Preparing to organize efforts and personnel for the requirements of a 19080-81 United Way fund drive, executives of the McHenry county organization are methods of developing a smooth running campaign team. The United Way is a concept for providing human services and like all con cepts is undergoing revision. In many communities serious questions have been raised about the "haves" giving to the "have-nots" and the questions come from both sides. The social payoff of welfare services in some United Way areas is in doubt, because the purposes of American society at large, are in doubt. After years of effort to improve the lot of people near the low end of the social heap, the moun tain of human need looms tall. As newly elected President Frank Greenwald put it, "There is no end to the good you can do in the world, so you have to have priorities. The resources for doing good are limited, so a prime requirement for doing good on a community-wide scale is effective m a n a g e m e n t . J o h n O'Hagan, our new executive director, has organized our committees for the coming campaign and the board members feel we are on the right track with his table of organization." O'Hagan commented, "What we are doing is managing by objective. A simple definition of the term is that people who. work together for any purpose can decide what they want to accomplish, set a date for that accomplishment, then schedule all efforts that will be needed." Committees that will be tying together all elements of the campaign include the campaign committee which will be chaired by Frank Greenwald; the nominating committee, chaired by Phil Wheelock; the allocations committee, chaired by Merle Johnsen; the com munity relations committee chaired by John Sherbert, and the long range planning committee, chaired by Robert Proctor. Goal setting and carrying out the tasks that will achieve goals, is very much in tune with the social changes that are giving rise to _ questions about the traditional forms of social services. The United Way of McHenry County has been employing the techniques of management by objective for the past several years, and has enjoyed constant growth in community support and trust. This practice should make for an even more successful campaign in 1980 than was the highly Successful one of 1979. FUTURISTIC STRUCTURE Gov. James R. Thompson unveiled a working model of the new 17-story State of Illinois center in Chicago. The $89.8 million futuristic structure, the largest building construction project to be undertaken by the state, will be in the block bounded by Lake, Clark, Randolph and LaSalle streets. The new center will accommodate 4,200 em ployees. It will be built with energy efficiency and economy foremost in mind, Thompson said. Design of the building was a joint effort by two Chicago firms, C.F. Murphy Associates, Inc., and Lester B. Knight & Associates, Inc. Con struction will be overseen by the Illinois Capital Development Board. Site demolition will begin by April, with construction anticipated to begin in the fall. An estimated 4,000 jobs will be created during the project's construction period, which will extend into 1983. ?AGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH S, IMO Saving On Energy Costs The only way to cut your home energy costs is to first become aware of your current energy use habits and then to change them, according to John Konitzer, chairman of the natural sciences division at, McHenry County college. Konitzer is a chemistry instructor who has spent some time studying energy use and efficiency. He will teach a seminar in March on energy conservation and also wants to share tips on energy savings with area residents.- "The first step is to learn how to read your utility bills, to find out what the numbers mean and to compute your annual energy fcQSts/' Konitzer advises. "It works out t9 a.one-percent savings on your heating bill for each degree you set the ther mostat back," Konitzer said. Konitzer doesn't urge everyone to buy a ther mostat which has automatic setback features, however. "You have to consider the economics of it. If you spend $200 for an automatic set back thermostat, will you save that much on your heating bills over say a four- year period?" Konitzer ' asked. In addition to turning down your thermostat there are other ways to save heating costs, Konitzer said. "A home should be comfotable without being costly. You can make it that way with caulking, weatherstripping, additional insulation, or by simply closing doors, and covering windows," he said. "Appliance use is also another factor in your energy bills. The one door everyone forgets to keep closed is the refrigerator door,"- Konitzer notes. "Your refrigerator uses more energy cooling and you add to your heating bill when you stand there pondering the contents and let all that cold leak into the room," he said. Another area which Can cut your energy bill is use of hot water. "Did you know that one-third of all energy used in the average home is to heat water?" Konitzer asked. "Turn down the water heater and don't add as much cold water when washing dishes or bathing and set your washing machine on the cold or warm setting rather than hot." Konitzer notes that in making any energy saving dedsion you have to con sider the cost versus the benefits. And you also have to consider where you are in life. "I tell people that if they have more than 15 or 20 years until retirement it is worthwhile to spend money on adding insulation, new storm windows and doors, modifying fireplaces or other major expenditures," 4ie said. A lot of the problem is that we still think of energy as being cheap, but it isn't anymore, Konitzer said. "It wasn't too many years ago that I came home on a warm summer day and found my children huddled before a fire in the fireplace because the air conditioning was making the house too cold," be recalled. "Today you have to be sure not to do such things or even the more simple mistakeslike running the air conditioner with the doors open," he said. For additional information on the energy conservation seminar Konitzer will teach March 11,18 and 25 at North Junior high school in Crystal Lake, telephone MCC.
