Time to Check Your
heating Lquipment
bays a. A. Johnson
Wild geese have already started
south, stepping up their usual
schedules about a month, with the
first flight in Texas reported in
August by a Fort Worth citizen.
Scientific minded gentlemen, ob-
serving this and similar occurences
in other parts of the state, have
come forth with statements that
early flights of geese foretell an
eariy and hard winter. A. A. John-
son, manager of the local gas com-
pany, explains that while he can't
pose as a scientist, in his opinion
gas users would do well to check
over their heating equipment now.
"Too many people put off looking
over their gas equipment until the
first norther hits," he explained.
"Now is the time to look over
your heating equipment and have
it set up. Wall clocks and old room
heaters should be inspected and re-
placed if necessary. Whenever pos-
sible gas equipment should be
connected with gas piping; if flex-
ible tubing is used, it should be re-
newed as it is rarely good for
more than one season. Additional
heating equipment, if needed,
should be purchased now, whiie
gas appliance dealers have a com-
plete selection, and installed before
the last minute rush. Vented auto-
matic heating equipment for in-
creased comfort and more health-
ful conditions in the home has been
adapted by manufacturers espec-
ially for the moderate sized home.
A small furnace which hangs be-
neath the floor, circulating warm
air through a grill into one or two
rooms; gas steam radiators, which
manufacture their heat at the wall
and warm air circulators are some
| of the newer popular units. Their
even, circulating heat which may
I bo automatically controlled eli-
minates wail sweating and over-
heating with its attendant colds
and other w.nter ailments.
All of this heating equipment, as
well as room heaters, if connected
with gas Piping, has been included
in the list of home furnishings
which may be purchased through
National Housing Act insured
loans.
