For [SEW members UghUng thc holidays for their communities means many things. For some members it means volunteeJing their time for projects like wiring children's centers, children's shelters or houses for the homeless. For others it means stiinging fesUve Ughts whi h bring Ule holiday spirit out in everyone. For all it means giving something to help others.

The Blount County Children's Center in Oneonta, Alabama, sUII

had knob-and-tube wiring when Local 136, Birmingham, members volunteered their time to rewire the building. The center is the frrsl place many area children are sent if they are suspected to be the victims of child abuse at home.

Local 136 Financial Secretary Don Sanders, involved in the rewiring project, said more than a dozen 136 members- including Business Manager Gary Reaves and President Kenny Essig

worked to install new plugs, new outdoor lighting, run a new service meter base and breaker box, and wire new circuits . He said,

The Need For Commitment To Energy Independence

Again. \VC have ,cen the average price of foreign crude oil double, wi th prediction~ of even-higher CO~b. especiaU with winter upon U~. During a nonnal winter dem,md for crude oil rises by two million barrel per day. Higher oil prices ;:trl: gomg to impa I !ltfongly upon our alreadY·~I:.'ggcring import bill. Also. it ha, been e,timated lhat every 1.00 increase in the price of crude decrea,es U.S. purchas ing power by approximately . 10 billion.

Iraq and Kuwait control al mosl 20 percent of the worl d":-. proven rese rves of oil. If their crude were to remai n off the market for long. the ensuing incrcusc in the price of oil CQuld dcva~I\\tc many economies. including tho,. of the United States and ;:mada ,

IBEW Welcomes Romanian Trade Unionists

D umi lru luga, an e lectronic technician wi th Romanian Televi

sion, traveled to Washi ngton, D.C., in late August and visi ted one of the production houses employi ng IBEW members. International Represenlative Richard Stromberg then acted as his host on a rour of the International Office. where Brotherluga met wi th International Secretary Jack Moore.

Brother luga was freed from prison in December 1989. where he had served six years of a sentence for establishing an organization whose aim was the ovenhrow of the Ceallsescu regime by nonviolent mean. La I January he founded the Free Union of Radio and Tele ision Workers wi th 1.800 members Qui of a to tal of 1,900 employees. These members come from all areas of radio and TV work: drivers. technician. e.di lor. artislic directors, cameramen, eiC. Two of their chief goals are the democralizaiion of the medi a and truth in the media.

intense pressure. 1lle union's demands have been turned down contanLly by the government. which i
