lTips On What To Do About Snow On Roofs Are Given • A heavy load of ice and snow on the roof could be a recurring problem this winter. For Mason County homeowners worried about possible damage from snow and i ice Packs H. J. Van De Riet County Extension Agent offers ,this advice from Everett Davis Washington State UniversiW Ex- tension agricultural engineer. Most roofs are designed to car- ry a two foot snow load without much trouble. Most of them will actually carry more than that. The weight of the snow is usually not a very serious problem. Ic e jams along the eaves are Something else again. They can cause real damage to your house.The ice banks along the edge of the roof are usually caused by attics that are too warra.Heat from the attic how- ever does not reach the cave line. On cold days water from melt- ing snowy on the roof runs down to the eave llne and freezes. Ice darns at the cave line are the re- sult. As the process continues the ice along the edge of the roof backs water up on the roof. If backed high enough the water could seep under the shingles ! run down into the house and leak through walls and ceilings causing extensive damage. On warm days partial melting is not a problem. When the out- Side temperature rises the snow melts at the same rate on the eaves as on top and runs right off the roof. On cold days the best way to prevent the snow on top of the roof from melting fas- ter than at the cave line is to keep the inside of the attic cold. Keep the tenperature inside the attic as near the outside tempera- ture as possible. This can be done by ventilating the attic through windows and louvers and by heavy insulation between the ceiling and the attic. If it is impossible to ventilate the attic and keep it cold another way to prevent ice jams is to warm up the cave line with ele- tric cables. Electric heat cables are used in greenhouses to warm the soil and sometimes in stock tanks to keep the water from freezing. They can be strung out along the edge of the eaves. When plug- ged in the cables heat the area melt any ice already formed and prevent further ice forma- tion. There are several approved heating cables that are free from fire hazard. Check with your electrician or power company re- presentative for advice on cable selection and for correct instal- lation methods. Do not use salt to melt the snow and ice on the roof. It will speed up melting of the ice around the eave line. BUT it will rust nails raise beck with gutters and downspouts and ruin your ornamentals and next year's lawn. A chemical solution to the prob- lem however is promised by a number of manufacturers. Chem- icals now on the market will melt snow and ice without da- mage to roofing materials metal plants the manufacturers say. Check with your local building and farm supply stores for these ice-melting chemicals. As a final suggestion Davis urges all householders to resist the urge to shovel the snow and ice off the roof. "This approach to the problem presents a dou- ble hazard - to your own life and limbs - and to the roof" the Extension specialist adds.

"Unfortunately the incipient alcoholic the person with a drinking problem is the last one to acknowledge that he needs help. 'I can handle my liquor I can quit when I want to' are standard responses. But the drink- er with a problem is least likely to seek help on his own initiative. A crisis may force him to seek treatment . a driving accident dismissal from school loss of job loss of sperms - some traumatic experience may force him to re- cognize that he has lost control of his drinking. "In soberrational moments the incipient alcoholic if properly approached may seek treatment at the urging of a relative cotm- selor employer or a friend. "It is to turn the young per- son from the progessive enerva- tion of alcoholism while treat- ment is relatively short and sim- ple that we urge parent edu- cators and supervisors to become familiar with early warning symp- toms and With ways to get the incipient alcoholic to accept treat- ment" said Dr. Lane. Dr. Lane added that the state is now covered by 19 alcoholism information and referal centers or by citizens councils on aloco- hollsm where people seeking in- formation or professional help can find it.
