Study Determines Operation Costs The larger the home freezer the more electricity it can be ex pected to uss. This fact may not be surprising, says Don Coin Wal rod, county extension agent, but other figures gathered in a study of costs of home freezer operation may not be quite so obvious. Through cost studies it was found that the amount of food frozen and stored has relatively little effect on th? electric bill. However, th? cumulative cost of ownership, including depreciation, interest on investment and ser vices and repair charges are from two to three times the annual costs of electricity. No significant difference was found in the operation costs of chest and unright types. Records also showed that differences in typ • and thicknesses of insulation used in freezers reputable By Marvin Kamholz The somewhat different use of an idea sometim.s catches hold and the result may be better than anticipated. It’s working that way for the March of Dimes started Saturday morning on the counter at Vike’s cafe. Early that day a contributor to the dimes fund placed 10 of the coins on the counter and the line had grown until by Wednesday morning there were 180. A sign explains the purpose of the coins so there can be no mis taking the worthwhile cause for which restaurant patrons are asked to contribute. It will be interesting to see the distance the dimes have marched by the time the current drive ends. manufacturers were not enough to affect appreciably the amount of electricity usd Freezers of less than 10 cubic feet capacity in unheated loca- tions used up to 62 kilowatt hours a month. Those from 10 to 15 cubic feet used between 45 and 68 kwh; those from 15 to 20 ranged from 70 to 94 kwh, while the 20 to 30 cubic feet freezers used 82 to 122 kwh average per month. Where freezers were locat d in heated rooms, cost of operation went up 10 to 17 p:r cent, says Walrod. Mr. and Mrs. Ray East and children of Coos Bay were re- cent house guests the Bill Pringles.

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION VEGETABLES and FRUITS Every motorist has observed cans and bottles along the road sides, the work of litterbugs, and is occasionally confronted with attempting to dodge broken glass from a bottle to avoid tire dam age. This litter is definit.ly not needed and a member of the Oregon State Motor association has a suggestion that might help prevent th? tossing of bottles from cars. It is: "You cannot prevent the prac- ( tice by passing laws against it. You must make the container valuable enough that it will hurt the pocketbook to throw it away.” That might just be an excellent method to stop his type of high way litter if the deposit were sufficiently high, say at least 25 cents on each container.

Peppermint rust that knocked out 20 per cent of Oregon’s $4 million mint production last year has been controlled experiment ally by Oregon StatCollege. Findings will be reported at the annual meeting of Oregon Essen tial Oil Growlers league on the OSC campus, January 28 and 29. Chester E. Hornsr, OSC plant pathologist, says the college ex pects commercial spray recom mendations to be made as soon as final clearance is given showing no off-flavor effects. The control has already cleared with two of the major mint oil outlets in the country. Horner says the disease, a na tive of Oregon, last year made its most serious inroads in the state since it first became a problem four years ago. Damage was highest in Columbia county where up to 60 per cent of production was lost. BIRKENFELD—Shirley White is in Seattle training to be a dental assistant. Mr. and Mrs. Cloic?
