Fix Leaks. Better Insulation
By BERTHA B. FORTE
Home Extension Agent
Leaky windows and doors
can undo most of the good
you may have done by insulating
ceilings, floors, and
walls.
In fact, ct»3 heat lost
through such little cracks
and crevices can total more
than that lost through all
those insulated surfaces.
Yet these cracks are much
less expensive to chink when
it comes to controlling heat
losses.
Weather stripping is the
answer. It comes in various
forms ranging from an
inexpensive felt type to a
combination aluminumvinyl
type.
The less costly ones may
last two to five years while
the more costly ones, up to
ten years.
The use of weather
stripping can cut heating

costs as much as a fourth,
for the energy conscious
home owner, that means
quite a savings both in
energy - and in pocket
money.
Installation methods
vary. With windows, it may
be an inside job - or an
outside job. But with doors,.
the stripping is ordinarily
put on the outside.
There's still time to
"strip" those leaky doors
and windows to keep the
cold out — and the warm in.
Yrj*'l save money and be
eiuvgy conscious at the
same time.
On cold days, a space
heater can provide the extra
heat you need to keep a
room warm.
But keep in mind that a
space heater can be dangerous
when used improperly.
Think safety whenever you
handle or use a room heater.
For example, have old or
seldom-used heaters checked
by a professional service
person before using. If your
heater has a higher-thanusual
wattage, have an
electrician check the room
wiring to make sure it can
handle the heater.
If at all possible, plug in
your heater without an
extension cord. If an
extension cord is a must,
buy a heavy duty one from
an electrical supply store.
Where you put your space
heater is another key to
safety. Don't put it in
walking areas or near
furniture, draperies or other
fabrics that might catch
fire.
Use an electric heater
only if it has a thermostat
control and will turn off if
tipped over.
Be sure to warn youngsters
not to touch any part of
the heater. It adds up to this.
If you do use a space heater
to keep warm, do all you can
to keep safe, too.
