So, if you intend to build a new home, or simply remodel or redecorate your present one, plan for ade­ quate laundry wiring — it helps electricity to help you. Here's how to go about it: First of all, check the location of your convenience outlets, lights and switches to make sure you have plenty of light and plug-in facilities available when and where you need them. As an ab­ solute minimum, the wiring ex­ perts recommend one ceiling or wall light over the washing cen- large (20-ampere) circuit for ef­ ficient operation of laundry ap­ pliances. The lights may be served by a smaller 15-ampere circuit, which supplies electricity for lighting in other rooms as well. Some appliances require indi­ vidual circuits—to insure plenty of uninterrupted current. These include the new automatic wash­ ers, driers and electric water heaters. If any such appliances are planned for the future, it’s a good idea to ¡¡.stall spare circuits for this equipment while other electrical work is being carried out. This will avoid greater ex­ pense and inconvenience later on.

Mile-for-Mile Risk No Higher Despite increased death tolls, the mile-for-mile risk on Oregon’s highways has not increased over last year, it has been announced by Secretary of State Robert S. Farrell Jr. In the face of increasing death rates over the nation, Oregon has managed to hold to last year's levels. The figured has stayed at ten killed for every hundred million miles travled on the state’s highways, or a total of 333 dead for the first rine months of the year. “While Oregon fatalities are up about 50 per cent,” said Farrell, “the swollen volume of traffic has kept apace. Mile for mile, we’re no worse off than last year.” He said this was something of an accomplishment because most of the country has evidently lost ground in its efforts to keep the dpath rate down. He added, how­ ever, that the record, while better than some, is nothing to brag about. • THE EAGLE, VERNONIA, ORE, THURSDAY, NOV. 21, 1Ö46 5 salads.

Why Bert Won First Prize Folks weren’t surprised when Bert Childers won first prise for his corn at the connty fair. Yet the judges admit it wasn’t just because Bert had the finest ears of corn. He knew how to dis­ play them: neatly arranged, with the husks cleanly trimmed, and the booth white and spotless. “Trimmings’' sure make a differ­ ence no matter what you’re offer­ ing—as Andy Botkin, keeper of the Garden Tavern, well knows. Andy doesn't just sell good beer. He sells it in a place that's clean and attrac­ tive... in nice surroundings that belong with the enjoyment of a wholesome beverage of moderation. And Andy, of course, is a whole­ hearted supporter of “Self Regu­ lation.” That’s the system by which the Brewers and tavern keepers themselves make sure that taverns selling beer are clean and orderly. From where I sit, people like Andy also rate a “First prize.” Not just for the quality of the product —but for the “trimmings” too.
