To Conserve On
Electric Power
“Customer
response
to
PP&L’s voluntary conserva­
tion program is encouraging,
but a giant effort by all elec­
tric users is needed to assure
avoidance of mandatory cut­
backs this winter,” Don C.
Frisbee, board chairman, said
today.
PP&L began a concentrated
communications and customer
call program in August asking
industrial, commercial and
residential users to cut back
electric consumption by at
least seven percent.
“Up to August of this year,
when we began our conserva­
tion efforts, the energy con­
sumption level was running
seven percent ahead of last
year. Currently the increase
is down to three percent. So,
what we are experiencing is
a four percent reduction from
normal electrical use,” Frisbee
said, “and we can point to
customer conservation efforts
as the reason for this reduc­
tion.”
“The encouraging thing Is
that a trend is developing.
However, an accelerated con­
servation effort by PP&L cus­
tomers during the next two
months is vital, if we’re going
to reach the goals,” the utility
head emphasized.
During the past month, util­
ity representatives have met
with large
use customers
showing them ways to reduce
power consumption. “Their
response has been outstanding.
Many large industrial and
commercial customers
have
recorded savings between 15
and 35 percent,” Frisbee said.
Large use customers have
been responsible for our suc­
cess to date. The schools, re­
tail stores and the pulp and
paper industry have been very
cooperative. What is needed
now is a surge of support
from residential customers,”
Frisbee said.
He urged residential custo­
mers to:
During the day set your
thermostat at the lowest com­
fort temperature. At night, or
when away from home, lower
it at least 10 degrees to save
energy.
Use hot water with care —
especially in baths, showers,
dishwashers and clothes wash­
ers. The hot water tank is a
large consumer of electricity.
Reduce all home and office
lighting and use of electric ap­
pliances.
He cautioned employees and
customers not to relax their
conservation efforts. “Even if
the region meets its peak and
firm load requirements during
this critical winter period, it
will take at least another year
of above average precipitation
to fill the reservoirs and re­
turn the region to the accus­
tomed levels of hydro genera­
tion.
Detroit City Budget
Revised By Council
DETROIT — A special pub­
lic meeting was held Monday
Linn County Boosts evening
at Detroit City Hall,
Garbage Collection
Rates In County
Lions Club Members
in order to supplement the
city’s budget.
The meeting was called to
order at 7:30 p.m. by budget
chairman, Verna Ketchum.
Four members of the budget
committee were present and
members of the city council.
Also present, was this reporter
and one citizen .
It was deemed necessary to
revise the budget, due to prob­
lems stemming from improper
“bookkeeping” after the 1973-
1974 budget was approved.
Due to failure of a former
city recorder not presenting
last years revenue sharing
form to the city council, the
budget committee and council
had to fill out forms for both
last year and this year.
At an earlier public meet­
ing and council last week, it
was decided and passed by the
council that monies received
from revenue sharing, would
be used to purchase a new wa­
ter pump and equipment.
The $2,635 received includes
a holdover from last year,
which must be kept in a separ­
ate fund.
Date on a public hearing on
the budget will be announced
later.
Loggers Fall
To Santiam
Wolverines
The Santiam Wolverines,
led by junior quarterback
David Plotts, overpowered
the Knappa Loggers, 38-7, in
a non-league game at Mill City
on Friday.
David Plotts scored four
touchdowns, passed for an­
other, and kicked two extra
points against Knappa.
He
also collected 102 yards on
kickoff returns, 35 yards on
punt returns, 50 yards on
rushing, and passed for over
40 yards.
Santiam’s first score came
early in the first quarter when
David Plotts
scrambled in
from two yards out He then
kicked the extra point. Six
minutes later, Craig Black­
burn smashed across the goal
line from a yard out, giving
Santiam a 13-0 first quarter
lead. There was no scoring in
the second quarter.
Five minutes into the sec­
ond half, Jerry Grant collect­
ed a 20 yard pass from Plotts
to give the Wolverines a 19
point lead. The PAT kick was
good. Another five minutes
elapsed before David Plotts
scampered around the left
end for a 12 yard touchdown
run. Halfway into the fourth
period, Jim Wright capped a
42 yard scoring drive by pass­
ing a TD pass to David Plotts.
Knappa then came up with
their only score of the night
on a 79 yard pass play to Leo­
nard Bjornstrom from John
Barendse. Then Knappa kick­
ed off to David Plotts who,
with the help of good block­
ing, ran 82 yards for the final
touchdown of the night
Santiam’s rushing yardage
came from the senior running
back, Craig Blackburn.
He
picked up 149 yards on 14
rushing attempts.
Jim Wright played a good
game as the substitute quar­
terback. He passed for 45
yards and he was successful on
two out of three passes. He al­
so ran for 41 yards on only
four carries.
Jerry Grant also put in a
fine performance both offen­
sively and defensively.
He
caught a touchdown pass and
had numerous tackles on de­
fense.
