(AP) Commenting on his defeat for a short-term as assemblyman In the state legislature, the veteran Moore, 47, wasn't announcing he would run again, but was re marking on the victory of his op ponent, George Lapthome, 70, real estate man. It was his first time," said Moore. "I am glad he will have the honor of holding this office." Here's A Fast Method Boosting Plug Power Two Presidents of the United pugilist Archie Moore, said: political victory alter numerousisiaics - ineoaore ivooseven aim -Good thine come to those who tries.

It's almost an accepted fact that no house has enough electri cal outlets, and those it has are in the wrong places. This has given rise to the trail ing extension cord, the octupus- like, three-way cube tap. and a generally confused and unsafe sit uation. The only alternative for the homeowner was to knock holes in the wall and install additional outlets. Plug Power But in the last few years sev eral manufacturers have come up with lyjies of surface - mounted strip outlets. The strip contains two wires in a plastic channel. It can be mounted on the wall along the baseboard, on the floor or along a counler top. Outlets can be installed almost anvwhere along its length. One thing it docs not do is to increase the amount ot power available. Such a strip connect ed to a 15-amn circuit can still carry no more than 15 amps, no matter how many outlets you add. So resist the temptation. Don't install more outlets than a cir cuit can handle. Plug-in strips vary widely. There is one that is nothing more than a plastic strip with a cord :ind plug which is plugged into an existing outlet. The strip can han dle about three items, is fastened down with two screws. Up Stairs, Too Others are more versatile, can be run around a room in an un broken line, can turn corners and go up stairs. One type consists of two wires in a plastic jacket and surlace mounted outlets. Whenever an out let is desired, the strip is cut, the wires exposed and the outlet snapied on. A plug can be snaped on at one end and plugged into an outlet. Versatility Another style is more elalwrate but also more versatile. Wires arc contained on opxsite edges of Uie strip, remain covered at all limes. Outlets can be added any where, changed anytime by twist ing into place in the tracks that cover the wires. The system comes with social outlets, elbows, tecs and end caps. A social adapter takes the place- of your present outlet. Wires in the adapter are con nected to house wires. With an elbow or tee plugged into t h e adapter the strip can run in one or both directions. The strip is flexible enough to turn corners. But if you wish to change directions, you must use an elbow. Caps are used to cover the .ends of the strips. Watch Out One word of caution. Remove j the line fuse when installing any of these surface lines. You may I forget and cut the strip while 'it's hot. The strips arc held down with screws, generally have holes pro vided for them at regular inter vals. Surface outlets are particularly welcome along the work area in the kitchen for toaster, mixer and blender. In the bedroom you might run one back of your bed for reading lamp and outlets for clock and radio. IX'CKMAN'S BOY PI.AYS SYRACUSE, N.Y.
