Community Calendar This Week’s Riddle

How many times can you

subtract 10 from 100?

Excerpts from “The Complete Tightwad

Gazette” by Amy Dacyczyn,

a.k.a. The Frugal Zealot ~~~~~~~~~~

HOW BIG IS A CORD OF WOOD?

I have a friend who sells wood part time. He tells me that from time to

time he finds people who do not get their money’s worth when they

purchase firewood. The problem arises between a

“full cord” and a “face cord” of wood.

A full cord of firewood is a stack of wood that equals 128 cu. ft. Although usually defined as

4’ x 4’ x 8’, obviously it can be an equal dimension, such as

2’ x 4’ x 16’. A face cord is a stack of firewood where the “face” is a traditional 4’ x 8’, but the depth is not the

4’ measurement. This can occur when the wood has been cut in an odd length so that it

stacks up to an odd length. Such as two rows deep of 18” wood

adds up to 3’deep. If you have purchased a face cord,

which equals 3’ x 4’ x 8’, you’ve only bought 75% of a full

cord.

The Vulcan Regional Food Bank Society is requesting funding which would assist us in renovating our own building. We would like to raise $160,000 for the building fund this year. Our costs of raising these funds will be about $3500. The Vulcan Regional Food Bank Society is currently located at 115-2nd Ave. N. in Vulcan, which is

also where we are incorporated in Alberta, or we may be reached by mail at Box 594, Vulcan, AB T0L 2B0. For further information,

please call the Executive Director, Carrol 403 485 2192. If you are donating to our Building Fund, please make cheques out to Vulcan

Regional Food Bank Society Building Fund. Thank you!
