'I McCullom Lake )s« rst\ Dawn Miller 385-4901 Ready For A Hot, Hot Summer Make Plea To Fast Drivers As a mother of three children, I guess that I am more aware of speeding cars than someone without children. Just because the roads are clear (no snow or ice) does not give anyone the green light to speed. The signs clearly read 30 m.p.h., and that hardly allows enough time to stop for a darting two or three-year-old child. - Also ladies on their way to the beauty shops, the shops will still be open even though you're a few minutes late. Wouldn't you rather be safe or late than sorry? LADIES OF THE LAKE The ladies welcomed back three of their members at the June meeting. They are Mrs. Donkel, Mrs. Furlong and Mrs. Ilick. Glad to have you back. On Thursday, July 2, the ladies had their annual picnic at noon at Dorothy Weber's house. Those at­ tending enjoyed fried chicken and many delicious salads. Blueberry muffins and four different kinds of cakes were also enjoyed. After lunch, the eighteen ladies present held their monthly meeting. Then later everyone enjoyed playing some games. We're glad you all had such a pleasant day. GET WELL WISHES We are sending get well wishes to Annie Lenhart who has been in the hospital for the past six weeks with leg trouble. If anyone would like to send ho- a card, she's in the McHenry hospital, room 315, bed 1. We're all wishing Annie a speedy recovery and hope that she's home soon. NEW TEETER TOTTER Beach and Park Trustee Lois Parenti said she is very grateful to Kurt Weisneberger for work done on rebuilding a new teeter totter for the beach. I know the children and their parents appreciate his ef­ forts too. BEACH GALS The Beach Gals held their monthly meeting Wed­ nesday, July I, at the beach house and many topics were discussed. The Halloween committee was set up; four girls volunteered to chair this big event Also, the annual bowling night was set for Wed­ nesday, July 8, at a local bowling alley. The ladies are to meet at the beach at 1:90 p.m. and then will leave from there. After bowlinf, they plan to go out for pizza.

Although the summer season and alf its related activities are welcomed by McHenry C o u n t y r e s i d e n t s , summertime also brings dsys of uncomfortable heat creating conditions that require measures to deal with the weather. Some agency officials in McHenry county have offered advice on how to conserve energy and function <kring the long, hot days of summer. Many people utilize air- conditioning for relief from the heat, and Ron Russell, district manager for Commonwealth Edison, suggests use of the most efficient units available can mean substantial savings in consumption. Russeil says buyers should compare the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the air conditioning units. To determine the EER, divide die unit's BTU output by die rate of the energy required for operation. For example, a unit with an output of 12,000 BTUs, rated at 1,500 watts, would have an EER of eight. The higher the EER, the more cooling is achieved for the e n e r g y u s e d . Commonwealth Edison recommends units with an EER of at least eight People who are at home during the day should turn on their air conditioners before the heat builds up. For people who are away from home during the day, Russell suggests the use of timers to turn on the units about an hour before the occupants return. A f t e r , s u n d o w n , temperatures decrease, and air conditioners may be turned off at bedtime and windows opened to admit the cooler night air. Russell also notes the importance of good maintenance of air conditioning units for more efficient use. Heating and cooling registers also should be maintained well for good air flow. Russell recommends a thermostat setting of 78 degrees in the home. He ado consumers save about 5 percent in operating costs for every degree the thermostat is raised. Other measures suggested to conserve energy in the home include: drawing shades or curtains on south exposures to reduce heat gain from the sun; w e a t h e r s t r i p p i n g o r caulking and snutting doors and windows to reduce intake of hot air; reducing use of heat-producing appliances such as stoves ana irons; turning off air conditioners while away; removing furniture and other obstacles from heating and cooling registers; and dosing off rooms which are unused. ~ In addition, energy may be conserved by landscaping around homes, such as planting trees around southern and western exposures to block solar beat. Russell explains there is a difference in summer and winter electricity rates which reflect the higher cost of supplying electricity, particularly during summer peak loads. Russell says the rate for the four summer months of 8.5S6 cents per kilowatt hour can begin as early as Mav 14 or late as June 14 and end as early as Sept 14 or late as Oct. 14, depending upon when individual meters are read.

For automobiles, energy conservation is much the same in the summer as in the winter, according to the Chicago Motor Club, which suggests such measures as good maintenance and keeping vehicles in proper operating condition. However, the motor club advises the most fuel- efficient time to use air conditioning is during open road driving. Although the added weight of an air conditioner may decrease fuel efficiency, tests have shown that under certain conditions, the drag crested fay driving at 55 miles per hour with windows open can consume more fuel than using the air conditioner with the windows shut The least efficient time to use an air conditioner is in stop- and-go traffic. The motor club also advises not filling gasoline tanks to the brim. Tanks mav overflow if cars are pariced on an incline, and, in not weather, fuel expansion can lead to overflow even on level ground. Motorists also should make sure gas caps are designed to fit the car and that the caps are secured tightly. A light exterior car color combined with light interior upholstery and tinted windows also will reduce heat build-up to keep p a s s e n g e r s m o r e comfortable and to reduce the work of the air conditioner. In addition, the motor dub offers these other tips to motorists. Look for ways to plan motoring vacations with friends if mere is space for more passengers in the auto. Also, pack carefully because unnecessary weight in the trunk can reduce fuel economy and packing baggage on the roof creates fuel-robbing air resistance. Richard Wissell, director of the McHenry County Health department, offers this advice to hdp people take care of themselves during the summer. Wissell advises wearing sunglasses and using suntan lotion when going out of doors. Sunburns should be treated with ointment or cold cream, and more serious sunburns should be treated medically. People also should seek medical help for heat exhaustion, the symptoms of which are a Eale face, cold clammy skin, eavy perspiration and shallow breathing. Clothing should be loosened. In addition, medical treatment should be given for sunstroke, the symptoms of which are a red, dry face, hot skin, slow noisy breathing and loss of consciousness. Victims should be placed in the shade with their head raised and bathed with alcohol or warm water. People who suffer heart or respiratory conditions should avoid the heat by staying inside, using air conditioning or fans and (kinking large quantities of water. Wissell also offers these tips to cope with the heat: drink more liquids such as water, fruit juice or fruit based drinks; take cold baths; ventilate the home as much as possible; prepare meals early in the day if possible to reduce use of the PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER.
