Window Sense Saves Dollars On Utility Bills
Mrs. Mary Burkhalter, County Extension Agent, promotes Window Sense to cut utility costs. She notes window area should stay under 10 percent of floor space and explains glass, framing, and placement choices. Double or triple panes save energy though cost more, while storm windows help. aluminum frames lose more heat than wood. Place large south-facing windows for winter heat, avoid west-side windows in hot areas, and adjust north and west windows for cold regions.

Tune Up Those Bicycles For Safe Summer Riding
Spring is bicycling time and many bikes need a tune up to perform well. Dolly Campion of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service cites a Goodyear safety checklist for 4 H bicycle program participants. Check head, wheels, crank, chain tension, brakes, seat and handlebars. Ensure safety gear and that major brake or gear repairs are done by a qualified serviceman. Many 4 H members can handle simple seat and handlebar adjustments. The program teaches handling, safety, road rules, and care while promoting fitness and community service.
