CONDOLENCES On behalf of the two com­ munities I would like to, by way of this column offer an ex­ pression of sympathy to the following families who have suffered the loss of a loved one this past week. Early Monday morning Herman Trapp passed away following a five week stay in McHenry hosptial. He leaves his wife, Mildred, and one daughter, Mrs. Robert (Delores) Brennan, and two grandchildren, of Crystal Lake, and a sister, Mrs. Geroge (Violet) Thompson of Chicago. Herman and Mildred moved * to Lilymoor less than a year ago from Rose lie, 111. He was employed by Meyer Materials Co of Des Plaines Services were held at the Querhammer funeral home in Crystal Lake and he was laid to rest in Memorial Gardens in Arlington Heights Wednesday, May 11. v Friends and neighbors were shocked by the untimely death of Francis (Frank) Coughlin Wednesday evening. May 18. Frank was laid to rest Saturday in St. Patrick's Countryside cemetery. I am sure all of the deceased will be greatly missed by family and friends alike. BIRTHDAYS A very happy birthday to Shawnda Dawdy and Patrick Heald. May 20; to Larry Withrow, May 21; and to Marge Evans and Guy Garn May 24. I hope your birthday wishes come true. FIRST PARTY May i0 is the actual bir- thdate of one year old Jason Leske. but his first birthday was celebrated May 10 (Mother's day). There were about eleven or twelve friends and relatives present for the festivities. Beside mom and dad (Phyllis and Gary) there were Grandma and Grandpa (Marion and Don) Leske. Great grandmother Erisman, Aunt Anna Mary, cousins Pam and Jack Anselm, and also friends, Jimmy and Liane Johnson, and Lea and Steve Soefker came. Jason received many nice gifts. RECUPERATING Ten-year-old Anthony Gurske is and has been walking around with a cast on his arm since April 11. After the first cast was on a short time, he fell down and he had to have a second cast put on his arm and now he has a half cast, which he will have to wear for a short time. I bet you will be glad when you i peop 1 JTh , An a . ̂ Nortl The six counties of nor­ theastern Illinois use about 58 percent of the energy con­ sumed in the state, but residents of the region use less energy per capita in their homes, stores and offices than people elsewhere in Illinois, ose are among the findings a new report from the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC). NIPC also released proposed energy policies for the region recently and asked for comments on the new policies from public of­ ficials and citizens. The report on energy use was prepared for NIPC by the Energy Resources center of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. Per capita energy use in the "residential-commercial sec­ tor"' is relatively low in the region because of the dense development patterns in Chicago, researchers found. The average Chicagoan ac­ counts for 15 to 20 percent less electricity consumption in the residential-commercial sector than the average resident in Illinois. Total energy demand in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties, the area covered by the study, has averaged 2,180 trillion British thermal units (Btu) per year during the 1970s. That amount is equivalent to the energy won't have that doggone cast anymore, won't you, Anthony?

On the average, one-third of the energy consumed in the region is used in the residential- commercial sector. The in­ dustrial sector accounts for 27 percent of the region's energy consumption ' and tran­ s p o r t a t i o n , i n c l u d i n g automobiles, accounts for 21 percent of the energy con­ sumed. Researchers estimated that 19 percent of the energy produced in the region is not transmitted to any consuming sector but is used in the generation of electrical power. On the consumption side, waste is highest in the residential-commercial sector, the Circle Campus researchers reported, although they cautioned that energy experts disagree on precisely how energy efficiency should be evaluated. Petroleum is the chief source of energy in the region. Thirty- seven percent of the total energy consumed comes from oil. Natural gas provides 34 percent of the region's energy, coal provides 21.5 percent and 7.5 percent is generated by nuclear fission. Residents of northeastern Illinois get a greater share of their energy from nuclear power than residents elsewhere in the state. The average Illinois resident gets less than 6 percent of his energy from nuclear sources. Patterns of energy use were found to be generally similar from county to county in nor­ theastern Illinois, although researchers reported that a greater share of energy was used in transportation in the five suburban counties than in Cook county or in the city of Chicago. Partly because of the lower energy demands for tran­ sportation in Cook county, a greater share of the county's energy is used to heat homes, stores, offices and schools than in the outlying counteis. The six counties also were found to be similar in terms of energy sources. Each county gets from 35 to 40 percent of its energy from petroleum, from 32 to 36 percent of its energy from natural gas, from 20 to 22 percent from coal and between 7.5 and 8 percent from nuclear power. Need Used Eyeglasses >'ew; Instant * „ eves FORV_ "HE NEEDY. I . fi§| V * % * y Two representatives from "New Eyes For The Needy" empty trashcan full of glasses donated from persons throughout the country. Unused eyeglasses can be put to a valuable use by donating them to this organization. There may be a pair of dusty', unused eyeglasses in the home that can mean the difference between sight or impaired vision for millions of poverty- stricken people in this country or overseas. New Eyes for the Needy, a non-profit, non-sectarian agency based in Short Hills, N.J., converts used eyeglasses into thousands of dollars lor new prescription glasses -even artificial eyes, if necessary -- for impoverished, poor-of-sight children and adults in this country, or ships those eyeglasses which are reusable to the needy overseas. The porcess is simple - simple, at least for the donor. All it requires is mailing the eyeglasses by prepaid parcel post, wrapped with proper protection, to New Eyes for the Needy, Short Hills, N.J. 07078. For those who do not have discarded glasses to donate, they can still help by sending precious metal scrap such as old watches, real, costume or ; antique jewelry - even one * cufflink, a single earring or a » broken chain, dentures with gold bits, or silverware. A corps of more than 250 * volunteers test and sort the • eyeglasses at the organization's headquarters. Metal framed glasses and metal scrap are sold to a refinery. The redeemed cash is used to purchase new prescription glasses and ar­ tificial eyes for the needy in the United States. With this cash. New Eyes for the Needy has established funds for new glasses and artificial eyes in ninety-three hospitals in thirty-four states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Quotas of new glasses are guaranteed to 250 agencies in thirty-three states and the District of Columbia. Also, New Eyes pays for glasses in forty-eight states for screened patients to whom no other private or public funds are available. Throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America, New Eyes for the Needy ships reusable plastic-framed eyeglasses to medical missions and relief agencies for distribution, free of charge, to their needy patients. In the forty- five years since New Eyes for the Needy was established, over a million visually impaired persons have been assisted by New Eyes -- all made possible because others! were concerned enough to send their discarded eyeglasses or unwanted jewelry. Yet, the requests for sight assistance still exceed what New Eyes can fulfill. H||p narrow that gap by sending a donation of eyeglasses, jewelry or silverware to: New Eyes for the Needy, Inc.
