From The Kiwanis Newsletter It is quite bracing on Monday mornings to hear a group of men sing “My Country ’Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty,” and then follow with the “Pledge of Allegiance.” Rev. John Weeks, introduced by Robert Day, in presenting the program promoted the club theme, “Share Your Life” by playing a tape by Charles Shedd on the marriage partnership. He emphasized that relationship in the family is the place to begin in “sharing your life.” Mr. Shedd told of the “Covenant of Transparency” — being open and honest with each other, the “Covenant of Liberty” — emphasizing that self-actualization ran only come as we allow each other the dignity of freedom and the “Covenant of Prayer” — stating the advisability of prayer in duet, rather than solo. Mr. Weeks then gave a report

Vega Corporation To Open Third Plant At Syracuse

Vega Corporation, perhaps Lakeland’s fastest growing industry, has announced plans to open its third plant in Syracuse. In making the announcement this week, Al Amos, general manager of Vega Corp., said production in the 80 by 200-foot all-steel building would begin about December 11. The new plant, which will be used to build motor homes, is located on West Brooklyn street, Syracuse, west of its No. 1 and

Prepare Your House For This Winter

Everyone likes to save on his living expenses. Yet many of us are lax when it comes to performing a few tasks around the house that could mean dollars saved. Winterizing your house in the fall is as important as winterizing your car, points out Paul E. Johnson, Purdue university extension agricultural engineer. Certain steps taken at this critical time of the year can forestall major repairs and certainly are good maintenance practices. Johnson suggests you make these fall checks: Drain water as you roll up the garden hose, preparatory to hanging it up for the winter. Turn off the outside faucets from the basement. Then be sure to open the faucets so the line will drain and not freeze. Check guttering and install guards to keep the leaves from clogging gutters and plugging downspouts and drain lines. This will also prevent excessive corrosion. Check the house’s foundation for cracks and fill any found with concrete mix. If there is a crack between your garage floor and the paved drive, make every effort to correct this. Water could fill this area and freeze, cracking the floor or drive. Liquid asphalt is available in tubes and should work well to fill the crack if the opening is not over ¥4 inch. If the crack is larger, use a concrete mortar mix or asphalt mix. Use a caulking gun and fill all cracks around the windows and doors to keep the water out. Water entering in these places provides for termites, often causes damage through freezing and hastens deterioration of the wood. Install storm windows and add stripping, if necessary, around windows and doors to prevent air leaks. Check the heating system and make sure the burner and ignitor or pilot light are operating properly. Change the air filters and lubricate bearings of the fan units, if needed. Some units have sealed bearings while others require a few drops of oil monthly. Some units have a two-speed

motor, as higher velocity air flow is needed for air conditioning than for heating. In this case, switch to the low speed for heating. If you have central air conditioning, be sure it is turned off. Cover the compressor unit outside to protect it from the weather. Set traps for mice that may invade through the garage door or basement openings. Traps are now available that will wind up and catch 10 to 12 mice with one winding.
