/ I PAGE M - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1*77 The Village of Holiday Hills CHER IHOGLUND ROSEMARY HOLTZ 385-3944 344-0615 Call Of The West For The Connell Family After spending - three .delightful days with son Gary, ~at an open house given in his honor at Camp Ft. Riley, the Councils, Jack, Marge, Chris, Randy and Maureen were greeted by the splendor of the Rockies and Pike's Peak, poking its snow-capped crown through lazy moving clouds on 'their recent journey westward. Yellowstone Park was next, as its geysers, hot springs and then the Grand Tetons beckoned the family of cam­ pers who enjoyed nothing more than a site under the plear starry heavens. The wide-opened spaces were travel-mates as the Connells were joined by daughters, Cathy and Eileen, as they all roamed the Black Hills, famous for Mt. Rush more. It was an enjoyable vacation, one to be remembered for many years to crane. Another vacation-bound family, the Hoglunds, Ray, Cheri, Cathy, Ray, Jill and Kris Anderic took the opportunity to be with family and friends who share the same belief at the week-long Rockford Bible school. The mornings were dedicated to the learning of God's word for both young and old, the afternoons for strengthening the physical bodies with a variety of sports and activities, and the evenings filled with exhortations of service to God and their fellow man. The week ended much too quickly and the family is looking forward to next year. While the rest of the Hoglund family returned to the routine of everyday life, Cheri had the pleasure (?) of an extended vacation as the chance to fulfill one of her wildest dreams (staying in bed all day with every whim catered to by a staff of professionals and watching the Cubs play ball--) presented itself, Luxury ac­ commodations were graciously arranged at McHenry hospital by her family doctor and after four fun-filled days with a little surgery thrown in for good measure, Cheri returned home with a sore foot and food memories of the grand view of the surrounding countryside and Boone Creek. Cheri commented that one chance to fulfill a dream is enough, thank you. BIRTHDAY BOY Eric Rassmusen was the star of the day as his family and friends gathered together to celebrate the happy occasion of his second birthday. Proud parents Pam and "Rass" led the birthday song as the party \A< IC .« K'\ im a vJ Automotive Sale. waited for Eric to blow out all the candles on his whipped cream cake. The guests were also treated to ice cream, old- fashioned lemonade, iced tea and other party favors. After the gifts were opened the group enjoyed playing games and best of all the pleasure of each other's good company. Well wishers included great grandfather Arthur Dallia, Sr., of Mt. Prospect and Great aunt Nancy Dallia of Palatine as well as grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Dallia, Jr., from Wauconda and godmother Vicki Dallia from Milwaukee, along with a host of aunts, uncles and friends including Marlene and Punkie Frantz of Holiday Hills. A big day in the life of a little boy. MERPEOPLEOFTHE WORLD UNITE „ With swimming lessons over and all the participants full of confidence and knowledge, a celebration was called for and a gala celebration it was as Vi Abbink generously donated her time and home for the annual swimming party. The kids enjoyed sharing report cards and congratulating the graduates while consoling those who didn't quite make it - but best' of all the table full of cookies, cupcakes and brownies provided by their proud and hardworking moms. Speaking of beaches, we'd rather not, because our beach is nothing to speak of - we're referring to the lack of action from our so colled recreational organization, the H.H.P.O.A. in keeping the beach in presen­ table condition. We're referring to litter, garbage, untrimmed trees, broken blasS and un- mowed grass. We're disgusted with the fact that the one and only X recreational facility remains in really sorry shape. It really doesn't take money - just a J little organization of clean-up crews and a few man hours a month to keep our beach clean and green. But please, in the meantime, while we wait for action that never comes, if you will just pick up the area you are using, it will surely improve the HlptuwEu „ \ , A BICYCLE BUILT FOR ONE Lynn Kathan, who pedaled her way to fame and fortune, is the proud owner of a new ten- speed bike presented to her by the Lakes Region Rescue squad for her winning ways in this year's Bike-A-Thon. Lynn npt") only traveled 40 long hot miles, but her supporters raised much needed money for the squad's new equipment and projects. Congratulations to Lynn as well as the other- competitors from the village. OUR CONDOLENCES We mourn the death of our. young villager, Pat Anderson. We all feel deep sorrow at the loss of one of our friends and neighbors and we sincerely sympathize with his parents and brother and sister. We ask the Lord to guide and strengthen than in the coming days. We would like to remind those who use the beach and those whose children use the beach to extend the courtesy of watching out for those around you, to he careful when swimming or playing games.

AND FINALLY- For nine months we have tried to serve this village by reporting the news to the best of our ability. Although we would like to continue to serve you the task has become impossible because of a lack of cooperation in giving us news worthy items. In the future we are sorry to say we will not be able to run a weekly column but only ^vhen enough items have been collected to warrant one.

Launched in 1944 to reduce losses that impaired war-time agricultural production, Farm Safety week is focused on ac­ cident problems that destroy human and economic resources in agricultural communities. Its aim is to provide prevention measures for agricultural producers and those who work with and serve them. / "This year, emphasis is on the wisdom of making a per­ sonal and financial investment in safety to help cut the human and economic costs of ac­ cidents," the NSC said. Agriculture is the* nation's biggest industry with assets running into the hundreds of billions of dollars. Farmers and ranchers have substantial investments in land, facilities, equipment and animals. Also, they invest a great deal of themselves-time, energy, skill, mind, muscle, heart-into the operation of their enterprises, the USDA said. > Making an investment in safety can pay impressive dividends. It can help save lives and prevent sadness, suffering and disruption of family life. It can also help keep people on the job-full time, undiminished, unimpaired. If facilities and equipment are properly maintained lor maximum safety, they will alao pet form at their most productive, ef­ ficient and economical host. Farm and ranch people can achieve mud) by investing some time and effort in adopting safer wavs of working, playing and driving. College Honors j DEAN'S LIST Christine D.

Most cars. /V\< >f\J I ( »( >/VU KY A dirty air conditioner has to work harder. That wastes money. When your air conditioner is dirty, it has to work harder. That takes more energy. And you end up wasting money. A good periodic cleaning will make your air conditioner more efficient, and will help you save on its operating costs. It's possible to clean most window units in only about 10 minutes. You should check your owners manual for specific clean­ ing and maintenance instructions, but in most cases the steps to follow in cleaning are very simple. And the more thoroughly you clean, the more money you'll save. Vacuum the filter and save a little. First pull the plug. Then take off the front panel, and care­ fully remove the filter. You can vacuum it while it's still in place, but it's easier to clean the filter well if you remove it first Wash the filter and ilittle Going places? Stop here first. IV/il H U FOE YOUR CONVENIENCE THE AUTO SERVICE IS OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK Mon. thru Fri. 8:30a.m. to9p.m. Sat. 8:30-5, Sun. 12Noon~5 Crystal Lake 105 NflrtlMtst Htghmy Roots 14 Phom 459-6450 • FREE PARKING Your owner s manual will tell you whether the filter in your air condi­ tioner is the kind that can be washed and reused. If it is, you can get the filter even cleaner by first vacuuming it, and then hand washing it in warm water and a gentle detergent. The type of soap recommended for washing woolens is best suited to this job. Save on central air. you've got central air condition ing in your home, there are several steps you can take to keep your central air system running efficiently. Remember to clean or re­ place your furnace filters < regularly. Clear away any debris from around the outdoor unit. And keep grass and shrubs trimmed back to 12 inches away from any working parts. A call for help may help yon save. If you've had your air conditioner for several years and have/iever cleaned it before, it could take a qualified serviceman to perform the kind of maintenance and repairs that may be necessary. In an older unit the condenser coil, refrigerant charge, and motor parts may need expert attention. / The idea of using timers on air conditioners is catching on. You can plug your window unit into an auto- matic timer made especially for air ^ conditioners. It works just like the kind of timer you'd use to turn your lights on automatically When you're away from home. You can set the timer so that your air conditioner comes on an hour or so before you get home from work on a hot summer day, That way your house will be comfortable when you arrive, but you'll be using less electricity. And your air con­ ditioner won't be running all day long. There's one last thing you should remember about air con­ ditioners, especially if you're thinking about buying a new one. Air conditioner effi­ ciency varies from model to model, depending on what we call the Energy Efficiency Ratio, or EER. The higher the EER, the more cooling you get for your electric dollar, year after year. It's easy to figure out the EER. Attached to every air conditioner is a metal plate showing that machine's watts and BTU's. To get the EER, just divide the watts into the BTU's. We recommend An EER of 8 or more. The more efficiently you use energy, the less energy you waste, and the more money you save. And an efficient air conditioner can save you plenty. e
