Poet's Corner HOME Rested by sleep My soul awakes, Early morning quiet Surrounds me. My mind is alert. In the stillness Of the morning light. My heart smiles. My ear admits Familiar sounds. I am calm, Knowning, I belong. God's presence Makes me aware, Especially, that He Wants me here. Truly this new place Is my home.

The answers we got indicated that there's a lot of uncertainty about the value of conservation measures. So we're going to try to clear things up. The fact is, if the cost of natural gas rises, your gas bill will probably increase, even if you do take steps to cut your use of gas. But it will increase less than it would if you did nothing. And the money you spend to conserve gas will actually return to you many times over in years to come, in the form of savings on your gas bills. For example, if you need to replace your furnace, and spend an extra $600 on an energy efficient model rated at 82%, you could save 20% or more on your annual want to spend ... and save. There are also many other less expensive things you can do, some as simple as caulking or weather- stripping, that will also help reduce your use heating bill, or about $165 (based on the cost of gas. of heating a moderate sized home). In less The important thing to remember is, than 4 years, you'll have saved enough to get every dollar you spend to use less gas will back your $600. And every year after that, Will be getting $165 more in savings for as long as you own your home. There are several different energy efficient furnaces available from different manufacturers. They vary in both price and efficiency, so you can decide how much you come back to you, soon. And after that, it's just money in the bank, year after year. o NORTHERN ILLINOIS GAS OM ot thm NICOR HOW 10 SUBSCRIBE TO THE RMcHenrym aindealer The McHenry Plaindaolar 3812 W. Elm Street, McHenry.
