All women of the community are cordially invited. LONG TRIP FOR A SHORT VISIT Miss Lynne Schultz, her mom, Theresa, and Mrs. Gordon Benson of Woodstock covered nearly 1,000 miles between' Thursday morning and late Saturday in order to visit with Private Len Benson for just a few hours. The three motored to Fort Campbell, Ky., to attend ceremonies marking the end of basic training for Len and about 1,200 of his "classmates". According to the women, the services were moving and thrilling. One young man who recently returned from Viet Nam, serving with a helicopter squadron, was decorated for bravery, by orders of the President of the U.S. The gals mopped tears freely as they saw these men in the service of their country AND OURS! Len took his guests on a short tour of the enormous Army training establishment which was established in 1846. The task of the center is give every recruit a foundation in "basic soldiering," and from here they will go to advanced training sites for specialized instruction.- The tour included a tripx to the chapel where Len plays the organ for services on Sunday and whenever else he is needed. According to Len's aptitude tests, he showed considerable knowledge of medicine and his superiors almost had him convinced until he was informed that he would be required to go to Texas and observe surgical procedures. THAT DID IT! He did accept assignment to the electronics field and will receive advanced training at Fort Gordon, Ga. Private Benson's mother, Violet, Lynne and Theresa saw a young couple wed in the chapel on Saturday, and although this group of graduates was not scheduled for furloughs at this time, the groom's commanding officers ordered emergency leave for him and he departed with his brand new, bride in .a big hurry! Private Robert Fowler of McHenry, class of "66, who grad- » uated with Lynne is a member of Len's company and he was presented with the scholarship award. Although Len shipped out immediately for Fort Gordon, Ga., his parents and the Schultz family are hoping he will be granted a furlough in the near future. GOOD NATUREtfTARGET Being such a genuinely nice guy, Tom Bateman took no offense when his "buddies?" made off with his wheels over the weekend, and secreted same in one of the fellows' garage. The four who perpetrated the prank made him "sweat" for several hours before returning his car to him. What a dirty trick! WEEKEND VISITORS Dr. and Mrs. Donald Nelson and their two young sons, Scott and Kent, paused here briefly over the weekend to visit with parents, Elsie and Clayt Nelson, and with brother and family-- Elma and Earl. Marlene and Don were en route from their home in Battle Creek, Mich., and on the way for a vacation in Florida. The welcome mat was spread for George Bateman by Carol and Tom over the weekend. The two men are brothers. "OPERATIONBUZZING BEE" Len Jensen is calling for volunteers to remove trees on the property next to the beachhouse for Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12, starting at 9 a.m. The tree cutting is necessary now, before the sap starts to run, which prevents proper burning. Sounds like a good outdoor sport for all red blooded he-men! GETTING AROUND IN FRANCE Word received from daughter Chrys last week reveals ,the information that she enjoyed a fabulous trip to Paris the weekend of Feb. 25 and observed the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, L'Qpera, L'Arc de Triomphe, and L'Englise de la Madeleine. She comments on her card of the magnificence of the Madeleine church and thinks it more beautiful than Notre Dame. She is truly taking advantage of her European sojourn which will certainly add to her education. OFFICER CANDIDATE HOSPITALIZED Beverly and Frank Rourke are eagerly awaiting another call from Private John who is undergoing officer's training at Ft. Dix, N.J.

The common cold accounts in total for over 1 billion illnesses and over 34 billion dollars in economic loss each year in the U.S. alone. Medical researchers are experimenting constantly with new weapons against this old and irritating scourge, but a cure is believed to be a good 5 to 10 years distant. A serious drawback to an early breakthrough in the search for an effective cure, is the discovery (since 1951) of some 90 different viruses which may play some part in the common cold. Now if your problem is a search of another kind...that of where to go for fast...efficient filling of your prescriptions.... look no further.

DL Straight answers and full truths about electric heat (for the people who plan to buy or fotLoiDcs] this y@ar) Frank answers about electric heat for those of you who are planning to spend 20 thousand dollars, or more, for a new home that you'll probably live in for the next 10 or 20 years. You owe it to yourself to investigate the many advantages of electric heat. As a background, you should know there are 8 million people in the United States^ now living in electrically heated homes. Estimates indicate that this year 27% of homes being built will have electric heat. And, by 1970, over half of all new homes will be heated electrically. Let's look into the why's and wherefore's. Just how happily can you live with electric heat? Properly installed, the comfort and convenience of electric heat far surpasses anything you've ever experienced before. IdL For example: you can step from your shower in the dead of winter and still feel warm. Baby can play on the floor when it's 20 below outside, and not be chilled. You'll even discover yourself cleaning less because electtfc heat is so dirtfree. Proper installation assures comfort Commonwealth Edison will be pleased to consult with your architect or contractor to assure that your electric heating system is designed for your house and installed in accordance with approved engineering standards. | Insulation should also be installed ac- Heavy black line indicates proper insulation. cording to recommended standards. When an average six-room house is properly insulated at the time of construction, it will add less than 1% to the total cost. Good insulation will not only repay this investment in less than 4 years by cutting heat loss, but will add greatly to your comfort. And in the summer your home will be cooler, too. With electric heat, you can pick the type of heat you want for your new home. There are 5 basic types of flameless electric heating equipment. Depending on your heating requirements, one system can be used separately, or several may be teamed together. If space is at a premium, or you want room-by-room temperature control, electric baseboard units or ceiling cable probably will work best* The electric heat pump either heats or cools, depending on the outside temperature. Electric central heating systems which use electrically-heated warm air or electrically- heated hot water are available in a variety of types to fit any need. They can be combined with electric central airconditioning systems to provide yearround comfort. Electric wall panel heaters provide radiant heat and are best suited for bath and dressing rooms or other areas where space is limited. What about the cost of electric heat? All things considered, electric heat will probably cost you somewhat more than gas heat. For example, you should expect to spend about $200 per year for electric heat in a properly insulated six-room house--or about $60 more than gas heat. This does not take into account maintenance and decorating savings^with electric heat. However, electric heat rates have steadily declined. Since 1958, Commonwealth Edison has reduced electric heat rates more than 50% and still further reductions are expected for the future. Electric Heat is designed to outlast your mortgage (even if it's for 30 years). After 15 years of operation, during which you would have little, if any, maintenance, look what has happened to your friend with gas heat. During this same 15 years, chances are he will have replaced his furnace (at $300)--paid out another $40 to run the pilot light 15 summers, and paid an additional $225 for furnace cleaning, maintenance, and a big supply of filters. Electric heat's great for growing families, too. How many of your friends have outgrown their homes a few short years after they bought them? They plan to add a room or two, and come face-to-face with the old bugaboo--heating the new area. With gas, frequently they must buy a new and bigger furnace or settle for lessthan- satisfactory space heaters. Not so with electric heat. You add as much heating capacity as you need to your new wing almost as simply and inexpensively as adding new wiring. That's the story! Anyone about to spend the money a house costs these days ought to know he's spending his money wisely. We happen to think that your heating dollar will be far better invested in modern electric heat, and we've tried to show you why. If you'd like more information about electric heat, please call our nearest office. Commmwnlth Edison Company oc.e.co.
