Since Wednesday evening's meeting, some individuals have been heard to comment favorably on a public opinion survey concerninjg the pool project and the various methods of making the plan become a reality. The proposal merits Consideration When one realizes the great amount of work necessary if plans are continued. The comparatively small crowd at last week's meeting is hardly a fair indication of the feeling of the community. Certainly some idea of the attitude of the local population would be welcomed. Other comments included a suggestion that steps be taken at this time to obtain an option on desirable property in the area while it is still available. One such tract of land, not now available, is .Cooney woods, which would have been an ideal area for such a purpose.

Is electric heating clean? A. It's just as clean as electric light! You see, it uses no fuel--there's nothing to burn, no open flames. And with nothing burning, there's no smoke or soot to create dirt. Q. Does it make any noise? A. Radiant Electric Heating is absolutely silent. There are no moving parts, nothing running. N o furnace noise. Q. How about comfort control? A. Radiant Electric Heating doesn't compromise on comfort. Separate thermostats in each room let you choose the exact degree of heat you need. You can keep the bathroom at 80°, while the living room is 72°, and the bedrooms are set for perfect sleeping comfort at an even 65°. Q. Is electric heating complicated to operate? A. It's as easy as tuning your radio. All you do is set the thermostats to the temperature you want. Radiant Electric Heating does the rest, automatically. Q. How does it feel? A. It's a deep-down penetrating warmth that feels just like the sun! You see, Radiant Electric Heating warms objects in the room directly. Q. What does it look like? A. Radiant Electric Heating is available in various forms. It can be a compact baseboard installed along the base of exterior walls and painted to match the room. It can be embedded in the floor or ceiling (only the wall thermostat is visibje)^ Or it can consist of radianf glass panels, installed in the walls. Q. How much do I pay for a Radiant Electric Heating System? A. In the majority of cases, a Radiant Electric Heating system will xsjjjjriess to install than conventional flame-type systems. Of course, insulation and storm doors and windows are a necessary part of any Electrically Heated Home (Commonwealth Edison does not recommend electric heating for a home without them). But you need no chimney, no hot water pipes or radiators, no furnace, no fuel storage space. And Radiant Electric Heating takes no usable floor space. Q. How about upkeep? A. With modern Radiant Electric Heating there are no moving parts, nothing to get out of order. Nothing to adjust, nothing to clean.^s a result, the upkeep is just a fraction of what you'd pay to keep a conventional heating system in operation. Q. Want air conditioning, too? A. If you want both electric heating and air conditioning in one unit, you'll want the wonderful new Heat Pump that both heats and cools electrically. With this all-electric air conditioning system, the air in your home is warmed or cooled to the exact temperature you select, filtered clean, gently and quietly circulated to every room. The Heat Pump is a compact unit that can be installed in the basement or crawl space to deliver fully conditioned air through ductwork to every room in your home. And just as with Radiant Electric Heating, there are no flames, no fumes-- nothing to disturbyour, absolute peace of mind! Q. What happens if the electricity goes off? A. If the electricity ever did go off, the electric heating would go off, too. But so would most other kinds of automatic heating. Most fueltype heating systems depend upon electricity for operation. Q. Is it safe? A. It's fully as safe as the electric light you're reading this by. With electric heating in your home you'll enjoy a wonderful new peace of mind. There's nothing to escape, drip, leak, smell or boil over. Q. What's this I hear sibetrt a special electric heetfSrogi irate? A. Recently, Commonwealth Edison and Public Service Company put into effect a new electric heating rate that cuts the cost of heating with electricity about 30%. This new rate, together with new developments in heating equipment and better standards of home insulation, puts electric heating well within the means of most new home buyers. As a result, new electric heating has been specified for more than 900 homes and apartments. Q. How much does It cost to A. Operating costs of electric heating obviously will vary according to the size and type of home and family living habits. Commonwealth Edison and Public Service Company, or your home builder, will be glad to provide electric heating estimates based on the specifications of the home you plan to build or buy. Q. Where can I learn more about electric heating? A. You can get more information by phoning your nearest Commonwealth Edison or Public Service Company office. Or you can see new Electrically Heated Homes now being featured by progressive builders in the Chicago area. Remember, electric heating is available now! There's no waiting list and no permits are needed! So if a new home is on the horizon for you, look into the modern miracle of electric heating. After all, doesn't it make sense to get the advanced heating in your new home that you've always hoped would be available someday? ^ Commonwealth EditioD Company Public Service Company A husband is a man who knows that his wife's reasoning is largely sound.
