Mattern, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman J. Mattern of 508'2 South street, McHenry, was awarded a Letter of Com­ mendation. He was cited for his out­ standing performance as the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) officer while attached to the Naval Technical Training center, Meridian, Mi., from Sept. 12, 1974, to June 30 of this year. During that period Senior Chief Petty Officer Mattern and his staff designed and built several recreation areas in and around the BEQ Complex. His leadership inspired numerous "self-help" projects to make the quarters more habitable. An extract from SCPO Mat- tern's citation reads: "Tireless efforts in the maintenance and upkeep of the entire complex are reflected in the outstanding material condition of the area after two years of constant use." He joined the Navy in January, 1955.

B e f o r e technology delivered us from the discomforts of our climate, people used natural methods for cooling their houses in the summer and conserving the heat they had in the cold months. The natural ways are still available to us and they are surprisingly inexpensive and easy to do. \ With energy in short supply and rising in cost, everyoiie has to be concerned with con­ servation. Until government and industry come up with a solution to the problem of scare fossil fuels, the American Association of Nurserymen points out three smart things homeowners can do to use their energy supplies wisely around the house. First, make the heating and cooling systems work more efficiently and use them con­ servatively. Second, use other energy sources such as sun and wind. Third, take steps to reduce energy needs in the home by controlling the effects of climate on the house itself. Trees and other plantings can help do all these things. These are the methods grandparents used. They opened their windows on hot days and let cool breezes run through the house. These breezes were nicely channeled by thick hedges planted in the right places outside. The big leafy shade trees were located where they rained shade on the ^louse to keep it cool and comfortable during the sum­ mer. In effect, they created their own "mini-climate" in and around their houses. Regar­ dless of the weather outside, those old houses managed to remain comfortable all year round without expensive, fuel-consuming air con­ ditioners and sophisticated heating units. Even in modern houses homeowners can create their own energy-saving mini- climate which will not only help save money and energy, but which enhances the value of the property. Proper landscaping with trees, bushes, shrubs, evergreens and other plantings requires just good common sense and a little professional advice from a local garden center or nurseryman. Shade trees, for example, are among nature's most efficient I CHIT Tt CMS! STORES I . . . t o t a l h a r d w a r e PLAN AHEAD FOR CHRISTMASII!

In the summer, their big leafy um­ brellas provide a cooling shade in qr around a house. They also giv«Tt>ff cooling vapor through transpiration. In winter, they drop their leaves and allow the warming effects of the sun to come through. Shade trees planted on the east and south sides of a house are most ef­ fective because they block out the hot rays as the sun passes overhead in summer. The large variety of ivies, such as the popular English ivy, have a similar effect for climate control when planted on masonry walls or on trellises close to a wooden house. They help block out the direct sun ra^s as the leaves set up a c/onvectioh - current behind tnem to draw away hot air. In winter, ivy-planted on wind- exposed walls serves as a natural insulator to block out the chilling winds and reduce heat loss hom inside. A good windbreak of evergreens in open areas on the north side of a house serves to break up cold winter winds. A single, double or triple row of evergreens on northern and easterly sides of a house keeps the full chilling effect of the wind from entering the house through the walls and roof. They also help Leep dust down on dry days which cuts down exterior maintenance as well as inside housekeeping. These windbreaks are generally best located at a distance equal to four to six times the height of the building they are protecting. For example, a 20-foot building would benefit most from a hedge of tall evergreens located 80-100 fee^ from ita north and easterly side- Smart planting^antP^nergy- saving measures can help every modern day homeowner create his own energy-saving "mini-climate". That means the furnace and the air con­ ditioner don't have to work so hard and that means a lot to the family budget. Information or advice on how to plan and plant a mini-climate is available from local garden centers or nurserymen.

Now, therefore, unless you, Tory Rachell, file your answer to the Petition in said suit or otherwise file your appearance therein in the said Circuit Court of McHenry County, in the Postmaster LeRoy Smith offers the following tips on how to prepare Christmas parcels for mailing (and for all other times of the year as well): A single item in a package should be cushioned with shredded paper, excelsior, compressed tissue paper, cloth, or expanded plastic foam. If two or more items are mailed in the same carton or box, cushioning- material should protect all items from contact with each other, and each item should have its own individual inner carton. Fiberboard containers, in­ cluding large soap, cereal boxes, etc., larger than the gift being mailed should be cut down to about the size of the gift to minimize shaking and breaking in transit. However, breakable items should have at least one inch clearance bet­ ween the sides of the boxes and the item to provide adequate room for cushioning. Fiberboard should have "pound test" strength of at least 175. This is usually shown in the box maker's certificate on the bottom of the box. Fragile articles must be individually cushioned, and all four sides of the container should be padded with cushioning material. Tape used to close containers should be reinforced and should cover and firmly secure all flaps. When paper must be used for the outer wrapping it should be at least equal in quality and strength to the kraft stock used for grocery bags. However, it is preferable that paper wrappers be omitted if the box itself constitutes an adequate shipping container. All packages should be closed and reinforced with reinforced (not masking) durably and clearly marked. Proper packaging is par- ticulary important for books and records. Because of their weight, books should be cushioned so they cannot shift within the box. It is not desirable to ship more than 25 lbs. of books in one package. The thin, long-playing records should be placed in a carton which is at least one-half of an inch thick. All packages that contain delicate articles should be adequately cushioned and marked - FRAGILE. Each package should contain the name and address of the person to whom it is being mailed inside the packjjfle as well as outside. An amress contained inside it assurance that it will be received promp­ tly even if the outside address Village of Woodstock, on or before 20th day of Dec., 1976 a default may be entered against you at any time after that day and a decree entered in ac­ cordance with the prayer of said Petition.

NEWS Herculean efforts on the part of Veterans administration employees at the VA Data Processing center at Hines, II., were reflected in monthly allowance checks totaling $400 million delivered to more than 1.2 million GI Bill students on Nov. 1. An 8 per cent increase in GI Bill assistance rates was signed into law by President Ford Oct. 15, retroactive to Oct. 1. Prepayment of the monthly allowances normally are computed by the Hines center in mid-month for delivery to U.S. Treasury disbursing centers to assure postal delivery on the first of the following month. "Our first-phase November payment tapes were ready to go to Treasury when we got word of the President's ac­ tion," Administrator of Veterans Affairs Richard L. Roudebush said. "Adding to the problem, it was a Friday." After a hurried conference between officials at Hines and the Departments of Data Management and Veterans Benefits in Washington, the decision was made to make the maximum effort and process not only the 8 per cent increase for November, but the retroactive amount due for October. For a single veteran, at­ tending school full time, the new monthly allowance is $292, up $22 from the previous rate. Thus, the November check for this veteran amounted to $314. Assuming the veteran's status remained unchanged in suc­ ceeding months, the rate would continue at $292. The new monthly rate for veterans enrolled in full-time training with one dependent is $347, for two dependents, $3%. For each additional dependent, the rate is'increased by $24. The 8 per cent increase applied to all GI Bill training, except flight training. Roudebush praised the em­ ployees of the Hines Data Processing Center. "This is indicative of the dedication shown by these people throughout the year," he said. Roudebush also cited the cooperation received from the Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Postal Service in issuing and delivering the processed checks. "This had to be a team effort," Roudebush said. "We're grateful for their timely assistance." Because of the priority placed on the GI Bill checks, some 16,000 checks for veterans enrolled in vocational rehabilitation training included only the 8 per cent increase in the November check. The retroactive amount due for October will be in a separate check, Roudebush said. Basic entitlement for all trainees was extended from 36 to 45 months. There was no change in the 10-year delimiting date. Veterans retain eligibility for training for 10 years after release from active duty or Dec. 31, 1989, whichever is earlier.
