Cookbook To
Conserve Energy
Conserving energy is now a
national priority.' Our wasteful
ways have to change..
Many people think that an extra
surge of energy is required every
time a light is turned on. They
conclude it saves energy to keep
the light on instead of turning if off
frequently when it is not being
used.
According to a recent issue of
Good Housekeeping Magazine,
every time .you turn a light off
instead of' keeping it on, there is a
saving • of energy.
Then there is the myth that small
kitchen applicances waste energy
and should be used infrequently.
On the contrary, appliances such as
electric grills, skillets and toaster
ovens . can actually save energy
when used instead of an electric
range to prepare meals. The ovens
preheat to the proper temperature
within only ten minutes, and
opening the oven door often wastes
energy, as the temperature drops
25 degrees.
Storm windows can cut energy
demands ie summer as well as
winter. • The dead air spate
between regular and storm wind-
ows is good insulation that can
cut air-conditioning demands. Air
filters in air conditioners and
furnaces should be checked at least
once a month. When they are dirty
they require more energy to
produce the right amounts of cold
or hot air.
Leaky faucets waste energy as
well as water. Just one drop of
water dripping each second from
one faucet wastes 700' gallons ,of
water each year. The energy
required to heat dripping hot water
also goes down the drain.

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
Armand is 13, tall and slim with blonde hair, brown .eyes and
fair skin. He is in good health and wears glasses for near-
sightedness.
French Canadian in descent, Armand speaks both French and
English, so he could fit into a home where either language is
spoken. A bilingual family would be ,ideal, but most vital is a
family full of warmth and love.
Armand lacks confidence in himself so the best thing for him
would be if he can become somebody's cherished son in a setting
where he will have brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins,
grandparents. With all those people to love him he will certainly
begin to feel he is a worthwhile person.
Armand is a slow learner; now in opportunity class. He is
doing better this • year than ever before and will take an 'oc-
cupations course in high school. He works well in school — with
a keen interest in woodworking, his ambition is to be a car-
penter.
Though he has been a loner, Armand has recently joined
Scouts where he thoroughly enjoys the program- and 'the
association with other boys.
Since Armand gets on well with children of -all ages, he can fit
into a family as the oldest, the youngest or somewhere in the
middle.
To inquire about adopting Armand, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
consult your local Children's Aid Society.
