Community Club Meets In Walkerton The GFWC Walkerton Woman's Community Gub met at the Walkerton Community Building on Friday, November 18th. Seventeen members were present. Hostesses for the occasion were Ann Rockwell, Pamela Kaplowitz and Alfreda Onika. Ann Rockwell gave the opening prayer and Alfreds Onika read a beautiful short essay entitled "Meditations” for the Devotions. The president informed the group that Freida Meyer had taken a fall and is in the hospital and she would be cheered by cards from her club members and friends. She also reminded the members that Viola Bregi would be having a birthday on November 27th and would also enjoy hearing from her friends. Vice president Carol Knop had the club’s yearbook completed and she gave them to the members to put together. The annual Christmas meeting will be held at Al’s Diner at Koontz Lake on December 2nd at noon. Members were reminded to bring a homemade ornament for the Christmas tree. They were also asked to bring two dozen homemade cookies and some canned items to give to the Community Pantry. The president showed the members a book of Devotionals to which anyone could submit their favorite devotionals to be published. The rules and the address may be acquired by calling president Barbara Simpson at 586-2284. A very serious discussion was held concerning a problem that is common to most clubs: how to get members to attend meetings and participate in the projects in which the club is involved. Unfortunately, no solution were forthcoming. The next meeting will be the Christmas meeting on December 2nd.

R.E.A.L. SERVICES NEWS WALKERTON On Monday Harold and Hazel Schweder were here at the "REAL Services” site with Harold our welcoming committee and Hazel told some short stories and jokes to cheer and brighten the day. Tuesday Morris Searfoss told us an experience he had while in the service in Korea. Their unit was overrun by combat choppers while the river that they were walking in was deep and carrying his rifle and other gear, he was thrown in the river. When he came up out of the water he lost all of the things he was carrying, rifle and all, also his false teeth. The experience came out in the Army paper and called it "combat choppers”. Wednesday everyone was shocked when I (Jessie S.) didn’t arrive at the REAL Services site to tell my usual short stories and jokes. I went to a funeral in Indianapolis and forgot to call Betty Snodgrass. Sorry you all! Thursday Iva Gark read us a short story called "The Water Cure” and a poem called "A Friends Prayer". She then gave us a joke. "What did the old tom cat say while the mice on roller skates went by?” Answer: "Meals On Wheels”. Friday Verice Walz was ill so Paulilne Klopfenstein played the piano and Evadene Platz led the singing for our regular sing-a-long.

Household Help by John Amantea

Q. My home is equipped with a forced warm-air, oil-heating system. I have taken care of my ow n maintenance for the past three years. Shortly after this heating season began, my furnace started to make unfamiliar noises when in operation. The sounds I hear may not necessarily be a mechanical problem, but I’m not ruling that out. Do you have any information regarding some troubleshooting I may need to know? A. Often, homeowners may think that they need to replace their furnaces because of the strange noises that are produced Usually, a minor mechanical adjustment is needed due to something simple, such as a loose fan belt However, considering the nature of your heating system or any other, most will make some type of noise when in operation First, tum off the power to the fur nace and remove the access panel to the blower area Check to make sure that the drive belt between the motor and the blower is in alignment The belt should have proper tension and be free of any cracks You can now tum your power back on and visually check the pulley on the motor, making sure that it’s not loose If loose, simply retighten the bolt in the center of the pulley or set screw s, if applicable Also, check the pulley on the blower fan for similar malfunctions Once again, shut the power off and spin the blower and try to listen for any noise which may be caused by something inside You should call an experienced technician if there is any rubbing against the housing It probably needs to be adjusted and there may also be problems with the shaft collars WORDS ENDING IN “IT" v/ y R \\ *?? u l * O OM)

The blower needs to be oiled annually Check your owner’s manual for instructions A few drops of light oil should also be put into the motor but only where you see the "oil here" words. One very important area of maintenance is changing the furnace filter A dirty furnace filter can cause noise and mislead you to believe there are mechanical problems The most common noise from forced warm-air heating systems is the pressure of air being thrust against the duct walls This should disappear once the system is operating continuously Send Household Help questions to John Amantea, King Features Weekly Service, 235 East 45th Street, New York, N.Y. 10017.
