“All the research in the federal

energy research.
Teague said that President Carter
hasn’t emphasized development of
alternate fuel resources. He said
solar energy and the use of coal
could be developed more
thoroughly.
“Carter should point to conserva
tion,” Teague said. Teague hopes
conservation will not have to be
forced, although he says that most
people don’t believe there is a seri
ous energy crisis.
Teague said he was for deregula
tion of gas, and that Texas pays
more for natural gas than other
states do.
The state representative also said
he opposes Carter’s stand against
nuclear power proliferation. He said
he is for plutonium use on a limited
scale.
Teague said Carter should ask
Congress for advice, and that all
means of alternate fuel power
should be considered.

Before Sound Guard,
the only way to prevent
your records from weanng out
was not to playthem.
With same magnification, record vinyl shows no wear.
If you’ve played any
record often enough, you’ve
heard the inevitable occur.
It wore out.
While “pops;’ “hisses;’
and other surface noises
began making their appear
ance on your favorite
records, high frequency
sounds—like violins and
flutes—began disappearing.
The villain behind this
destruction is friction. (If a
diamond cuts through steel,
you can imagine what a
diamond stylus does to vinyl
records.) Fortunately, from
outer space has come a solu
tion to record degradation.
It’s called Sound Guard?
A by-product of re
search into dry lubricants
for aerospace applications,
Sound Guard record
preservative puts a micro-
scopically-thin (less than
0.000003") dry film on
records to protect the
grooves from damage. Yet,
remarkably, it does not
degrade fidelity.
Independent tests
show that Sound Guard pre
servative maintains full
amplitude at all
audible frequencies,
while at the same
time significantly retarding
increases in surface noise
and harmonic distortion?*
In other words, when
applied according to in
structions, a new record
treated with Sound Guard
preservative and played
100 times sounds the same
as one in “mint” condition
played the first time!
Sound Guard preserva
tive comes in a kit (complete
with non-aerosol pump
sprayer and velvet buffing
pad). It is completely safe
and effective for all discs,
from precious old 78’s
to the newest LP’s including
CD-4’s.
Recently introduced
to audiophiles, Sound Guard
preservative is now avail
able in audio and record
outlets.
