WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1968 ® An Editorial ture plans mapped . The better of the two pic- nic shelters was tackled first because to repair the other would have taken more funds than the organization had av- ailable at the time. A new roof was installed and crushed stone was re- newed on the floor. Weeds and grass were cut, the place generally “polished up” and new waste containers provid- ed. Too, 30 tons of new sand has been hauled in to form a small beach along the creek. What will happen when high waters come is anyone’s guess but in the meantime, youngsters have a wonderful time. Jaycees and their families have found that the Cove (Turn to Page 7) project has been a lot of fun. Work parties of various size have been going to the area off and on and others are planned. The Jaycees selection of the project is to be commended. The organization, which al- ways, like everyone else, seems to be short of cash, has been able, nevertheless to make some progress. What the young men lack in mon- ey, they make up for in muscle. and find the doing part of the fun. Their pride in the commu-. nity is worth note by the people of the area and a word of appreciation for their interest is not out of place. Timely Tips for Women by Doris W.

Vegetables picked at peak level of ripeness, and eaten soon after t aste best. They also are best for you as they contain more vitamins than do older - and wilted vegetables. Prepare vegetables plain and simple. Raw vegetables are always good. But when you cook them, be careful to cook only until they're done. They taste better and have more vitamins when not ov- ercooked. For best results, cook them in a small amount of water. Since vegetables are quite low in calories, keep them this way by serv- ing them plain. Too much butter or rich sauces add un- wanted calories. Consider Room Size Unit When Choosing An Air-Conditioner Most medium-sized rooms can be cooled by an air- conditioner with a cooling capacity of 6,000 to 6,800 BTU’s. You can install the conditioner without special wiring except where build- ing codes require a separate circuit. It’s best not to buy xi ¥en : | Member UNITED TELEPHONE SYSTEM Almighty God. The too powerful a unit for your needs because it may be a waste of money and make a room too cool. Almost con- stant running of an air-condi- tioner gives constant cooling and dehumidifying. With too powerful a unit too much cooling comes with a longer period of no air movement and no moisture removed from the air, resulting in a less comfortable atmosphere. If the louvers in your house are set so cooled air goes out or upward, you'll get . the best cooling. Cool air does not rise so avoid directing louvers toward the floor. A conditioner with a high and a low setting gives you a chance to have it more quiet during the night. Leaving the unit on high fan setting during the day gives better air distribution. When you shop for an air- conditioner take a simple rough floor plan, showing exposure, length and width of rooms, and location of windows, to a dealer. If you can find out the amount of insulation in the ceiling and walls, it will help him rec- ommend the correct size of conditioner..Choose a dealer who has a reputation for good service. Most well- known manufacturers pro- duce good air-conditioners bearing the Association of Home Appliance Manufactur- ers seal. It’s estimated that a room air-conditioner of about 6,500 BTU’S per hour capa- city costs about $18 a season to run in Pennsylvania. History of Fabric Construction Dates Back To Early Man Fabric construction was recognized in its natural state by prehistoric man. He discovered spider webs, and cocoons made of layed-on or felted gossamer fibers. The silkworm produced the strongest fibers which were reeled off the cocoon, spun, and woven into a variety of fabrics. Weaving is accomplished with a loom set up with vert- ical warp into which hori- zontal filling yarns are plac- ed. Plain, basket, twill, leno, jacquard (intricate design) brocades, tapestries, damask, cut and uncut pile" weaves, and double fabrics provide a variety from which to choose Earliest evidence on woven fabrics of flax or linen, cot- ton, wool, hemp, and jute are displayed in museums around the world. A variety of woven designs came into being as the weaver made mistakes and liked the re- sults. Then he repeated de- signs, changing them to suit his purpose. God Still Is In The Schools Many are disturbed by the U.S. Supreme Court's prohibition of officially spon- sored prayers and devotional reading of the Bible in pub- lis schools. But few are a- ware of the many doors the Court leaves open for recog- nition of God in the class- room. Within the Court’s limits, educators can make the cur- riculum reflect the recogni- tion of God as an integral part of American life and the religious influences in man’s development. They can i nclude these facts: 1. The Mayflower Compact, Forty-one Pilgrims in 16:0 prepared the first writtin constitution of our land. Its opening: “In the ram=z of God, Amen,” it also stated that the voyage to Ameria had been ‘undertaken for the glory of God” and was sign- ed “solemnly and mutually in the presence of God.” 2. Declaration of Indepen- dence. This cornerstone of American freedom provides the basis for our Constitu- tion, Bill of Rights, and all later legislation in behalf of human rights. It makes four specific references to the de- pendence of our nation on God. It speaks of the laws of nature and of nature's God; that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with cer- tain unalienable rights. It appeals to the Supreme Judge for the rectitude of our in- tentions, and trusts in a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence. 3. Thanksgiving Day. From the start of the nation, one day each year has been set aside to render thanks to Chief Executive officially asks each citizens to express gratitude : to a bountiful Creator. 4. The American seal. On $1 bills since 1782 the seal is pictured with the Eye of God directly above the pyramid. The words Annuit Coeptis signify: “He (God) has favor- ed our undertakings.” : 5. Oath of Office. The oath taken by government employ- ees, witnesses in court, and passport applicants concludes with the prayerful petition: “So help me God.” This prac- tice was originated by Geo. Washington. 6. National anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner. For 117 years, this song was pop- ular as a patriotic hymn. On March 3, 1931, Congress ad- opted it as our national an- them. Its closing: ‘Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just. And this be our motto — In God is our trust) 7. National motto, In God We Trust. A joint resolution was adopted by Congress on Juiy 20, 1956. 8. State Constitutions. For- ty-nine state constitutions recognize our dependence on God Himself as the source of human rights and liberties. 9. Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Both the House and Senate adopted the resolu- tion to add the words under God to the pledge, and it was made the law of the land by President Eisenhow- er on June 14, 1954. FREEZE QUALITY FRUIT Because freezing does not improve the quality of fruits, select fruit that is firm, ev- enly ripe, and at peak ripe- ness for eating, advise Penn State extension foods and nu- trition specialists. Immature fruit becomes pale and taste- less in the freezer; overripe fruit turns dark. Louis Pasteur, the 19th century French chemist, is often called the “Father of Bacteriology.” His most fam- ous contribution to our well- being was the processs by which dairy products are treated to destroy the bacter- ia which cause spoilage and disease. : Patronize Our Advertisers
