SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLA1NDEALER - PAGE 17 -FRIDAY, MARCH 23,1979 FIBER GLASS INSULATION is available in batts or blankets (meaning pre-cut or in rolls) and is easily in­ stalled in accessible open areas either by a contractor or do-it-yourselfer. Fiber glass insulation for year-round savings With all that has been said about the energy crisis and with homeowners experienc­ ing the reality of rising fiiel costs, many homeowners are taking the necessary steps to insulate their homes as well as they possibly can. Still, there are some who put off doing what they know to be important. Possibly many homeown­ ers feel that insulation proves itself most effective in keep­ ing a house warm in winter, thereby helping control heat­ ing bills. They should realize that insulation is equally im­ portant in hot weather. Proper insulation will cut the energy used for air condi­ tioning. Insulation helps keep homes consistently comfortable and this comfort factor also applies to homes that are not air conditioned. "When it comes to insula­ tion, most people are aware of the fact,that the preferred material is liber glassy\says Joseph D. Murphy, ueheral Merchandise Manager of Johns-Manville. 4 'The reason for this is that ' fiber glass insulation, exclu­ sive of facings, is fire resis- /tant, impervious to moisture and rot and, once it is prop- available in batts or blankets (meaning pre-cut or in rolls) and is easily installed in ac­ cessible open areas either by a contractor or do-it-your­ selfer. The attic area is a prime target for reinsulation in many older homes. If there is no insulation in the attic, fiber glass faced with kraft paper or foil is recommended. If there is some insulation al­ ready in the attic, unfaced batts or rolls should be laid on top of the existing insula­ tion. "The contractor or build­ ing supply dealer can tell you what you need to do the job," continues Murphy. "Insula­ tion comes in various thicknesses from R-ll to R-30. It is important to buy insulation by R-value, not by inches. The higher the R-value, the better the insu­ lation. "One of the important facts about fiber glass batts and rolls," concludes Johns-Manville's Murphy, "is that these products are quality-controlled at the fac­ tory. This gives them advan­ tages over blowing wool or foam type insulations.

Now that winter's snows have re­ ceded, revitalize your think­ ing . . . and enjoy the warm weather. Here are some suggestions to help you prepare for Spring both in and out-of- doors: • Restock your kitchen-- it's a much-frequented place in warm weather. Reorganize pantry and refrigerator shelves so that between- m e a l s n a c k s a n d f r u i t juices are in easy-to-reach p l a c e s . T o q u i c k l y a n d easily clean-up greasy spills a n d s p l a t t e r s , u s e Grease relief™ all-purpose degreaser. Simply spray the d e g r e a s e r d i r e c t l y o n t o washable kitchen surfaces and un-plugged appliances a n d w i p e w i t h a d a m p sponge. • Reaffirm your special interest: join a theatre group; take a course at a local col­ lege; renew your library card and borrow this year's best seller. • Reassemble your lawn furniture and relax in a re­ freshing Spring breeze. Re­ plant the garden . . . and teach the kids how plants grow by letting them plant carrot tops and fruit seeds. „ • Re-enact a New Year's resolution: resist fattening foods. • Also, get together with friends at someone's house and form your own private "health spa." Begin by doing calisthenics to an inexpen­ sive exercise record. Serve a low-calorie lunch to every­ one, and spend the afternoon giving each other facials and manicures or experimenting with new hairstyles. PRE­ SEASON ciM CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING 24,000 O.T.U.
