"The thing that's pleasing is that this is the first solar-energy training program in a corrections institution in the country," said Edmund Gubbins, superintendent of the correctional school district. The program, which began a year ago with funding from the federal Energy Department, is designed to teach inmates at the Connecticut Correctional Institution at Somers skills which will make them employable when they are released. The instructors say the solar-energy program, which combines solar-energy technology with skills relating to air conditioning and refrigeration, also builds confidence and pride in the inmates. 1 '$ only ^ Y?u ^an IpiSllllS ht Buffet^] A,so ?unch/ HE Dinner, Carryout S-T0rttt> CHINESE RESTAURANT I > Knox Abbott Dr - Cayce 796-7136 gf JWi I Outlet "Wi IH 4 Jlean Sal? rjK HI Dr Fashions at i/\ < HHJ ffday's Prices , 1 \ Bjjllll Suntpriced"""""""J | j J\ A e.g. $36.
