The U.S. Census Bureau has a number of temporary jobs open during the next few weeks in McHenry county to help prepare address lists for use during the 1980 census. Temporary census workers usually will work three to four weeks each and will be paid on a pre-address collected basis. Applicants for the jobs must be 18 years old or over, a U.S.1 citizen, and pass a written test. The work involves driving or walking to compile lits of ad­ dresses of each dwelling unit in designated areas of the county. These address lists will play a vital role in taking the 1980 census. They will be used to produce mailing lables for the census questionnaires to be sent to each household in America March 28, 1980. Then, a few weeks following the April 1 Census day, census officials will use the address lists to determine which households have not returned their com­ pleted questionnaires. Census takers must then be sent to each non-responding household to collect the information required on the census form. How Safe it Ifour Bike?

A^AIN, McHENRY 385-0294 Solar Designs When building or purchasing a home, keep in mind there are two types of solar designs available: "active", which implies the use of solar equipment such as roof-top collectors; and "passive", which uses the house itself as a solar collector. In a passive system, the structure is designed to admit the sun's heat in winter, but to provide shade for summer. Proper planning for the use of solar energy can help reduce your utility costs. 1' PAGE 22 • PLA1NDEALER • FRIDAY, MAY 18,1979 Here Rnd Thar* In Business Ingleside Man Retires From Edison Career Electric Rates Up Commonwealth Edison reminds its 2.5 million residential customers that higher summer electricty rates started into effect May 15. Depending on when a customer's meter is read, the summer rate period may begin as early as May 15 or end as late as Oct. 15. However, the period will never exceed four months. Hates are lower during the other eight months. Edison began a seasonal rate structure to reflect the higher cost of producing electricity in summer. Heavy use of air conditioning and other heat relief devices create the need for investment in expensive new facilities to meet peak loads, Edison believes the new seasonal rates will help limit demands on its system and conserve electricity by providing more incentive to hold down summertime use.

Home Building Delayed Ground conditions are so poor that home building schedules have been pushed back two to three months, reports the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago (HBAGC), trade association of the area's leading builders. "We're asking people who have bought new homes and are waiting for construction to begin and those who have moved into homes and are waiting for the ground to be graded, seeded or sodded to be patient", said C. Cass Collins, HBAGC president. This past winter's record snows fell on unfrozen ground, and when the snow melted, most of the mositure had penetrated' into the soil, making it soft and unable to support the load •V r. ~ - * * •*-- ^ t * t r * Recruit Census machinery. Heavy spring rains only added to the quagmire. Collins said the softness of the ground has prevented builders from completing the finish grading of sites on which homes have been completed and occupied. "The ground has to be graded so that water flows away from the foundation", Collins said. "If this isn't done, then water can collect in pockets next to the foundation and seep into thdl crawl space or basement. This doesn't mean the foundation is defective. It's a problem that will be cured by grading, but until the* ground dries out, builders can't grade." In addition, the long siege of cold weather followed by the » * * vV# > > t * I * * rainy season has made it dif­ ficult to do exterior work, such as pouring concrete and painting exteriors. "We know that as soon as the weather turns warm and dry, builders will be beseiged with calls from people demanding to know why work isn't being done now on their house or lot," he said. "It's not because the builder is sloughing off; it's because he's working like the devil to catch up." Collins pointed out that even when warm dry weather returns, it will take awhile for the ground to become suf­ ficiently firm to support heavy machinery such as graders, and to permit seeding, sodding and planting. oyees Caplan To Address H'SQC The Northeastern Illinois section of the American Society for Qaulity Control will hold its monthly meeting Thursday, May 24, at the Mundelein Holiday Inn.
