Operating Cost Various Types Electrical Appliances Explained By Susan Millsap Home Economist Georgia Power The unusually low tem peratures and the resultant energy shortages reached this winter made many Georgia families more energy conscious than ever. For many the first impulse was to discard small, nonessential energy users such as the electric tooth brush, the electric can opener and the electric razor. Actually, an electric tooth brush and an electric can opener each use only about half a kilowatt-hour of electricity a year. That’s less than two cents worth. Unless the man in the family decides to grow a beard, throwing out the electric razor could actually increase the family’s energy consumption. More energy is used heating the water needed to shave with a nonelectric razor than would be needed to shave with an electric shaver. Normally, only about 1.8 kilowatt-hours a year are used shaving with an electric razor. Such small kitchen ap pliances as the waffle iron, the egg cooker and the toaster use less energy than would be needed to do the same cooking jobs using the oven or range top. A waffle iron used for 20 hours during News from < your ; Pharmacist < Hoard The family physician (gen eral practitioner) is as American as Old Glory and you can be assured that he is not fading away.

An egg cooker used for 27 hours during the year will use about 14 kilowatt-hours and cost roughly 49-cents to operate. An average toaster used daily would consume about 40 kilowatt-hours or sl.4o’s worth of electricity. Appliances that heat and cool consume more elec tricity than the others, so using these conservatively can result in significant long-term savings. A 860- watt room air conditioner used for 1,000 hours during the cooling season will use 860 kilowatt-hours of elec tricity and cost its owner about $35 a year to operate. That’s less than 29 cents a day each day during a four-month cooling season. A 12,200 watt range with an oven uses about 1,175 kilowatt-hours, if operated normally for a year, and adds about $41.13 to its owner’s electric bills over a year. On a daily basis, the range costs about 11 cents to operate. Quick-recovery water heaters use an average of 4.811 kilowatt-hours a year and costs about $170.84 to operate. Regular water heat ers, however, in a year consume about 4,219 kilowatt-hours at an annual cost of $147.67. A 15 cubic foot freezer that requires defrosting uses about 1,195 kilowatt-hours in a year and costs about $41.83 to operate. The same size frost-free type uses 1,761 kilowatt-hours at an annual cost of $61.63. If you own both a black and white and color television, you can save energy and money by watching most shows on the black and white set. Also, solid state sets use less electricity than tube type sets. A color tube-type television used 2,200 hours during the year consumes about 660 kilowatt-hours of electricity and costs about $23.10 to operate while a solid state color television used for the same number of hours consumes about 440 kilowatt hours and costs about $15.40 a year to operate. A black and white tube type television uses about 350 kilowatt-hours a year and costs around $11.55 to operate. A solid state black and white television uses about 120 kilowatt-hours and adds about $4.20 to the amount the family must pay for electricity in a year. These few examples are estimates of normal home use. Individuals or families may vary greatly in usage. m6et\ ACTION | with \mm , \AKi THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON-, GEORGIA Weekly Devotional By E. Hay Savage, Pastor Jackson Church of the Nazarene ORDINARY MAN - PASSION If Andrew ever preached a sermon, it was not good enough to get into the Bible. If he ever wrote an Epistle or a Gospel, we do not know it, if he ever performed a miracle with God’s help, no one reported it. Was Andrew a failure for God? Hardly! While Andrew preached no sermon worthy of scriptural publication, yet one of his converts (Simon Peter) preached a sermon at Pentecost which resulted in 3,000 converts. So Andrew had a share in these souls. While Andrew wrote no books of the Bible, yet one of his converts (Simon Peter) was the author of two Epistles in the New Testament. So Andrew will enjoy some of this harvest with Peter. And while Andrew performed no miracle, yet he introduced a lad to Jesus, and Jesus, blessing the lad’s lunch, was able to feed 5,000. Andrew shares in this miracle’s blessing! So Andrew did not fail! It would be more accurate to say that God’s work would have failed - to a certain degree - without Andrew, and man of Andrew’s type. Himself the first choice of Christ’s twelve, Andrew was not an ecclesiastical glamour boy - not even a fast-talking promoter. He was an ordinary man with an extraordinary passion to introduce men to Jesus. And he started at home, with his own brother. We need more Andrew’s with a passion to present men to Christ! New Law Requires Warranty Copy Be Furnished Customers When you buy something new, part of the comparison shopping is to find out what kind of warranty the product carries. Now, thanks to new regulations implementing the Warranty Act, any time you buy a consumer product costing more than sls, and having a warranty, the warranty must be easy to read and available to you before you buy. If it isn’t visible near the product, be sure to ask for it. The new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regula tions became effective De cember 31, 1976. FTC spells out what to look for and what to do about problems in its new fact sheet, Warranties. For a free copy, send a postcard to the Consumer Information Center, Dept. 650 E. Pueblo, Colorado 81009. There are two kinds of written warranties-full and limited. A product can carry more than one written warranty. For example, it can have a full warranty on part of the product and a limited warranty on the rest. DR. JOSEPH S. MADDOX. JR. Chiropractor announces the opening of his new office 356 E.

Easy come, easy grow. Take stock in America. Buy U.S. Savings Bonds. The label “full” on a warranty means that: A defective product will be fixed (or replaced) free, including removal and rein stallation if necessary. It will be fixed within a reasonable time after you complain. You will not have to do anything unreasonable to get warranty service (such as ship a piano to the factory.) The warranty is good for anyone who owns the product during the warranty period. If the product can’t be fixed (or hasn’t been after a reasonable number of tries), you get your choice of anew one or your money back. But, there is one important thing the word “full” doesn’t promise. A “full” warranty doesn't have to cover the whole product. It may cover only part of the product, like the picture tube of a TV. Or it may leave out some parts, like tires on a car. If your warranty covers only the picture tube, and the sound goes bad, you pay. Always check what parts the i*U&: k LARRY FLETCHER I really don’t drink too much coffee, but I doubt that I’d boycott it. warranty covers. A warranty is “limited” if it gives you anything less than what a full warranty gives. "Limited” means be careful - something’s miss ion. For example, a limited warranty may: Cover only parts, not labor. Allow only a pro-rata rotund or credit. This means you get a smaller refund or credit the longer you have had the product. Require you to return a heavy product to the store for service. Cover only the first purchaser. Include a charge for handling. Banks are People agOSgak -IxL 4 J e m Got a problem?
