A 15F79 survey of Iowa
farmers revealed that stress
was not intense enough for
most to impair their health
However, the unpredicta bles
in their work exaggerated
tendencies toward insomnia,
habitual smoking, heavy
drinking, irrita b ility and
restlessness, all of which in

also a gixxl idea to make

before leaving home
Prior to going on an ex

time to empty, defrost and

This saves as much as too
kwh per month for a ,6
cubic-foot freezer, or up to
150 kwh per month for a 16 5

Always leave the door ajar
on a freezer or refrigerator
which is turned off to pre
vent build up of unpleasant
odors
It ’s also a gixxl idea, she
said, to use a timer on a
lamp se, to come on each
evening "This small use of
electricity is easily justified
by making a vacant home

Vacation won't end bills

necessarily going to reduce

actions to reduce energy
consumption before going on

Most people forget that the
water heater heats water,
the refrigerator refrigerates
