Army Picks Black Beret to Promote Unity
(A P )- Fort Bragg, North Caro­
lina, soldiers are sporting new
headgear.
They’ve started wearing their
new black berets, which officially
become the new Army headgear
Thursday.
In the past, the black berets
were reserved for the elite Rang­
ers. But last October, the Army
chief o f staff decided to let others
wear black berets as a way o f
promoting unity.

That decision soothed some of
the anger, but not all o f it. Veteran
and military groups are still work­
ing with members o f Congress to
get it overturned.
But Thursday, there was cel­
ebration. Nine soldiers have been
selected at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina to wear the first new
black berets. Ceremonies included
a ten-mile run, and a large birth­
day cake cut with bayonets.

W e all need to be superheroes now.
A lot of things, from the growth in high-tech industries to increased
population, tell us the energy crunch our region is facing right now
will continue for awhile. Dealing with it means that each of us has to
change the way we use energy. And w e have to start now.
Here are some changes and tips that will make a difference now
and in the future:
CALL TODAY FOR AN APPLICATION
AND MORE INFORMATION
■ Switch to compact fluorescent
bulbs in lights that remain
on three or more hours per
day. They use one quarter
the energy.
503 916-5724
■ Set air conditioner
thermostats to 78°F or higher.
PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS
■ Wait 'til late to use electricity.
Avoid using your dishwasher
and w asher/drver during
sum m er peak hours of 2 p.m.
to 8 p.m. Run only full loads.
■ Keep doors, windows and
window coverings closed
during the hottest part of
the day.
■ Open w indow s to allow in
cool air during the morning
and evening.
■ Turn off one 60-watt light that
would normally be on during
the peak sum m er hours of
2 p.m. to 8 p.m. If every one
of our 1.5 million customers
did, the energy saved could
power about 45,000 homes.
■ Use microwaves or outdoor
grills instead of ovens.
■ Turn com puters and monitors
off at night and whenever
they're not in use.
■ Be a hero and make saving
energy a habit.
Do the bright thing.
