' Our Lady of Lourdes CWL receives 8300 donation Mrs. J.B. Salm presented her annual report on quilt- ing during a regular meet- ing at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Women‘s League. In her report she said 24 quilts were completed dur- ing an estimated 2,006 hours of work. She said she had sold' 19 quilts and four crib quilts with a gross profit of $1,000,. $300 of this was donated to the CWL. Mrs. Alma Sehl stated she had worked 18 hours sewing items for the Red Cross. The parish hard times dance will be held on Apr. 5 in the parish hall featur- ing the music of the Dixie- landers the OWL president Mrs. Helen Drago announc- Mrs. Rita Schnarr has donated a quilt which will be used as the main draw First of all, buy carefully and choose the size that suits your needs. A refri- gerator or freezer will oper- ate more economically when filled to capacity but not crammed with food. Electrical bills can be low The insidious thing is that you can see wasted food but you can't see wasted en- ergy. Kilowatt hours are frittered away quietly and invisibly leaving behind only a few dollar figures on your electric bill that could be lower. Take the refrigerator and freezer. for example. Both operate 12 to 14 hours a day. constantly drawing ttiectri- cal energy. Given proper care and use. however, they can be major energy savers. It's a good idea to make ure the appliance is not set to run colder than neces- sary. The manufacturer's manual will recommend the proper setting. When buying a used re- frigerator for checking the efficiency of the one you have nowl, test the rubber seal round the fridge and freezer door by closing the door on a sheet of paper. There should be a consider- able drag when you yank the paper out. If not. the seal is worn or badly fitting and should be replaced. Check When having the refriger- ator installed. keep in mind that it will use less energy if located away from heating equipment and direct sun- light. Also. allow enough space for air to circulate around the unit. 1975 GMC "RALLY" . . . the go-everywhere, versatile 12-passenger wagon . . . great tor sight-seeing traps. team or group transportatnon.

Convenor Mrs. Marion White is seeking tried and A badly sealed refriger- ator can allow air leaks that make the appliance work harder to keep a uniformly cold temperature. And that means higher operating costs in terms of kilowatt consumption. When the frost. in your freezer is about one-quarter- inch thick. it); time to de- frost. Frost wastes watts of cooling power by acting as an insulator. with the manufacturer for a Let hot foods cool down before storing in the fridge. Placing the hot pan or pot in cold water will reduce the temperatur quickly. By the way, frost-free refrigerators are great savers of your energy, but not of electricity. A stand- ard l4-cubic-foot refrigera- tor-freezer uses about 950 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity a year. A blocked condensate drain, for example. will cause build-up of ice on the coils and cut down on the cooling power. You might check the manufacturer's manual to find out exactly where the drain is located tit varies with various models), and make sure the drain is unclogged, A frost-free model of the same size uses about 1,500 kWh. That"s about 50 per cent more energy per year for this feature. A frost-free refrigerator does require attention to make sure it's not draining power unneces- sarilv. _ tnttreciprfortttettotA the members of their Vigil of Prayer for World Peace, and encouraged them to Wer one Holy Mass a mouth for peace in the home's. so that families may experience an interior re- newal with God during Holy Year. munced the retreats to be held at Mount Cenacle Re- treat House in Hamilton.
