Board of Education members present at the ceremonies were President Gamaliel Broadley, Vice President James Scrivani, County Supertendent Malcolm MacEwan, William Touzour, Jr., and Ella B. Foster. Representing the Board of Freeholders and extending greetings from the County was Anthony Catanoso who as the Director of the

Energy Conservation

(From Page 1) about 18 percent less energy. Like to take baths? That costs more these days, too. If you shower instead, that will save about 2,000 gallons of water a year — and the fuel required to heat it. And puttii^ a $1 flow constricter in the shower head can save a family of four up to $40 a year. The easiest way of saving on hot water is by not using it to begin with. So don’t leave a faucet running; use cold water for laundering, and wait until the dishwasher or washing machine are full before switching them on. If a hot water faucet leaks, your money is going down the drain. One drop of water per second amoqnts to 650 gallons a y<hr. With that, you could run 59 loads of dirty clothes through the machine. And all It takes to stop th at drip is a five-cent washer. In the kitchen, if your stove is electric, turn off the element a couple of minutes before a dish is done; residual heat will finish the Job for nothing. And if you’re cooking with gas, check those pilot lights; if the flames are not bhie, they are costing you penny by penny. Boiling water in uncovered pots is a real energy k*er, but then so is using a little pot on a big burner. And use cold water for the waste disposal too; it couldn't care less. Then there’s lighting. In terms of today’s energy

prices, incandescent bulbs are downright primitive because about 90 percent of the energy they use goes intoheat, not light. Fluorescent fixtures and reflector bulb* are much cheaper to operate for a given amount of light, but if you are stuck, with incandescents, don’t wait for bulbs to burn out, but replace them as soon as they begin to get dim. Stay away from tinted bulbs and avoid “long-life’' bulbs because they are the most inefficient of aO. And where bright light is needed, one bulb may be better than two; for instance, one 100-watt bulb produces more light than two 60-watt bulbs. Each one dl theses tips may not only save you money, but will also help you bail the entire nation out of its energy Jam, which mav sound odd until you look at a couple of figures: If all American households cut the use of dishwashers by one load a week, the aggregate saving would total 3.25 million barrels of oil a year. And if all home hot water heaters were properly insulated, this could save 60,000 barrels of oil a day. That's almost 22 million barrels of oil a year, or a cut in the nation's trade deficit of $440million. All in all, energy conservation demonstrates the ant-and-elephant principle: How did the ant carry the elephant across the bridge? One bite at a time! . .
