Blood services host
softball tournament
A “Gift of Life Softball Tourna-
ment" will be held on May 16 and
17 in McAllen, sponsored by Rio
Grande Valley Blood Services.
The Tournament will be held at
Palms and Cascade Softball Parks.
Bloos Services is requesting that
any team wanting to participate in
this unique, life-saving fun event,
please contract them as soon as
possilbe. Trophies will be given
out to the top three teams, with
the top team getting individual
awards.
The event will have a three-pitch
softball rule. This means that
there will be no walks throughout
the game, and everybody will have
an oportunity to be a hitter. A
total of three pitches will be given
to each batter.
The most unique part about the
“Gift of Life Tournament11 is the.
way a baseball team has to do is to
come by the blood bank during the
week of May 11 through the 15, to
donate a unite of bloos. As soon as
the team donates 12 units of bloos,
it is automatically registered for
the Tournament. The reason
Blood Services is asking for only
12 donations of blood from each
team is that the average body
contains approximately 12 pints of
blood. By meeting the entry
requirements of 12 donations, the
team will have donated enough
blood as is contained in the human
body. Not all ball players will be
able to donate blood, so they can
bring friends, spoises, or anybody
they wish to come by and help
raise the amount of blood needed.
“We are merely asking that heal-
thy athletes like the ones on your
softball team donate the ‘Gift of
Life1 to help somebody else live,11
states Adrian A Arriaga, Execut-
ive Director of Rio Grande Valley
Blood Services. “Since at this time
blood cannot be mamufaetured by
any machine except the human
body, it is important tha£ we have
the blood donors needed to raise
the fifty units of blood that are
used each day in ,McAllen and the
Rio Grande Valley area,11 contin-
ues Arriaga.
Anyone interested in participating
in the “Gift oi Life Tournament11
should call Rio Grande Valley
Blood Services at 682-1314, and
ask for Bill Nieklas or Adrian A
Arriaga.

San Juan residents pleased
they're saving money—
and energy—with EEA home
Mr. and Mrs. Clark Triplett, who
live at 1224 Coil Drive in San Juan,
were checking on methods of attic ven-
tilation when they learned about the
Energy Efficiency Award (EEA) pro-
gram sponsored by Central Power and
Light Company.
Designed to guide homeowners in
the use of energy-saving features that
help keep utility bills lower, the
EEA plan proved to be exactly what
the couple was looking for.
They wanted “to save on electrical
energy costs and also to help save our
nation’s energy,” Mrs. Triplett
explains.
And not only have they
achieved a savings in operating
expenses,* Mr. Triplett adds, but
“the cost of making our home
[energy] efficient was less than 2% I
of the total cost.”
A high-efficiency heating/cooling |
system enables them to leave the
thermostat set at 80° in the hot
months, and at a constant 70° during
the winter. Mrs. Triplett, who says
she particularly enjoys the even
temperature in all rooms and the low
level of noise from outside, follows
several wise-use procedures to save
on use of electricity. For example,
she waits until there is a full load
before running the washer, clothes
dryer or dishwasher.
“Everyone should ask their builder
to use energy efficiency standards,”
Mr. Triplett declares, “The home is
more comfortable, saves money, saves
energy, and will have a better resale
value in the future.”
Free booklets about the EEA pro-
gram for all-electric homes are avail-
able at your CPL office.
