Conserve and Save Senior citizens on fixed in­ comes need all the tips they can get when it comes to cut­ ting costs during these days of rising inflation. Since heat­ ing water usually equals about 15 per cent of the average energy bill, let's consider a method of reducing spending by conserving hot water -- it's normally taken too much for granted! While you obviously can't do without hot water, there are several ways to conserve it so that energy requirements and costs will be less. Initially, contact a reliable heating and plumbing con­ tractor to ensure you have the proper size heating-unit tank for your household. Relocate the unit, if neces­ sary, as close as possible to the area of major hot water use. Use small-diameter pipes for hot wat^r supply lines to minimize heat loss and to re­ duce the volume of trapped water. A thermostat setting of 110 to 120 degrees Farenheit on a water heater is suffi­ cient if you don't have an automatic dishwasher. A set ting of 140 degrees is recom mended if you do have one. Temperatures higher than that tend to shorted the life of a glass-lined tank. There is great danger that what we consider important is unimportant. * * * * When the bell rings for lunch, even the best worker will stop his labor. Governor Thompson proclaimed Feb. 24 through March 1 to be Homemakers Extension Week in Illinois, on Jan. 8, 1980. Mayor Stanek signed the same proclamation for McHenry on Feb. 20. Homemakers Extension association is sponsored through the University of Illinois Cooperative Ex­ tension service. The "Home and Hearth" McHenry's unit,bounded by Lois Jacobs and Julie Pieroni, held its first meeting Oct. 26, 1970 in the home of Mrs. Jacobs. The purpose of the meetings is to obtain homemaker's education through informal adult participation. Volunteer leaders are members who receive subject matter training from the Extension staff; they prepare and present the appropriate material to the entire club. Twice a year the Co.unty Home Economics Adviser presents a lesson. Members from each unit suggestions on topics for programs to be discussed at monthly meetings, .such as Consumer Concerns, Family Life, Energy, Clothing and Textiles, Food and Nutrition. Homemakers also help sponsor and participate in special events such as craft workshops, cultural art fcur and international dinners. The homemakers also work with the 4-H youth in the McHenry area. During H.E.A. Week the Home and Hearth had a craft night to learn broom stick lace, macrame and stuffed Christmas trees and' made final arrangements for the high school voters registration. It will be the second year for this registration and it pleased the unit to be asked to repeat this project. Homemakers Extension association is open to everyone and more in­ formation can be obtained by contacting Mrs. Ben H (Lois) Jacobs, Ringwood road. Musical Show Planned At a recent Birthright business meeting members voted to accept the proposal of A1 Smith to produce and direct, for Birthright, a family oriented musical show. Mr. Smith said he plans a variety of singing and dancing to make this Spring revue an exciting event. During the next few months, plans will be made by volunteers to attend the international Birthright convention in South Bend, Ind., June 13, 14 and 15. The director, Tina Gorski, announced a training session to be held for new volun­ teers. Also, all experienced workers are expected to attend a refresher course, which will include a showing of the Wilke slides. Sue Grant, chairman of the provisions committee, announced an effort is being made to stock infant clothing, especially 6-12 month undershirts, crib blankets, cribs, and mat­ tresses. "Of course, any baby items are welcome," Mrs. Grant added, "but requests for necessities have increased over the winter months. Anyone .wjjtfi a contribution may cali, 385- 2999 and leave a message on the tape, and the call will be returned." Birthright is a volunteer service with the philosophy, every woman has the right to give birth; every child has the right to be born. For more information call 385- 2999.
