The system is designed this way in the belief that it is better to run the risk of having a few lights on during the day on occasion until they can be fixed than to have them off at night when they are needed for traffic and pedestrian safety. If you do see a light burning during the day and this could be anywhere in the city, including the ornamental street light ing system of downtown Portland call PGE's repair department 226-8111 and specify the location. Conservation is important and so is safety. Cornus Nuttaili Gets Nod in New Trees Brochure The headline above proves that Latin is not a dead language after all, but rather describes a living, breathing, beau tiful native Oregon tree popularly known as Pacific Dogwood. And, for more Latin to amaze your friends and neighbors and for more knowledge about the kinds of trees that do well in Oregon and the Willamette Valley, you may have free, PGE's new full-color, 16 page "Trees" brochure. Purpose of the publica tion is to provide guidelines that will help Ore gon tree lovers select trees to bring lasting beauty and also help to prevent interruptions of your electrical service by staying clear of overhead lines. They are available at most gar den supply centers in the company's service area and at all PGE's offices. Save Trips with Tips on Using Freezer Super Mart Now that it takes close to a dollar or more to buy a gallon of gasoline, it really pays to avoid as many trips as possible even to your neigh borhood supermarket. Your home freezer can help and following these tips can help save those trips: (1) Place freezer away from heat producing equipment and direct sunlight, (2) Freeze fresh, in-season foods and don't over stock commercially frozen foods that are al ways available freeze these when on sale, (3) Don't let frost build up more than a quarter of an inch. President Sets Energy Conservation Guidelines In his energy speech July 15, President Carter ordered that air conditioning ther mostats of the nation's office buildings and stores be no lower than 78 and that the wintertime thermostats be set at 65. Also, that thermostats on water heaters in commercial buildings and stores be set at 105 for personal hygiene and general cleaning. Although a spokeswoman for the federal Energy Department isn't quite yet sure of how the new rules will be enforced, she indicated non-compliers could face fines of up to 110,000 a day. Apartments, hotels, elemen tary schools and day-care centers are exempt from the rule which remains in effect nine months after the effective date of July 23, 1979. Trojan, 67 Nuclear Plants Can Now Call NRC Quickly In the event of an incident that would threaten public health and safety at Trojan and 67 other U.S. licensed nuclear generating plants, newly established "dedicated" tele phone lines between the plants and the US. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Operation's Center in Bethesda, Maryland will enable plant operators to communicate directly and im mediately with NRC technical staff personnel. NRC staff personnel are on duty 24 hours a day as are nuclear plant operators. Establishment of the direct telephone line is a good idea and was initiated by NRC following the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant last March. Trojan Producing Near 50 of Customer Needs The Trojan nuclear plant has been operating since July 1 1 and PGE's 67.5 percent share of the plant's output is supplying about one-half of the electricity used by customers. Trojan's production of approximately 1000 megawatts of electricity is helping to ease the current critical power situation due to low streamflbws in the region's rivers.
