Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 27th, 1944 SALEM (Too late for last week) . Win Before you blame your telephone... Bnr Engineers designed the mouthpiece of your telephone to give best results at one-quarter of an inch from the lips. When your lips are farther away than this, your voice is transmitted less strongly . . . less clearly. Failure to remember these simple facts accounts for the great majority of "trouble" reports. Help avoid needless service check-ups, and at the same time let those you talk to hear you without strain. Just remember: Talk clearly, normally, directly into the telephone, with your lips just one-quarter of an inch from the mouthpiece. Gi</Ut# U/Uifs & Motets holding the continue to hold ... SAVE FUEL AND HOT WATER UNIT With conservation of both fuel and equipment a "must" in all Canadian households this year, the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating has issued a bulletin giving tested pointers on the wartime care of gas water heaters. Burners, states the Bulletin, should be brushed at least twice a year, thus assuring a clean, bright flame and the elimination of backfiring. Sediment, which if not drained off wjll impair the efficiency of the heater through its insulating effect, should be removed by opening the drain faucet at the bottom of the storage heater every month or two. Close the faucet as soon as the water clears. Tanks as well as pipes should be properly insulated. Water in the tank should never be heated above 140 degrees. Higher temperatures waste fuel and may injure the heating and piping. In most cases this merely means setting the thermostat to the temperature desired. Finally, advises the Institute, make sure that your entire system is in good working order and that you have no leaky faucets or other waste factors. A check up by you plumber is well worth the little it will cost and may save you an appreciable amount in waste eliminated. :hildren and Mrs. Anna Brown visited Mrs. Brown's brother, Mr. Wm.
