If you arc visiting Oregon
State Parks this summer, you
may be one of 45.000 people

the adequacy of State Park
facilities.

Parks Branch is continually
working to improve park
programs, and needs to know
how visitors are reacting to
the prevent level of park
services and facilities Talbot
says, "it is highly important
that planning, design, de
velopmenL and operation of
State Parks be related in a
most positive wav to people
David Talbot. State Parks
Superintendent, announced
today that the Parks Branch
will be conducting interviews
at .16 State Parks throughout
Oregon during the remaining
summer months of July and
August. The interviews arc
designed to gather informs
lion on the origin of park
ami their recreational needs
and interests."
The State Parks Visitor
Survey has been conducted
on two previous occasions, in
1964 and 1969 According to
Talbot, answers received
from the public have had a
direct bearing on State policy
concerning acquisition, de­
velopment. and operation of

he said, "park planners can
better interpret visitor-ac­
tivity patterns, recreation
and leisure time preference^

Residents See
Apollo Blast-Off
Two Nyssa residents, Mrs.
Adriana Kunkel and her son
John, got a first-hand look at
■history in the making last
week when they were in Cape
Canaveral. Florida, with a
Boise State University group
to eyewitness America’s
Apollo craft blast into space
toward its meeting with
Russia's Soyuz.
The blast-off climaxed four
days of educational activities
for the 96 people who were in
BSU's
"classroom in the
sky” workshop. The class,
worth Boise State academic
credit, was organized espe­
cially to study the Apollo
mission.
While at Cape Canaveral
the Kunkels heard talks from
space experts and toured the
Kennedy Space Center. Clo­
ser to launch time, they were
given detailed information
about the mission by scien­
tists who had experiments on
the flight.
Another highlight of the
trip was a talk by rocket
pioneer Dr. Werner Von
Braun
Tour leader Tom Campbell
said the group had an
"excellent” view of the
launch from the Kennedy
Space Center. He noted that
NASA scientists were "very
excited' about the Ameri­
can-Russian docking
The
political aspects of the
venture were played down
and NASA officials expected
many scientific benefits from
the flight, he commented.
Campbell, who also led a
BSU group to see the Skylah
project two years ago, said
there was more enthusiasm
for the Apollo launch. "A lot
more people watched and
cheered than at the Skylab
blast-off."
noted.
The group left July 11 and
returned by United Airlines
charter July 16.
Campbell said the group
was a good cross-section of
students and teachers repre­
senting four Western states,
as well as Idaho.
While on the trip. Mrs.
Kunkel and John visited both
Disnev World and Sea World
near Orlando, Florida.

Energy Independence
begins at home
.America's independence from foreign energy sources
begins at home — your home.
It all depends on how conscientious each of us is about
things like insulation, weatherstripping and caulking our homes
and practicing wise energy use in our daily lives
The Federal Energy Administration says cooling and heal
ing homes consumes about 11 percent of all the energy the
United States uses in a year.
According to the same agency, insulation can increase
temperature-control efficiency for heating and cooling by as
much as 20 to 30 percent. Caulking and weatherstripping can
reduce a family’s energy consumption by 10 percent or more.
Call Idaho Power for help in getting greater energy effi­
ciency in your home. One of our Energy Advisers will be glad to
visit your home (or your place of business) and suggest ways
you can make the energy you use go further His advice is free.
