PAGE 14 - PLAIN DEALER-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1974 Trees Can Save On Utilities Properly spaced shade trees can help prevent home air conditioners from working overtime in scorching weather. ' We need to take a second look at plants as temperature control devices," says George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county. "Trees planted near h house not only help the home owner save on utility bills but also contribute to the solution of the energy crisis." Air conditioners don't need to run as often if the sun doesn t beat down on the house all day. Young explains Shade trees partly shield the roof and keep the sun's rays off the walls in the morning and afternoon because twigs, branches, leaves and the trunk partly absorb and reflect the radiation The amount of radiation that gets through depends on density of the tree's canopy. For example, the canopy of a honey locust will transmit more radiation and thus give less shade than that of a burr oak of equal size But the honey locust is a faster growing tree and is Deaths FLOKEM lv. MARKER Mrs. Florence Marker, 68, 1108 Somerset Mall, died Sept. 10 at McHenry hospital. The deceased was born May 5, 1906, in Chicago and was the usually more popular with homeowners Large shade trees also provide refuge for people who want to sit outdoors on a hot day An aeti\ 'y growi ' re transpires larg, quanli' < - of moisture into the e. If the wind isn't b'o'vin^ xi strongly or if the t res are protected from winds by a shelter belt, this transpiration can result in increased humidity within the tree canopy. Since moist air doesn't heat as rapidly as dry air. this helps to keep temperatures under a tree moderate. "This is a good time to think about where you will plant trees this fall," Young says. "While it would be nice if someone had planted trees twenty years ago, you can still increase the comfort of your home with tree plantings now." wife of Fourth Ward Alderman, George Marker, who survives.

REALTORS postal- IP) « phillipi BLUE THUMB GARDENER - Elbert Swink of 3108 W. Lake street, McHenry, is a gardener of no small talent. There is ample proof in this special gourd plant which extends about 40 feet. Seeds were brought to McHenry by a friend, who secured them in Tennessee. The gourds, according to Mr. Swink, make very fine wren houses, among other uses. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Stamp Of Approval Put On Lawrence Welk Land (by Father Wm Hanner, retired Episcopal vicar) We hurried through Minnesota, for we had been over this ground before. Our second night found us in Fargo, North Dakota. When I told some of my friends in McHenry we were specially going through North Dakota they looked at me as if I had some catchable illness. We found North Dakota something special. Fargo has grown There are new developments and industries though the state has lost in population. The Eastern part is flat. Farms looked prosperous but everywhere the corn was nipped in the last cold snap--we could see the result of the cold in Minnesota also. There were acres and acres of full grown sunflowers. This plant must have a 360 degree turn to its neck for in the afternoon as you drive west the backs of the flowers are toward you; the next morning as you continue west all you see is the faces of the flowers for they are turned to the East to catch the morning sun. They always face the sun. Farm houses are well protected by trees planted for windbreaks against the much- of-the-time blows. There are many patches and spots of green as a result. Golden are the fields where the wheat has been harvested while nought remains but the stubble, like a week old beard. There are many gulls about for there are lots of lakes. The gulls are smaller than those about the sea or the Great Lakes. Few signs mar the landscape with their ads. At Crystal Springs Lake there is a bird refuge for geese and ducks, maintained by the federal and state governments such as I gave described in other articles about the refuge at Crab Orchard, Illinois and the Horicon refuge in Wisconsin. This lake was a life saver for the crews that laid the railroad across these plains. We stopped to inspect the State Capital at Bismark, a town of 40,000. The capital office building rises nineteen stories. On two other states have skyscraper capitals -- Nebraska and Louisiana Here in the center of the state the elevation above sea level is on the rise. You see hills and buttes. The new governor's mansion is not as fancy as many governors' homes but it is new and modern. It looks comfortable-what more can the governor want" All through the western third of the state the land becomes more rugged with buttes and mesas and long rising slopes. Highway 94 unrolls its twin ribbons mile after mile. The land and its formations interest me for here a tale of geology unfolds. East of Bismark we are on the old bottom of Lake Agassiz, a post glacial lake now long gone, leaving behind its flat bottom and eroded shores. In the west lie the North Dakota Badlands, more scenic and colorful, more endowed with trees and animals and plant life than those in western South Dakota. At Medora is the Theodore Roosevelt national memorial. This is a park of 70,000 acres with a diverse topography of buttes, plateaus and conical hills. Here is preserved the cabin in which Roosevelt lived when he was a young man of 24 and came to this area for health, hunting and to write in 1884. We drove through the southern third of the park this afternoon. We saw the cabin Roosevelt used with its natural plumbing, his straight edge razor and the old cook stove in the kitchen. From here he ran his ranch and in the cabin's loft the hired hands lived. As we drove along we passed a prairie dog village with the little rascals all of six inches in height berating us from the doors of their holes for not feeding them. Later a white tail mule doe deer crossed the road in front of us and loped into the brush followed by her twin fawns. This morning we stopped at Steele, N.D. I left the big route, 94, for gas driving past the first pumps into town where gas was 54 cents instead of 59.9. Before a local station I stopped. The price the pump showed was 26.2 but a sign said gas was 54.4. The owner told me his pumps could not figure beyond 49 cents. Therefore he set them for 26.2 and multiplied by two to get the correct price. You just can't beat these rugged types. Kind, wise, cutting a corner to make useful, they are the background and backbone of our nation. I must write and tell Lawrence Welk I like North Dakota. It's a good place and it is good for the natiop to have it. Some of the new records are almost as bad as the disk jockey's palaver.

Institute %'On-Call" Registry Of Nurses An "on-call" registry of R.N. nurses who are presently inactive in their profession will be instituted at McHenry hospital this week, it has been announced by Vicki Behan, R.N., director of nursing service. "Nurses who enroll in this registry will be given a two- week orientation course and placed on call for the days and hours of their choice," Miss Behan explained "They will be paid in accordance with our on-call salary schedule and will receive annual health check­ ups." The orientation course for newly activated nurses will be presented by Miss Behan and her three assistant directors of Nursing Service at McHenry hospital: Ronald Cooker, R.N., Karen Eckstein, R.N , and Evelynne Walter, R.N. "We will attempt to prepare inactive registered nurses to participate in the philosophy of nursing care that is being given at McHenry hospital," said Miss Behan. "In addition, an ongoing system of teaching which involves the bedside nurse and her nurse-clinician will provide assistance and support to the R.N. who is returning to a profession which has progressed rapidly since she left." The McHenry hospital board of directors, which approved the registry this week, expressed enthusiastic interest in the project. "We will welcome and encourage in every way those registered nurses who left their profession to devote their energies and love to their families," said I^eRoy E Olsen, president of the board. "Many of these women have wished, in the intervening years, that they could stay active on a part-time basis and stay abreast of current skills and knowledge in the nursing care field "To those women we extend a warm invitation to call Miss Behan at McHenry hospital, get the details of our program, and be reassured that there is an important place for you in the health care field at McHenry hospital " 400,000 wives become widows in U S yearly -- 11,000 under 25 years of age, and 47,000 under 35 years.
