saves you money.
Colder days mean you'll soon
be winterizing your car. When
compost instead of artificial
fertilizer in your garden next
spring you can save money—
you take it to the garage, why j and help conserve fuel that's
not ask for a tune-up as well as I needed to make the store-bought
anti-freeze? A well-tuned car
drives better — and saves gas!
Caulk and weatherstrip doors
and windows. This inexpensive
measure, which nearly anyone
can do, could reduce your family
heating bill by 10 per cent or
more!
When doing the family wash,
separate drying louds into heavy
and lightweight items. Since the
lighter ones take less drying
time, the dryer does not have to
be on as long for these loads
Wherever practical, use the
more efficient flourescent lights
in place oi incandescent lights.
One 40-watt flourescent tube
provides more light than three
60-watt incandescent bulbs —and
can save you about $10 per year
in electricity.
If public transportation isn't
available between your home and
place of work, try carpooling.
You’ll save in costs for auto
maintenance, and parking fees
as well as gasoline.
Reduce energy consumption in
cooking. Use pans that entirely
cover the heating element. This
way more heat enters the pot
and less is lost to the surround-
ing air.
To save energy during vacations
or extended absences from home,
empty your refrigerator, dis-
a heavily grazed, slicked off pas-
ture, readily runs off and carries
soil with it, — thus only a smaT
percertaee of the available wa-
ter is used.
"By moderately using range-
land, there will be ample grazing
for the domestic livestock, and
also plenty of selective food such
as weeds and woody plants for
wildlife. Weed seed, acorns and
berries make good wildlife food.
Trees, brush, weeds, and tall
grass provide needed cover, pro-
tection, and places for nesting.
"For assistance and informa-
tion on managing rangeland
please call on the Bosque Soil
and Water Conservation District
and the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice,” the statement advises.

kind.
Do as much household clearing
as possible in cold water. This
saves energy — besides, ome
cleaning products are actually
designed to work better in cold
water..
Get the most lighting from the
electricity you use. Keep lamps
and lighting fixtures clean—dirt
absorbs light.
If you live in a mobile home,
or a raised house without founda-
tion or basement, protect it from
cold winds by installing “skirts”
around the exposed base. This
will prevent drafts through the
floor and save on fuel bills.
Check the seals around your
refrigerator or oven doors. If
they aren’t tight, adjust the
latch or replace the seal to pre-
vent loss of chilled or heated
air — and save energy!
Install a flow estricler in
your shower. It’s easy to install
and saves water by restricting
the flow to 4 gallons per minute
—plenty adequate for showering.
Remember: Using more hot wa-
ter than you really need wastes
energy — and costs you money
If you use electric heating,
consider a heat pump system.
The heat pump uses outside air
in both heating and cooling and
can cut electric heating cosis
by as much as 60 per cent
Always remember to close the
damper when your fireplace
isn't in use. An open damper re-
sults in loss of heated room air
—and higher fuel bills.
Install storm windows and
doors. They help reduce your
fuel bills by up to 15 per cent—
enough to pay back your invest-
ment in them after only a few
seasons use.
During the daytime, take ad-
vantage of heat from the sun by
leaving window curtains and
draperies open on the sunny
side. Close them at night to help
minimize heat loss.
For comfort in cooler indoor
temperatures, use the best insu-
lation of all — warm clothing.
For multiple light fixtures, re-
move one bulb out of three, and
replace it with a burned-out bulb
for safety. By following this
simple step, and by replacing
bulbs with ones having lower
wattage, you may save up to 4
per cent on your electric, bill
, &ave electricity by allowing
| dishes to air dry. After the final
rinse cycle, turn off your dish-
washer, open the door and let
dishes stand until they are drain-
ed and dry.
When decorating, use light
colors for walls, rugs, draperies,
and other furnishings. This will
reduce the amount of artificial
light you need—and save energy!
Remove unnecesary weight
from your car by cleaning out
the trunk and passenger com-
partment. he lighter the car, the
less gas it uses.
Dust or vacuum radiator sur-
faces frequently A layer of dust
on the radiators will block trans-
fer of heat into the room — and
waste fuel.
Reduce your driving mileage
by combining shopping and com-
mutihg trips. You’ll save gaso-
line—and probably time as well!
Lower your thermostat to 85-
68 degrees during the day and
60 degrees at night. If these
settings are six degrees lower
than those maintained last year,
you could save up to 15 per cent
in heating costs.
annual deductible for both 1074
and 1975 under the "carryover”
provision of Medicare medical
insurance, according fo A1 Brac-
ken, social security district man-
ager in Waco.
Medicare medical insurance
doesn’t pay the first $60 in cov-
ered medical expenses in a cal-
endar year.
“But people who haven’t had
covered expenses over $60 before
October should be sure to send
in all bills for covered services
they receive in October, Novem-
ber, or December," Bracken said
"Any expenses you have dur-
ing the last three months of the
year that can be counted toward
your deductible for that year
can also be counted toward the
deductible for the next year,” he
said.
The carryover rule helps peo-
ple who might otherwise have to
pay the $60 deductible twice in
a short period of time — at the
end of one year and at the be-
ginning of the next year, Bracken
explained.
Bills for covered medical serv
ices should be attached 1o a

Did You Know...
The Department of Labor ex-
pects the number of business
machine service-workers to
grow rapidly due to an antici-
pated increase in the use of
many types of office machines
and more complex equipment re-
quiring increased maintenance.
The Labor Department reports
that competition for entrance into
medical school is becoming in-
creasingly keen. In 1973, there
were about 40.000 applicants for
only 14,000 openings.
In its first year, the Labor De-
partment's WIN II Program—
an effort that stresses immediate
jobs for welfare recipients —
registered about 1.28 million wel-
fare recipients, screened 525,000
to determine their job potential,
and placed 142,000 in unsubsi-
dized jobs.
The U. S. Department of Labor
reports that nearly 4.3 million
workers held two or more jobs
at the same time in May, 1973.
