The area, according to Craig Miller, leader of the trip, is considered one of the top birding spots in Chicago. Waterfowl will be seen in abundance. Migrating warblers will be an added at­ traction. On an open neck of land jutting out into Lake Michigan, a flowering hedge provides an opportunity to see warblers at eye leirel. For best viewing of the" waterfowl, an arrival time of 7 a.m. is recommended. Allow 45 minutes to an hour for the trip. For further details call Crj Miller at (312) 65fc2403.

Recycling saves energy, resource! »t 1 "The nation's glass container manufacturers bought back and reprocessed a record total of over a billion pounds of used bottles and jars in 1983," ac­ cording to the Glass Packaging Institute. The trade association says that, "Nearly 3.75 billion glass containers were diverted f)*om the litter and solid waste streams. This represents more " than 16 bottles and jars for every woman and child in the '.S." While this represents an icrease of 11 percent over 1982, still represents a fairly small srcentage of the total glass containers used.

' '• v Because heat pumps lose capac i t y as the ou t - v side temperature dropa At some point, usually right around freezing, they need help from a backup heating system. - > Usually, it's electric ~ resistance heating, so you end up heating your home with one of the costliest heating systems just when the weather gets really cojd. In contrast, gas furnaces and boilers have no trouble coping efficiently with severe winters. Whatever the outside temperature, the neyv high efficiency models can continue to " ... squeeze up to 95% of the available heat out of every cubic foot of gas. So you're getting maximum efficiency to minimize heating costs in bitter cold weather. Another argument for a gas furnace or boiler is the cost of natura^gas itself. Today, it's the least expensive fuel available in this area, ̂ nd current forecasts indicate it will continue to maintain a strong competitive advantage for years to come. If you're thinking about adding to or replacing yo^ home # heating system, we strongly suggest you go with natural gas.
