However, there is a simple formula that can be used as a guide to estimate the approximate cost of operation. Here is the formula: power (watts) X „ costof consumed (1000) electricity (S-kwh) X cooling hours (hrs-yrs) equals estimated yearly operating cost ($-yr) • Using a model that has a capacity of 5,500 Btu-hr and a power consumption of 625 watts, with an electricity rate of three cents per kilowatt-hour and 1,000 cooling hours per year (about average for southeast and south central Kansas) the calculation is as follows: 625 watts X $.04 X 1,000 equals $25.00 1,000 estimated yearly operating cost (This is the first in a series of articles focusing on conservation tips, based on the fact that while people waste energy, houses do too). To make sure the air conditioner you buy will cost less to operate, you need to determine its Energy Efficiency Ratio. EER is similar to miles-per gallon rating for automobiles. Some manufacturers attach EER labels on the air conditioner. The higher the EER, the better. The EER or Energy Efficiency Ratio of a room air conditioner is a measure of the efficiency of the unit. TheEER's determined by dividing the cooling capacity (Btu- hr) by the electric power consumed (watts). There are so many factors that enter into the actual operating cost of any air conditioner that it is practically impossible to calculate. The most obvious of the differences that users will experience included individual thermostat setting, room and window construction, air leaks of rooins, number of door openings, and, of course, the hours of operation that each individual Violation, Fine In Conflict Of ryiforyour I Aichild'ssafety You don't have to be a doctor to help in the battle against the biggest killer and crippler of pre-school age chil­ dren, according to Dr. Albert H. Domm, child safety special­ ist and former medical director of Prudential Insurance Co. The killer Dr. Domm is talking about is not some dread disease but home ac­ cidents, which he defines as those which occur in the house, yard, or neighborhood. tAnd paren­tal care and caution can go a long way in win­ning the war against need­less mishaps, he says. Dr. Domm atrongly rec- Dr. Albert commends H. Domm that parents cheCk each and every room of the house as well as neighbor­ hood play areas for safety hazards. "Poisonous household sub­ stances and medicines should be kept in locked cabinets," he said. "Sharp instruments which can seriously maim or kill must be kept out of the \ reach of the curious toddler." Dr. Domm suggests fasten­ ing all windows securely and putting gates at the bottom <and top of stairways to pre­ vent injury from falls. Doors leading to outside balconies should be locked. For yard safety, Dr. Domm urges parents to fence off a protected play area for children. Dr. Domm also stresses the importance of parental re­ sponsibility for teaching good safety habitsv . ^J| l Interest Charge R. Daniel Malone of Crystal Lake, a former McHenry resident, was sentenced Tuesday afternoon to nine months of unsupervised probation, a $250 fine, and ordered to make restitution of $1,905 on each of the three charges of conflict of interest on which he was found guilty in 19th Judicial Circuit court, Woodstock. Malone had been charged in 1974 on counts of interest in contracts when, as a member of the Crystal Lake Community high school board, he voted on purchases made by the school district with a business lit which he had an interest. A notice of appeal against the conviction of Malrae will be filed within the nexrwo weeks'. Hold Inquest i In Suleld* Of Wauktgan Mm ' j An autopsy and inquest hai been scheduled in connection with the apparent suicide of a Waukegan man Wednesday evening in Richmond. Dead is Richard F.

The deceased was found on a deadend gravel lane juai east of Clark road in RichmondD Brittany Spaniel Since being introduced to the U.S. in the 1930s, Brit- tanys have grown steadily in popularity. Their compact size has helped make them hunting favorites. Standing 17% - 20% inches high and weighing just 30-40 pounds, Brittanys are well suited to the city dweller who wants to keep a gun dog. They need lots of exercise, but can tol­ erate apartment living. Brit­ tanys are long-legged white dogs with orange or chocolate markings. Their short, un- spaniel-like coats need only moderate grooming. Brittanys are bright, af­ fectionate and playful, though they don't take as well to rough-%pd-tumble family liv­ ing as some of the other sport­ ing breeds. Like all good bird dogs, they are highly train­ able, but training should be handled gently; harsh treat­ ment can break their sensitive spirits. Primarily one-person dogs, Brittanys are ideal pets for the older youngster or adult, someone with whom they can share long, happy tramps in the woods. Centuries ago in Europe, hunting was a privilege limited strictly to kings and noblemen. When a peasant wanted a rab­ bit or partridge for his table, he had to poach -- a risky venture, but a common one. Miss Peanut Crowned Excitement abounded at the Legion clubhouse Tuesday evening, where thirty, pretty young ladies -had assembled for the annual Little Miss Peanut com­ petition. There was girl talk, as evidenced by one of the pictures shown here, in which last year's title-, holder, Tracey Kotiw, takes the microphone to visit with some of the contenders. When the judging was over, it was 7-year-old Debbie Sundby who was the winner. She is the daughter of Mr.and Mrs. David Sundby of 1414 Freund avenue, McHenry. A poacher's success de­ pended largely on his dog, which had to be a quick, well- disciplined, all-purpose hunt­ er. In the French province of Brittany, the working classes developed a dog specifically for their illegal forays: the Brittany Spaniel. Despite their name, Brittanys pointed like setters, rather than flush­ ing birds in spaniel fashion, but they were true spaniels, in speed and accuracy of re­ trieving. And like spaniels, they worked close to their masters. Today, Brittanys are still prized for their combined setter-spaniel traits. They are equally at ease pointing quail or retrieving ducks, there's hardly any terrain they don't enjoy. The Brittany is one of the most adaptable of th» sporting breed#. < \ . i)v' J'i O'ISi . j._.
