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 SST? säkä - - ri L .> 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.
