Hot Weather Increases Electricity Usage While air conditioners strained to keep homes and offices cool dnring recent hot weather, Carolina Power & Light Co. customers' overall electric usage jumped more than 15 percent. If you use air conditioning in your home, this could mean a big increase in your monthly electric bill. The reason. says Josephine Johnson, area manager at Mount Olive, is because almost all of the increase in electric con sumption was due to air condnioning. which makes up only a portion of CP&L's total electrical production. "When we get this kind of overall increase in electric usage, and extremely hot weather, it means air con ditioned homes may be doubling the amount of elec tricity they use for cooling," said Johnson. Here's why: When nign temperatures are in the 80s ? like in mid-June ? and nights get cool, your air conditioner only works part time. When high tempera tures reach the upper 90s, and nights are hot, cooling your home becomes almost a full-time job. Johnson said when it is 88 degrees outside and your home is 78 degrees, the difference between outdoor and indoor temperatures is 10 degrees ? and that is how much cooling power you need from your air condi tioner. But, when the outside temperature reaches 98 de grees and the inside tem perature is 78 degrees, the difference between the two is doubled ? and so could your air conditioning use, accord ing to Johnson. She said average daily temperatures were up about 10 degrees over June levels during the heat wave. Since air conditioning can account for up to two-thirds of your summertime electri city use. bills can easily jump a third over normal when a hot spell hits and cooling needs double. For customers whose bud gets get a jolt from the higher bills caused by the heat spell, there is a way to reduce the immediate im pact, said Johnson. CP&L offers an Equal Pay Plan which equalizes the amount of bills over a 12-month period. Under this plan, a customer's bill is estimated for the next 12 months and the payment is the same each month during the period. Customers interested in the EPP can get more infor mation by calling the CP&L office at 919-658-5019. Johnson also urged cus tomers who think they might have trouble paying their electric bill on time to call the CP&L office. "We are glad to work with customers who are having troubles, but we ? a* ? can't help our customers unless we know of their circumstances." she said. Even though you can't control outside tempera tures. you can help cut back on total electricity use and still be comfortable. Among the conservation tips CP&L recommends are: ? If you have central air conditioning, try to keep the thermostat set at 78 degrees or above. A thermostat set below 78 degrees will add. on the average, about 5 percent per degree to your cooling bill. ? Keep leaves, grass, shrubs and other obstacles away from the outdoor air conditioning unit. ? If you have a window air conditioning unit, clean the filter and outside casing or grill of the unit monthly. ? When practical, place window air conditioning units on the north or shady side of the house to reduce their work load. ? Don't block window units or outlets with drapes, shades, pictures or furniture. ? Save your moisture and heat-producing home activities for cool times of the day. Mopping, dishwashing, laundering and bathing add heat and moisture in the air and can make the air con ditioner work harder. ? Draw drapes, blinds or shades on the sunny side of the house. Awnings or trees and shrubs can also help shield the sunny side of the house and prevent over working the air conditioner. ? If you have storm windows, be sure they are closed to help prevent the loss of cool air. ? Don't leave on un necessary lights, They can add heat to the room. ? Be sure the fireplace damper is closed to keep cool air from escaping. ? When the weather is cool enough, turn off the air conditioner and enjoy the fresh air. savings Bonds Sales Up 20 Percent Sales of Series EE Savings Bonds in Duplin County during April - June of 1983 totaled $14,382,463.

Duplin Health News Duplin County Health Di rector Joe Costin urged all parents to make sure their children have had the mini mum immunization shots re quired by state law before school starts. Parents who have moved to North Caro lina from other states should request immunization records from their former physician or local health clinic. North Carolina's immuni cation law, revised by the 1979 General Assembly, re quires a complete basic series of shots for all children attending public and private ? ->U in kindergarten I ati the 12th grade, i i lu-t' immunizations Include three combination diptheria. I tetanus and pertussis i (whooping cough) shots; three oral polio vaccine I doses; measles vaccine on or | after the child's first birth- i day; and rubella (german measles) vaccine. The ma- i jority of the children affected < are those entering licensed day care centers, kindergar ten. and the first, grade. The law allows exemptions only for medical or religious rea sons. Costin stressed that parents should be diligent about having their children properly immunized and keep their records up-to date. "Now is the time for kindergarten and first grade students to get their back to-school shots." Costin said. . . "Parents should have their children's immunization re cords verified and signed or stamped by a physician. Parents who have moved into North Carolina from other states should have their children's records.verified without delay so they will have them ready to present, to the schools in the fall. Don't wait until the last minute when scheduling ap pointments may be diffi cult." The immunization law re quires students to be vac cinated within 30 days after ? - ? c the opening of school. After that deadline, students who don't have their shots will** not be allowed to attend school until they present a current record of hnmuni?~ zation. Costin said all of the re quired shots may be obtained** from private physicians or the Duplin health depart- | ment. Opening Friday Colonial I:, Antiques, Etc. I IB N front iSl.
