heating-dollar leaks

Storm windows and doors are important, too. They can cut
in half heat losses through existing glass windows.
Repair any glass panes that are broken. If you add
storm windows and doors, they should pay for
themselves in heating savings in less than 10 years.

Everything seems so struc
tured these days. To take a walk
through autumn splendor you
should belong to a hiking club or a
scout troop - or so it seems.
Cindy and I were hunting paw

we found were trees and no fruit.
There are many ways Jo reduce home heating costs...
adequate insulation is on? of the best. It can save you as much
as one-third on your heating bill. Ideally, it's having insulation
at least 6" thick in the ceiling and 3Vz" in the walls.
Simply adding insulation to your attic is a giant savings step . ..
one that you can take yourself. For example, adding just 2 1 /z"
to an uninsulated 1,000-square-foot attic floor can save
approximately $9B each heating season. The one-time cost
of this insulation is about $7O.
Even if your attic ]s, insulated at present, bringing it up to 6"
is a good investment that can quickly pay for itself.

| B Otßa "Electricity is our product ... conserving energy resources is our concern."
A class at school has outlined a
program to study older people in
the community and especially to
visit an old folks home. Again this
is planned instead of being a
spontaneous thing which goes
along with family living. As a
child, I had a grandmother who
lived with us and we knew how
older people differed from
younger ones without going en
masse to a retirement home.
Maybe I’ve just become ac
customed to life on a farm with
all the unexpected happenings
that it produces and so feel
rebellious toward a regimented
life with all its appointments and
engagements.

Earlier this year we got a new

lacked the excitement of getting
our first new car almost lO years
ago.
At that time, we flew from
Lancaster to Detroit, Mich, and

lobster enroute was also a new
experience. We visited my sister
in Lansing and then drove
straight home. We made the trip
of 600 miles in a flat 10 hours.
This locally purchased car has
even developed little ailments
like windows that won’t turn up
and when one considers the price,
we do expect better performance.
However, we don’t plan to
advertise the price like one car
which I saw in our church
parking lot this summer. There,
in the middle of the window, was
the typed specification sheet
listing the total price paid.
