Johnson. Purdue university extension agricultural ( engineer "It isn’t that the single family's savings in power and fuel are so monumental (still it is noticeable)." says Johnson "It’s what happens when Americans

throughout the nation conserve." Encourage your family to become a part of the American effort to apply conservation practices Here’s a few ways a family can help itself and the nation: Tighten up your house. Use weather stripping wherever necessary. Heat loss from air leaks can increase a heating bill by one-fifth. Be sure your house is well insulated And check storm windows, basement windows and vents to see that they are closed tightly. Turn off lights, radios and television sets when they are not being used Family members sometimes become careless in this respect. These power uses, although minor in a tingle household and on a single day, can be mountainous when multiplied by millions of homes Take a shower instead of a tub bath and you'll save about five gallons of hot water . . and the energy to heat the water Close off unoccupied rooms and the registers in these rooms. Pull your window drapes and shades at night This will provide
added insulation and help keep the interior warm. Open these in the daytime to take advantage of the warm sunlight. Before retiring, turn your thermostat down to 66 degrees You’ll save a noticeable amount in heating expense over the month. Keep faucets in good condition. A leaky faucet wastes more water than you realize. If it is a t hot water faucet, you’re paying both for the water lost and the energy to heat more water. When cleaning dishes by hand, wash and rinse them in a pan. Washing them singly under running hot water consumes more water and more energy to heat the water. If a recipe calls for a preheated wen. confine your preheating time to 10 minutes. In most cases, this should be adequate. Use electrical appliances during non-peak load periods as much as possible. If thousands of families did this in every community. it would do much to even out the drain on energy Working together. Americans can conserve energy and resources. If we don't begin now, scarcity instead cf plenty may become our way of life
R. L. Rooker to attend CROP meeting Robert L. Rooker, Elkhart, national communications director of CROP, the Community Hunger Appeal of Church World Service, and editor of CROP’S bi monthly newspaper, is attending the United Nationssponsored World Food Conference in Rome from November 5 to 16 Mr. Rooker will be reporting back to CROP and its 18 regional offices on the daily progress of this landmark conference. The World Food Conference will seek to establish a method to help the underdeveloped nations finance food purchases; to urge developed countries to give money and technical assistance to help underdeveloped countries improve domestic production; and to create an international p-ain reserve system to prevent local famines. The importance of this conference is growing everyday. Recent United Nations* estimates affirm that 32 countries of the World are so poor and so short of food that their people are threatened with starvation. Recent famines in the African
Sahel and India have accentuated the need for global food reserves and international aid to ward off catastrophies. Leading the United Slates delegation to the conference will be Secretary of Agriculture Butz. Opening speaker at the conference will be Secretary of State Kissinger, who along with Addeke Boerma. head of Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, provided the original impetus for such a global meeting. Joining Butz in the U.S. delegation will be Ambassador Edward Martin and a group of senators and representatives. Observers from voluntary agencies within the United States concerned in the fight against world hunger will also be on hand. Among these agencies will be Church World Service, parent agency of CROP. Bread for the World. Lutheran World Relief and many others. Secretary General of the conference is Sayed Ahmed Marei, special assistant to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt. Tips for picture albums from specialist WEST LAFAYETTE - “A family picture album can really be lots of fun — in more ways than one." the specialist says A photography buff herself, she offers several suggestions for fun albums. Os course, good pictures are the backbone of a good album. Mrs. Holst says. Remember the basic rules of photography. For example, keep your camera ready and your film fresh “Think about the make up of your picture before you press the shutter release.” she stresses "Do you want a picture of the palm tree, cousin Sam. or both*’ If you want both, put Sam in the foreground and the tree behind him. , “If you put Sam under the tree, you end up with a nice picturg of the palm and a tiny, unrecognizable Sam " She suggests you check the backgrounds in your pictures. They should be free of clutter and distractions. And be sure that the background won’t cause unintended humor —a plant that seems to grow out of the subject ’s head, for example. Your album will be more fun to look at if it is well organized, she continues. If you arrange pic-. tures with care, your album can serve as a family journal or diary —a family history that will be fun to look at anytime.
I want my money back The dress you bought looked good in the store but when you got it home it didn't match your accessories. The rug you bought is 9 x 12 but the room turns out to be only 84 x 114. “1 want my money back.” might be your reaction. But the question is. can you expect an adjustment or a refund when it isn't the store’s fault that you are dissatisfied. It all depends on the individual store's policy, something you should check before you buy. Ask the clerk or the floor manager. Some stores post their exchange policy on the wall. However, there are certain rules of the road that most retail merchants follow. Usually, unless the merchandise is faulty or misrepresented, a store is not legally bound to give you a refund, an exchange or credit. However, most businessmen go out of their way to keep your business. So if you have made an honest error in judgment, mismeasured the space or have forgotten grandads shirt size, chances are they will exchange the merchandise and may even give you a refund or credit. But wise consumers don't abuse the privilege by trying to return something which has been used or soiled. Exchanges cost the store money and those costs are passed on to all customers — including the considerate ones — in the prices of the store’s merchandise. On the other hand, if the store makes an error or advertises the product to be something that it isn't, you have the legal right to receive an adjustment —a refund if you desire For example, you buy an oval coffee table but the delivery man brings a square lamp table. Or you buy what are labeled “full size" percale sheets that turn out to be too small for a full size bed. Watch out for merchandise offered in a "sale" or at special discount. Ask about the return policy. Very often “sale” merchandise is offered on a “no return" or “all sales final" basis. In retail language, that means that the store will not exchange or refund your purchase. The same is true of intimate apparel such as undergarments, shoes, bathing suits and lingerie. Most stores require some proof of purchase, so when you do return merchandise, take the sales slip or charge receipt with you If possible, return goods in their original package or wrapper. Take along any hang tags or labels that may have been attached. And be patient. Above
all, explain just why you are ' dissatisfied before demanding anything If the store does have an adjustment desk, ask to see the manager. The best way to be happy with what you buy is to buy carefully from a merchant you know you can trust to help you if you make an error Brooks gives report for October Van Burer township justice of the peace has released the following repot t for the month of October: Richard IS.
