PAGE JQ - PLA1NDEALER-WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 1976 District 15 Perspectives Pastor Looks Back On New Start In Florida gDTJC£S22-- A recetu survey conducted by the Gajnip survey found "parent interest" as one of the most important reasons why some fijlidren do better in school tjKn others. This isone finding of a Gallup survey tffct relates home en­ vironment of students and succMfrin school. The survey of l.OffiSnothers found that 79 per wt of the high achieving firs iygraders were read to farly in their early years, compared to 49 percent of the lovn achievers. The survey also dis :overed other factors coif n?on to better students: the bility of books in the home, stress on going to ess time in front of the VflBon, the practice of plaMvjf family games that re< urre mental exertion, a favorable student and parental attitude toward school, good behavior at school, and parental interest in the child's daily School work. A if»Ore informal national survey'teachers revealed the following ways in which paretics'can best help direct and encourage their children, particulaly in developing an interest and continuing pleasure in reading. 1. Give children a chance to talk, express their ideas and describe their experiences. (All of the experts agree that teachers and parents alike talk too much and listen too little.) 2. Learning to listen is most important. A child's ability to learn is improved by his feeling that his ideas are valued. Listen attentively and without criticism. 3. Develop a pleasant association with reading by letting children see the adults around them enjoying it. Warning: Don't tell a child, "I'm reading now; don't bother me." His association with reading will then be a negative one, base on his parent's rejection. 4. Let the child be the judge of his own reading material. Let him read anything newspapers, comics, or one book after another about cowboys, sports or racing cars - even if the reading level is PEACE PEACE FOR OUR COUNTRY PEACE of mind when we have money set-up "on call" for our operating needs.

Parents of kindergarten children can help greatly by reading and telling stories instead of relegating that "task" to television. Children should be encouraged to tell stories about picures they see in a magazine or books as well as stories they make up themselves. 6. Until third grade, take time to read to your children frequently and regularly. Don't neglect poetry which expresses the rich variety and creative uses of language. 7. Encourage but don't pressure your child to read for pleasure. Don't insist that he take out library books but in­ vite him to browse with you when you visit the library. 8. Provide a variety of ex­ periences that will enrich your child's life and develop curiosity about the world around him - visits to parks, beaches, zoos, sports events, hikes, camping trips, concerts, art galleries, farms, factories, science fairs, historical sites, government and industrial centers. Then let him discuss his observations and reactions. 9. Don't try to teach your pre­ school child to read, but provide the experiences that will help him to read. 10. In building a child's library, it is better to buy a paper back of a good book, than a hard cover of a poor one. 11. With older children who may be having reading problems, don't set a specified time and force them to read. They'll only learn to hate reading. 12. In reading to younger children, select books that you enjoy, too, so that you can express genuine enthusiasm. FORMAL WEAR RENTALS for ALL OCCASIONS feeld £ Staval ....tk fomljyim 1214 N. Green St., McHenry (by Father ^ William O. Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth. Father Hanner, who has contributed to the Plaindealer columns for sometime, moved to Florida recently with his wife, Rose). We are in our third month as Floridians. But we lived here in the war years and after, so that we are entering our ninety-first month in resident status. It is just about the same as always save that there are more people, cars and buildings. About the summer heat--of course it is warm here but you are better prepared for it than up North. Floridians complain of the summer heat in the central part of the country and rejoice to return to the comfort of their peninsula. It gets up to 90 degrees F. every day. You however, during the heat, are in air conditioned quarters. We have not turned off our air conditioner since we came. All stores, shops and libraries-all churches and restaurants -are air conditioned. "It is hard on the eyes, that sun! complains the northerner. "So what!" exclaims the Floridian, "wear your dark glasses." It is cool in the morning-I wear a light jacket as I go for breakfast; it is cool after the sun goes down-get active then. One of the sights of Florida is the great soft wooly clouds that heap up in the sky in huge stac­ ks, tufted piles. Whe the sun is on them in the late afternoon there are pinks and oranges that hold your eye to the beauty of the sea of heavens arch. As it .erows darker (darkness falls very rapidly in the tropics and dawn splurges quickly too) palms and cedars silhoutte their profiles against these same clouds.

It is 400 miles from Jacksonville to Pensacola; it is 350 miles from there to Miami and 160 more to Key West. That means, if you were to drive from Pensacola to Key West it would be 900 miles. Pensacola is different from Jacksonville-which in turn is different from Miami, which is not like Key West and St. Petersburg on the west side of the state on Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico is still dif­ ferent. The weather may alter in all four areas of the state, things that will grow in one area that do not do well in another and so it goes. For instance, the cocoanut palm does well in Miami and along the keys but you do not find it in the are of Tampa Bay or in the northern tier of counties save when they are specially brought in and planted. In Illinois we feared cyclones or tornados, they are rare here but we do have hurricanes. The good thing is you are well forewarned of a hurricane and can prepare yourself for it or run away if that suits you but it is hard to flee a tornado. Each section of our great land has its special beauties and each some element of danger from its weather or quaking earth. Then too, this is the rainy season. Several times we have been subject to drenching rains in the late afteroon or evening. These rains are seldom ac­ companied by much wind. It just rains and gets cool and pleasant afterward. Inside two hours, all is dried again and the skies are clear and bright. On Labor day we went over the big bridge to Anna Marie. As we returned, crossing the bridge, the heavens opened up and the rains came. Heavy floods of falling water-grey, that dropped a curtain of drenching daj-k dismay. You drove through the floods on the road. The water parted before your wheels like the bow wave cleft by the prow of a destroyer at sea. Yet when we got home after the bridge, the water fell no more-indeed at our house- two miles away its as dry as dust-not even a drop. This morning we are having a good soaking. That is why I write. I cannot go up to the pool.

OUTDOOR TOPICS by Bob Brewter OUTDOOR CONSULTANT CAMERA TIPS FROM EXPERTS Fall is an ideal time to plan a photo outing, and some of the prettiest picture settings occur around the lakes and streams which have been popular boat­ ing sites all summer. It isn't difficult to capture on film the beauty of Fall, but it does take a little effort to get the really great pictures most of us desire. The professional pho­ tographers in Mercury out- boards' outdoor recreation de­ partment suggest you keep in mind two basic techniques com­ monly used to get the kind of pictures that appear in calen­ dars and magazines. Almost all outdoor color can be improved by providing a dark blue sky as background. Often this isn't possible unless a polarizing filter is used. Polar­ izing intensifies the blues ap­ pearing in trees and the sky, and this helps the other colors in your photograph to stand out against the dark horizon. Check with your local cam­ era store for more information about polarizing filters. They're simple to use and are worth learning about. Scenic photos are usually enhanced by the addition ot action. This can be as little as someone standing in the fore­ ground and looking toward the horizon, or it can be more elab­ orate with several people roast­ ing hot dogs over a fire, or a similar picnic scene. It's not difficult to set up such a picture with your family, and the resulting photos will make the extra effort worth­ while. Be sure to choose a site where colorful trees and bushes form a backdrop to the action scene in the foreground. This Fall, plan to spend a day on the water with your boat and camera. It's a great way to get some family photographs that will be enjoyed for many years. Come to our Housewarming thru the 25th, and we'll give you a gift... Located at the McHenry Market Place, 4400 IV.

Galigan More and more home owners are becoming aware of the protection provided by "fire detectors" for the home, but few home owners are really aware of the differences in the types of detectors available. With the increase in con­ sumer demand, more of these devices are now readily available at retail outlets, but they all do not provide the same life-saving protection, the Insurance Information In­ stitute says. There are at least four types of fire-smoke detectors currently being marketed commercially; ionization, photo-electric, flame and thermal. • The ionization detector offers the earliest warning and perhaps the best protection. Basically, the device senses gases in the air, therefore providing a fire warning on the gases given off from a fire often long before smoke builds up and cerjainly way before the flames become intense enough to set off a thermal detector. The photo-electric detector, often called a smoke detector, is activated by smoke..even minute quantities that may be invisible to the naked eye- breaking a beam of light. This type of dectector is considered by fire departments and by several studies to be equal in quality to the ionization type. Less desirable detectors are the flame-heat and thermal types. The area in which these detectors are located must be fairly well involved in flames before they will sountHa war­ ning. These devices are recommended for use as a secondary part of a protection system and should be installed in garages, furnace rooms and kitchens. For primary protection, and as a basic beginning to a home fire protection system, the Institute recommends that all homes have at least one ionization or photo-electric device located on the celing immediately outside of bedrooms. If the home owner desires greater protection, then the basic system can be augmented by flame-heat and- or thermal operated devices located in the kitchen, garage and furnace rooms. The next step up in improved home fire protection, according to fire departments, would be for the home owner to have all of the various detecting devices wired together so that if one is set off all of the devices in the system will sound a warning. The sensitivity of the ionization and photo-electric devices makes them un­ desirable for use in kitchen, garage or furnace room. But it is exactly this sensitivity that makes them most desirable for use near bedrooms where the earliest possible warning of a fire is necessary. Each of the four basic types of detectors is available from several different manufac­ turers and usually with one of three choices of power supply: battery, alternating current and a combination system. Most battery-operated detectors meet National Fire Protection Assocfation (NFPA) requirements by incorporating a minimum seven-day warning system that will indicate low battery voltage. These detectors will warn the home owner when the batteries are ready for replacement however, it is possible to miss this warning and become un­ protected when the batteries finally fail. An additional disadvantage of this type of power source is that some of the types of batteries used are difficult to find and others may be expensive to replace. Bat­ tery-operated detectors, generally, are more expensive for the retail customer, but as long as the batteries are maintained in good order these detectors provide excellent fire protection Alternating current or plug- in types of power sources for home fire detectors are probably the type most generally available and least expensive for the public to purchase. These devices will be ineffective during power outages, however; and, in areas susceptible to severe storms and frequent power failures, they may be less than desirable. A popular misconception about plug-in type fire detec­ tors is that they are likely to be rendered useless in the event of an electrical system fire. However, extensive testing by the NFPA and others indicates that it is unlikely that all cir­ cuits in a home electrical fire will be destroyed before a fire, detector with this type of power supply sounds the warning, particularly if more than one detector is in use. There is at least one manufacturer now marketing a detector that uses both bat­ teries and alternating current for a power source. This type is perhaps the most expensive, but it does seem to blend the best attributes of both detector power source sytems. Some insurance companies now provide discounts on homeowner's insurance policies for the installation and maintenance of home fire detectors, and many com­ panies are considering discounts. The Institute cautions that the home owner should pur chase only detectors that have been approved, or listed, by Underwriters' Laboratories and-or Factory Mutual The devices frequently can be in stalled by the home owner, but the manufacturer's in­ structions should be closely followed Finally, building code requirements on the in stallation of fire detectors vary greatly from area to area It would be best to check with your building department about code restrictions of these devices prior to purchase.
