H-J .WLJgJ.lWLkA.AJUB Ringwood News Doris Low Kqty Christopher 653-9262 385-8037 Hold Northern Pump Reunion No one seemed to mind the rain last Sunday afternoon when some of the former Northern Pump employees gathered at Clarence and Berni^e Etten's for a reunioO. The tables and chairs Were moved from the lawtf Into the garage where everyone enjoyed delicious food and a lot of visiting. There were about seventy- five in attendance including family members and some grandchildren. As a member of this group, it made your reporter realize how quickly the years pass - the toddlers who were living here *when we moved to Northern Pump farms, 26 years ago are now young adults, many married with toddlers of their own. We were happy that a visit home by Randy and Anne Scott of Julesburg, Colo., and Dave Christopher of Farmington, coincided with this event so they all could attend. Bernice and Clarence did a great job of organizing this happy oc casion and we hope the idea will carry on. ICE CREAM SOCIAL There will be an old- fashioned ice cream social held at the Greenwood United Methodist church Wednesday evening, Aug. 19. Hope to see you there.

CONDOLENCES The Ringwood church community was deeply saddened this week to learn of the death of Mrs. Mildred Kelley last Saturday. She was enjoying a vacation trip in the East with family members at the time. Our sincere sympathy goes out to her family. Mrs. Kelley would have been 79 next Christmas day. ^ BAPTISM Former residents, Dennis and Jackie Steinmetz of East Moline, were back home in July for a visit and to have their infant son, Adam Brent, baptized on Sunday, July 19. Little Adam, born June 7, was baptized by Father Neville in St. Joseph's church, Richmond. Godparents are an aunt and uncle, Laurie Granahan and Randy Hides. Besides all the aunts, uncles and cousins in at tendance, there was one very special person, maternal great-grandfather Jacob Bizak of Chicago. Roy and Bea Steinmetz had a family dinner for Dennis' relatives the night before and Ed and Lorraine Granahan entertained Jackies' family following the baptism.- VISITORS Sunday found a house full at the Walt Lows. Reason being that Doris' brother Darold and wife Lorie Thomas arrived at her mom's Thursday of last week, from Phoeniz, Az. They spent the time with Mabel Thomas but on Sunday all gathered to visit and some of the neices and nephews got reacquainted with their uncle Darold and aunt Lorie. A good time was had by all and everyone sure enjoyed the watermelon. Too bad the weather prevented outside activity but that didn't hamper the visiting. They left from O'Hare Monday evening, but because of the air strike, they were delayed to a later flight.

Quist, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs.Donald Quist of McHenry, has enlisted in the U.S. Army for three years. David wiR be leaving for Ft. McClellan, Ala., Aug. 12, where he will begin his seven weeks of basic training. Upon graduating, he will begin specialized training period for another seven weeks in the Military Police academy. Following completion and graduation from this specialized training, Dave will begin his duties as an MP stationed at Ft. Carson, Colo. The most important ap pliance in a home this summer may be the air conditioner. Here are some tips which will help an air conditioner work more ef ficiently and keep the family cool longer. ...Don't fiddle with the thermostat. Set the tem perature to a comfortable level and forget it. Excessive "on and offing" can damage the components of the unit. Besides, energy will be wasted as the air conditioner tries to keep up with your changing cooling demand. ...If your clothes dryer vent is close to the air conditioner or heat pump, consider other ways of venting the dryer. Hot vapor from the dryer places an extra load on the air con ditioner. Lint from the vent can cause damage. ...Run appliances such as a clothes (fryer and do as much cooking as possible in the early morning hours. This is better than at night because in the evening on a hot day, the air conditioner is still working to bring down the temperature from the daytime heat. ...Keep curtains closed on sunny windows during the day. Homes in humid areas should be kept "closed", with the air conditioning turned on during July and August-even if the weather is cool but humid, say the experts. Because dryer air seems cooler than humid air, your air conditioner can be "on" less when the humidity is low. ...Trim shrubbery and limbs back. Landscaping that hides an air conditioner or heat pump may look more pleasing but reduces ef ficiency by curtailing air movement. Shrubs could cause damage if leaves or twigs are sucked into the unit. ...Have the unit cleaned and checked by a qualified service representative. Coils should be cleaned. This is a job some homeowners can undertake themselves but first they should have the dealer's service represen tative do it and observe- especially learn how to properly shut off electricity to the unit. ...Filters, too, need to be cleaned, if permanent type. Disposable ones should be thrown away. Check these once a month. It is a good idea to buy a throw-away filter to use while the per- PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. AUGUST 7,1981 manent filter is being cleaned (with a garden hose on the driveway) and is drying. Remember When There must be some old timers who remember when movies had people sitting up in love scenes. -Stinger, Midway Island. Caa Nature Pollute? Nature may be hazardous to your health. Nature does not appear to have done too much damage so far, except in some isolated instances. But when the chemicals it naturally releases combine with what man puts into the air, for example, the results under certain circum stances can be harmful enough to affect living things. / • y A H d> « PONTIACS © | The McHenry Plaindealer § Ml2 W•>( Elm StrMl (USPS 335-100) Established 1(75 McHvnry.
