NI-Gas will make an initial donation to. inaugurate SHARING and match funds received from customers, suppliers and stocks holders of its parent, NICOR Inc. promoted Several df our*readers have asked what we predict for the real estate industry in this new year, so we took a look at our crystal ball and here's what we see in 1983. Realtors are increasingly optimistic about the future of the real estate industry. Mortgage inten^rates are expected to be lower over th6 first six months of 1983 with credit to be generally more available in the short run. The future of mortgage rates beyond six months is virtually im­ possible to predict. The composition of households is expected to change significantly during the next 10 years, and that change will have important effects on the demand for particular types of housing units. There are strong reasons to suspect that women, as well as men, will continue to delay marriage so tluU non-family households will account for a greater share of all households. This will cause condominiums and townhouses to be in greater deiinand than larger homes. Because the 1980's are like'y to have a higher percentage of older people than previous decades, there are likely to be fewer resales then we JUNE ADAMS At a recent board of directors meeting of the First National Bank of McHenry, June Adams, an eight-year bank employee, was named loan officer. Mrs.- Adams will have the responsibilities of student loans as well as other consumer loans. Mrs. Adams, a Johnsburg resident, is married to Norbert Adams; they have two children, Dawn and Jeffrey. FCC BELL RULING The PhoneCenter store sign came down at 227 W. Judd street, Wood­ stock. It is being replaced with a sign reading Illinois Bell Service center. "It is more than a change of name," said Stan Jozwiak, community relations manager. Under a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruling issued in October, 1981, Illinois Bell and other Bell operating com­ panies nationwide are responsible, effective Jan. 1, for providing basic regulated telecommunications ser­ vices only. Customers seeking to install newly purchased telephone equipment are able to get that equipment from American Bell, Inc., a newly-formed Bell system sub­ sidiary. All American Bell equipment is offered for sale only. Customers alsp have the option of acquiring telephone equipment from non-Bell suppliers. JOHN F. LAMP!

But the decrease in resales should cause home construction to boom by at least 29 percent in 1983 and even more in years to come. The rate of increase in home prices has moderated quite a bit over the past year, averaging about 2 percent or less. Recent declines in mortgage interest rates have raised the long- term outlook for home price ap­ preciation. ̂ However, for the next six months, realtors expect the rate of home price appreciation to continue at its current pace or slower. All in all, an air of optimism prevails and we look forward to a recovering (if not totally healthy) real estate market in 1983. Set European Study Program Applications and reservations are now being accepted from area residents from teen-age through adult who want to devote at least 17 days learning about the history, art, and culture of London, P&ris, the French Chateaux Regionf Florence, Rome, Venice, Munich, Amsterdam, and Lucerne ^ Undergraduate and graduate credit is available for the study programs to Europe, according to Erwin Cor­ nelius, a community-college in­ structor for the past 15 years. "It is our purpose to offer quality educational programs abroad which focus on three or four major artistic centers in Western Europe. Our programs began nine years ago as an effort to encourage area community colleges to offer educationally valid experiences to residents, regardless of age or educational level. Our participants range in age from 18 to 70 years of age, and do not have to be enrolled presently at a community college or university. High school juniors and seniors are also eligible", said Cornelius, who has led com­ munity college groups to Europe since 1974.
