Trying to keep warm
Outwitting winter cold is a game
most people are playing these days.
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.

greater awareness o f educational op

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.

hom e h eatin g b ill.
So blow the whistle on cold’s foul play.
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.
