AGX TWO BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, JULY Insulation Saves Fuel Bills in Utah Homes Cedar Breaks National Monrment TELLS HOW BANKS AIDED (By Director William Peterson, C Extension Service) 1 U. S. A. 18, J935 Utah has a wide range of tempera4 ture. There are many placs in the state where, for long periods, the temperature is below freezing, and I the extreme temperatures might be 10, 15, 20 or 30 degrees below zero. In these same localities the temperature may be 80 or 90 degrees above zero in the heat of the summer. These varying temperatures indicate that our buildings should be so constructed as to meet a temperature range of at least 100 degrees. Every house should be properly insulated from intense heat and intense cold. By insulation is meant that the bouse should be constructed from material so that the walls are not readily penetrated by intense heat or intense cold but will maintain an even and pleasant temperature no matter what the weather conditions may be -without. rr Tw ir t im rnim n n iimiirmiiirii.iiwiiitriritMiMiiiM tlUKrimn nun mtmmitimmmKMVMmiimmmimimm The ordinary frame house whose studs, walls are made of ThU b one of a terie of article to appear in tbU newspaper, and lath and ponsored by the Salt Lake Advertising Club, aiaoeUted civic club of siding, building paper southern and central Utah, and chambers of com mere? ; part of a Blaster on the inside, lath and plaster program to point oat Utah's resource so that locsrl peopla will "Know Utah Better", on the ceiling, and possibly no upper By MARION C.
