*»w !iliW^> PAGE 12 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 23,1979 Harnessing The Wind Demonstrating the crucial need for finding alternative energy resources, McHenry County Well & Pump company in McHenry is constructing an 80-foot windmill at its office site, 3200 N. Richmond road. The windmill is the tallest of its type manufacture. In fact, windmills as large are no longer offered for sale. Most windmills currently being manufactured reach a maximum height of 47 feet. Some windmills still stand in the area, representing a previous golden age, but few remain in operation. The windmill will serve a 160-foot well which has already been drilled. The well is 8-inches in diameter and an electric test pump showed a capacity of 55 gallons a minute. On display for all energy-conscious people, the windmill will be in actual operation. It will have a pumping capacity up to 3,300 gallons per hour. "This windmill is one of a kind," explained McHenry County Well & Pump owner, Fred H. Matthesius. The windmill will represent the necessity of harnessing the wind, an unlimited resource, to help conserve energy. As contemporary energy costs increase, the popularity of windmills is once again on the upswing. "It is extremely low-cost power" reported Matthesius, "there is nothing to buy after the initial installation, the wind is free!" The windmill will be in operation shortly, just north of McHenry on Route 31, demonstrating another possible, and probable, means of saving energy, using natural resources always available.

When members of the Kishawukee Trail chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution meet Tuesday, May 29, at their noon meeting at the Woodstock Elks club, they will find out. Bill Russell, an Illinois Bell volunteer speaker, will explore the amusing byways of telephone history to com­ memorate the 100th birthday of the telephone. Ruseell's talk is called, "Operator, Will You Speak To My Dog?", or, "The Laughter and Tears of the First Hundred Years."" Featured will be pictorial glimpses of the early, days of the phone company when installers rode to their jobs on bicycles and the operators wore their dresses at the daring length of three in­ ches above the floor in order not to stir up dust which could clog switchboard plugs.

PARENTHOOD 6UIDEBOOK By Nancy Moon Thurmond (author, Mother's Medicine. Pub. by Wm. Morrow, N.Y.) Each meal should contain a protein food, whether a meat or a meat substitute. The pro­ tein family includes all animal meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dried beans, dried peas and nuts. Because meats are expen­ sive, shop frugally and take advantage of specials-chil­ dren often like meals with in­ expensive meats or meat sub­ stitutes just as well. One of the problems pre­ school children have with meats is chewing them. Some will chew and chew and then remove with their fingers the wadded remains! A child's chewing ability is limited; he may gag on meat if it's tough or not cut into small, bite-size pieces. Meats cooked slowly at a [ low to moderate temperature thave greater tenderness. Chil­ dren generally prefer their meats only mildly seasoned. Most want to know what they're eating. This means stews and casseroles which appear as mushy goulash will either have to be cleverly in­ troduced, or explained, or avoided-in some cases. Serve the preschooler as much variety in meats as you can and he'll adjust better to the meat family as he grows. Poultry is relatively a good buy in the United States and when buying, figure V* to Vi pound per serving. Fish is very high in protein and low in cholesterol and fresh fish-if available-should be part of children's diets early, so they develop a taste for sea food, which they can enjoy, and benefit from, the rest of their lives.

Criticism springs from two sources-intelligent disapproval and emotional reaction. m e r i c a n V i e w p o i n t s During every war there are stirring deeds of great valor, many of which are never re­ corded by the historians or long remembered by man. But the incident memori­ alized by a three-cent stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Serv­ ice May 28, 1948, was surely one of the most courageous and inspiring events in Ameri­ can history. On February 3, 1943, the troop-carrier S.S. Dorchester was plying through icy waters, bound for Greenland with hun­ dreds of American soldiers aboard. Suddenly there was a thunderous roar. Steam and oil burst from the ship's engine room. The vessel had been hit broadside by a German torpedo. Officers and medics work­ ed desperately to save lives, even as the ship took on water and began to sink. They were assisted by four chaplains-Lt. Clark V. Poling and Lt. George L. Fox, Protestant ministers; Lt. John P. Washington, a Catholic priest; and Lt. Alex­ ander D. Goode. a Jewish rabbi. The four chaplains handed out life jackets and helped the soldiers and sailors into lifeboats. When the lifeboats were full and all the life jackets gone, each chaplain removed his own life jacket and gave it to another. As the Dorchester sank beneath the waves, men in the lifeboats could see the four chaplains on the deck, linked arm-in-arm, their voices raised in prayer. • • • * The span of life is too short for any man to learn enough to brag about, o o o * It's all right to work by a schedule if you can keep up with the schedule. • * * • A matter of principle is often a cloak to conceal an exhibition of selfishness.
