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.

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.
