Family receives fly in
guests from California
Lois, Ernie and Erna Win
chester have had some fly-in
guests recently.
Lowell Turner, an American
Airlines pilot, who lives at
Santa Rosa, California, flew
his wife and their two daugh
ters to Heppner to visit with
his mother, Lois and family
and with Edie's family. Millie
Pankey is her mother.
They came in a group-owned
plane that Lowell com
mandeered for the trip. While
they were visiting here, he
took his mother and Ernie and
Erna up. Lois said this was
her first look at Heppner and
vicinity from above and she
found flying in a small plane
very different from her exper
iences in the big jetliners.
Lowell flew the four of them

dinner at the airport before
returning to Heppner.
Now Lowell and Edie and
daughters Tina and Kisha

Street Lights Stay On
When Something's Wrong
"Fail-safe" is the term applied to the control
equipment for the street lighting system in
Portland so that if and when anything goes
wrong with the circuit, the lights automatically
stay on. 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.
