Show Let's get a bit igy more light XkP on the subject! Hi, I'm Reddy Kilowatt, your friend at Utah Power. Each week, this column is devoted to common questions and suggestions we receive from our customers. custo-mers. You are warmly invited to participate. partici-pate. Questions and suggestions regarding electricity, your electric service, or energy conservation are welcome. I QDoes a microwave oven use I less electricity than a conven- I tional electric oven? I A There is no simple answer here. I An electricity consumption com- j parison between the conventional and j microwave ovens depends entirely on I the answer to the question, "What's I cooking?" Tests have shown that in I cooking small to medium quantities of I concentrated foods such as meats, j potatoes, desserts (particularly puddings I and sauces), and in heating TV dinners, I the microwave oven offers the greatest I savings. Yet, when cooking corn, I broccoli, and similar vegetables, the I conventional electric surface units are I more economical. Energy-saving is I greatest when using the microwave and I the conventional ovens in combination, I rather than one method at the exclu- I sion of another. I Q Where should I put my study I lamp for the greatest amount of I light from the least wattage? I A Study lamps should be placed so I as to avoid shadows and re- I fleeted glare and, normally, a 150-watt f bulb is recommended for reading. I On a desk, ideal placement is approxi- I mately 12 inches from the front of I the desk, 15 inches to the right or left I of center (to the left if you are right- I handed, to the right if you are left- I handed), with the bottom shade 15 I inches from the desk surface. You I should know, however, that the amount I of light given off by a lamp bulb is I measured in lumens, not wafts - Wattage I is the amount of electricity the bulb j uses. Reddy recommends that you look I on the carton for both lumen ratings I and estimated life of the bulb (in hours). I Address your questions or suggestions to I Reddy Kilowatt, P.O. Box 899, Salt Lake I City, Utah 84110. Due to space limitations, I all questions and suggestions cannot be I printed in this column, but each will be I answered. J i LIGHT CO.

I Tourists pay $24,000,000 in taxes. 1 if CASHIER Our out-of-state visitors spend only about a day-and-a-half in Utah. Yet they leave behind $133-million, j money that adds substantially to our overall economy. And that money generates more than $24-million in taxes: tax money we don't have to pay ourselves. This year, tell the visitors you meet about everything Utah has to offer. Invite them to stay an extra day. It'll pay!
