The bricks and blocks on the scaffold are being put in place by the brick-layers. The wall in the background is the north wall of the swimming pool. The concrete floor, walls and deck of the swimming pool are now complete. After these walls are finished, pre+cast concrete will form the roof of the building. The pool deck was poured and finished during the recent warm weather. 3 BY THE OLD TIMER From Mrs. Ruth P. Roberts, Sea- ford, Dela.: When I was a little girl in LeRaysville, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, our home there, the Pinnock Funeral Home, was equipped with three direct telephone lines. One connected the residence with the operator in Warren Center, Pa., and Nich­ ols, N Y. (the Moore Line); one with Camptown, Pa. (The Camp- town- Line); and one with our local switchboard in LeRaysville borough (the People's Line). The number was the same for each .. . 2151. The ring was the same on each of two wall phones and a desk phone - one long and one short ring. Mother and Daddy knew which one to answer from the tone of the respective bells. mm- m w® nn tnr ~ J ...and get more from the GOOD YEARS fM i* „ 4 Francis Nignt d- L- A 1/ Unfortunately, many people do not properly plan for the retire- , ment years. Once retired, the starting point for surviving on a reduced income is reevaluation. First, the present and antici­ pated income must be figured out. Then the "fixed" expenses must be totaled. Rent, utilities, and food are the big items. Obviously, the only way to reduce rent, if it too high, is to settle for less than you now have. You can make small savings by being conserva­ tive with the use of utilities. Food prices are high, but careful and wise shopping can help you save at the supermarket. One of the most popular com­ plaints of many retired couples is "cooking and shopping for just two people is difficult." A closer examination shows that many times the real problem is they have not learned to cook only a portion from a family-size meal. Properly preserving leftovers for another meal is another problem. Here are some quick tips on wise food buying: Shop for the There were three phone bills but a minimum of toll calls and need­ less to say, many availed them­ selves of our services in case of emergency. Many preferred to come down to the funeral home if they needed the funeral director during the night, instead of hav­ ing to get the local "switch" peo­ ple out of bed, because the switch­ board was located in their home. Naturally, there were no phone booths back in those days. (Send contributions to this column to The Old Timely Box 639, Frankfort, Ky. 40601.) values. Always read newspaper advertisements of supermarkets and small grocery stores, looking for bargains. Shop frequently to cash in on specials at different times of the week. Buy the small size can of a particular item only if it costs the same per unit (ounce or pound) as the larger sizes. Don't pay higher prices just to avoid having leftovers. Plan your menus and if you anticipate leftovers, be sure that they aren't overlooked on your menu plan. Defenders To Sponsor Talk On Pollution Must we learn to pay for cleaning up after ourselves? Must we pay to prevent pollution? An attitude expressed frequently these days is that it is too expensive to provide a clean environment that the public must learn to tolerate water and air that are just a "little" dirty. One individual with strong opinions on this subject is Jacob D. Dumelle, a member of the Illinois Pollution Control board, who will be the guest speaker Tuesday, Feb. 20, at a meeting sponsored by the McHenry County Defenders. The public is invited to attend this meeting which will start promptly at 8 p.m. at the Out­ door Education building, 330 N. Main street, Crystal Lake. This is just north of Rt. 176. During the years that Dumelle has served on the PCB, he has heard hundreds of cases where things have gone wrong and gross pollution of the environment has occurred. These experiences have prompted him to title his talk or. Feb. 20, "Prudence Versus Pollution". It is clear that he believes that future emphasis in this state should be on prevention of pollution rather than on trying to patch things up after the fact. Dumelle is a professional. engineer who was appointed to the PCB by Gov. Ogilvie when the board was formed in 1970. Since then he has introduced proposals leading to enactment of tighter mercury and phosphorus water standards and minimum effluent stan­ dards. THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CONSERVING ELECTRICITY Proper insulation can mean a savings for you in winter. And in summer, too. Editors Quote Book •Hea ven sends us misfor­ tunes as a moral tonic." - Lady Blessington l Y I No FUM IN HAVIN& NOTHING- 10 DO; ~TH\E REAL FUN Having- LOTS TO DO AN P NOT P OLNG IT I The better your insulation, the less heat you lose in winter. Your heating system doesn't have to run as often, or as long, to keep you warm. You save. Now think about this: the same insulation that helps keep heat inside in winter helps keep it outside in summer. Even if you don't have air conditioning, in­ sulation puts a barrier between you and the heat outside. If you have air conditioning, you'll find it doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep you cool. You save again. WhatSs proper insulation? Recommendations vary with the type of construction. The ability of an insulating material to resist the flow of heat is measured in a unit called R-Value. The higher the R-Value the better the therm­ al resistance of the insulation. With electrically heated homes, we recommend the equivalent of R-l 9 in the ceiling, R-l 1 in the walls, and R-l 1 in the floor. In all cases, the better the insula­ tion, the more efficiently the heating and cooling systems will operate. If you're building a new home, check with your builder to see that you're getting the maximum insulation for your living space. If you feel your present house is under-insulated, an insulating contractor or supplier can show you how to improve it.
