County lake boasts more fish
Belleville Lake in western Wayne County
has surprisingly good fish populations, according
to the state department of natural
resources.
The Huron River impoundment was restocked
in recent years after its existing
population of rough fish had been killed
off.
DNR fisheries crews made their surveys
the week of July 21. using both nets and
electroshocking techniques. The shock
stuns fish long enough to allow a count but
does no permanent damage, and the fish
were all released after counting
THE RESULTS showed:
•Bluegills—348 fish averaging 7 inches,
with many 74 to 8 inches. Most were

"Here are some air-conditioning tips
that will keep you from getting
hot under the collar this summer.
Detroit Edison is a concerned participant
in America's crusade for conservation.
The wise use of energy plays one of the
most important roles in that effort. But
it requires a working partnership
between those who supply energy and
those who use it. Here are some ways
you can help conserve energy and save
yourself some money the restof this
summer -
You can dial up and
hold your costs down.
Don't overcool your home. That's a
wasteful use of ehergy. And expensive.
For the most comfort and the most
efficiency, set your thermostat no
lower than about 10 degrees below the
outside temperature. If it's 85 degrees
outside, then set your thermostat at
about 75 degrees. Otherwise your air
conditioner has to work extra hard and
your costs go up and up. In a typical
house, you can save about 5 percent in
operating costs for every degree you
move the thermostat up. So, if your
house is going to be empty for a few
hours, move your thermostat up 5 more
degrees and pocket the savings.
Staying comfortable this
summer can be a breeze.
When the sun beats down, the heat in
your attic builds up and it can be like
living under an oven. An attic exhaust
fan will get the hot air out and let the
cooler night air in, and take the strain
off your air conditioner. Good attic
insulation works wonders at keeping
your home cooler in summer and it will
pay off again by saving on heating costs
next winter. And don't forget lightcolored
shingles reflect heat. Whatever
you do to keep heat out of your house
saves money in air conditioning. Window
fans work, too. ; '
Before you had air conditioning,
were things you did to keep coi
like pulling down the window si
closing the draperies on the sum
of the house. That's smart. Beci
bare window lets in as much as
times more heat than an insulal
if
if
TsT:
So do the same now and you can reduce
your air-conditioning costs by as much
as 12 percent. Shade your windows from
the outside with ventilated awnings or
trees and save even more-up to 22
percent of your air-conditioning
operating costs.
Maintain your cool.
If you want your air conditioner to take
good care of you, keep it clean. This
means changing or washing the air filters
often. Also, vacuum the inside coils and
keep outside coils free of debris. Glean -
registers arid return ducts regularly on
central air-conditioning sysfems, and
keep the cooling drain open for free
condensate flow. And don't block air -
fldw with furniture or draperies. Your
owner's manual lists other maintenance
tips. Follow them and keep cool all
summer.
Buying a new air conditioner?
Maybe the most important
numbers aren't on the price tag.
First of all, it's important that you get
the right size unjt (BTU's). Your salesman
can help on this if you tell him the length
and width of the area you want to cool.
Another /lumber that's important is the
EER number. This stands for Energy
Efficiency Rating.

You can figure this out yourself. Just
divide the BTU number by the number

delivers 6400 BTU's with 800 watts has
an EER rating of 8. (800 goes into 6400

you'll save on energy costs in the long run
