for a galaxy of new social programs." Carter, addressing voters in Miami Beach, denounced what he described as Ford's tolerance of the Arab boycott of U.S. firms that trade with Israel. "This is a horrible travesty, a disgrace on our country," Carter said. "We need to get President Ford out of the White House." "We'll do away with the Arab boycott," Carter promised.

Carter told the American Public Health Association in Miami Beach that he backs a health insurance program that would pay the medical expenses of every American but only when the government can afford it. Carter said his insurance program would be phased in "as rapidly as revenues permit." He said coverage of catastrophic health bills and prenatal and infant care would come first. Outlining his health care philosophy, Carter said: "The basic need is to care about people and prevent disease and injury before it happens. Prevention is both cheaper and better than hospital care." j-f 1 a iisw iir ii -s. Action on a proposed swale project in New Whiteland was delayed Tuesday at a meeting marked by conflict between the clerk-treasurer and the town board.

Plans for the swale project were initiated about one year ago, during discussions of how to use an estimated which New Whiteland had received from the Environmental Protection Agency as a 90 per cent reimbursement for a federally-mandated sewer project. The town board has drawn up plans to fill in the swale, an open ditch which runs from the town park. When completed, plans call for a long park containing bicycle and jogging paths, tennis courts, children's recreational equipment and a gazebo. Town board members estimated the project would cost about $70,000, if current arrangements with a pipe supplier and the Corps of Engineers can be put into effect. New Whiteland Clerk-Treasurer Pat Shaw questioned the legality of using the reimbursement money for the swale project, and said there were indications from the EPA that the funds could only be used -for projects relating to the Sanitation Department.

Following a heated discussion, Mrs. Shaw told the board she would not issue checks for the project until she received written approval from the EPA.
