Super Crop of Fresh
Western Winter Pears
This year’s superior crop
of fresh Western winter
pears assures markets
nationwide of an abundant
supply of high quality Anjou,
Bose and Cornice pears for
enjoyment during the
months when fresh fruit is at
a minimum
Fresh winter pears keep
that right-from-thc-tree good
quality throughout the entire
season. Grown in the sunny
orchards of the Pacific coast
states, the pears are har
vested in the late summer
and early fall at an im
mature state and stored in a
controlled atmosphere until
they are marketed.
Often the pears are not
ripe when they reach the
markets. Winter pears can
easily be ripened at home by
keeping them at room
temperature until their flesh
yields to soft pressure. Thai,
they should be refrigerated
to retain their freshness.
Fresh pears are nutritious
as well as delicious. They
supplement diets with
Vitamin A and Vitamin C
along with important
minerals such as iron and
calcium. In addition, they
have a natural sugar content
demonstrate some of the
ways to enjoy this delicious
fruit.

Tips on Conserving
Hot Water
A hot water heater uses 15
percent of the energy con
sumed in the home. With
energy bills climbing, it’s
more important than ever to
offset some of this cost by
conserving hot water.
Lowering the water
temperature to 110 degrees
Fahrenheit could result in
considerable savings. But
sanitation experts say it’s
not the answer. Germs
-lurking on dirty clothes and
dishes can cause colds as
well as kidney, intestinal,
skin and respiratory in
fections. To control these
germs, you need 140 degrees

tanka one set at HO

and clothes and the other set
at 110 degrees for tub baths
and showers.
Save energy by reducing
the distance the hot water
must be piped. Locate each
tank near the place where
the hot water will be used.
Whether your home is new or
several years old, insulated
hot water pipes will further
cut heat losses.
Cut the amount of hot
water used for dishwashing,
laundering and bathing. The
key to energy-saving dish
washing is to always wash a
full load whether washing
by machine or in the sink.
When using a dishwasher,
consider skipping the dry
cycle. Use the no-dry buttom
or manually turn the dish
washer off after the final
rinse and let dishes air dry.
But do use the heat cycle to
sanitize dishes if there is an
illness in the family.
When machine laundering,
always wash a full load. If
the machine has a mini-cycle
use it for washing smaller
loads. Use cold water rinses
unless you need to sanitize
the clothes because of
illness. Even then, consider
substituting a chlorine
bleach or other disinfectant
to sanitize the laundry.
Changing the family’s
bathing habits can also save
hot water. You will spend
sßower instead of a dime for
an extended shower or tub
bath. And be sure to fix those
leaky faucets.

held March 11, 1976 at the
home of Mrs. Melvin Meek,
