Out On Heater Unit Peril

RICHMOND, VA. - The manufacturer of "Unltrol” fuel control mechanisms used on certain liquid propane gas water heaters is renewing its efforts to publicize and correct a potential defect which may ■cause severe bum injuries and deaths resulting from explosion and fires. Since 1964, when the fuel controls first were sold to hot water heater manufacturers, there have been at least 48 deaths and 89 severe bum injuries from explosions of water heaters equipped with these gas controls. THE PROGRAM to replace the old gas controls with new ones is being conducted by Roberts haw

Controls Co. The manufacturer also is reissuing a national alert to warn consumers of the risk posed by continued use of water heaters equipped with the controls. The warning covers the “Unitrol” model 110 and model 200 gas controls used to regulate the flow of LP (liquid propane) gas to water heaters. These controls, manufactured by Robertshaw’s Grayson Controls Division of Long Beach, Ca., about 25 years ago, contain a potentially defective valve which can cause a gas leak and subsequent explosion and fire. APPROXIMATELY 1,000 of the potentially

School Officials Ready Opposition to Aid Cuts

County school officials are urging state legislators to take their constitutional obligations seriously and reject Gov. Brenden Byrne’s plans to ax some $100 million in state aid to public schools from the next fiscal budget. Under the governor’s proposal, ll Cape May County school districts are destined to lose'$1,326,766 in minimum aid during the next school year. This figure accounts for approximately 2 per cent of the total proposed statewide cut. ACCORDING TO Lower Tbwnship school superintendent Ed Campbell, a public hearing concerning the minimum aid cuts will be held before the state legislature's Joint Appropriations Committee on Feb. 24. A county representative will be in attendance to present a written draft and voice local opposition to the severe cutback proposal. A local resolution requesting the legislature to reject the concept of reduced state aid to public schools has been created through the joint efforts of representatives from the school administrators and school business officials organization. Approval of the document is being

sought by the county's local school boards, jchool administrators, teachers and PTA members. THE RESOLUTION states that the Byrne administration’s -proposed cuts will increase the acceleration of placing for' school upon the local property owner in defiance of the state Supreme Court’s 1976 ruling on school funding and property taxes.” It also emphasizes that despite Cape May County's lucrative position as a summer resort, the county is not wealthy in terms of per capita income. A great number of county residents are senior citizen homeowners on fixed incomes and the county's present rate of unemployment is 22 per cent. JERSEY CAPE school districts to be affected and ? tate aid allowances to be ost if the cuts are approved include (figures rounded off): Lower Cape May Regional $358,300. County Vo-Tech $283,300. Ocean City $221,200. Wildwood $116,300, Crest $94,000. Upper Twp. $94,000. N. Wildwood $60,500. Cape May $42,300. Sea isle City $35,900. W Cape Mav $11,700. W. Wildwood $9,400

defective controls still are believed to be in use nationwide. Many of these controls may be found on water heaters located in rural areas, such as in homes, on farms, in vacation or weekend homes, or in hunting or fisiting camps. Consumers can identify the affected units, sold from December, 1954, to February, 1957, by looking for “Unitrol 110" on the face of the control, or for “Unitrol 200” on the .temperature dial on the front of the control, located near the bottom of the heater. Date codes are stamped next to the gas pilot outlet on the bottom side of the control and to the right. Use of a small mirror will aid corfeumers in reading the date code more easily. Consumers who own LP gas water heaters should check the heater control to determine if a Unitrol model HOor 200 with a dae code mentioned above has been used. If so, consumers then should contact Robertshaw at its toU-fr^e number *800-421-1130. Following a free inspection, the firm will install new controls if appropriate.

Funding Hit By Chinnici

TRENTON-If the state cannot pay slate aid to school districts for proper education, bow can it afford $10 to $12 million for gubernatorial financing?" Assemblyman Joseph M. Chinnici (R. 1st Dist.) rais-
