The third party person is in no way financially responsible for a delinquent or unpaid electric bill; however the notification gives the cus tomer time to help avoid a possible inter ruption of electrical service to the cus tomer with a payment problem. All PGE offices have application blanks and a folder which explains the service in detail. Power Situation Bleak As Reservoirs Stay Low The late fall Oregon rains fell mainly in the wrong places that is, west of the Cascades in the Willamette Valley. The con sequence is that the major reservoirs that really count, east of the Cascade range and feeding the Columbia River hydro sys tem, are some 5,100,000,000 (5.1 billion) kilowatt-hours short of normal, according to Merrill Schultz, coordinator of the Northwest Power Pool. To make up for the deficit, the company is operating all its own generating plants, with the exception of the Trojan plant which is undergoing repairs, but due back on line in early December. New Communication Device Installed for Deaf People A combination telephone-typewriter Telecommunications Device (TCD), called a "Porta-Tel" has been installed in all PGE division and. district offices enabling com pany customer representatives to "talk" with customers who have speech and hear ing impairments. Prior to the installation, these customers would ask a friend or neighbor to call the company on their be half if they had ques tions reeardine their bills or wanted to establish or discontinue electric service. Or, still more inconvenient, it would necessitate a trip to their nearest PGE office. Now, communication is merely a phone call away. Some 80 percent of im paired people in Oregon have access to this communication device. Self Adhering Weatherstrip Easy, Fast, Effective A special adhesive, developed for the Alaskan pipeline project, combined with flexible polypropylene in a V-shape is a new weatherstripping material newly intro duced to the weatherization market. The manufacturer says that the V-shape, plus the flexibility of the polypropylene, enables the material to keep springing back to effec tively fill gaps in leaky doors and windows. Another advantage, says the manufacturer, is that the product eliminates tacking, if metal weather strips are used. Also, air can enter the uneven surfaces between the tackings. As the manufacturer claims... "all you need is scissors." The product is new, so availability may be spotty at hardware, building material dealers and do-it-yourself stores. Many other weatherstripping mate rials are also effective. Decorate With Taste But, Please Don't Waste Gone are the days (or, rather nights) when entire neighborhoods lighted up fes tively for the Christmas season. Gone, too, from the Portland scene is the Christmas Lighting Contest traditionally sponsored by the Portland Junior Chamber of Com merce. And, fast flying off resi dential roof tops are lighted Santa Clauses steer ing lighted red-nose reindeer leading Donner, Blitzen, et al. The reason a scarcity of kilowatts which are getting more scarce and expen sive. And, although lighting is one of the smaller users of electricity around the house (about 1 percent normal, average household usage), the saving of every non essential kilowatt-hour is important, espe cially during the current energy shortage. PGE suggests that during the holiday sea son, you decorate with taste but it's mighty important that you don't waste.
