Ready For A Hot, Hot Summer Make Plea To Fast Drivers As a mother of three children, I guess that I am more aware of speeding cars than someone without children. Just because the roads are clear (no snow or ice) does not give anyone the green light to speed. The signs clearly read 20 m.p.h., and that hardly allows enough time to stop for a darting two or three-year-old child. . Also ladies on their way to the beauty shops, the shops will still be open even though you're a few minutes late. Wouldn't you rather be safe or late than sorry? LADIES OF THE LAKE The ladies welcomed back three of their members at the June meeting. They are Mrs. Donkel, Mrs. Furlong and Mrs. Ilick. Glad to have you back. On Thursday, July 2, the ladies had their annual picnic at noon at Dorothy Weber's house. Those at tending enjoyed fried chicken and many delicious salads. Blueberry muffins and four different kinds of cakes were also enjoyed. After lunch, the eighteen ladies present held their monthly meeting. Then later everyone enjoyed playing some games. We're glad you all had such a pleasant day. GET WELL WISHES We are sending get well wishes to Annie Lenhart who has been in the hospital for the past six weeks with leg trouble. If anyone would like to send her a card, she's in the McHenry hospital, room 315, bed 1. We're all wishing Annie a speedy recovery and hope that she's home soon. NEW TEETER TOTTER Beach and Park Trustee Lois Parenti said she is very grateful to Kurt Weisneberger for work done on rebuilding a new teeter totter for the beach.

Shaw News Media Hot enough for you? and alT its related activities are welcomed by McHenry C o u n t y r e s i d e n t s , summertime also brings days of uncomfortable heat creating conditions that require measures to deal with the weather. Some agency officials in McHenry / county have offered advice on how to conserve energy and function during the long, hot days of summer. Many people utilize air- conditioning for relief from the heat, and Ron Russell, district manager for Commonwealth Edison, its use of the most it units available can mean substantial savings in consumption. < Russell says buyers should ire the energy r ratio (EER) of the air conditioning units. To determine the EER, divide the unit's BTU output by the rate of the energy required for operation. For example, a unit with an output of 12,000 BTUs, rated at 1,500 watts, would have an EER of eight. The higher the EER, the more cooling is achieved for the e n e r g y u s e d . Commonwealth Edison recommends units with an EER of at least eight People who are at home during the day should turn on their air conditioners before the heat builds up. For people who are away from home during the day, Russell suggests the use of timers to turn on the units about an hour before the occupants return. A t t e r , s u n d o w n , temperatures decrease, and air conditioners may be turned off at bedtime and windows opened to admit the cooler night air. Russell also notes the importance of good maintenance of air conditioning units for more . efficient use. Heating and cooling registers also should be maintained well for good air flow. Russell recommends a thermostat setting of 78 degrees in the home. He adds consumers save about 5 percent in operating costs for every degree the thermostat is raised. Other measures suggested to conserve energy in the home include: drawing shades or curtains on south exposures to reduce heat gain from the sun; w e a t h e r s t r i p p i n g o r caulking and shutting doors and windows to reduce intake of hot air; reducing use of heat-producing such as stoves turning off air conditioners while away; removing furniture and other obstacles from heating and cooling registers; ana closing off rooms which are unused. In addition, energy may be conserved by landscaping around homes, such as planting trees around southern and western exposures to block solar heat. Russell explains there is a difference in summer and winter electricity rates which reflect the higher cost of supplying electricity, particularly during summer peck loads. Russell says the rate for . the four summer months of 8.556 cents per kilowatt hour can begin as early as May 14 or late as June 14 and end as early as Sept. 14 or late as Oct. 14, depending upon when individual meters are read. For the other eight months, the winter rate of 5.330 cents is in effect, but Russell says the charges balance out over a year's time and there should be no increase if kilowatt usage remains the same. For automobiles, energy conservation is much the same in the sunnier as in the winter, according to the Chicago Motor Club, which suggests such measures as good maintenance and keeping vehicles in proper operating condition. However, the motor club advises the most fuel- efficient time to use air conditioning is during open road driving. Although the added weight of an air conditioner may decrease fuel efficiency, tests have shown that, under certain conditions, the drag crested by driving at 55 miles per hour with windows open can consume more fuel than using the air' conditioner with the windows shut. The least efficient time to use an air conditioner is in stop- and-go traffic. The motor club also advises not filling gasoline tanks to the brim. Tanks may overflow if cars are parked on an incline, and, in not weather, fuel expansion can lead to overflow even on level ground. Motorists also should make sure gas caps are designed to fit the car and that the caps are secured tightly. A light exterior car color m o r e to reduce / water, the air combined with light interior upholstery and tinted windows also will reduce heat build-up to keep p a s s e n g e r s comfortable and the work of conditioner. In addition, the motor club offers these other tips to motorists. Look for ways to plan motoring vacations with friends if there is space for more passengers in the auto. Also, pack carefully because unnecessary weight in the trunk can reduce fuel economy and- packing baggage on the roof creates fuel-robbing air resistance. Richard Wissell, director of the McHenry County Health department, offers this advice to help people take care of themselves during the summer. ^ Wissell advises wearing sunglasses and using suntan lotion when going out of doors Sunburns should be treated with ointment or cold cream, and more serious sunburns should be treated medically. People also should seek medical help for heat exhaustion, the symptoms of which are a pale face, cold clammy skin, heavy perspiration and shallow breathing. Clothing should be loosened. In addition, medical treatment should be given for sunstroke, the symptoms erf which are a red, dry face, hot skin, slow noisy breathing and consciousness. draw shade* or curtains over windows; keep the bead uncovered inside, but outside wear a brimmed loss of hat; do not wear socks Victims indoors; confine exercises to should^be placed in theshrie _-oariv mornii* hours, wear with their head raised and loose fitting clothiiw which bathed with alcohol or warm will not interfere with the evaporation of persoiration; and reduce intake of alcohol and caffein which act as mild diuretics and increase loss of body fluids.

Wissell also offers these tips to cope with the heat: drink more liquids such as water, fruit juice or fruit based drinks; take cold baths; ventilate the home as much as possible; prepare meals early in the day it possible to reduce use of the JOIN HOSPITAL STAFF Dr. Sherman Porter and Dr. Joseph S.

These are tapter crystals that develop around the corks of very good quality white wines that once contained a high proportion of fruit and that have been stored a long time. The wine should be poured so that as little of the crystals as possible get into the glass. The German wine law calls for three quality classifications of wine: Table Wine, Quality Wine, and Quality Wine with Special At tributes -- in ascending order of quality. In which grouping would you classify such types as Kabinett, Spatlese, Auslese and Beerenauslese? Quality Wine with Special A ttributes. Champagnes have different degrees of sweetness. How would you describe the various label designations to customers? Brut: contains almost no sugar and is very dry. Extra sec or extra dry: slightly sweet. Sec: meaning "dry" in French, actually iden tified a fairly sweet wine in champagne terminology. Demisec and Voux: both very sweet.
