In reality the hospital’s shop ping list is probably the long est in the world. It has a to tal of more than ten thousand items on it. Most of them you never see-until you need them. Then they are ready for you. Of course, the hospital’s shop ping list grows and changes constantly as the hospital keeps pace with changes and improvements in medical knowledge and technology. The material requirements of a vastly different than those hospital ten years ago were today. We used to think a hospital was simply a place designed to care for the sick or injured. Today a hospital is much more than that. Hospitals are deep ly involved in preventive med icine and in maintaining health in their communities. Hospitals will follow this trend more and more in the future as they strive to meet increasing de mands for care and for offer ing more complete services. | his job as he goes along.

Days are colder, nights are longer, and your family is spending more time indoors. So you’re using more electricity. For heating and lighting. For cooking. For all kinds of household chores. That’s why, especially this time of year, it’s so nice to , know that electricity is always there behind * the switch, ready to help out whenever , you need it. Of course, how much electricity *you use depends entirely on you—on the size of your family and on how you want to live. Our job is to plan ahead so we can build new power plants as they’re needed Anckto make sure those new plants fit in withVhe “livability" of this region. {■ b/' ' V Here's how m to get the most | from vour winter electricitv. Set your thermostat at a comfortable temperature. You may not know it, but each degree your thermostat is set above 70 adds about 3% to your annual heating bill. And if you continually change your temperature setting throughout the day, you take a chance of increasing your bill even more. So set your thermostat at a com fortable temperature and leave it there all day long. Also, check your doors and windows for drafts. Weather stripping, storm doors and windows, and insulation glass can cut costly heating loss. .... \ ’ ' ' V7 Turn down your heat at night. There’s no need to keep your house at daytime comfort levels when everyone’s in bed. Shut your fireplace damper. You can lose valuable heat up the chimney, so check to make sure the fire is out and ashes are cold, and then close the damper when you're not using your fireplace. Draw your drapes at night. Heat can leak right through window glass. And you'll feel chilly sitting next to a win dow at night when the drapes are open. Take good care of your water heater. Then it’ll take got d care of you! Set your thermostat near 150 . You'll get water hot enough for all your household needs. Drain the tank and safety release valve about every six months to get rid of any sludge that might form. And fix leaky faucets A leaky hot water faucet makes your water heater work overtime. So you waste gallons of hot water. And elec tricity, too! 23 > ' 1 Wash and dry full loads of clothes. Unless your washer and dryer have cycles for small loads, you’ll save yourself time, electricity, and money if you run them only when you have full loads. Do your ironing in batches. That way, you won't have to heat up your iron as many times. You'll save electricity. Money, too. Defrost! In refrigerators that are not self-defrost ing, heavy frost can build up and cut down efficiency. Since they have to work harder, they use more electricity. So defrost regularly! Use electricity wisely. Try to remember to turn off lights in rooms you're not using. Turn off the TV, radio, and stereo when you're not around, too. Pacific Power Where they make the electricity that makes things nicer for everybody. I
