38—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 6, 1973
i
it*
Heigh, ho, and it’s off to the fair
we go. There are many local fairs
but we decided to take our
children to the Bloomsburg Fair
for a days vacation from school.
Philip was"" quite enthusiastic
about all the new machinery and
tractors. He colledted an ample
supply of pamphlets and folders
to read on the way home Cindy
and I enjoyed all the flowers,
canned goods and fancywork.
Even Allen was impressed with
the blue ribbon field squash - it
weighed 399 pounds! I wonder
how they handled it 9
The many Grange exhibits
attracted a great deal of attention
as they displayed such a large
variety of fruits, seeds,
vegetables and nuts. They all
stressed the bounteous harvest
and had a Bible as the focal point
My daughter was surprised to
see the many kinds of meat which
had been canned -- beef heart,,
sausage, and chicken. We freeze
almost all of our meat at the
present time
There was a big crowd at the
Fair and it was a good day for
“people watchers.” Folks sat on
the benches to rest and watch the
flood of humanity passing by If
you were thin you could see
someone thinner, if you were fat

you could see someone fatter and
if you were crippled you could
find womeone who was in even
worse shape
After peering through the fence
at a few horse races, we left for
home and a pleasant drive
through woods that are beginning
to turn red and yellow.

We think we’ve had a problem
this year as we had to buy two
new freezers and rent a locker
due to unexpected butchering of
some animals But you should
hear our son Jeffrey’s story
He bought an old chest freezer
at a sale for $7.50 Then, he
bought a side of beef and I
wrapped it for him He even
rolled up a BIG steak and marked
it “groundhog” just to fool the
guys m his apartment at Penn
State.
-He got a friend from
Doylestown with a truck to take it
to State College. The fellows
earned it to the second floor
apartment and then within a few
weeks it quit working and was too
expensive to repair.
Now they must drive 30 miles to
a town with a locker plant.
Fix-It Tip
Assuming the furnace you
have is the right size for your
house and that it was installed
properly, if you are not get
ting adequate heat then the
heating plant is not operating
at maximum efficiency.
Properly weatherstripped
doors and windows, storm
sashes on all windows and a
calked house can keep a lot of
heat inside. An adjustment
and cleaning by a professional
every year will help keep fuel
costs down and the house
warmer.
Establish a comfortable
thermostat setting, 70 or 72
during the day and four de
grees lower at night. Settings
lower than that will cause the
furnace to burn extra fuel
trying to reheat a cold house
in the morning.
QUESTIONS PP&L CUSTOMERS ARE ASKING
Why must
PP&L keep
building
new plants
and lines?
kmmr
The only facilities being built by PP&L are those required
to adequately care for the growing power needs of its
consumers. New families are being formed every day.
New homes and schools are being built every year.
More and more electricity is needed to power air cleaning,
sewerage and other pollution control equipment All this
means increased power demands and PP&L must
have electricity ready and waiting when users want it.
PP&L can’t tell people to stop using electricity. But
PP&L could and did, some time ago, stop promoting
greater use. In fact, present communications efforts
are directed toward informing people how to get the
most out of the electricity they do ask for.
Conserving energy is not only essential in these
days of dwindling resources but a way for
consumers to hold down their electric bills.
