Good Time To
Clean Thermostat
By Julie Bender
N. C. State University
Spring cleaning time is
also a good time to clean
your thermostat.
Remove the cover • and
blow away any dust that has
accumulated, urge specialists
with the North Carolina
Agricultural Extension Service.
They say this job should
be done at least once a year.
All thermostats for heating
and air conditioning
should be on an inside wall
or where they will not be
subject to drafts.
COOL AIR
If you're planning on
installing air conditioning
this spring, consider these
energy-saving recommendations
from specialists with
the North Carolina Agricultural
Extension Service.
Window air conditioners
should be placed on the cool
or north side of the house if
possible.
If you are installing
central air conditioning, the
compressor-condenser unit
located outside the home
should be shaded.
Also consider installing an
attic exhaust fan. This will
help to remove hot air from
the attic and help reduce the
cooling load of the air
conditioner.
COOLING TREAT
Sherbet and fruit combinations
makr a cooling
appetizer or dessert.
Specialists with the North
Carolina Agricultural Extension
Service suggest
these combinations: raspberry
sherbet with raspberries
or sliced peaches,
lemon sherbet with strawberries
or raspberries, lime
sherbet with crushed pineapple,
pineapple sherbet
with strawberries or orange
sherbet with sliced bananas
or crushed pineapple.
THOUGHT FOR
FOOb By GOULD CROOK
Scalloped Oyster*
Oysters are not very pretty
but they're delicious served in
many ways, raw or cooked.
Oyster* are at their best now, so
do scallop some now. They are
edible in the summer but not
nearly as good. Quick — frozen
oysters come in packages,
ready for use. Fresh oysters
may be purchased in the shells
or ready shucked.
1 pint fresh oysters
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
Cayenne and tobasco to taste
Salt to taste
1/3 cup butter
2-1/2 cups crushed crackers
Drain oysters. Line a shallow
baking dish with 1 cup of the
cracker crumbs. Put the oysters
on top of the crackers and
season with salt and cayenne.
Dot with half the butter and
cover with remaining crackers.
Mix tobasco with the milk and
cream and pour over all, barely
covering the oysters. Dot with
remaining butter and bake for
about 25 minutes in a preheated
400 degree oven. The oysters
should be puffy and the
crackers slightly browned.
Oysters should be baked
single layered so as not to be
overcooked.

Tip
from W. F. Farmer
Is polio licked? Certainly
not. The providential Salk
and Sabine vaccines have
had great success in immu- '
nizing against the dread disease.
But the three viruses
that cause paralytic polio
are still with us. All persons
not immunized against
polio, especially pre-school
children, are still vulnerable
to polio attack and should
immediately receive the polio
vaccines.
Health is precious

Giants To Sweep Sky
For Tomorrow's Power
ft modern generation of
giant machines that run on
air and make electricity
may help keep America
going as oil, gas, and coal
run out.
They're called windmills.
And already the world's
biggest - a 200-kilowatt
wind turbine, as engineers
call it - is reaping the winds
whirling over Clayton, N. M.
It introduces a family of
wind turbines to be set up in
the United States during the
next few years, one to sweep
the air with blades measuring
300 feet tip to tip - the
length of a football field.
Even bigger ones, generating
as much as 3,000
kilowatts, may come later,
the National Geographic
Society has learned.
Slicing the Air
The idea is to generate
electricity for community
use and eventually at costs
competitive with the rates of
power produced by burning
fossil fuels, today about 1 to
2 cents per kilowatt-hour.
The Department of
Energy picked Clayton, with
a population of some 3,000 as
a site for the new turbine
because it has a lot of wind
and because the town now
generates electric power
only with oil trucked a long
distance.
The giant windmill is
visible for miles across the
flat sagebrush country, the
turbine perched atop a
100-foot tower and turned by
what looks like a huge
airplane propeller with the
two blades slicing a 125-foot
circle through the clean air.
It revolves 40 times a
minute, generating up to
200 kilowatts of power when
the wind blows 18 to 34 miles
an hour, enough for 35 to 80
homes.
The Clayton turbine is the
first intended for community
service. When the wind
drops below about 10 miles
an hour, the oil-fired generators
go into action.
Clayton's $1 million federally
financed turbine was
designed, built, and installed
for the Department of
Energy under the management
of the National
Aeronautics and Spacc
Administration's Lewis Research
Center at Cleveland,
Ohio. At nearby Sandusky
stands a 100-kilowatt experimental
turbine built as a
forerunner to the DOE's
new generation of super
windmills.
Whirling Giants
Two other wind turbines
just like the one at Clayton
will go up soon, one late this
spring on the American
island of Culebra just off
Puerto Rico, and the other
probably early next year on
Block Island off the tip of
Long Island.
Late this year, however, a
$4-million to $5.5-million
wind turbine will start
whirling with blades 200 feet
tip to tip in the mountaintop
winds above Boone, N. C. It
is engineered to produce

2,000 kilowatts.
Sometime near the end of
1979, a wind turbine with a
300-foot blade span is to be
up and turning at some
yet-unchosen site, producing
up to 3,000 kilowatts.
And the idea of even bigger
wind turbines is being
researched by the Boeing
Engineering and Construction
Company for DOE.
All of them will be
spiritual descendants of the
Smith-Putnam turbine that
perched atop Grandpa'3
Knob in central Vermont
during World War II.
It generated a daily
average of 431 kilowatts for
23 days for the local power
utility - until the night it
threw one of its 70-foot
blades 750 feet down the
mountain.
