Sr. Citizens Center having Birthday March 18 Rites are held
for Lou Hart
The Rev. Van Nickels
announced that there will be
an anniversary celebration
on Friday, March 18, at the
Senior Citizen Center. The
occasion marks the first
anniversary for Perkins
residents.
l'he building originally
was the Payne County
garage which housed county
equipment to be repaired• In
the latter part of December,
the building was turned over
to the Senior Citizen group.
Shortly after it was contract-
ed work began and the
Center became ready for
activity on March 19, 1976.
At this time. board members
were elected and by-laws
were drawn up. New board
members will be elected the
evening of March 18 for the
coming year, but the exact
time has not yet been
determined.
Immediately after the
Senior Citizens were organ-
ized, work, money, and time
were donated by interested
citizens of the Perkins
community, and the entire
interior was re-done. Two
new pool tables were
installed, two refrigerators,
an electric cook stove, and
more recently a large and
small kiln. Also, a new public
address system, two speak-
ers, three microphones and
an amplifier has been
purchased. These are a great
asset to the regular Monday
night entertainment provid-
ed by area residents which
make up the western band.
In addition, the building is
completely carpeted
throughout with available
rest rooms, smoking room,
and three air conditioners.
The anniversary celebra-
tion will be held at the
regular luncheon time, the
third Friday of the month. At
this regular monthly noon
meeting, all birthdays for the

Bathing-- Ash0wer uses refreshments provided by to thank the people of the plain hard work to make the
considerably less hot
water than a tub bath,
and you get just as clean.
Also, when shaving or •
washing at a basin, don't
leave the water running.
That just wastes hot water
you have to pay for.
Faucets -- If your faucets
leak, repair them quickly,
One drop each second adds
up to 200 gallons each
month. That's a lot of
hot water down the drain!

Washing -- Always try to
wash a.full load. This saves
both hot water and
electricity. If you must wash
a partial load, be sure to
select a water level to fit
the amount of clothes.
Whenever possible, use
cold water with cold water
detergents. This helps you
avoid needless overwashing
wherever cold water washing
can do an adequate job.
Temperatures -- Setting the
water heater thermostat
between 150-160 degrees
will give you the required
water temperature for
dishwashers and laundry.
Drying -- Don't overdry your
clothes. Not only does it
waste electricity, it also
sets wrinkles in the clothes.
Clean the lint filter after
each load. Be sure your
vent is to the outside to
save on air conditioning.
Electricity works hard for you all over the house.
Use it correctly and you will get even more done
-- for less.

feast on praise;
Fast from self.pity, and
feast on joy.
Fast from ill temper, and
feast on peace.
Fast from resentment, and
feast on contentment.
Fast from jealousy, and
feast on love.
Fast from pride and feast
on humility.
Fast from selfishness and
feast on service.
Fast from fear and feast on
faith.
