The last few years it has become quite commercial ized. On the trip they spent one night in Hawaii, with time spent in some sight-seeing. On the return trip, more time was allowed for Sydney, Australia. They found this an interesting place with much history to be learned. They visited the famous zoo there and the opera house.

Under the plan, monthly payments are determined by taking an average of the current and last 1 1 billings, plus 10 percent of any balance carried forward. You will find that it will help the family budget, too. If this method of paying your electric bill appeals to you, drop in or call the PGE office nearest you and learn the details. For those PGE custom ers who have been using the now replaced Average Pay Plan, they will be transferred automatically to the new plan unless they tell us they don't want to be. Hair Dryer Can Help To Detect Air Leaks A hand-held hair dryer can help you spot areas around doors that are leaking air. Have someone inside the house follow your path of blown-in air and have your helper chalk the spots where the air is coming in. Once the leaks are detected, use one of any number of weatherstripping materials that are available. The easiest and quickest to use is a foam rubber strip with self-sticking backing. You just open the door and clean the jamb at the leak points. Then peel off the foam backing and press on the strips. Use the hair dryer technique again to check your efforts.

PGE Expands Program To Weatherize Customers' Electrically Heated Homes Now, do-it-yourselfers as well as owners of electrically heated mobile homes, houseboats and multiple family dwellings are included in PGE's weatherization pro gram. Previously, only owners of single fam ily electrically heated residential dwellings were eligible for the low-interest or de ferred payment weatherization. For those PGE customers who are interested in hav ing their homes weatherized under this plan, we ask that they be patient. We should be able to inspect homes in less than a month after a request is made, but contrac tors are experiencing shortages of alumi num and there will be some delay in their being able to make and install storm doors and windows. Boardman Coal-Fired Plant 75 Percent Completed A workforce of 1,200, employed by 17 contractors, have PGE's Boardman coal fired generating plant on schedule. The pro ject, located in north central Oregon, is 75 percent completed and is due to go on line in September of next year. The plant will be the first electric generating plant in Oregon to use coal as fuel. When on line, it will produce 530,000 kilowatts which is more than Bonneville dam and about half the capacity of the Trojan nuclear plant. Prune with Prudence Fall, when the sap slows down and the limbs are beginning to shed their leaves, is a fine time for pruning and trimming. But a word of caution prune with prudence. Never use metal-handled tools when prun ing trees near power lines. And use a wooden ladder to reach the high places, preferably with a helper steadying your perch. It's good also to plan the fall of the pruned-off limbs. Better safe than sorry. Thought for the Day "Facts are stubborn things" Smollett Fbrtland General Electric
