Before you choose an air conditioner, ask the dealer for its energy efficiency ratio. This number tells you the efficiency of a unit. An air conditioner with an EER number of 8 or above will be thrifty for you electrically. The EER number is computed by divid­ ing the BTUs by the watts. A 12,000-BTU unit that uses 1500 watts will rate an 8. If the EER doesn't appear on the tag or metal nameplate, use this simple formula yourself. It's a worthwhile exercise that can pay off in electric dollar savings over the long run. Don't buy too much capacity. Surprisingly, an air conditioner that's too big usually won't keep you as comfortable as a smaller unit. So measure the space to be cooled before you go to the dealer. Also note any doors that might let cool air escape, or windows that might let direct sunlight in. The dealer will have charts to translate your notes into the right air conditioner selection. S^me tips on cutting cooling costs. Keep the warm air out and the cool air in with proper insulation and weather stripping where you need it. Block out the sun by drawing drapes. And locate the air conditioner on the shady side of your house, making sure to seal any leaks in the window after you put it in. And remember to keep the filter clean. Check your owner's manual to see if you should vacuum it or wash it. er case, a good periodic cleaning will make your air conditioner more efficient, and save you money. Another good way to save on your cooling costs is to get an automatic timer made especially for air conditioners. If you're going to be away from home for the day, you can set the timer to turn on the air conditioner an hour or so before you return in the evening. Your home will be more comfortable; your air conditioner will get most of the day off; and you'll save money on your electric bill. It makes a lot of sense to buy an air conditioner that starts efficient and stays efficient. Saving energy always makes ssense. And when summer's over, you'll find the extra care was worth it-- in dollars and cents. LOOK FOR AN EER OF 8 OR ABOVE Commonwealth Edison WiibMM I• |n, KgSsg Koryou. © Back Ribs... 2-2 1/2 LB.

About fifteen children attended from 9:15-11:30, two to three days a week. The students planned various crafts and other activities for the children, including a picnic to Veterans Acres the last day the center was open. The students volunteered to be managers for a day. Some set up a schedule and supervised all activities. Others were assigned to various jobs.

They personally approached Robert Swartzloff, principal at West, to request permission to have the center at school. It became an excellent opportunity for the students to learn about the happy and sad times children can have when away from home. They learned how to deal with problems by better understanding children.

Great American People Show New Experience The Great American People show is truly a one-of-kind theatrical experience. Eyerthing about it makes it an entertainment that fi totally unique to the state of Illinois. '.This year's presentation, an original script entitled "YOUR OBEDIENT SERVANT,'A. LINCOLN", was developed by Dr. John Ahart, a professor of theatre at the University of Illinois. In collaboration with1 Kirk Hard, the associate director and script coordinator, and with the young and talented cast members, Professor Ahart has taken the seed of an idea, the life of Abraham Lincoln, and developed it into a fast- aced and exciting production.. YOUR OBEDIENT SER­ VANT, A. LINCOLN, an episodic history of Lincoln, his Illinois and his country, via song and dialogue, will give the audience a theatrical ex- perienc#1* they will long remember. The play has one simple aim-- to relate to the audience the life of one of America's greatest statesmen. The play also touches upon the founding of our nation. During this year of the Bicentennial, it is refreshing to find a new kind of way to celebrate our nation's 200th birthday. The entire production will be played in the open-air theatre in Kelso Hollow, located in New Salem State park. The theatre is surrounded by a natural wall of trees, which, when met by the sky, the only roof, create a beautifully in­ spiring backdrop for the production. What better setting to depict the life of the nation's sixteenth President than his own home land? One knows, after a few short moments, the combination of lights, scenery, dialogue, movement and the fresh summer breezes will carry the audience right out of Lossmann's Meats.
