GEORGE WEBSTER ROSS
taurant owner, is the newly
elected president of the Am
erican Cancer Society’s Ore­
gon division, succeeding Dr.
William Pyrch, Oregon City
physician. Hilaire was execu­
tive committee chairman.
Service says about 110.Or ' vis
tor days were recorded in Wil­
derness areas in National For­
sts in Oregon from June to
early September.
Pete Foiles of the recrea­
tional staff said nearly three-
fourths of the visitors had ob­
tained free permits from Ran­
ier Stations under a new sys-
em to improve recording of
wilderness use.
Foiles said the Forest Ser­
vice’s main objective this year
was “to get the public inform­
ed that permits are required.
This will make it easier in the
luture to put more teeth into
it," he said.
He said the Forest Service
has no plans to restrict entry
in the near future.
Gentlemen:
I recently visited your com­
munity at the “Santiam Val­
ley Grange and found such
a beautiful group of people,
there, I was introduaed to
your fine piper "The Mill City
Enterprise”. After reading two
copies (September 21 and
September 28) I have also dis­
covered the same "beautiful­
ness” that I found within your
community.
So staff, hold up your heads
because quite truthfully, I
loved your paper the friend­
liness is really a great quality
that my hometown paper lacks.
Keep up the Good work

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 will 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% I 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 closed
z
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 faucets
A leaky hot water faucet makes your water
heater work overtime So you waste gallons of
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 winterl
