apartment windows are not equip

them with plastic. Plastic over the
window works well as a storm
window and is affordable. Plastic
will pay for itself in one month’s
time.
Put rope caulking around win

the window pane. Use drapes and
window shades to insulate around
windows. If these are out of your
budget, hang anything, blankets

Another tip that won’t cost you
anything is to keep radiators and
heating elements free from dust.
Dust acts to insulate and restrict
heat circulation. Take off radiator
covers that serve only an aesthetic
purpose; they restrain heat from
circulating freely into the room.
Move your furniture away from
radiators.
A pan of water near the
radiator will increase humidity
which will make a lower
temperature ore comfortable.
Shulman will be speaking at 8
p.m. and will read and discuss
passages from work she is current
ly writing. There will be a recep
tion afterwards. Shulman’s lec
ture is sponsored by the Mary
Behrend Fund.

Heating water is the other
largest expenditure of energy.
Mrs. MasteUer offered these tips:
If you have access to it, turn
down the hot water heater. A
temperature of 120 degrees is suf
ficient for most purposes.
When boiling water, don’t boil
more than you need. Also, put a
cover on the pan, you will use
one-third less, energy if you do.
