identified a need for counseling
in existing problem areas in the
Warm Springs Community.
The objective of the commit
tee is to provide an on going
means of family counseling, both
on a one-to-one and a group
basis. The committee plans to
keep weekly workshops on the
calendar and to provide keynote
speakers to the community on
communication techniques and
building positive relationships
within the family.
The committee members are
currently attending a series of
family relations workshops
given by Mike Giamatteo. The
communication and self-develop-
shops have been incorporated
into weekly workshops taking
place at the Community Center
on Wednesday nights from 7-9
p.m.
The committee seees its
activities as a supplement to
efforts already being made by
some agencies in these areas. All
agencies and organizations are
invited to weekly planning meet
ings, and your input and partici
pation would be appreciated. The
next meeting is on Monday,
November 6th at noon in the
Extension Office in the Old Ad.

actions related to the concerns
expressed so often by the com
munity and community agen
cies.

Insulate With Clothing!
With energy cost skyrocket
ing, everyone will be looking for
ways to stay warm during winter
and still save on fuel bills.
Consumers who look at their
clothes as body insulation can
help solve the dilemma caused
by their desire to lower heating
temperatures to conserve energy
and for physical confort, says
Pennie Albrandt, Warm Springs
Extension Agent.
This year, the re-emergipce
of natural fibers, such as cotton
and wool, and the processing of
man-made fibers to look and act
like the natural, means that
clothing can be even better for
insulation.
Natural fibers such as cotton
and wool are the most absorbent
and because of this the warmest.
The more absorbent a garmet,
the more it will allow body
moisture to evaporate from the
skin. Evaporation of body moi
sture is a must for keeping
warm. If body moisture can’t
escape from clothing it will
condense and make the clothint
moist. When this moisture cools
then body heat is wasted in order
to compensate for the cool
clothing.
To insulate with clothing a
gerneral rule is to dress in
several layers so that layers can
be added when in a cold temper
ature and easily removed when
the temperature is more comfor
table.
Pants, instead of skirts,
boots, instead of shoes, ribbed
cuffs instead of open cuffs,
turtle-p
necks instead of open collars,
tucked in shirts or ribbed waist
lines, and long socks instead of
short socks will make better use
of body heat.
The construction of a fabric
can also help to insulate. Choose
waffle weaves, knits, pile fabrics
(fake furs), quilted fabrics, thick
wools, and other fabrics that
provide insulation between the
body and the cold.
For more information on
insulating with clothing pick up
the extension'circular number
926 - “Cut Heating Costs -
Insulate Yourself With Your
Clothes” from the Warm Springs
Extension Office in the Old
Administration Building.
