BY DANIEL M. AXELROD Knergy is vital to survival as we know it.

New Jersey consumes 1 percent of total world annual energy use. The purpose of this brief article is to summarize the world energy supply possibilities for New Jersey in the year 2000, just one generation from now. This is needed to provide an intelligent perspective for our actions now. To discuss energy supply I will use a "unit" of one trillion A British thermal unit, or Btu, is the heat needed to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit In 1970, New Jersey used 2,000 "units" of energy, roughly equivalent to one million barrels (or 42 million gallons) of oil per day. The 2,000 units were derived as follows: out-of-state oil imports out-of-state gas imports 600; out-of-state coal imports 50; nuclear fission fuels 50.

Current annual consumption is about 15 percent greater, with nuclear fission showing the largest increase as the Salem, N.J., and Peach Bottom, nuclear plants add their contribution to the Oyster Creek, N.J., plant which was operating in 1970. The out-of-state oil comes from U.S. sources such as Texas, Louisiana and the (Julf of Mexico; from Venezuela, which is providing heavy oil for electric utility boilers; and from Middle East and Nigerian sources. U.S. oil production peaked in 1970.

World oil production capability is expected to peak in the late 1980s, unless it is held to close to current levels in the early 1980s as a conservation measure. The 1973 Arab oil embargo and the 1979 oil shortfalls are early warning signs of the far more serious shortfalls of oil supply relative to increased worldwide demand to be expected in the year 2000. The out-of-state gas comes from U.S. sources, principally by pipeline from Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. U.S.

natural gas production peaked in 1973. Some companies propose liquefying natural gas in Algeria and importing the LNG by tanker as a supplementary gas source. The oil and gas companies have paid more than $1 billion to the U.S. government for leases, and have spent several hundred million dollars to explore for oil and gas in the Atlantic Ocean, about 100 miles east of Atlantic City. So far they have drilled a dozen "dry" holes, and three wells with natural gas in insufficient quantity to justify a recovery program and pipeline to the New Jersey mainland.

Coal is currently used to generate electricity for New Jersey at plants within the state and in Pennsylvania near the coal mines. Further coal- burning plants in New Jersey are currently limited by environmental regulations. Research and development have been under way for some time to convert coal to synthetic gas and to synthetic oil but U.S. demonstration plants will not be in operation until the mid-1980s, and commercial plants are not expected to be on line until the 1990s. Because of the ample supply of U.S.

coal, and because synthetic fuel plants recover 60-70 percent of usable energy from coal (compared with only 40 percent in electric generation), coal- (and oil shale) based synfuels will be significant replacements for oil and gas by the year 2000, and major sources of energy in the 21st century. New Jersey will import these synfuels from out-of-state plants located near the coal and oil shale deposits. Eighteen nuclear fission plants could provide more than 1,000 units of energy. Four plants now provide electricity for New Jersey, and four more are under construction in New Jersey. Nationwide, more than 60 plants are now in operation, and about 150 are under construction or on order.

New methods of using surplus heat from nuclear plants for aquaculture, agriculture, space heat or low- temperature process heat are essential if the full benefits of this energy source are to be realized. One and one-half million solar homes in New Jersey could provide about 100 units of energy. There would be 500,000 new solar heated homes; 250,000 old homes retrofitted for solar heating; 330,000 new solar hot water heaters, and more than 400,000 old homes retrofitted for solar hot water. Since there are less than 1,000 solar homes now in New Jersey (mostly hot-water units), the 1-Vi million homes implies a massive reorientation of the New Jersey home-building and home improvement industry, and a very widespread homeowner acceptance of $5,000 $10,000 solar heat and $1,000 $2,000 solar hot-water capital costs. Some additional energy could come from burning of solid waste and from converting trees to alcohol for gasahol.

The former option requires extensive effort to deliver solid waste to using plants. The latter could require one-third of the state of New Jersey land area to get the energy equivalent to the heat of one nuclear plant. In summary, here is a possible simplified New Jersey energy box score, with numbers in trillion Energy Source Gas: NJ Atlantic of state of state of state Nuclear fission Solar homes Solid waste trees Subt. fossil fuels Subt. non-foss.

The alloy can be fabricated using high-speed production techniques, and could help hold down the cost of telephone equipment and other products. Low-Cobalt Magnetic Alloys Developed At Bell Labs BY SANDY STUART WARREN The Township Committee by a 3-0 vote, with Committeemen Jack Einhorn and William Apgar absent, last Thursday night approved a salary range ordinance and accompanying resolution which grants a 6.25 percent pay increase to those township employees represented by a union, and slightly higher increases to most who are not. Getting the largest increase was Morrison Shuster, whose salary for the position of acting township administrator rose by 14.3 percent, from $6,000 However, this was offset slightly by his salary as tax collector, which went up only 3.1 percent, from 10,650 to for a total 8.7 percent increase. The next highest increases went to Township Clerk Doris Lortie and Assistant Engineer John Lutsky, whose salaries both rose by 7.3 percen'.

Lortie's pay went from $14,000 to $15,100, and Lutsky's pay went from nnn Also receiving a 7.3 percent pay increase was Public Works Superintendent Ewald Friedrich, who was one of two township employees not granted a pay increase last year. His salary rose from $21,508 to $23,200. The other township employee who didn't get a pay raise last year was Police Chief Leonard Visotsky, who was granted only a 6.25 percent increase this year, from $24,101 to $25,700. Other non-union employees receiving raises of more than 6.25 percent were Municipal Court and Violations Clerk Frances DiFazio, whose salary rose by 6.9 percent, from $10,243 to Police Chief's Secretary Alfheld Fletcher, whose salary rose by 6.9 percent, from $10,243 to and Board of Adjustment Clerk Rosalie Ginda, whose pay rose by 6.5 percent, from $2,500 to $2,675. Among those non-union employees whose salary increases were below 6.25 percent were Planning Board Clerk Agnes Wimmer, whose pay rose by 6 percent, from $10,243 to and Tax Assessor Pearl Kerwin, whose salary rose by 6.1 percent, from $15,000 to $15,975.

The AFL-CIO represented employees, who will be getting 6.25 percent pay raises, include all secretarial and clerical workers in town hall, the receptionist-switchboard operator, assistant purchasing agent, police dispatchers, records clerk and junior engineers. Also represented by the union are all public works and road department employees. After more than six months of salary negotiations, the committee earlier this month signed a contract with Council 73 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, giving the union-represented employees a 13.25 percent salary increase over a two- year period. Contests Highlight Week New metal alloys that will substantially reduce the need for expensive cobalt in a wide variety nf commercial and industrial hitzh-strength peimanent magnets have been developed at Bell Laboratories in Murray Mill. NJ.

The alloys, known as Chromindur III and IV. use only a third to a half the amount of cobalt required by presenl permanent magnet alloys such as the Alnico and Vicalloy families, yet meet or exceed their rrwiLinetic Strength properties These new alloys, developed by Meyersville resident Sungho Jin of Bell Labs metallurgical engineering department, require only 5 to 12 percent cobalt The remaining composition is chromium and iron, possibly with small amounts of other elements. Cobalt is the element most widely used to enhance the permanent magnet properties of iron, but because of supply problems in Zaire, source of two-thirds of the world's production, the metal is expensive and on limited allocation. The ductile, low-cobalt magnet alloys can be readily substituted for other alloys without redesign of magnetic parts, and are designed for rapid, relatively low-cost production of magnets commonly used in such products as telephone apparatus, electric motors, stereo speakers, generators and automobile speedometers. These alloys are formed by a new "deformation-aging" technique which elongates the spherical alloy particles and aligns them to create a stronger structural and magnetic formation that requires less cobalt.

This eliminates the need for heat treatment in a magnetic field to obtain particle alignment, thereby simplifying and speeding the manufacturing process An unaligned, or isotropic. Chromindur alloy for telephone receiver use was announced by Bell Labs early in 1978. The deformation-aging technique should, in principle, apply to any ductile alloy structure composed of near- spherical ferromagnetic particles. Jin said. "It could lead to new per- manent magnet alloys that require no cobalt or other strategic elements," he added.

Western Electric is now investigating the alloys for use in the Bell System's telephone ringers, receivers and relays as part of an extensive Bell Labs Western Electric effort to help hold down the cost of telephone service. It is anticipated that the new alloys could save the Bell System more than 50,000 pounds of cobalt and several million dollars a year. Democrats Endorse Senior Citizen Hotline PASSAIC TWP. Township senior citizens will be eligible for seven days a week, 24 hours a day emergency hotline services under a plan supported this week by Democratic Township Committee candidates Edward Kmiecinski and Evelyn Mae Muklowney The program scheduled to start In mid-August, will be made available through Morris County Department of Aging According to Terry human, department assistant director, services such as shelter, clothing, and transportation for medical care or shopping will be offered. Shuman stressed the importance of the weekend and holiday feature of the plan.

He explained that it is very difficult for seniors to get help between Friday afternoon and Monday morning. The county would like the hotline to be coordinated through local police departments Kmiecinski urged the Township Committee to take immediate action on the plan so that senior citizens will be eligible for the services as soon as it begins next month. "This is a great opportunity for the township to bring a very important service to the senior citizens at practically no additional cost to local taxpayers," he said. Muldowney explained that the hotline would connect senior citizens with a private social service contractor. The township police department would receive calls for assistance and then contact the social service unit.

"This service has been needed for some time. Routing the calls through the police will avoid toll charges for the senior citizens and also prevent abuse of the service. "I hope the Township Committee takes immediate action on this," she concluded. Gillette The highlights at Gillette School Playground this past week included a bicycle decorating contest, bike races, a baby picture contest and a shooting checkers contest. The winners in the bicycle decorating contest were: Krista Simon in first place; Margie Henderson in second, and Helena Treiber in third.

All others who entered this contest received certificates. (Everybody was a winner!) Ricky Treiber was the fastest overall participant in the bike obstacle course with Michael Perez and Stephanie Post tying for first place in being the most accurate along with the fastest time. The results of the shooting checkers contest were: Diana Whalley placed first in the 10 and under age group and Peggy Mitchel in second; and in the II and up group Spencer Cline took first, with Louie Tranquilli taking second. Last Thursday everyone brought in their baby pictures and they were judged in five categories: cutest, Christopher Gelino; funniest, Chris Small; biggest mouth, Michael Perez; crankiest, Troy Cline; and biggest smile, Marisa Ruscitto. This week's theme is "Halloween in July" and the big events include a costume party with games and food on Thursday, a haunted house, a crazy hat contest, make a pet ghost and telling favorite ghost stories.

Central School Everyone rode a bike to Central School Playground last Thursday for the Bike Rodeo. Rich Plslusny came in first in the sprint race group 4 to 10 with Terri Aiossa second and Michelle Aiossa not far behind in third. "YUP, IF IT'S the farm manager you're looking for that's me," is the title nf this photo by Jean Yankaskas of Minington. Yankaskas won a Interest honorable mention award for animal expressions earlier this year in a New Jersey Agricultural Society photo contest. This and other award winning photos from among the Ml entries were on exhibit at the State House Rotunda In Trenton.

Steve Chwatek took first for the 10 and up group, Nickie Aiossa second, and Oldrich Masek third. Steve came in first again with the longest wheely. Oldrich placed second and Nickie third. Richie Plslusny demonstrated his control on his bike when he won the obstacle course in 27 seconds. Terri Aiossa was second and Mimi Gibbons third in the 4 to 10 group.

Steve Chwatek tied with Oldrich Masek for first place in the 10 and up group. Carl Schubauer came in a fast second and Jenny Kane pedaled her way to third place. There was a parade of color during the bike decorating contest. Oldrich Masek took first, Lee Ann Arsenault second and Cheryl Allen third. This week is Halloween in July and there will be a costume contest Wednesday along with a doll contest Thursday and a pet show Friday.

Meyersville At Meyersville this week there was a stuffed animal contest. Susan Seitel had the largest; Sonya Ahamed the smallest; the oldest was owned by Carl Gulbish; and Kathy Gulbish had the newest. Meyersville also had a bike rodeo. The children decorated Passaic Twp.
