E very fu m ily can help ease the
crunch of the energy crisis,
rem inds Carol A Ashley, Col
umbiu County extension agent
Because the state’s energy is
lim ite d , the fa m ily should con
serve it in everyw ay it can
F am ilies help themselves, too,
by saving on e lectric bills, Mrs
Ashley notes. And if the price of
natural resources increases as
predicted, fam ilies w ith good
habits in using e le c tric ity w ill
save even more
A general rule fo r a ll to follow
is turning o ff lights that are not
in use While this shortens the
life of the bulb, saving e le ctricity
is of fa r greater importance
rig h t now
Mrs Ashley suggests using
floureseent lights in areas that
are used often, such as hallways
or work ureas A floureseent
light gives o ff more light per
watt than an incandescent hulh
"The colors in a room also
affect the lig h tin g ," says Mrs
Ashley "A lig h t, textured ceil
mg w ill reflect light and diffuse
it to the rest of the room.
Light-colored w alls and floors
absorb less light than medium
and d a rke r colors
Window
treatm ent should allow as much
daylight as possible into u room
Lam p shades should be light in
color and translucent to make
the best use of what you’re
pitying fo r ," she adds
To get the most light from
bulbs, be sure they are dusted
re gularly. And discard
any
blackened bulbs—since t h e y
may reduce lig h t as much as 60
percent.
T ra d itio n ally, l.loyd Center's
holiday decorations have fea
tured a b rillia n t display of 70,000
tw in klin g lights 15.000 seven and
one-half watt lights norm ally
radiated from the giant Christ
mas tree on the Central Plaza.
Another 15.000 highlighted the
malls and exterior areas of the
center. More than 15 miles of
w irin g were required to supply
e le ctrica l current to light the
display
In evaluating the electrical
energy shortage last August,
w hile finalizing plans fo r the
ce n te r’s fourteenth Christm as
season. lJoyd Center officials
decided to do away w ith Christ
mas lights as a com m ittm ent to
the public.
In foregoing the distinctive
display of 70,«X) lights. Lloyd
Center is able to save more than
246.(MX) kilow at hours during the
Christm as season This savings,
equated w ith u tility company
figures indicating the average
amount of power used to light
homes in the Northwest, means
enough power is being conserved
to light 1,636 homes during the
same period
This seasonal reduction in
power consumption is acconi
pained by the center's on-going
conservation effort In addition
to turning off 243 illum inated
advertising signs. Lloyd Center
has managed to substantially
reduce in-store power usage
On Friday . November 23, w ith
the o fficia l opening of the Christ
mas shopping season underway,
Lloyd Center w ill unveil one of
the most spectacular Christmas
settings in the nation
A 93-foot Christmas tree has
been decorated in the Central
Plaza w ith a h a lf m ile of w hite
garland. Afixed at the top of the
giant tree is a six-foot garland
covered star.
Below the tree and near the
ice rin k Alpenrose’s Storybook
Lane inhabited by live nursery
rhym e anim als w ill be open for
public viewing
In addition,
specially designed Christmas
displays are located in the malls
and over the ice rin k

A tra in in g Seminar for Volun
teer workers was held Nov 14 to
discuss the procedure used in
events of crisis, emergencies
and other types of calls
the
on-call volunteer receive w ork
ing for H ELP Inc
To some ca lle r a crisis is being
out of food where others consider
only a suiside call to be a crisis
What ever the need be. the caller
feels he is in a crisis and the need
is an emergency to him . and all
calls are treated as such
In attendance for the seminar
were 33 volunteers from all
areas in Columbia County, three
H ELP sta ff person and three
volunteers from the Portland
N.E Hot Line
New and old ideas were ex
changed throughout the day and
role playing was used as an
im portant part of training v o l
unteers how to handle call of
crisis.
The Seminar was so well
received that others w ill be
scheduled and be offered in other
areas in Columbia County to
allow a ll volunteer workers to
participate
Eleven new volunteers were
signed up to w ork w ith H ELP
Inc. as on-call for transpor
tation. home helpers, visiting
shut-ins etc
If you have spare tim e on your
hands and want to be helpful call
H ELP Inc 397-3511 and become
a volunteer w orker, you are
needed by someone, urge m em
bers of the organization
Watch the paper for the next
Volunteer Seminar to be offered
soon
Engineering enrollm ents "a re
fin a lly on the increase a g a in "
and the big engineer shortage
predicted for the late 1970’s
might be eased if the strong
trend continues, says the dean of
engineering at Oregon State
U niversity.
"E ngineering graduates in the
last half of the decade w ill find
job opportunities com parable to
those following World War I I , "
according to Fred J Burgess
"T he demand is up and the
supply is down because of sig
n ific a n tly sm aller graduating
classes nationally
in recent
years.”
OSU’s engineering enrollm ent
of 1,849 this fa ll is 4.1 percent
above the 1,777 of a year ago
The 1970 total, however, was
2,045 and Burgess hopes regis
tra tio n w ill reach that level
again soon.
Signs of an engineering sh o rt
age
are
showing
already,
Burgess noted June 1973 grad
uates, for instance, found the job
m arket substantially improved
over 1972 Things look even
better for 1974 graduates, he
added More companies are
coming to the campus for inter
views w ith graduating seniors
already.
S tarting pay of the average
engineering graduate this year
was $922 a month
The U S has 219 accredited
schools-departments of engine
ering. OSU is the only one in
Oregon.

of
Portland w ill demonstrate the
various techniques fo r sculpting
a ll sorts of delightful objects and
then open the session for student
creations
"B akers clay is very easy to
w ork w ith .” M rs B ettendorf

pliable and yet holds its shape
A ll sorts of kitchen im plem ents
can be used to m ake patterns ”
A fte r creations are baked they
can be decorated w ith almost
any kind of paint or w ith
m arking pens, or clay can be

The second piece of legislation

Trucks, Etc.
To Be Limited
On Highways
Trucks, campers, buses and
vehicles w ith tra ile rs w ill have a
more lim ite d use of Oregon
highways as a result of action
taken by the Oregon Transpor
tation Commission.
The commission udopted a
new signing policy to im plem ent
legislation passed during the last
session of the législature* to con
tro l use of oversized vehicles and
im prove d rivin g safety.
Signs w ill soon be* installed by
the* Highway Division prohibit
ing vehicles of 6,000pounds gross
weight and more, trucks, cam
pers, buses and vehicles with
tra ile rs from using the extrem e
left lane* of a ll freeways and
highways which have thren* tra
vel lanes in the same direction
Such vehicles can only use the
extreme* left lane* when entering
or leaving the* highway, in the
case of emergencies, or when
otherwise directed.
The* new sign policy w ill also
re strict tru ck, camper, bus and
tra ile r use* of the* left lane* of all
divided highways having two
travel lanes in the* same* direc
tion to those* occasions when they
can do so without impeding
norm al tra ffic Trucks, campers
and buses and vehicles with
tra ile rs w ill lx* directed to use
the* rig h t lane in all other
instances
Fred Klaboe, a d m in istra tor of
the* Highway Division and state*
highway engineer, told the* Coni
mission that the* Legislative
Ways & Means Committee* had
directed that the* new re s tric
tions lx* posted and the Division
should conduct "before Hnd
a fte r" studies to determ ine the*
effectiveness of the restricted
use* law
Some building codes, which
were form uluted in a tim e of
energy abundance, have left us
w ith homes and offices which
m ight as well not have any door
on the hinges.
