Loom Tech
Brings 60s
To Radio A
Mike Campbell, a Lydia Loom Technician,
spends hours each month preparing and recording
a weekly 15-minute sermon which is
broadcast over Rarim VJPC.C.
Campbell and a few of his friends contribute
the $22 a week necessary for the weekly
broadcast. Although funds aren't plentiful,
contributions seem to come in to meet
the weekly needs.
"I used to be on about 7:45 a.m. on Sunday
morning, but a few months ago, I moved
to 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon. This seemed tc
increase our number of listeners."
Campbell, now age 34, is licensed tc
preach under the Faith, Hope, and Charity
ministeries as an evangelistic minister.

The young radio minister served as a former
associate partor of an interdenominational
church in Great Falls in
1980-81.
Much of Campbell's radio audience comes
from those wanting to hear salvation messages,
teachings of the Bible and the words
of Christ, and he directs his sermons to these
areas.
He pre records his weekly messages in his
, home after hours of study, research and preparation.
"My family is much help to me and with'
out their support, I couldn't conduct a radio
ministry program," explained Campbell.

Taxpayers claiming the residential energy
'tax credit should make certain that their
expenses quality for the credit, the Internal
Revenue Service says.
The IRS has noticed that some taxpayers
claim the residential energy tax credits for
materials and equipment which clearly do
not qualify for the credits. In addition, credits
have also been claimed by taxpayers
who received subsidized energy financing.
Subsidized energy financing is financing
under any federal, state, or local programs
that are supported by tax revenues. Tax exempt
bonds, used to provide funds under
such programs, are examples of subsidized
energy financing.
Energy tax credits are designed to encourage
energy saving and the development of
renewable energy sources, and are divided
into two types: the credit for enerev rnn?;pr
vation items added to homes substantially
completed before April 20, 1977; and the
credit for renewable energy sources, the IRS
says.
The credit for energy conservation is 15%
of the first $2,000 spent on items to save
energy, or a maximum credit of $300. The
credit for renewable energy source devices is
40% of the first $10,000 spent on solar,
geothermal. or windpowered equipment, or

Examples of qualifying energy conserva- ment
tion items are: insulation designed to reduce prodt
neat loss or heat gain in the home; storm or Ex

the house; caulking or weather stripping of be de
outside doors and windows; clock thermo- insul
stats or other automatic setback thermo- barrii
stats; furnace replacement burners; flu sidin

show the cost of energy use. clain
Examples of qualifying renewable energy IRSc
source items are; solar energy equipment for servii
heating or cooling the home or for providing the s
hot water or electricity for use in the home; credi
wind energy equipment for generating elec- ture <
tricity; geothermal energy equipment. heat
There has been much publicity by com- Otl
panies that sell energy saving devices, mate- woot
riais ana renewable energy source equip- scret
ment. Most of the taxpayers who invested in nace
the materials and equipment were encour- IR
aged to do so because of increased energy advai
costs, but also because of tax credit incen- dits,
tives. mate
The IRS has discovered some taxpayers Fo
who claimed on non qualifying items. The order
IRS believes this to be a misunderstanding Cred
by taxpayers of what qualifies for the credit. ordei
