The Bright Side Of
The Fuel Shortage
Temperatures are dropping.
Gasoline is being curtailed.
Supplies of electricity, heat
ing oil and other fuels are
dwindling In view of these
circumstances, many people
seem depressed But did you
ever think of the brighter
side of the energy crisis 7
Now you don’t have to
travel for hours to Aunt
Tillie’s foi an entertaining af
ternoon or evening of fun.
Fueling your imagination, you
can have a great lime in your
own home or in the surround
ing area
You can, for example, play
a game of Monopoly or Go
Fish silling right around your
kitchen 01 living room table.
When you do, lamily ftm--as
well as energy conservation
is definitely in the offing
Play highly entertaining
phonograph records from ex
citing artists like Bette Midler
or Carly Simon on the Warner
Communications Inc , record
company labels
Or how about a lamily sing
as members gather around
the piano and the family
pianist plays the latest sheet
music hits 9
