A research paper written
several years ago and a
continuing interest in the
small 13-square mile island of
Norfolk were culminated last
month when Mr. and Mrs.
Cliff , Williams, Morrow
County retired teachers, were
able to spend a few days at
this lovely spot.
This small island, lovely to
see and steeped in history, is
600 miles north of Ne
Zealand and was reached by a
trip taking them to Portland
by Amtrak, then on via plane
to their destination. Due to a
plane cancellation, their sche
dule was always a few hours
late, which kept them on their
toes and ready to go. They
flew from Portland to Hawaii
then on to Sydney, Australia,
and off to Norfolk. The island
has been twice a prison island,
for England and Australia.
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.

invited to share in lodge
activities. The bazaar will
consist of aprons, pillow cases
and other items, including

Average Payment Plan
Eliminates Major Fluctuations
PGE is making available to its residential
customers a new "average pay plan" which
smooths out the seasonal fluctuations of
electric bills and distributes the payments
more evenly throughout the year. 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.
