Activities to be reviewed at meeting
Local group helps to winterize homes
By DIANE LUBER Staff Reporter
The rooms are cluttered but comfortable. Five shoulder-high file cabinets line one wall. One room is filled with shelves that are crowded with books. Newsletters, pamphlets and notices have overflowed their display racks and spread to the walls.
A young man hunches over one of the two desks that are free from the disarray that characterizes the rest of the office. The desks are used for work.
The Appropriate Technology Resource Center, 1101 $^1$ Massachusetts St., is quiet now because, as Lynn Goodell, director of Community Development for Lawrence, said yesterday, "They get out to the public."
BUT TONIGHT THE center will come alive when its members hold their annual meeting to review their activities during this month and the year to come.
The center's members have been an integral part of Project SEAL, an acronym for Save Energy Around
Lawrence. With federal funds, some distributed by the city through the Community Development Block Grant Program, they have been providing free kits, to help one resident who meet Community Development guidelines.
They have also been offering free weatherization workshops and information packets to the public since the fall of 1981.

Sue Beers, coordinator for the Council on Community Services, said, "I think they're doing a sensational job. They're experts on how to weatherize a home cheaply.
have chaptey.
"IVE TOLD PEOPLE that even if they're not eligible for the kits, they should go to the workshops."
The Council on Community Services is a co-sponsor of Project SEAL. Beers said the council would send home notes and a reminder to the student next week to explain the project.
next week we apologize.
"The reason we feel so strongly about this and think it's such a good program is it's preventive." Beers said.
Carl Thor, treasurer for the technology resource center, said it had conducted about eight workshops last
winter and 10 this winter. Ten more are scheduled through February.
"about 140 kits have been given out." Thor said. "We have about twice as many people at workshops than are eligible for the kits."
Ken Lassman, another member of the center, said that about 400 kits would be given out by the end of this season.
GOODELL SAID. "They've been very professional. I'm very pleased with them."
City Commissioner Don Binns said, "I get lots of positive feedback. They're earnest, dedicated and sincere."
Neva Blair, a Lawrence resident who attended one of the weatherization workshops, said, "Older people can't always do things for themselves that young people can. They've been a big bep to the community."
help of the community.
In 1980 members of the center installed a passive, vertical, solar collector on her house as part of a Neighborhood Solar Project financed by Community Development.
The center has been the functional headquarters for the Kaw Area Watershed Council, Lassman said.
"A WATERSHED IS defined as an area drained by a river." Lassman said. "In KAW Council, we try to look at the natural, instead of the political, characteristics of the land. We try to fit humans into the natural setting instead of adjusting our natural surroundings to suit humans."
Lassman said the KAW Council met for the first time last May and drew up resolutions "translating ecological law into human law."
The center's library often is overlooked. Lassman said. It subscribes to more than 50 periodicals and has more than 1,500 books on solar energy and other sources of renewable energy, conservation, recycling, organic gardening, agriculture and holistic health.
The file cabinets are full of articles and pamphlets on those topics too, he said.
"Technology influences the structure of society and the quality of people's lives," Lassman said. "Appropriate technologies are those that work with the local conditions and needs to enhance self-reliance, diversity and sustainability."

RICHARD UPTON, president of the Wichita Chamber of Commerce, said yesterday that he was confident the end of the Titan II missiles wouldn't disintegrate Wichita's economy. In fact, he predicts future and still unannounced Air Force expansion at McConnell will more
"Our role at the chamber has been to make sure the community is serving the base so when the Defense Department makes their decision they'll see the base is suitable for expanded or new bases," said President Bush, president for public and military affairs at the chamber, yesterday.
business and civic leaders have been trying to impress upon the Air Force that the community is willing to do just about anything it can retain jobs at McConnell, considered to be the fifth largest industry in the world.
Although the Titan II missile project won't be mothballed until the middle or late 1980s, Wichita business leaders are doing their homework now to convince the Air Force to create or mission creations at McConnell
New bomber or tanker wings are two future missions that have been mentioned to the Air Force to retain jobs, Furrows said. And even though the Air Force isn't saying what it has planned for McConnell, Chamber of Commerce meetings with the military both locally and in Washington, D.C. have been well received, he said.

Wichita officials want Air Force to retain jobs
The Titan II missile project pumps millions of dollars into the Wichita economy. Consequently, the officials said, plans to dismantle the Titan II missiles in favor of the Reagan administration's MX system have community support from the Air Force and Defense Department wondering what will happen to the hundreds who may be unemployed.
