Show Page Six - The Pyramid - August 25, 1999 I Elna Christensen receives DUP honor FAIRVIEW Elna Christensen has been chosen to receive the honor of 'Pioneer Woman of Today" by the North Bend Daughters of Utah Pioneers. Elna was bom to Marion and Melinda Tucker on Aug. 26, from North 1917, graduated Sanpete High School, and on July 30, 1938, she married Charles Bailey. Together they had one son, Charles Lynn. While her husband worked as a heavy equipment operator, they lived in a 7x12 foot trailer house, following construction jobs around the intermountain west. On Sept. 4, 1941, Charles was killed in a construction accident. Elna began working part-tim- e in the post office, did baby sitting, and did house cleaning in Fair-vieto support herself and baby son. She later married Buford Christensen on April 15, 1943. Bufords first wife, Anna Laura Turpin, had died shortly after giving birth to their only son Lowell Blaine. Buford and Elna owned a small farm. Buford did grain cleaning and chopping around the North Sanpete area and later became an insurance salesman. He built a laundromat and campground that Elna operated. They had three more children, Ron, Norma and Reg. Buford passed away Jan. 31, 1997, at the age of 83. Elna has served in the LDS church in both ward and stake leadership positions for many years. At 82, she still bakes homemade bread every week, bottles her own fruit and vegetables every fall, does all of her own cooking and house keeping, and walks to the post office and store every day. She is a true example of her pioneer heritage and has been a member of the DUP longer than any other living member today in the North Bend Camp. She has always helped anyone in need never enjoyed the lime light, but has been a quiet, gentle giant in her service to her fellow men. She has five children, 22 grandchildren, and 21 Carpet and vinyl Sales and installation present were then Idaho's best kept secret loacted just a short drive from Boise.

Another easy way to keep things cool, according to Hansen, is to use appliances that generate heat, dishwashers, including ovens, irons and dryers, in the evening or early morning. "And remember," Hansen said, "if someone cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Cook outside on the grill. Or cook in the microwave, which produces much less heat than a conventional oven." Lights are a source of heat, too. "Homes will be kept cooler by turning off lights wh6rtfrnot using them," Hansen said. ''''"' Utah Power also has a few solusuggestions for longer-tertions. Planting deciduous trees to shade the south side of a building will keep the interior cooler during the summer, but let winter sun in when leaves have fallen. d trees can reduce cooling needs by as much as 20 percent. Close window, shade and blinds when the sun starts hitting them to keep heat out and trap cool air in. Windows in shade can be left open. Keep air moving inside homes with ceiling, window, attic and portable fans. i lake PORTATION.

"If one doesnt have air, they can make a hot summer day more tolerable. Utah Powers tips include: Open windows at night and in the morning to let in cool air.
