PAGE 12 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24,1982 Install Pastor Of Bible Church THE REV. MERLE D. CONKLIN On Sunday, Sept. 26, at 2:30 p.m., several charter members and the Rev. Richard N. Wright will be present at an installation service as Merle D. Conklin is installed as pastor of the Wonder Lake Bible church. This is just one week before the church's 27th anniversary. Over 30 years ago, a small group of people met in a home on Sunday af­ ternoons during the summer in Wonder Lake for Sunday school. The group grew, people began to be in the area all year, and the Wonder Lake Gospel center was formed, guided by the Rev. Anderson, who was semi- retired. By 1957, there were enough wor­ shippers that the work had grown enough for a full time pastor. The Rev. Anderson recommended that the loosely organized group call someone younger as he entered retirement. In May of 1955, Richard N. Wright was called, and moved to Wonder Lake with his little family in July. In October of 1955, the Wonder Lake Bible church received its charter from the state of Illinois. Twenty- seven years later, in May of 1982, the congregation called Merle D. Conklin as its second pastor. He moved to Wonder Lake with his family in July. Pastor Conklin comes most recently from the Gibson City Bible church in Gibson City, 111., where he served as pastor and director of pastoral staff for seven years. Prior to that he has served as Pastor of Chesterfield United church, Chesterfield, 111; Fiatt Christian church (Independent), Fiatt, 111.; and Coal Creek Bible church, London Mills, 111. He is a graduate of Farmington Community high school. Farmington, 111; Moody Bible institute, Chicago; Blackburn college, Carlinville, 111.; and has done graduate studies at Trini'y Evangelical Divinity school in Deerfield. is Your Home Really Covered? 1'iuuM.uiiy AYOur r-ome CoM^rPollcy Asw y 1 AMERICAN FAMILY CHUCK LEWANDOWSKI 1308 N.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Outdoor Club Changes Policies by Myrtle Procter Changes in the Johnsburg Outdoor club policies were suggested to the school board at a recent meeting. Dave Rigby, sponsor of the club, of­ fered three reasons for needed changes including: any seven-year program needs revision; changes in family and financial concerns; and the students wanting membership in the J.O.C. for status rather than wanting to work in and for the outdoors. Rigby suggested changes in membership participation, number of trips, and selection of members for trips. After discussion with the board, Rigby was granted permission to implement these changes. The board also took under study the providing of transportation for the outdoor trips at the board's expense. Bob Gough, high school principal, submitted a full year follow-up report on the North/ Central Evaluation recommendations regarding John­ sburg high school. Of the 221 recommendations, Gough stated 103 had been accepted and accomplished; 42 had been rejected as inappropriate, and 76 needed further study. i ;f!f> I 'W'f (Bruise %s. • f % On Dry Land Tuesday, September 2vth s y travel Gala SERVICE ON THE SQUARE IN WOODSTOCK 815-338-6800 Cruise Night Come aboard on Tuesday evening, September 28th, for an adventurous visit thru the exciting world of sea going travel...from 4 until 9 p.m. WOODSTOCK OPERA HOUSE On the Historic Square On board to show and tell you everything you need to know about magnifi­ cent "all inclusive" vacations will be representatives from internationally re­ nowned steamship lines and a Delta airlines pilot, because many cruise vaca­ tions include free or loip-cost flying to and from your sailing gateways. •FREE ADMISSION •REFRESHMENTS •SLIDE and FILM PRESENTATIONS •FASHION SHOW, COURTESY OF WIEN'S OF WOODSTOCK •REGISTER FOR FREE GIFTS (No purchase neffcwry) 1*71 i * Pearl Cruiser of Scandinavia i World Cruises Norwegian Caribbean Unes FVincess Cruises ̂ 21 a urchase necessary) mm DELTA Join us for a memorable adventure... cruise offerings range from inexpensive to 50 and 60 day South Pacific voyages. • something in all price rdnges.

We have replaced some of the electric wiring and added new wiring for ap- pliances. I'd like to have the entire wiring system checked because we have a large family and often blow fuses when the hair dryer, vacuum cleaner and other appliances are used at the same time. 1 can't afford the expense of new wiring now. I think the problem could be solved if I can only stop the family .from using too many small appli­ ances at the same time. The question is, however, is there potential danger, since we're always blowing fuses? You need to have a qualified electrician check your wiring system. Blown fuses are the result of overload. It is possible that the total wiring is adequate, but some redistribution is required. But, consider the cost of a wir­ ing inspection a precaution, rather than an expense. Do gutters need to be cleaned before painting? If so, how? Gutters should be cleaned before painting. The clean­ ing process depends upon the type of gutter. Scouring powder works well on stainless steel. Use fine steel wool for aluminum and vinegar on stainless steel. Be sure the gutter is clean and dry and prime with zinc chromate primer before painting. t NOTICE McHENRY COUNTY ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL IS NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE FALL TERM FOR INFORMATION , _ CALL (815) 338-7363 ALEXANDER LUMBER CO "BEST OF EVERYTHING FOR THE BUILDER" FEATURING COMPLETE LINES OF: •OLYMPIC STAIN •KEMPER-MILLCREEK CABINETS •ANDERSEN WINDOWS •PREHUNG DOORS •NORD SPINDLES •ARMSTRONG CEILING SYSTEMS •LINCOLN WINDOWS •GAF SHINGLES •BUILDERS HARDWARE •PREFINISHED PANELING •STANLEY GARAGE DOOR OPERATORS Phone 385-1424 909 N.
