causes your refrigerator freezer
to work harder to maintain a
proper temperature Replace
worn door gaskets to prevent
cold air loss
2 Keep refngerator temperature
setting between 35° and 4( 1° -
freezer setting at 0°. (Use
thermometer to check )
3. Adjust temperature up 2° or 3°
if you'll be away several days
4. Don't leave door open
unnecessarily. Close quickly
5. Avoid overcrowding It restricts
cold air flow around food and
overworks unit
6. Cover all liquids placed in
frost-free units. (Moisture
causes frost and needless
defrosting.)
7. Keep condenser coils on back
and bottom of your refrigerator/
freezer free of dust for more
efficient operation.

Editorial . . . ,
Good News About America
“If you can imagine this entire world as a village of just 1,000
people ... you’d find: only 56 of them are Americans... but
they enjoy more freedom than any others and have half the total
income. The life expectancy of these Americans is 71 years
today, while the other 944 people have expectancy under 50
years.”
That salient fact comes compliments ol Walt Seitert, professor
of journalism at Ohio Stale University. Seifert was born in the
slums of Cleveland and has never forgotten his debt to America,
which gave him the freedom and opportunity to rise above his
humble beginnings. After painstaking research, the patriotic
professor suggests these answers to doomsayers who charge
America is heading downhill:
Charge: “Our poor get poorer.”
Answer: In 1970 we had 14 million fewer poor people than in
I960. By OEO (Office of Economic Opportunity) standards the
percent of poor dropped from 22 to 12 in 10 years.”
C: “Our small towns are dying.”
A: “Today we have 30 percent more small rural towns than 50
years ago.”
C: “The American farmer is going broke.”
A: “Our average net income per farm increased from $3,024 in
1964 to $9,271 in 1974 and farm assets more than doubled.”
C: “The arts are dying in America.”
A: “Today we support 1,500 symphony orchestras and 5,000
community theaters.”
C: “Our air is filthy today.”
A: “Facts are - it’s much cleaner than 50 years ago, when
every Ohio home belched coal smoke all winter and every street
had clouds of flies all summer.”
C: “Blacks aren't getting educated.”
A: “More blacks go to college here today than anywhere else
in the world. The total has doubled since I960 and keeps
increasing.”
There you have it - some of the reasons why America, by any
reasonable yardstick, remains the greatest country on earth.
