Rt. 31 between Ciystal Lake and McHenry CALL 815-459-0660 What's electric heat got that the others havent? There is no heat that is anywhere near as clean as electric heat. Because other heats use a flame. And a flame needs air. Some of that air comes from the outside, bringing dirt in around doors and windows. Dirt that wouldn't be there with flameless electric heat. And because you're not drawing in that dry outside air, you maintain a better humidity level. So you're more comfortable. Electric heat gives you a wide selection of heating systems. Heating cables can be installed right in ceiling and floors. You don't even know they're there. But you'll be living cleaner and quieter. And because the heat comes from the ceiling, you can put your furniture anywhere you want it. And there's individual room control. The same thing is true for baseboard heat. It's installed where you need it most. Like under windows and along outside walls where your room is coldest. Again you get individual room control. And then there's an electric furnace. A furnace that has no flame, so you get a cleaner, more even heat. And if you prefer hot water heat, you can even have a flameless electric boiler. Think about what you're heating with now: the dirt, noise, and maintenance. Is it all worth it? To find out which electric heat is best, where you live or plan to live, contact your nearest Commonwealth Edison Office and ask for an Electric Heating Consultant, ©c. E. Co.

One of the newest decorat­ ing "ins"- is the gallery wall. Blank walls are being con­ verted into veritable galleries with collections of objets d art that can range from framed paintings to decorative mir­ rors, clocks and sconces. Galleries are not limited to living room walls. The trend is also popular for hallways, bedrooms, reception areas, dining room; even bathrooms and stairways. Some sugges­ tions are: Combine different shapes for more pleasing effect. Strive for variety by mixing large paintings and prints with a number of smaller ac­ cessories. Mix pictures and plaques. Select from different sources and styles for a pleasing eclec­ tic look. However, if you are displaying fewer than five pieces, such as on a small wall area in a hallway, it is better to keep them within the same general mood. Don't forget clocks and mir­ rors which can be very attrac­ tive to the complete gallery wall. Work out your display ar­ rangement on the floor before hanging. Finally, keep your gallery wall alive by adding to it, or changing from time to time. Museum postcards are a good source for small prints, and don't overlook the possi-' bilities of UNICEF calendars: each contains a selection of 12 prints representing some of the world's outstanding artists. IN SMALL ROOM In a small room with few windows, smooth surfaces -- polished cottons, patent vinyls, metals, highly polished woods, mirrors and glass -- will make the room appear larger and lighter through reflection. INSULATION ECONOMICAL Nobody sees the insulation in your house, but its presence is a daily blessing that means substan­ tial savings in heating and cooling costs, says the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute Proper insulation in walls and roof of the home means that less equipment is required to keep you cool in hot weather and keep you warm in winter, and that your sys­ tem costs far less to operate ARI cites a University of Illinois re­ search house study that offers in­ controvertible evidence of the effectiveness of insulation: A two-bedroom house without in­ sulation had a heat load of 861,000 British thermal units during 24 hours of 95-degree temperature The addition of four inches of ceil­ ing insulation reduced the heat load by nearly half--to 432,000 Btu during similar conditions When three inches of insulation was add­ ed to walls, the load was reduced to 364,000 Btu. This demonstrates that the house when insulated required less than half as much cooling capacity to keep the occupants comfortable The same is true during the heating season Heat Savings One expert, T. W. McLorg, for­ mer executive vice president of the Canadian Refrigeration & Air Con­ ditioning Association^-indicates that the investment in a series of domes over Toronto, costing about $500 million, would be justified by the savings in heating bills alone ARI doubts that whole-city air conditioning will be undertaken soon, but suggests the possibility in the foreseeable future of enclosing and cooling entire urban communi­ ties such as downtown commercial centers Page 22
