The Lighter Side By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD --- Household hint columns are filled these days with things that need to be done, both indoors and out, in preparation for winter. Here's the final check list: ( ) Draining the goldfish. If you keep goldfish in an outdoor pond, you should take them out and drain them thoroughly during the fall. Hold by tails, heads down, and shake vigorously several times. 'Then suspend from a coathanger for 3 to 6 minutes. Prevents rusting. {( ) Dewrinkling prunes. Prunes keep better over the winter if the wrinkles are removed. To do this, carefully peel off the skins and soak for about 30 minutes in a lukewarm solution of three parts almond butter and one party dewberry yogurt. While the skins are still moist, press them between the pages of any good one-volume encyclopedia - of - taxidermy. When dry and smooth, replace skins around prunes. ( ) Winterizing boomerangs. Before boomerangs are put away for the winter, they should be dusted lightly with powdered uranium and wrapped in one or two layers of Chantilly lace. Otherwise, win- ter storage will cause them to lose their returnability. ( ) Garnishing Mozart busts. Busts of Mozart should be moved out of doors during the winter to preserve their weath- erbeaten look. Place them in a sheltered corner of terrace, patio, rock garden or sylvan dell where there ig 50 per cent sunlight or - less. - Garnish occasionally with - sprigs of heather. { ) Moisturized mothballs. In homes that lack proper humidification, excessive dry- ness may cause mothballs 'to flake and peel, possibly to the extent of creating structural damage. This can be prevented by splitting each mothball in half, hollowing out part of the center and placing a damp sponge in the hole. Then glue back together. For best results, moisten the sponge with five or six drops of corner valve lubricant. ( ) Utilizing bear traps. During the winter, when bears are hibernating, their traps can be put to many good uses around the home. Cracking chestnuts is one good use for bear traps. Or they may be used to hold flower arrangements. Or they may be used to keep vacuum cleaner cords from curling up in rainy weather. ( ) Saving autumn leaves. Rather than burning or discarding leaves, store them in the car trunk and they can be used against next autumn. Almanac F Today is Tuesday, Nov. 14, the 319th day of 1972 with 47 to follow.

Moin Street Medina, County of Orleans TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1972 Washington Window Average Can Help in Averting Power Disaster By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International There are things you as an individual can do to ease the impact and reduce the cost of America's growing energy shor - tage. The White House Office of Emergency Preparedness has been looking at the President's request for practical measures to conserve substantial quanti- ties of oil, gas and electric Samuels has New OTB Plans NEW YORK (UPD -Howard Samuels, president of the city's Off-Track Betting Corp., said Monday he would submit with- in a week a detailed plan for decentralizing OTB operations and spreading them throughout the state. Testifying before the gover- nor's Commission on the Future of Horse Racing, Samuels said the plan would be given to the. commission next week. \The substance of the plan,\ he said, \will provide for locally run OTB's which are serviced by a central public benefit corporation, which will provide computer and other services at the request of the municipality. \This will also allow OTB to be economically feasible for small - communities - while preserving | the decentralized nature of the municipal opera- tion,\ Samuels said. In his testimony, Samuels decried recent attacks on OTB by horsemen and said his opera- tion, now the \largest retail business in the city of New York,'\ represents \these new people, this potentially huge army of racegoers'\' attracted to the sport by the convenience of off-track betting. \The hot and the cold war between OTB and racing must be over,\ Samuels said. He also reiterated OTB's de- mand for television coverage of races, refused by the State Racing Commission, and said that _- TV... coverage . would increase the number of persons . betting with OTB to 250,000. & from 150,000. and government: a o 0 0 0.0 0000000 ele a *a\ \aac %n\ \0% O power. The search is spurred by alarming projections of U.S. energy consumption. Last year, we used 69 quadrillion BTU's. BTU stand for British Thermal Units, an international standard used by scientists to measure energy.) By 1980, without - vigorous conservation efforts, our energy consumption is expected to rise to 96 quadrillion BTU's, an increase of 39 per cent. . Even if our output of nuclear power grows at the fastest possible rate, most. of the increased energy demand would have to be met by importing larger quantities of oil from the Middle East. Reason to Cooperate The government wants to minimize our dependence on this source of energy because (1) it is costly and would lead to rises in consumer prices of such things as electricity and gasoline; (2) it would greatly aggravate - our international balance of payments (money-, outflow) problem; and (3) it would increase our military and diplomatic _ vulnerability in Mideast power maneuvers. So every American has reason to cooperate in energy conservation measures. Here are some suggestions by the Office of Emergency Prepared- ness (OEP) for individuals: -Use smaller automobiles, and keep them properly tuned and tired so that you get maximum mileage per gallon of gas. -Improve the insulation of your home; keep your furnace clean (or replace it if it's obsolete); add storm windows if needed, keep your thermostat at the most economical fuel-use level consistent with comfort. (If all homeowners would set their thermostats 2 degrees lower during the winter heating season and 2 degrees higher during the summer air condi- tioning season, the energy savings would be equivalent to 600,000 barrels of oil per day.) Other Suggestions The OEP also offers nume- rous energy conservation sug- gestions to business, industry eZerececeZece £20000 00200000008 ete ote Snowmobilers First, Good News And Then the Bad By DON OAKLEY Snowmobile owners will be happy to hear that: \Compaction materials caused by snowmobiles results in ficial conditions.\ of residual annual accumulations of plant highly bene- According to Dr. Dale Gleason, biologist at Lake Su- perior State College in speeds decomposition during nutrients This early greening in grouse, deer and many small a readier source of in the spring, tra-la. the first spring nutrition for rodents.

Until the experts make up their minds, wisest course would be to stick to designated snowmobile trails rather than go wandering off into the pristine wilderness. Any ecological damage caused by the contraptions would thus be kept to a minimum and the sport, as well, would be safer. Hey, Nader, Lookit This! The current advertising campaign for a certain make of automobile claims that the car is quieter at 60 m.p.h. than a glider flying at the same speed. This has been extremely painful for \glider'' enthusi- asts. Not because they lose in the decibel contest but because the aircraft pictured in the advertisement is clearly a sailplane, not a A glider is something glider. little kids throw around. It's what they used to drop troops on the Nasties in 1944. It's something the Germans pushed Off the sides of hills back in the 1920s. But a sailplane, which some would go so far as to claim has no equal as the art and technology, capable of soaring-of expression of a perfect conjoining of of form and function, is an aircraft rising higher launch and of staying in the air indefinitely, than its point of as long as its pilot can find a rising air current. Calling a sailplane a glider is like, LTD a jalopy. well, like calling an 'Odor Unit' Is Not an Aroma The Environmental Protection Agency is trying to come up with a way of measuring odor pollution. It proposes adoption of a test in which a panel of eight persons sniff air containing varying concentrations of some odiferous substance. When half the the odor, this constitutes on panel can detect e \odor unit.\ Presumably, a plant emitting too many '\odor units' would be subject to penalities. + Some critics as a Supreme %uestio_n how scientific such a test is. But ourt justice said in another connection, you may not be able to define obscenity but you sure know it when you see it-or in this case, smell it. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.) . -Shift intercity freight wher- ever practical from highway to rail. (Trucks consume more energy than trains per ton-mile of freight transported.) -Through taxes or rate changes, induce more intercity passengers to travel by train or bus instead of plane. Air travel is far less \energy- efficient\ than bus or train travel.) -Build or improve urban rapid transit systems as soon as possible and take whatever measures are needed to per- suade commuters to use transit rather than drive their own cars to and from work. If Americans took those and other steps to conserve energy, the OEP estimates that our need for foreign oil could be reduced as much as two-thirds by 1980. © File Features Interesting Bits Taken From Files of The Medina Daily Journal Medina Register Five Years Ago John Poler of Medina pur- chases the Penney Saver Supermarket in Lyndonville.
