PAGE 18 - PLAINDEAtER • FRIDAY, DECEMBER It, 1977 Ambitious Effort-A Success On Saturday, Dec. 10, the Beach Gals of McCullom Lake presented a play called "The Nutcracker.." The Christmas committee, chaired by Karen Parks and consisting of Lesley Curran, Barbara Elliott, Sharon Grutzmacher, Florence Hegg, Pam Jacobs, Cindy Martini, and JoAnne Weisenberger, studied several projects before deciding on the play. "The Nutcracker" based on the Nutcracker Suite by Tschaikovsky was •chosen because it involved a maximum number of acting roles. The play was directed by Barbara Elliott with Lesley Curran assisting.

GIANT DECEMBER DISCOUNTS 11 • MICROWAVE Demonstration This Saturday 12-3pm December 17 Lee & Ray Electric 1005 N. Front (S. Rte. 31) McHenry, III. 385-0882 As the first session of the 95th Congress draws to a close, the major piece of un­ finished business is the pend­ ing legislation to set a na­ tional energy policy. Even though only a few days remain before Members of Congress go home for the holidays, we should not lose this opportunity to negotiate on key provisions of the en­ ergy legislation. Both Congress and the Administration are anxious to reach agreements so we can forge a sensible energy policy this year. Up to now, Congress has failed to address the basic energy interests of the Ameri­ can people. We seem incap­ able of making hard choices today in the public interest to prevent energy shortages and resulting economic hardship in the future. We need consider what will happen if we continue to squander energy instead of making an effort to conserve. About three quarters of the energy we use comes from oil and natural gas. These energy supplies are finite, yet we use them as if they will never be exhausted. The oil we take out of the ground is irreplaceable. One quart of oil, which took mil­ lions of years to create, will produce the energy needed to light three 100-watt bulbs for only one day. It is gone, then, forever. Growth in energy demand can continue at its present rate for only a few years. The necessary adjustment can come either voluntarily through deliberate policy ini­ tiatives, or involuntarily with resulting economic disruption and increased dependence on foreign oil. In developing a national en­ ergy policy, we need to get back to basics by encouraging and rewarding energy con­ servation, not energy use. The Senate accepted five Of my amendments to the Senate Energy Tax Bill to help reach that end. These are conserva­ tion measures, but more in­ centives are needed to make energy conservation a way of life in America. *,• If the energy legislation finally passed by Congress in­ cludes a well-head tax, which I think it will, one of my ^amendments to the Energy Tax Bill would provide tax re­ lief for states. Cash rebates, which would provide Illinois with $18.4 million a year for the next four years, could be used only for road repairs such as resurfacing, rehabilita­ tion and reconstruction. Motor vehicle taxes are a main source of funds for state road maintenance. If conser­ vation means that states lose money collected through mo­ tor vehicle taxes, then the Federal government should compensate states for their losses. Another amendment I pro­ posed that was accepted by the Senate provides a 10 per cent investment tax credit for high-efficiency electric motors. Motors use 60 per cent of all electricity produced in this country. High-efficiency mo­ tors can save at least one- third the energy consumed by average efficiency models. There are many ways to en­ courage Americans to conserve energy. I hope Congress takes the tough approach at this critical juncture of the energy crossroads. We must act in the public interest so that our alarming dependence on foreign oil is reduced and we can avoid eco­ nomic disruption and possible threats to our national secur­ ity. Think Safety! Home Workshop Safety A Service of Underwriter* Laboratories Inc. With inflation driving up­ ward the prices of home im­ provement and accessories, do-it-yourselfers are turning to their home workshops to make their own improve­ ments, repairs, etc. Careless­ ness, and being unfamiliar with safety rules, often results in accidents. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), an independent, not-for-profit or­ ganization testing for public safety, offers the following suggestions to- keep in mind while working in one of the most hazardous areas of the home - the workshop. * Never wear neck ties, jewelry or loose-fitting cloth­ ing with baggy sleeves, which can be entangled in power tools.. A snug-fitting shop apron, safely tied in the back, provides good protection against tool moving parts. * Keep work-bench free of litter and floor clear of loose pieces of lumber, nails, etc. * Store all combustible fluids such as solvents, thin­ ners, etc. outdoors or in a low fire probability location. Store oily rags in enclosed metal containers, disposing of them soon and frequently. * Keep a fully-charged UL, listed Class B & C or an A,B,C multi-purpose fire ex­ tinguisher handy for flamma­ ble liquid and electrical fires. * Keep hands away from moving saw blades, drill bits, router cutters, etc. Use a notched stick to push wood McHENRY, ILL SHOP INSIDE IN OUR 4k HEATED, LIGHTED ̂(J- SHOWROOM!

Follow the instruction manual for their use. * Electrical supply cords of all power tools should ter­ minate in a 3-pin grounding plug, which should be con­ nected to a 3-terminal re­ ceptacle. Make certain that the ground terminal is really grounded, a qualified electri­ cian can determine this. When necessary, adapters should be provided for two-pin plugs, and the green-wire pigtail of the adapter securely fastened to the center screw support­ ing the receptacle box cover. Again, make certain that the receptacle box is property grounded. * Wear uafety glasses or goggles. * Look fot the UL Listing Mark on all power tools. This indicates that the design of such equipment has been tested, and found to meet re­ cognized safety requirements. B 12!
