MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. Mim, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 3. 1982 Switch To Bulbs Lasting Lifetime Dim Way To Save By LOUIS CASSELS Washington - CPU - Elec trical manufacturers know how to produce light bulbs that will last a lifetime. But the standard bulbs which you buy in the market burn out after an average of 750 to 1,000 hours of use.

But you would be 100 per cent wrong, report scientists at the National Bureau of Standards. The bureau has conducted extensive studies of the mat ter to provide purchasing guidance for the U.S. govern ment, the world's largest user of light bulbs. Summed Up Its findings can be summed up as follows: The standard five month light bulb is a better buy for ordinary household and office use than the long-life bulbs which burn for years. L. E. Barbrow, chief of the photometry and colorimetry section of the Bureau of Standards, explains why this is true. The efficiency of a light bulb, in terms of the amount of illumination it produces per watt of electric power consumed, is directly related to the temperature at which its filament burns. The hotter the filament, the more light you get per watt of power. On the other hand, the hotter the filament, the sooner it burns out. Exampli To take a couple of extreme examples, a photoflood lamp used for taking indoor pic tures prduced more than 30 lumens of light per watt. But it burns out after 3 to 6 hours. On the other hand, a 230 volt lamp operated at the standard household power of 120 volts would last about one million hours. But its ef ficiency of light production would be extremely low -about 3 lumens per watt. Tests by the bureau show that the optimum efficiency for ordinary household use is obtained when the cost of the electric power consumed by a bulb throughout its lifetime is approximately seven times the cost of the bulb itself. The mathematics of this computation are very compli cated, but it figures out that you get the most light for your money with standard bulbs that last from 750 to 1,000 hours. This does NOT mean that long-life bulbs are always a bad buy. On the contrary, Barbrow points out, there are some cases in which they are a wise investment. For ex ample, if a light bulb is lo cated in a relatively inacces sible place, so that replacing it is difficult or even hazard ous, you'd be well advised to install a "life-time" bulb there and accept the relative inef ficiency of light production as a lesser evil than risking your neck to replace a standard bulb every few months. By the same logic, lifetime bulbs may make economic sense where labor costs of replacing burned out bulbs enter into the calculation. If you do use long life bulbs for a special purpose, how ever, you should allow for their relative inefficiency by installing a 125 -watt lamp where you'd put a 100-watt standard incandescent bulb. At this point, some house holders will be muttering to themselves that they know very well some of their bulbs have been burning out in a lot less than 750 to 1,000 hours of use. And they're probably right. Barbrow says that fluctua tions in power voltage may shorten the life of a light bulb considerably. In fact, a five per cent increase in volt age - from the standard 120 volts (for which bulbs are de signed) to 126 volts - will cut the life of a bulb in half. Recent Meeting Held by Sisters Past Chiefs club of the Pythian Sisters met Tuesday. August 28, at the home of Mrs. Walter Grochocki on Coleman Creek road. Mrs. Lewis Thompson was co hostess. At the business meeting the finance committee reported that there would be a bazaar and food sale early in Novem ber.

The Mail Tribune asking women '"We've been hearing so much about this place we de cided to try it this week end," said the friendly woman in the camp next to ours at Howard Prairie lake Sunday morn ing. "We think it's wonderful. It seems to be run a lot better than some of the camping places we've been." There were five adults and two children in the party, and they were from Roseburg. Earlier we talked to a young girl who was rinsing her bathing suit in the washroom she said she had come up from Areata, Calif., with her aunt, uncle and two cousins. "We like it here." she said. "I'm sorry my daddy and mother didn't get to come." The two of us agreed with the visitors. We hadn't been to the Howard lake recreation area since Its development, and after our overnight campout, decided that it's a wonder ful asset to this area. Apparently the fishermen, boating en thusiasts and sailing fans like it, too. Saturday night when we checked in with Bob Johnston, who operates the facility for Jackson county, he said that about 600 people were camped in the area. We took one of the last available spots in fact, the usual overnight camping sites were all taken because Mr. J. doesn't have the heart to turn anyone down after they drive that far, he let the overflow camp in the picnic area. It seems that some residents of the county have been annoyed at the fee of $1 per day per car which is charged. This doesn't seem too high considering what it must cost to keep up and staff such an area. Mr. Johnston said that 10 employees live at the lake and are on duty the week around; an additional six go up to help out over the week end. Several persons are required to staff the store, marina, etc., and the clean-up work must go on every day. Right new additional camp sites are being cleared, and more roads constructed. In view of all this, and since some of the camp ers are from other counties and other states, the charge seems necessary and reasonable. Weather like Saturday and Sunday is one reason we love southern Oregon. It is warm, without being too hot, and with nights favorable for camping. We spread our sleep ing bags under the trees on the lake shore Saturday night and were bedded down by 9 o'clock. About 3 a.m. we woke briefly, and looked at the stars, about 5 a.m. a lonesome puppy howled mournfully but even that didn't keep us awake very long. When we finally were wide awake the sun was way up in the sky and other campers all around were al ready on the lake fishing, or were getting breakfast. Pappy said he had been wakened earlier by an inquisitive chipmunk which ran up and down between the two sleeping bags. The chipmunks are all over the campground and we had fun watching their antics. In fact, we decided the animal on the big sign at the entrance to the recreation area should be a chipmunk instead of a beaver. Actually, Potpourri thought it was a chipmunk, but Pappy insists that it's a beaver. gon Centennial was observed by the branch when they named their grant, "Medford branch Oregon Centennial." The grants given during the past three years have honored members who have been out standing in their fields. In 1959-19ti0 the Maxine Smith international grant was given for her work in the field of education and as president of the Oregon Education associ ation; in 1960-1961 the Enid Rankin American fellowship was made for her work with senior citizens, and in 1961 1962 the Bertha Haskins In ternational fellowship in her memorial as a teacher and I other, named American fel ilnwshin wai The Mprifnrrt interested in organizing a story Hour fellowship in hon branch of the American Aj-lor of the children's program sociation of. university Wom en to contact Mrs Robert Hart, who later presided at the organizational session. During the 26 years since its organization the Medford branch of AAUW has under taken a number of projects, but considered the most out standing is their annual con tribution to education fellow ships for both American and foreign women to continue their higher education. The amount contributed by the local branch since It was organized has totalled $5,238. For the past seven years a. least one $500 award has been contributed by the group each year. In 1957-1958 the branch gave $1,000 for two. During this same period the branch contributed more than $1,000 as their share in con structing the AAUW Founda tion headquarters in Washing ton, D.C. First Grant The first Intvr national grant, contributed in 1948 1849, was named "The Med ford Oregon AAUW." Not until 1953-1954 was the branch able to donate $500 for another international grant which is the smallest amount that may be donated in order for it to be named by the branch. That year it was named in honor of Mrs. Jus tin (JoAnne) Smith, Medford High school American prob lems instructor, who has been chairman of the intcrnation.il relations interest group of the branch since its organization. Other international grants and their names were Med ford, Oregon, Branch, 1955 1956 and Medford Branch 20th Year Anniversary grant, in 1956-1957.

The campground was filled with tents, trailers, station wagons with beds and all manner of equipment. Too, there are some house boats on the lake. That, we decided, would be ideal. One of the few drawbacks to camping in places like Howard lake is the fact that neighbors are so close. Surely the middle of the lake would assure privacy. Of course, the water was covered with boats of all sorts Sunday. We counted eight or 10 sailboats at one time. One had red sails, and another had blue and white stripes. They were a lovely sight on the water. Since we don't fish or go boating, we took a walk around the campground. Across the way a camper hailed us with a cheery greeting and it turned out to be I. A. Mirick of Med ford. Instead of fishing rods or water skis, these outdoors men were equipped with bows and arrows. Mr. M. remind ed us that the bow and arrow season on deer had opened the day before. He said that both Saturday and Sunday morning the group had gotten up at 3 a.m. (we thought we heard someone chopping wood at 3 a.m.) had crossed the lake in a boat and hunted the country to the cast. With Mr. Mirick were Dr. Merle Foland of Medford, David D'Olivo of Ashland and Dr. Foland's two sons, Paul and Michael. The hunters reported they had seen few bucks, but many does and fawns. Since they were interested only in bringing back bucks, the hunt had not been successful. Mr. M. admitted that he had tried his luck at fishing, too, but hadn't caught anything. "We don't really mind," said Mr. M. with a big smile. "We really came just to have fun outdoors and for the food. He's a good hand at cooking." pointing to Dr. Foland.) "Last night he cooked steaks over the coals and fried potatoes with onions. We didn't quite finish the potatoes and onions, so we warmed them over for our early breakfast. They were almost better the second time!" Mr. M. hit the nail on the head. The thousands of people who take to the woods aren't really that much in love with fishing, or water skiing or hunting. They Just want to be outdoors. And food cooked outdoors tastes mighty good. The camp ers from Roseburg are keen about pit cooking. Early Sun day morning we watched one of the men shoveling coals and wondered. Later we learned that they brought potatoes, meat and fresh corn prepared and wrapped in full. After break fast they put all this in the bottom of the fire pit, put the coals back on and keep a small fire during the day. When the men are through fishing and return to camp, hungry, dinner is all cooked and the womenfolk haven't had to do a thing. O.S. Carsons Guests In Shady Cove Shady Cove - Recent guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J Dick Bartuss of Rogue River drive, Shady Cove, have been Mr. and Mrs. Frank (Kit) Car son who formerly owned a summer home near the Bar tuss' place.
