GATES By Betty Kelle from Phoenix, Ariz. The cafe is open 24 hours a day which is different for the area. Mr. and Mrs Earl Loucks, Pearl Oliver, Ruby Brisbin and Mary Stafford went to Gresham last week to attend funeral services for Mrs. Elsie Myers. While living in Mill City, Mrs. Myers had been a member of the Methodist Church, The Ladies Aid, WWI Auxiliary and a Rebekah for several years. Tank Myers of Seattle, ar rived last Thursday to spend a month visiting with his sister, Mrs. Mary Stafford, and two brothers, Louis and Gilbert. He tries to time his visit here to take in hunting season each year. Thursday, October 12, is Home Extension meeting day at the Gates Community Hall, starting at 10 a. m. The dem- stration this month will be on Modern Textiles. Everyone is welcome. Thursday evening, October 12 at 7:30 p. m. the Planning Commission holds their reg ular monthly meeting. The field trip of Mr. Lonn- quist and Miss South’s second graders last week on Wednes day was cut very short.

This Thursday Kristi Lengacher will be celebrating her birthday. Looks as though our beauti ful fall sunshine has deserted us, we can hope it is only tem porary, but being October we can expect considerable rain. This would have probably been better weather for the hunters than the beautiful weather over the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Thomas, Sr. and Chris left Friday af-! temoon for Central Oregon I for dee,? hunting, beginning Saturday in the McKay Creek area. They spent Saturday night at Round Mountain and in all the territory they cov ered never saw a live deer Coming home Sunday they counted 23 bucks on cars and pickups, so there were at least that many successful hunters the first weekend. They said the scenery was really enjoyable with the trees all dressed up in their fall colors. One road they were traveling was under construc tion and they had to take a detour which took them by an old, old mine they hadn’t discovered before so they stopped off to explore it for awhile. It twisted and turned back into the hill about 300 ft. Their rock hunting was much more successful than their buck hunting. Lewis Hampton, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hampton, Sr., celebrated his fifth birth day Monday with a party. His cake, made by his aunt, Jose phine Hampton, was decorated like Fantasy Land. Helping to make it a memorable occas ion for Lewis was a telegram from Germany from his Uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Alferd Bush. And that wasn’t all, He also got a telegram from Mex ico from his grandparents, Mr and Mrs. Frank Garcia. Floyd and Laurel Johnson’s daughter and husband, Jim and Frances of Woodburn, brought their son Jimmy up Friday evening and spent the night. They went over to Bend Sat urday leaving Jimmy to go hunting with his grandfather. They reported no luck. Hollis and Catherine Turn- idge left early Saturday morn ing for Central Oregon for hunting. They stayed overnight and since the hunting was so poor, Hollis fished and got his limit. They were very tas ty, too, as I can verify.

When October comes, January can’t be far behind. If you haven’t done it already, here are a few suggestions for “winterizing” your home. Robert (Bob) Schmidt For County Commissioner Position No. 2 He Will Give Equal And Courteous Treatment To All Sections Of The County Pd. Po. Adv. Lou Marshall, 517 Lyon St., Albany, Ore. 97321 Before winter really sets in, it's a good idea to look around your home to see how you can make it more comfortable for the cold months ahead. Here are a few tips that wilt help keep your home warm—and save on electricity, too. Keep the cold air out With proper insulation, you can reduce heating costs as much as 40%! Check your doors and windows for drafts, too. Weather stripping, storm windows and doors, or insulating glass all help reduce heat loss. Check your heating system Make sure it’s in good working order. If you have a central heating system, flues should be cleaned, belts checked and adjusted, motors and pumps lubricated and combustion units adjusted. Check your furnace filters They should be cleaned or replaced in the fall and periodically during the heating season No matter what fuel your automatic central heating system uses, it still requires electricity to run the fan motors that force warm air throughout your house. If your filters are dirty or clogged, these motors work overtime, which causes unnecessary wear and uses more electricity. Draw your drapes at night They help insulate your windows—and your house—from the cold night air. Keep your thermostat at a comfortable setting. Turning it up won't help to heat your home any faster. It only wastes heat when the temperature is raised above the comfort level Thermostats shouldn't be turned down more than 8° during the sleeping hours. Drastic set-backs use more heat in the long run. Keep your fireplace damper dosed A tight-fitting damper keeps heat from going up the chimney when the fireplace is not in use. Glass doors on your fireplace also will reduce heat loss Check your water heater temperature Make sure the thermostat is set near 150’ You’ll get water hot enough for all your household needs and you'll keep your water heater working at maximum efficiency and economy Higher temperature settings may cause faucet washers to wear out more often. Fix leaky fauceta A leaky hot water faucet makes your water heater work overtime. So you waste gallons ol hot water—and electricity, too. And use electricity wisely Remember to turn off lights in rooms you re not using. Turn off the TV. radio and stereo when you're not around, too. Have a warm and wonderful winter!
