The date for the Homemaker 78
Homemakers School is fast ap-
proaching. Debbie Rasmussen will be
arriving in town for this entertaining
and informative program to be held
the evening of April 13 in the Dallas
Junior High School Auditorium at 7:30
p.m.
The two and one-half hour program
will not onlyinclude recipe demon-
strations but will also provide an
opportunity to see the latest in home
appliances. Ms. Rasmussen,
professional lecturer and demon-
strator, stresses the importance of
energy conservation in the home.
Conservation of energy means
eliminating waste, not giving up
appliances. Ms. Rasmussen says it
means thinking twice about the use of
each appliance. For instance, by
before the food is cooked, the retained
heat in the oven will complete the
cooking or by keeping a well-stocked
refrigerator or freezer, less energy
will be needed for operation.
According to Ms. Rasmussen,
looking for new ways to conserve
energy in the home can be a fun
project for the whole family.

THURSDAY,
The Lake-Lehman
Symphonic Band under the
-,
Dallas-Shavertown Water Company
has filed a request with the Public
Utilities for a rate increase for the
Dallas and Noxen Water Companies,
according to Leonard (Wes) Venable,
manager of the company.
Company has had no increase during
the past four years despite continued
rige in inflation.
“The cost of labor, equipment and
materials has risen substantially and
we believe that we are entitled to a
reasonable increase. We need some
return on our investment,” said
Venable.
The requested 22 percent for the
Dallas company, for an average
family of four will mean an increase
from the present cost of ap-
proximately $87 annually to about
$106 annually. The company has 1500
customers.
The company also has requested an
increase of 41 percent for the Noxen
Water Company which services 120
customers. The total cost of the in-
crease for an average family of four
will be from the present $124 annually
to approximately $175 annually.
Venable said that the company has
spent $50,000 in capital improvements
for the Pallas Company in the past
year, and from $5,000 to $7,000 for the
Noxen Company.
The last increase granted for the
Noxen Company was two years ago
and since that time, two booster
pumps have been installed which
supplied customers with increased
water pressure. :
Both companies also have incurred

increased costs due to the higher rates
of UGI installations on the water
electric rate has increased from $1600
per month four years ago to $3500 per
month. In Noxen rates have in-
creaased from $40 to $50 per month to
over $200 per month.
Venable said that he has several
projects on the drawing board for the
Dallas Water Company
tying in deadend sections and
replacing mains which have been in
the ground 50 years or more, using
four inch mains instead of the one or
two inch now in place.
He also has a metering project
started for Noxen which will mean an
investment of $5,000 to $7,000.

It’s the season for burning, and
Dallas Borough Police Chief Edward
Lyons reminds borough residents that
open burning may not take place
without a permit and that the keeper
of the fire has responsibility both for
controlling it and for any damages
that may result.
Anyone wishing to burn waste or
other materials in the open must
secure a permit from either Chief
Lyons (675-0161) or Mayor James
Davies (675-4973), who have been
authorized by the Borough Council to
issue them.
A fine of $25 plus costs will be levied
against anyone failing to secure the
required permit.
Chief Lyons stresses, however, that
the securing of the permit leaves the
burner still responsible for providing
adequate control for the fire and for
any damages it causes.
