Feeling warm even though the ther mostat is set down a few degrees can result in lower heat bills. The game o f “ feeling w arm ” basically meiuns preventing your body heat fro m being draw n to colder windows, walls and floors, according to D orothy F. Brown, Oregon State University Extension housing-home furnishings specialist. Everyone radiates heat to colder sur faces, which is why a covering o f any kind on the arms and legs helps provide a warm feeling. Besides wearing more clothing when inside the house, here are some other ideas for maintaining a warm feeling. Move furniture away from walls and windows. Even double glass and insulated walls are colder than the body. Brighter, warmer colors can make the room feel cozier, also. So do furry and rough textues. Slip covers, furniture "throw s” and sofa pillows can be added in cuddly fabrics, using colors that contain red, orange or yellow. Covering the windows at night will stop radiant body heat from travelling to the cold window glass. However, i f air convection currents can get behind drapries and window shades, considerable room heat is lost. For more in fo rm a tio n bout energy-saving window treatments, ask for a free consumer portfolio on home heating conservation that is available a the county Extension o f fice. The b u lle tin “ Save home Heating Dollars” , which is part o f the p o rtfo lio , contains a chart showing the percentage o f heat savings that can be expected from different window treatments.

Advisory Boards Coalition recommendation — The School Board should closely monitor the representation on the advisory boards to avoid having the same per son serve on several boards; require that the composition o f the board corresponds to its regulations; insure that at least five community and civic organizations select representatives to the Title V II committee (not city and state agencies). Board response: Resolved, that the Superintendent is requested to report to the Board regarding 1) the manner o f selection of, and the extent and reason why, citizens serve on more than one advisory committee o f the District which deal specifically with matters relating to integration; 2) the m inim um governm ental requirements, i f any, with respect to representation on such advisory committees and whether in each in stance the District is in conformity thereto; 3) any further recommendations o f the Superintendent to assure ap propriate citizen representation on such advisory committees.

Wintertime’s weather has pounced on us now, bringing the cold and snow. While heat ing systems work overtime to keep your hom e at a com fy 68 degrees, temperatures o ut side dip below freez- ing.Whipped by winds o f thirty miles an hour and more, the chill factor drops temperatures further. Your hands grow num b as you struggle with tire chains to keep your car straight on frozen ice-slicked roads. Maybe the cold, brisk air is invigorating... until the postman delivers winter’s first hom e heating bill. Then you want to scream. Yes, wintertime weather runs roughshod over hom e heat ing costs. And shorter days mean more electric energy for heating and lighting your home. That’s why hom e heating costs are higher. But, with the help of Pacific Power, there’s som ething you can do about i t And, for greater economy, you can do it yourself. Start with a visit to the people at Pacific Power.They’ve fistful of brochures and pamphlets that show a lot o f ways to cut down the cold. And they’re all free. Then, do it yourself: extra insulation, weather stripping, storm windows, water heater wraps and more. All you need are a few com m on tools, a little bit o f time, and Pacific Power’s free guides. You’ll blow the whistle on cold’s ¿/ foul play. And save even more when you do it yourself.
