Sizes 36 40 From $4795 Preparations For Winter The saying that “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it’”’ doesn’t apply to Pacific Gas and Electric Company. It has an extensive program, particularly among its hydroelectric and power maintenance forces. Long before the first dark grey clouds begin frowning over the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Ranges, t#é turning calendars at myriad PG&E locations summon a wide variety of annual preparations into action. Within recent weeks, for example, the “getting-ready-forwinter” routines have sent men penetrating remote mountain areas so that— —Anti-freeze fluid will snow gauges: functioning —Stand-by engines are fueled to keep mountain-top communications relay points operating if storms break the electric supply —Emergency cabins are stocked with food, fuel and warm bedding for. linemen, patrolmen, snow surveyors or others who work in stormy weather. ~—Earth movers and snow machinery are on hand to fight slides —Heating devices will keep rain gauges from freezing a ——Oil will prevent the freezing o air valves that protect penstocks against collapse should water be blocked from sweeping down through the huge pipes to powerhouses. _ Many are the other routine jobs of preparedness, all aimed at keeping electric—and gas— supplies adequate when the public needs them the most. Winter radiator fluid is distributed in as keep much as hundred-gallon lots for PG&E vehicles operating in low temperature areas. A special alcohol dripping in gas transmission mains will prevent ice crystals from forming inside the pipe. Several hundred snowshoes and skis have been re-finished and distributed. Snow tires and tire chains have been placed where needed. Canals have been lowered or drained for’regular maintenance. Backwoods roads have been smoothed and their gutters and culverts cleared to lessen the possibility. of washouts — even those roads which, with good luck, won’t have to be used before next spring. Extra reels. of power lines, spare poles. and.crossarms, and the “pole hardware” needed to install replacements,-are stocked at strategically locatéd warehouses where they can be collected quickly when high winds and rainsoaked earth combine to fell trees across power fines or whip the lines apart. In remote canyons, along whose walls canals transport water, lumber is floated to storage points for use in the event of winter damage to thecanals. U e @ “Children should be seen @ and not heard”.

FOR WORK, NOT FUN!—When these and scores of other snowshoes are worn, they are used by PG&E power line patrolmen, Balch Camp, in the Kings River Canyon. Heat Tips Here’s a list of ways by which PG&E suggests you can stretch your heating dollar farther: —Keep your. drapes or curtains drawn over windows whenever they’re not needed for outside light. Glass allows heat,to escape from a room to the outside. —For year-round economy, long runs of hot water pipes can be insulated. —The fire place flue should be closed when the fireplace is not in use. Much heat can be drawn up the chimney otherwise.
—Setting your furnace therFor example, the furnace won’t heat the house or room up to 70 degrees any faster by setting it: at 80. If you set it at 80, you will overheat and waste fuel. —Reducing the heat a few degrees while you sleep saves money. Leaving the furnace on at a reduced thermostat setting will save fuel and still will provide comfort overnight. A setting of about six degrees below normal is recommended. The thermostat needs to be returned only to its normal setting in the morning. —Don’t leave windows or doors open when the furnace is on. If you want to ventilate a room, close the furnace outlet there and shut the door to close the room off from the rest of the house. —Some furnaces and heaters are too small for the area they are meant to serve. If you can’t get sufficient warmth, see your furnace man. —Kitchen fans can pull much heat from a house, so open a kitchen window slightly when the fan is in use. —Repair any léaky hot water faucets. One can waste up to 40 cents worth of heated water in a month. mostat too high is not efficient.” cademy etry, Nationwide reaearch and post-graduate educational gganzation in the field of . _° Optometric science. : Dr. Patterson has been attending a number of the 85 post-graduate courses of the Academy which got underway Dec.7 at the, Sheraton PalaceHotel.
