Another Federal Energy Administration official, S. William Gouse, reviewed the fossil energy program and estimated that the $G00 million now in study grants will be nearly doubled in the near future. Lieutenant Governor Ernest P. Kline reviewed the work of the Governor's Energy Council but reminded those present that "No matter how strong a state policy is, there is just so much a government entity can do." "We call on you to help us," he added.

James M. Kelly, acting chairman of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, called for a full-scale investigation of overcharges by petroleum suppliers to electric utilities in order to restore confidence in the fuel adjustment clause. He cited the additional cost of $500 million for fuel cost to Pennsylvania's utilities in 1974, as compared to 1973. These two were among 10 from Washington and Pennsylvania who spoke during the fourth Power conference sponsored by the Pennsylvania State University in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Electric Association. Dr.

Charles L. Hosier, dean of Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, was critical of the new breed of environmentalists, many of whom he said were in earlier demonstrations for other causes. "A working man's environment is a warm house and he has the right to that the same as anyone else," Hosier said. "When the ship is sinking, we don't have time to discuss the paint or call a conference to see who is at fault," Hosier added. Hosier did feel the problem was solvable and felt the coal reserves of Pennsylvania would play a big part.

Represented in the sessions that ended Wednesday afternoon were more than 200 state officials, business and labor leaders, public utility officials, educators and newsmen from throughout Pennsylvania. Harry Boyer, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, summed up the tone of the sessions when he stated "Time is not on our side." A high-ranking Federal Energy Administration spokesman, Donald B. Cravens, said the problem "will get worse before it gets better." Cravens was critical of Congress' failure to enact President Ford's energy bill and called the American consumer "greedy" in the use of electricity. Carlisle's By LESLIE TROUT Staff Writer Good Will It's in the name.

And members of the Good Will Fire Company are living up to their name, watching the "good will" spread in a revitalized program of public service. "Our company as a whole has really become very active in the past several years," said company vice president and assistant foreman Kenneth Baughman. There is a growing program for junior firemen, an expanding rural service, two new pieces of equipment to be put into service this summer, a paid off mortgage on the eight-year-old firehouse and a ladies auxiliary that has tripled in membership in the past four years. Founded in 1855, the Good Will Fire Company was originally located on East Pomfret Street. The present firehouse is located at 102 West Ridge St.

"Everything on this side and including South Street is in our first call area," Baughman said. Also included in the first call area, Baughman said, is an area on Route 81. The rural service includes the area covered by the Mount Holly Springs Fire Company. "We want to expand our rural service. For one thing, some companies have been forced to spread themselves too thin over an area," Baughman said.

Good Will is one of three borough companies that has a rural service. It started about five years ago, when the company purchased a 1941 Buffalo Pathfinder pumper from the volunteer fire company in Elizabethtown. Still in service the Buffalo has won a number of awards, including a first place in Hummelstown for best appearing apparatus in its class. The Buffalo has also won a number of pumping contest prizes. It carries 300 gallons of water and 2,000 feet of two and a half inch hose, 500 feet of one and a half inch hose and 200 feet of booster hose.

The Buffalo features air packs, fire extinguishers and a portable pump. Baughman said this original rural pumper will be replaced in June or July by a pumper purchased recently from Mount Airy, Md. The new pumper is a 1955 Mack with a 750 gpm pump and a 500 gallon booster tank. Also to be put into service this summer is a 1962 International tanker, recently purchased from Biglerville. The tanker carries 1,800 gallons.

When its capacity is added to that of the new pumper, it gives the company a ready supply of 2,300 gallons of water. The borough-owned piece of equipment owned by the company is a 1963 Mack. It's Township Protests Hearing Procedure sources that can be tapped, he said. Cumberland County native Bette Clemens, now Director of Consumer Affairs of the national Council of Better Business Bureaus, urged the utility officials to communicate better with their employes and their public to ensure a better understanding. She said the national debate on energy "has generated far more heat than light, more contradiction than cohesiveness" and with "no meeting ground for reasonable minds." The vice president of the National Economic Research Associates, Dr.

Joe D. Pace, reviewed proposals under study for fuel stamps, special basic need rates, and peak-load pricing to assist the poor and elderly. "A well-administered fuel stamp program could effectively supplement the real incomes of the poor and the elderly without significantly distorting their roiling Fust Lives Up to Mr AMID A MYRIAD OF GAUGES will driver Edmund Houser demonstrates his job Baughman said the junior firemen "help out in all our activities." They can even serve on the scene of a fire by loading hose and laying hose. The activities are limited to reasons of safety, however, Baughman said. The current firehouse, which includes an apartment for professional driver E.

A. Houser, was built in 1966 at a cost of $50,000. The firemen plan to burn the mortgage at the annual banquet next year. Baughman said the fact that the 30-year mortgage was paid off early testifies to the renewed interest of company members. Officers of the organization are, in addition to Baughman: Company chief and borough foreman, Richard Mumper; president, Cecil J.

Zeigler; secretary, Albert Houck; assistant secretary, Thomas Houck; general treasurer, Ralph Watts; social treasurer, Harry B.

The company has two relief drivers, Harry Barnes and Baughman.

A driver is on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Baughman said. This year the company plans to hold its second annual pumping contest. Iast year ten companies were represented in the July event. Ths summer, Baughman said the auxiliary will form a pumping team for the first time.

By KA THY LIEBLER Staff Writer MECHANICSBURG -After waiting nearly two years for a public hearing regarding renewal of Pennsy Supply's Silver Spring quarry permit, township residents may not have as easy an opportunity to express themselves as expected.

Board chairman Raymond Best stated, "It is inconceivable an agency of our State Government would require five copies of a written statement, two days ahead of time for a public hearing, where members of the public are supposed to have the chance to express their comments freely." Expressing his concern and puzzlement, Best said, "Our township has had several public hearings in the past and they have always been conducted orderly. I cannot see what problems DER is concerned with." Best asked the board for a resolution that would authorize him as chairman to communicate with DER Secretary Maurice Goddard.
