Cut Utility Bill In
Half- With Fans
Toss out your air con-
ditioner and cool off with
fans? Absurd?
Not if you want to slash
your utility bill in half in
some Texas areas.
Air conditioning accounts
for up to 50 percent of all
home energy used in some
areas of Texas, says Dr.
Jane Berry, a housing and
home furnishings specialist.
Fans save money, and
they provide comfort, she
says.
You can use them as
"helpers" to your air-
conditioning system - or in
place of it.
Here are two types of fans
to start with - in deciding
which will do the best job in
your home:
Circulating Fans
Circulating the air inside
the home makes you feel
cooler because it speeds up
evaporation of moisture
from the skin. These fans
"help" air conditioning - or
work alone.
Fans for this job include
standard table-top fans,
> "box" fans that sit on the
floor or a flat, steady sur-
r face, and the old-time ceiling
fan.
Ventilating Fans
Use ventilating fans
without air conditioning - watts.
they need open windows.
Fans that ventilate do two
things: they exhaust hot,
stagnant indoor air to the
outdoors, and they bring
cooler outside air into the
house.
They're most effective at
night - or at times when
outdoor air is cooler than air
inside the home.
To use a ventilating fan,
place it in an open window
and seal up space around it.
Also, shut windows near it
for maximum drawing
power. Then open a few
windows on the opposite side
of the area to be ventilated -
that may be just one room or
the entire house.
Why Fans?
Texas is rediscovering the
fan.
Many Texas residents
already report that using the
"right" fan lets them run air
conditioners at higher set-
tings - or simply turn them
off - and still stay com-
fortable.
Research says that a fan
makes and air-conditioned
room feel six to eight
degrees cooler.
Fans use only about 150
watts of electricity or less,
while a typical room air
conditioner uses about 860

..WAR VICTIM REMEMBERED- Fidel Vela died
while serving in the Phillipines at the beginning of
World War II. The American G.I. Forum local chapter
has been named after him. Noe Rodriguez, right, vice-
president of the Fide! Vela chapter, presented the
sisters and brother-in-law of the late private with an
inscribed card from the organization. I^eft to right are
Oscar S. Meyers, Mrs. Griffin Taylor, Mrs. George E.
Decker, and Mrs. Oscar S. Meyers receiving the card.
They mentioned that Private Vela was the first draftee
from Starr County to die for his country.
Scrivner Suggests:
Keep Cool With Cucumbers
Keep cool with cucumbers
as days grow warmer.
The pulp temperature of
cucumbers from the
refrigerator can be 20
degrees cooler than the air
outside on a hot day, says
Extension Agent iH.E.).
Cucumbers also make a
low-calorie snack for waist-
watchers-they have only 55
calories per pound.

Cucumbers are available
in two classes according to
use-those used fresh for the
table called "slicing
cucumbers" and other
varieties used for pickling.
Cucumbers are ideal
accompaniments to summer
meals.
For eating raw, slice or
dice fresh cucumbers for
relishes or salads.
Cut lengthwise into sticks
with the skin left on or cut
crosswise into discs, they
add color to a relish tray.
Also slice them for use in
sandwiches or serve with
vinegar, salt and pepper.
Store cucumbers in the
refrigerator.

These days, we hear a lot of talk about our
"rights." The phrases "stick up for your rights"
and "respect the rights of others" are familiar
ones. But are we familiar with our rights? What
are they exactly? We should be ever mindful of
them and ever thankful that we live in a country
where the rights of everyone are respected and
protected. Our "inalienable" rights, as outlined in
the Bill of Rights of the American Constitution are
as follows:
I.
Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievances.
II.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free State, the right of the people to
keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
III.
No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in
any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor
in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by
law.
IV.
of Rio Grande City
Pun Bug
•3
The right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizure, shall not be
violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation,
and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
V.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital or
otherwise infamous crime, unless on a present-
ment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in
cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the
Militia, when in actual service in time of War or
public danger; nor shall any person be subject for
the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life
or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal
case to be a witness against himself, nor be
deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor shall private property be taken
for public use, without just compensation.
VI.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall
enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by and
impartial jury of the State and district wherein the
crime shall have been committed, which district
shall have been previously ascertained by law,
and to be informed of the nature and cause of the
accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses
against him; to have compulsory process for
obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the
Assistance of Counsel for his defense.
VII.
In suits at common law, where the value in
controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right
of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact
tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in
any Court of the United States, than according to
the rules of the common law.
VIII.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor ex-
cessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual
punishments inflicted.
IX.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain
rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage
others retained by the people.
X.
The powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States,
are reserved to the States respectively, or to the
people."
