HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION Eastwood Manor residents - How many of you would be interested in starting a Homeowners . .^sociation? Send me your nameA address and phone number, or give me a call, and I'll start a list. After seeing how many people in the subdivision are interested, I will take it from there. How's that sound?! EASTWOOD MANOR * - WATER COMPANY I have talked with many of . 'my neighbors in the immediate area and the question and problem was all the same, that being the water pressure. It seems when you are using water in anyone place and then proceed to use it in another at the same time there was no pressure. For example washing clothes and doing dishes at the same time. In regard to this problem I called a gentleman from Eastwood Manor Water Company, here is what he had to say. His men were at present on July 9, Tuesday, pulling the pump on the new well, he said that was the problem and that it was under repair and should be taken care of shortly. In case anyone has any further questions in the future you might like to jot the Eastwood Manor Water Company's telephone number down for your own use - 385-8751.

The bills shown are for the same piece of property, Lot Section 8, Block 14, on the west side of the Fox river. In 1898 Mrs. C.W. Slafter paid $3.29 in taxes to M.J. Freund, the CJit- ̂ - cJ'JiUswi-d Collector. collector. The following year Mabel A. Newman was charged $4.49. Only the state tax showed a decrease. The county, town, road and bridge, and school categories all showed a higher figure the second year. SAFETY FIRST I would like to stress the importance of driving slowly through the subdivision at all times. On my street along which is Fairview there are approximately thirty to forty children, not to mention people on bicycles, etc., etc. Many is the time when I have heard or seen a car going twice as fast as they should have been going. ( Don't be sorry for the rest of your life, be careful today and everyday, you don't always get a second chance. Parents if you have teenage drivers please relay this important message to them from me and I know many many other people in the area. (AND TO THEIR FRIENDS THAT VISIT THEM) Thank you! I hope everybody had a nice fourth of July. GOOD SAMARITAN The end of last week Mr. and Mrs. Farrington and daughters were out on their new boat for just the second time when they ran out of gas. They were just past town on the Fox River when they discovered they were out of gas much to their dismay. They flagged the coast guard and honked their horn at him when they were just 15 feet away, but he did not reply. Flagged other people, but they Observe National Farm Safety Week July 25-31 President Richard M. Nixon has proclaimed that July 25-31, 1974, shall be dedicated to the observance of National Farm Safety week. This marks the thirty-first consecutive year in which this annual national safety activity co-sponsored by the National Safety council (NSC) and the U.S. also just went right by. Then finally a man from the bank swam out, and pulled the boat by the tow rope and gave the Farringtons gas and didn't even charge them for it. They have no idea of his name, but his house is located on River Road. He is the type of man that really deserves the tiUe of Good Samaritan. and air conditioners It can mean the difference between wasting energy and cutting your cooling costs oy 25%. You may not realize this, but some air conditioners use a lot more electricity than others to cool the same amouqt of space. And in the summer, when the heat gets unbearable and millions of people turn on their air conditioners to find relief, this can amount to a significant waste of electricity. On a normal summer day, as the graph above shows, Commonwealth Edison may have to deliver three to four million kilowatts more than on an average winter day To meet this summer demand, extra amounts of fuel must be burned. By making sure you buy the kind of air conditioner that gives the same cooling with less electricity you can save money and save us all critically needed fuel. The thing to check is known as the EER, an engineers term which stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio. And there's information on every air conditioner that lets you figure it out. JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG S1PT OCT NOV DEC •SIMPLIFIED GRAPH OF SEASONAL DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY You don't have to be an engineer to find the EER. All the information you need to buy an efficient air conditioner can be found on the metal plate attached to the unit. 'MODfcLNUMBER ACREOB74P VOLTS CYCLE PHASE 115 60 1 COOL IM C BTU/HR 6000 Our recommended energy efficiency ratio for an air condi­ tioner is 7 or more, so the one with an EER of 7 is the one you should buy. Low efficiency units have EERs of around 5 or 6. You save money, too. You've already found that the second example is the more efficient air conditioner. It will robably cost a little more to buy, ut because it's more efficient, it would cost less to operate. In the long run, an efficient air conditioner helps keep electricity rates as low as possible. And right now, an efficient air conditioner helps conserve our country's natural resources.

RTE. 120 McHENRY,ILL. 815-385-1720 Pepartment of Agriculture (USDA) has been observed. Farm Safety week was initiated during World War II to attack accident losses that were impairing crucial agricultural production. Thus, the two-fold purpose of Farm Safety week is to call attention to major accident problems that drain human and economic resources in agricultural production, and to suggest preventive measures which can be applied to reduce these losses. Accidents claimed the lives of about 6,000 farm and ranch residents last year. Approximately half of these were victims of motor-vehicle mishaps. Another one-fourth were accounted for in accidental agricultural work deaths. About 500,000 farm residents suffered disabling injuries last year. The cost of these accidents, including farm fires, totaled $2.75 billion in 1973 - losses that farm and ranch people can ill- afford. About one-fourth of all work- related injuries reported in a recent NSC ten-state farm accident survey were attributed to falls. Work falls often occur in the use of farm equipment - especially tractors, wagons, and combines. But not all falls are work-related. Many additional falls occur right around the house and yard - on ladders, down stairs, on slippery surfaces, and over hidden obstacles. Consequently, NSC and USDA are emphasizing prevention of farm falls in this year's observance to help reduce farm deaths and injuries. And agricultural communicators, farm and rural youth organizations, rural safety leaders, agri­ business, extension, and other community leaders are being asked to cooperate in this year's effort to reduce farm falls. The National Safety council, based in Chicago, is a nongovernmental, nonprofit, public service organization dedicated to safety education and the development and implementation of accident prevention programs reaching every segment of American life. Eighty-Six Use Attorney Service In Area Eighty-six McHenry county residents took advantage of a public service offered state citizens by the Illinois State Bar association and were referred to county attorneys during the first six months of this year. "Most of the referrals were made to persons who had never before consulted a lawyer", according to Thomas S. Johnson, chairman of the ISBA Lawyer Referral Service committee. He added: e BTUs WATTS To get the EER, simply divide the BTUs by the watts.

"The ISBA operates a statewide referral service through a toll free WATS telephone line (800-252-8908), where a person may receive a referral to a lawyer who will give up to one-half hour interview for a nominal charge. "After the initial interview, if further legal services are required, the cost is a matter between the lawyer and client." Johnson concluded, "There is, of course, no requirement for the client to continue with the lawyer after the first visit."
