Ifyou are, rest assured the city of Spokane is making an effort to find a place for you to unroll it and get a good night's sleep—among friends, thou- -sands of them. The Spokane Park Board has authorized a group of . ‘youngsters in Spokane to look into the feasibility of setting up ‘a “Youth Hostel” in Glover : Field, an open area in Peaceful ‘Valley on the Spokane River ‘near the fairgrounds. “We want to provide a central place for the thousands ‘of kids we know will ride their thumbs to Expo '74," said Roger Jones, head of the youth committee. He said the hostel will have food, health and security services, and backpackers will probably be charged a small fee. Spokane's problem be- tween now and fair time (it opens May 4, closes Nov. 3) is to figure out ways to raise funds to finance the hostel. orlater you'll” plant them. Why not NOW!

You'll have plenty to show off from our selection of plump 'n perfect Dutch bulbs, guaranteed to bloom and most reasonably priced utility bills, Too-high bills (at least in the eyes and pocketbook of the consumer) can, however, be a year-round problem. While the utilities have been promoting and to some extent still continue to promote the increased use of gas and electricity, worries about en- ergy shortages have tempered this use-more trend. . Now, there's a bit more emphasis being given to what one can do to cut down on the use of energy. Individual home energy use is minimal in the over-all picture, but taken basement may also. be’ false economy: “A cold basement results in a cold floor upstairs. Normally, you feel comfortable in the main part of the house at about 68 degrees. If the floor is cold, however, you tend to turn the heat up to about 76 to feel comfortable, and every degree over 70 increases the ‘fuel. consumption by about five per cent,” Where else does. your money slip away? Color television and in- stanton black-and-white tele- vision both use significantly more electricity than conven- tional black and white. Similarly,’ a frostfree re- frigerator uses about twice as much power as an ordinary or de- creases do show. Most. people are more concerned with their individu: bills than with making signifi- cant cutbacks for the sake of any energy crisis. Short of moving into a forest cabin with wood stove for heat and candles for light, it is difficult to. effect any drastic reduction’ in the use of gas, electricity and oil. But there are everyday things you can do to help keep your utility bills from soaring out of sight, no matter what your motivation, B.C. Hydro has come up with some helpful hints on how . to stretch your daily electricity and gas dollars, and for thase of you who heat with oil, the ideas are equally applicable. “High bills are a common coniplaint," says Hydro, “al- though they are received from a very small percentage of customers. When such a complaint is received, a Hydro representa- tive checks the number of appliances: used and the fre- quency of use. Usually, the customer is surprised at the amount..of work done by appliances powered by electri- city or gas.” I know that when we were looking into the cost of the use of our electric dryer or the cost of each use of a self-cleaning . oven, the individual amounts ‘were small enough, But added all ‘ together, over a month, the amount built up surprisingly quickly. “IL is possible to help reduce their service Try Malitlevol- after the grippe Tommy Biln — Corner of Pine Street and Columbia Avenue — Phone 365-7813 Open Monday ‘to Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. - Sunday and Holiday Hours: 12 noon to 1 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m. bills by. pointing out the significant effect of dripping taps on water heating costs, or the effect of dirty fillers or open fireplace dampers on heating ensts,” says’ Hydro, “Furnace filters should be examined every two or three months and replaced at least every six months. (The problem is often particularly acute ina new house.) “It is important to realize, too, that if a dirty filler is removed, and. not replaced, there is a real danger that dust may penetrate the furnace fan motor and cause it to seize up. - “Similarly, it doesn't make sense to. spend a substantial The same applies to frost-free freezers. Most furnace thermostats don't turn off completely, and the furnace may come on during the night. Freezers and refrigerators continue to func- tion, Instant-on television sets continue to use power because the tubes remain heated. .~ Don't be fooled into cutting off all power. Consider each power-use separalely; then you'll unplug the television and Driver Charged After. Vehicle Hits Lamp Pole Damage to a 1956 model car was eslimated at $600 early Saturday morning when: it struck a lamp standard in the Castleaird Plaza parking lot in Kinnaird. Driver was identified as. 19-year-old Alfred C. (Sonny) MacAlpine of Castlegar, who has been charged with driving shut off the water healer bul’ leave on the refrigerator and freezer if they contain food. Closing curtains at night to relain inside heat is fine, but when you go on holiday, you might want to adjust your drapes according to this infor- mation from Hydro: “During winter holidays, one reason for lack of saving is that if curtains and drapes are left closed, the benefit of solar heat during the daytime is lost. If they are left open, the advantage of added insulation over window glass during colder night hours is elimin- ated,” If you feet your meter is recording inaccurately, most utilities will. have them in- depently tested for you, after pointing out that the meters are inspected and sealed by the federal department of con- sumer affairs. But it’s usually a gamble, for B.C.-Hydro will pick up the tab for the removal and testing only if the meter was indeed reading too high. If it is reported accurate, you foot the bill. “And,” points out Hydro, “if a meter isn’t working properly, it’s almost invariably running slow or has stopped.” On remodelling, renovat- ing or new construction, make sure you contac Hydro on projects that come anywhere near external power lines. “A swimming pool, carport and sundeck must be kept clear of service lines. Aluminum gutters, normally deeper than wooden ones, can sometimes require that the service con- nection to the house must be moved. “Since adjustments of this kind are made at the home- owner's expense, they can without due care and Damage to the lamp standard has not been esl mated.
