Gossamer w^gJloat everywhere. A magic wancfoer the trees is spread, And leaves turn golden, brown and red. Autumn haze is in the sky. dffM* Pumpkins in the fields piled high. Cornstalks rustle in the shocks. Milkweed sheds its silken locks. Autumn flight of birds commences. Bright splashes of bittersweet twine the fences. Along the hedgerows the sumacs burn. And plowmen in fields neat furrows turn. O Lord, may we find in Autumn days, A trail to Thee thro' this earthlv maze. May we quiet our hearts in adoration. In communion with Thee seek restoration. Ethel L. Hintz SHE WAITO It is again a Sunday afternoon and her eyes begirmo winder. "Will someone come today and see me?. "Oh, how I long for my children^ I wish so much, toVk«ee." She walks slowly toward the door of this old nursing home... She feels so lonely, since her husband died.... ancKnow she has to live alone. But one hour after another goes by and nobody is coming to see her. She can hear from afar, small children cry "Oh, how I wish to have someone to care for." The sun is again leaving that summer sky and soon darkness will cover this land another Sunday, just passed by... and no one came, not even an old friend. Again she goes back to join the other people here in this home... They all waited for someone too, but they all were left once again, alone. But with hope in their heart, they know another Sunday will soon come along and again, they will wait... because they learned to be patient and strong. They also remember, that the world outside is full of haste and pressure that the Young can forget... the Old, and their quiet life... and forget to share, some moments, together. Time is still on the side of the old people as long as they have a place to live... So we say: "There is always tomorrow"... until the bell calls us, from the church's steeple then we know it is too late, and now we must ask "Please forgive".....

Since filters are usually out of sight, they're usually out of mind. That is, until you notice something wrong with your heating or air conditioning. Then you may find a dirty filter behind it. Dust or lint on filters reduces your system's ability to move heated or cooled air. It's a good idea to check your filters every 30-60 days. To remind yourself, you may want to do it the same day you pay your fuel bill. If the filter is dirty, clean or replace it. Clean filters also help keep your home cleaner. This principle applies essentially to all heating fuels--electricity, gas or oil. Don't forget the filter on your clothes dryer either. Clean it after evCry load to keep your dryer in top operating condition. Maintaining clean filters is only one area where we have information that can help you conserve energy.
