No matter what kind of energy you use to heat your house, the most effective defense against rising energy costs is proper insula­ tion. The majority of single-family homes need additional insulation. Generally, insulation in the attic floor will help the most Upgrading your insulation will not only save substantially dti your heating bill, but will also reduce your summer-cooling energy use. How much! insulation do you need? Insulation is measured in R-numbers not inches. "R"-stands for resistance to winter he^J: loss or summer heat gain and is more accurate in figuring insulation performance. The higher the R-number, the more effective the insulation barrier. For instance, installing R-19 in an uninsulated attic can cut heat loss through your ceiling by more than 75%. In addition to insulation, anything else you can do to seal the outside out and the inside in will pay off in added comfort and lower energy costs. Adding storm windows \ . and doors, installing weather stripping, caulking around windows, insulating walls, floors and heating ducts --all will help conserve energy, increase comfort and save money. You'll get dividends from your investment. Investing in energy conservation home improvements like insulation gives you an immediate payoff in the form of lower energy bills. Over the life of the house, these improvements will pay for themselves and continue to eliminate energy waste. And you'll have added substantially to the resale value of your home. Energy conservation, besides being good for the country, is good for you too. You pay for the energy you use... you pay for what you waste. So make sure you use it wisely.

Some of the students in McHenry County college s Police Science program are taking courses to help them in their jobs as police officers for local communities and the county sheriff's police. But a good portion of the students in the program aren't working as police officers yet-either because the£ aren't old enough to meet the twenty-one year age requirement for police imposed by state statutes, or because they haven't yet passed exams to join local police forces. The mixture of officers and civilians in the program results in some good class discussions and also contributes to making the program relevant to working as a police officer in today's society, according to John P Adrangna, director of the police science program at MCC. Students who enroll in the police science courses without having worked as police often have a distorted view of police work "They're influenced by television shows, and don't realize all police work isn't chasing suspects down dark alleys," Adragna says. "But the • interaction with working "police puts the job into a better perspective." Police officers working in the county spend a good portion of each shift on what Adragna calls "service" work-things like settling disputes between neighbors, helping find lost bicycles and handling minor traffic accidents. The MCC program requires some psychology work for,* police science students and a special "problems in police service" course gives students a chance to discuss the role conflict officers face between being crime fighters and public servants. "Police work is changing, getting more sophisticated and more complex. Police departments need educated people to cope with the stress in police work," Adragna says about the program. Director of the Police Science program at MCC since last fall,1 Adragna came to the college after twenty-four years as a police officer for the city of St. Louis. An instructor at that city's police academy for eleven years, his work as a policeman covered many different assignments, in­ cluding working in the internal affairs division which in­ vestigates complaints against individual police officers. At MCC, Adragna said he hopes to emphasize behavioral studies and courses which address themselves to how to understand people. Students enrolled in the MCC program include officers already working for police departments in Crystal Lake. Cary, Car- pentersville, Woodstock, Huntley, Elgin, McHenry, Algonquin and the county sheriff. More than 100 students at MCC are majoring in police science with an increasing number of women students going into police work. Adragna said the demand for trained women police officers is very high. Regular class work in the program includes studying criminal law, juvenile crime, drug abuse, vice and organized crime, police management, security work and traffic laws. The college also offers a chance to earn credit while working as an intern at a local police department. According to Adragna, interns have been assigned to work with police in Lake in the Hills, Algonquin and Elgin. Police Science courses at the college are open to students who just want to try out a course or two as well as those who have chosen police or security work as their major. The college offers both a full two-year course for an associate in applied science degree in police sciences and an abbreviated program for a certificate of completion.

The syndicate proposes to put through at once a 100-foot private driveway from the cement road to the club. With the control of this property the club is now the biggest golf club in the country in point of acreage. It is proposed to have five cham­ pionship eighteen-hole courses, two putting courses, and one miniature putting course on the property. The 505 acres mentioned is known as the Henry Stilling farm and is a part of a tract of 640 acres recently sold by Ben Stilling & Son, local realtors, the other 135 acres being the Peter F. Miller farm near Lily Lake. If the building and improving of property and homes is a sign of spring, then there can be no doubt but that spring has arrived in McHenry. The carpenters and contractors are all busy and construction work has commenced with new activity. R.C.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 3, 1952) By May 1, McHenry county taxpayers can be expecting their tax bills representing the largest amount in the county's history, according to an an­ nouncement by Treasurer J.G. Stevens. Work on extension of taxes in the office of Clerk Raymond D. Woods was completed recently and the books turned over to the treasurer. The tax rate for the county of McHenry will be decreased 3.1 cents per $100 valuation in 1952. This is an outstanding record, particularly in the times of rising taxes throughout the country. According to the best information available to A.B. McConnell, chairman of the County board, McHenry county is the only one in the state of McHenry county Sheriff's deputy Mike Keane, left, was a guest lecturer at a Police Science class in Traffic Law Enforcement at McHenry County college recently.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 6, 1967) Months of work in acquainting residents of McHenry county with the importance of a junior college were rewarded when voters approved the creation of a college district in last Satur­ day's election. A total of 9,394 votes were cast. A total of 5,780 voters expressed themselves in favor of the issue, and 3,614 were opposed. The City Council will meet for further study of expansion of sanitary sewer facilities. The operation of a site for a new plant in the future is uppermost in planning. Of equal im­ portance is the method of financing construction of a new plant. Formation of a sanitary district to cover a wide area has been proposed. This idea seems certain to be given serious study. The National Catholic Society of Foresters' thirteenth Diocesan conference was held April 2, in McHenry. His Ex­ cellency, the Most Rev.

Edward Buss acted as moderator for the meeting and Town Clerk Walter Anderson read financial reports, which were approved. The town levy was in the amount of $40,000 compared to $48,000 last year. Expected expenditures are $52,258, but a surplus of $22,798 made it possible to cut the levy. shelter, and 100,000 workers have no jobs. Most center members still shine shoes, but each boy puts his earnings in the center's bank, receiving 12 percent -- interest. They get three hot meals daily, and attend school t and recreation programs. Older boys study mechanics and carpentry, and twenty boys have joined a cooperative housing project begun by Father Halligan. Each will build his own home, paying monthly installments of $7.20 for twelve years. This is Quito's first cooperative housing program. To finance the center and the paid staff of twenty-eight Ecuadorians, Father Halligan raises $12,000 a month from Ecuadorians and Americans interested in his work. Says the missioner, "We have to give these kids some sort of economic base to make life's basic decisions ". He has dedicated his life to doing just that. It's not enough, the Apostle James said, to merely say to the poor "Go, be warmed and be.fed " Our God expects each of us to work and pray toward that goal.

Living hand-to- mouth, sleeping in doorways, few such boys go to school. Few have any hope. But for thirteen years, the Bronx Jesuit priest has offered a way out of their grinding poverty through the Centro Muchacho Trabajador (Working Boys center) of Quito. The center now has 320 members - boys from 6 to 25. Its four-story building has machine shops, classrooms, cafeteria and dormitory for twenty- seven homeless members. "We are trying to start a revolution," says Father Halligan, "against the miserable attitude the poor generally have of their own worth, society and the future." He points out that few Ecuadorians earn even the minimum needed for food and
