RECREATION BOARD MEETS The regular meeting of the Northern Illinois Special Recreation association board of directors will be held Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. at the NISRA office, (7908 West Route 14, Crystal Lake.) Why does a cooling of the air often produce clouds? The air always contains a certain amount of moisture. When there are no clouds in the sky. the moisture is invisible, but it's there. Cool­ ing condenses air and re­ duces its capacity to retain water. In doing so, the invisible water particles in the air be- • come relatively greater in content and finally become visible dorplets of moisture. A cloud, then, is the result of cooling of air, which changes invisible moisture into visible form. This cooling process also produces fog-the lowest of the clouds. The sun's heating of the earth, which, in turn, heats the air above it. which rises and is cooled in the higher altitude causes the formation of most clouds. * • * • Learn to think for yourself; only then will you be able to live as a real human being.

Q. With interest rates running as high as they ere now, wouldn't we be better off to postpone borrowing until they go down? A. Whether or not to borrow money is always a decision dictated by in­ dividual needs. Many people have now been putting off for a year or more major purchases which will require borrowing money. In some cases the need for those p u r c h a s e s m a y b e becoming critical. And in many cases the price of the purchase has gone up enough to more than offset the interest that would have been paid on the money required. Two things are worth remembering. One . . . never borrow unless you have a real need for the funds. Two ... in today's economic situation, no one can promise that interest rates will go down. Cer­ tainly not anytime soon. We realize that every situation varies and always recommend a personal discussion of your needs with your own banker. sal S m. 0 With Our Exclusive In-The-Door Silverware Basket Wjm m Undercounter Model SDU 7002 • 4 pushbutton automatic cycles: Super Scour, Super A Special Christmas Value Wash.
