Page 2 by Millie Hogoboom 696-2603 Almost everyone is beginning to feel the effects of the mid- winter doldrums. Only the avid skier and ice skater can rejoice this month. So last Saturday was a glorious day for a whole battalion of local skiers who made their assault on the slopes of Greek Peak near Cortland, N.Y. Richard Demmy of Dallas drove up with his son, Rickie, a student at the Hoosac School in Hoosick, N.Y. and Phillipe Debras of Huy, Belgium, a rotary exchange student who is living with the Richard Garman family of Brown Manor, Trucksville. Robert Weaver of Sutton road and son Peter ‘Weaver of Elmcrest Drive also made the trip. Another group of friends who participated in the sport were Robert Casselberry of Dallas and sons Bobby and David, Dick Hogoboom of Sutton Road and son Andy, and Bill Craig. For those of us who would rather sit in front of a warm fire, can spring be far behind when the Women’s Auxiliary of the Jackson Tewnship Fire Company plans a Mother’s Day Tea for May 11? Their program will feature Mr. Nicholas, wig stylist of the Wig Boutique, who will present a wig fashion show. Florence Weir, fashion coor- dinator for Lazarus, will present an accessory show. Another harbinger of spring was noted. Ann and Frank Parkhurst of Doran Drive, Trucksville, attended the United States Professional Indoor Tennis Championships at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. The Parkhurst family, collectively, hold more tennis trophies than any other family in the Back Mountain. No doubt they are anxious for warm weather and more tennis. The welcome mat is out at the new home of Tom and Betty Kiley on Sutton Road. Their first overnight visitor was their daughter, Ann, of Boxford, Mass., who spent the weekend of Jan. 29-30 with them. Another daughter, Mrs. John Wead of Cincinnati, the former Sharon Kiley, will be visiting her parents Feb. 19-21. Mr. Kiley is the chairman of the board of the First National Bank of Eastern Pennsylvania. ' LUELLA A. ROBERTS Luella A. Roberts, 82, died in Nesbitt Memorial Hospital Monday night.

Clothes last longer free from clothesline abuses. Clothes keep their colors longer, since there is no sun-fading. Clothes are cleaner, protected from dust) and soot in atmosphere. Dryer-dried clothes are soft and fluffy. 3 Ends dependence on weather for clothes drying. Cuts down on ironing time. Frees women from drudgery of lifting and car- rying several times over. BEFORE YOU BUY: Discuss your desire to buy a dryer with the whole family. Decide how much you are willing to spend. Think about the tasks you will be assigning to your dryer, and consider what features it will have to have to perform those tasks. Plan for the future. Will your wash loads in- crease with the years? Give attention to special needs of the family; if small children are about, you'll want a unit with controls out of their reach. For oldsters, con- trols that are easy to operate. Choose the location for a dryer, measuring the size of the space, and how far away the out- lets and drain connections are. Find out if your home is adequately wired. Choose a color that will fit your room's decor and satisfy you for years to come. Do some homework: call UGIl's Home Econ- omist for information. Read up on the subject in women’s magazines, etc. Find a reputable dealer that you've dealt with neighbors. WHEN BUYING: Discuss with dealer the cost of equipment and the availability of the model you like. Discuss installation requirements and cost. UGI will provide free 3-wire service if necessary. Call UG for details. Have your dealer explain the warranty in detail, especially what it covers and how long. Talk to other dealers to compare data. Take written notes with you. If you are buying during a warehouse sale or a heavy discount sale, be sure to ask if the lower price means any change in the terms of the warranty. Find out if the materials and finishes used in the machine you like require special care. Look for the Underwriters Laboratories seal on the machine, a guarantee that the dryer is safe from hazardous electrical flaws. Look for a brand name dryer, and make your decision on the basis of value, convenience, and durability. ‘Bargains’ may prove to be very costly in the long run. XK el 22 a FEATURES Timed Controls: Controls that let you set the number of minutes of drying time, based on the type of fabrics and the size of the load. Automatic Moisture Sensing: The most accurate type of control, this electronic feature uses both a thermostat and a moisture sensor to shut off automatically at the right degree of ‘‘dryness.” Automatic Temperature Sensing Control: This dial is a combined thermostat and timer, which automatically determines temperature and dry- ing time according to what fabrics are being dried. Air Fluff Cycle: This cycle tumbles clothes with- out heat, removing dust and lint, and fluffing items like blankets, drapes and pillows. Lint Trap: This lint-remover should be easily ac- cessible for cleaning. 3 Interior Light: This convenience feature lights up the inside for easy removal of clothes. Porcelain Top and Drum: The hard porcelain finish is a good protective covering for the top which is often used as a work surface. Porce- lain on the drum protects the items being dried. Safety Thermostat: This device shuts the dryer off if the heat selector fails to function. Permanent Press/Auto Dry Setting: This setting is designed for permanent’ press fabrics. It automatically fully dries clothes for wear, pre- venting wrinkles. Reminder Signal: This alarm alerts you to the fact that the dryer is about to shut off. Damp Dry Setting: This setting is desirable for perfectly drying clothes for ironing. Ozone light: Also called a sunshine freshener, this gives clothes a fresh outdoor smell. Toe-operated Pedal: This is a device for open- ing the door. Filter System: It condenses moisture taken from the clothes and maintains comfortable room humidity. ~ INSTALLATION: Most dryers require a separate 3-wire, 30-amp circuit and a 240 volt line. ‘The dryer should be vented to the outside, to keep moisture out of the laundry area. Have trained personnel install the dryer. Call UGH for 3-wire service, if necessary. Allow for adequate clearance if the dryer is located near another appliance or cabinet. Make sure there is adequate power available. Do not overload the circuit. Have an expert check the dryer’s grounding. Check the polarity and the grounding of the circuit. For convenience, place the dryer as close to the washer as possible. +* UGH CORPORATION
