On Gossip

A person who is new in town will
sometimes disparage an entire com-
munity if someone does not treat
him well. This is considered a form
of gossip.

Conservation Tips

What you can do to stop global warming.
1.Install outdoor automatic timers. Installing a timer can cut your outdoor
lighting energy use by up to half. It will turn your lights on in the evening
and off during the day. Or consider utilizing motion detectors that switch
on automatically when people or wildlife move close to them and switch off
again after a few minutes.
2. Keep bulbs and light fixtures clean. Dirty fixtures can reduce light inten-
sity by as much as 25 percent.
3. Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
4. Light-colored walls will reduce the amount of artificial lighting that you
will need.
5. Use skylights and natural lighting whenever possible to allow the sun to
provide your light.
