Webster board lets insurance bid in emeraencv meeting
By DEB FOX North Webster Town Board members met in an emergency session last Wednesday evening, May 11, to accept insurance bids. The session was called when it was learned the town’s policy expired at 12:01 a.m. on May 12. Strayer Insurance, Warsaw, was the unanimous choice. The yearly premium will be $8,119. The board discussed at length Strayer’s policy as it was requoted with a SSOO deductable on the boiler machinery and a premium breakdown into the four town funds. Board members commented the premium is approximately three times as much as last year’s insurance, however, the town is receiving better coverage. It was decided to have the premium run from January 1 to December 31 instead May to May. Also a premium freeze of three years was approved. Eve Payne, clerk-treasurer, statea with the three-year premium freeze, preparing the budget will be easier. With the action Wednesday night the board cancelled the town’s present worker’s compensation policy. The police professional policy with the National Sheriff’s Association, was also cancelled. The workman’s compensation will be taken out

Remodel Kitchen for New Look
West Lafayette Ind. As housing prices and interest rates skyrocket, more people are turning to remodeling as a tfasible alternative. One of the first areas they consider is the kitchen. “Remodeling the kitchen can add to your house’s property value,” says Susan Merkley, Purdue University extension housing specialist. “But. be sure to keep your needs and your family in mind during the planning.” Common trouble spots in kitchen planning include inadequate and storage space, equipment located in awkward or cramped places, and appliances spread too far apart. When designing your kitchen, take these factors into account. Find out how your family feels about the kitchen, too. Merkley advises. If they enjoy sitting together and talking at meals, for

example, plan to have a table in the eating area, rather than a kitchen bar where everyone lines up in a row. Other values that may be important to you are aesthetic beauty, convenience, safety, and, above all, economy. The specialist suggests asking yourself. “Will the kitchen remodeling be worth the money 1 spend? Or would 1 be more satisfied using the money another way?” Remodeling is usually a good investment when the kitchen is in poorer condition than the rest of the house, or when the mechanical systems do not meet safety codes. “If the entire house is in poor condition, or if remodeling will increase the house value far above that of others in the neighborhood, it may not be a good idea.” Merkley adds.

He suggested that “When Bad Things Happen to Good People,” written by a rabbi is terrific reading for the doubter. Lobsiger went through a painful divorce and a month later he was reading an article in a magazine “The Guide Post,” which told of a man walking on the beach with the Lord and he happened to look back and he saw at times there was only one set of footprints. The Lord explained “That’s the time I picked you up Booth spaces available at Leesburg There are booth spaces, 12 feet by 20 feet, available for the Leesburg sesquicentennial celebration June 26-July 2.

Decorate to capture light and conserve energy
The way you decorate your home can enhance lighting and reduce power consumption. Most homeowners concentrate on thermostat control to conserve energy. But decorative ideas also can be used to save energy as well as to provide lighter, brighter and more appealing living atmospheres. Using such basic decorating elements as paint color and mirrors can make lighting work more efficiently and reduce electric bills, say building design experts for PPG Industries, maker of Pittsburgh Paints and glass for windows and mirrors. The PPG experts note that color can affect the lighting quality of a room. If you are redecorating, consider reflectance values of the paint colors you choose. In rooms with a single, small window or in belowground family rooms, a light bright paint color will do the most effective job of capturing light and dispersing it throughout the area. White has the highest reflectance value but other light bright colors can be used depending on the amount of light reflectance desired in any decorating scheme. Light reflectance values are provided by Pittsburgh Paints in color decks available to paint dealers and contractors. Your dealer can help you in making color selections. Whites have light reflectance values in the high 80s. Light pastel values of colors such as Crocus and Lemon Meringue provide 81 and 82 percent reflectance, respectively. A bright but light yellow such as Tulip gives 79 percent light reflectance whereas a medium blue (Calico) and deep yellow (Wild Mustard) give light reflectances of 40 and 41 percent respectively. If your chosen color is in a high-gloss paint finish, it will add up to four percent more reflectance than is provided in a flat or matte finish. The current trend is toward the use of gloss and semi-gloss sheens in interior design and —of importance to the do-it-yourself painter — they now come in water-base paints that are easy to apply and that provide quick cleanup. If you prefer muted to deep colors on the walls, 1 the PPG experts suggest they be used for nighttime activity rooms, such as a dining room. Paint ceilings white or a light value of the deeper wall color so that ceiling surfaces can reflect and diffuse light from both

A check was given to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes by the Wawasee Kiwanis to help send four young people to one of the national camps, of which there are 20. Each camp accomodates 1,200 young people. Rodger Kelly was welcomed as a new member of the club. He is the son-in-law of Herschel and Charlotte Wells. He and his wife, Pamela, and their three children, Christy, Chandia and Neil moved to Syracuse recently from southern California.

direct and indirect lighting sources. Obviously the prime function of mirrors is to reflect their surroundings. They not only depend on light for reflection but, with good placement, can help to maximize that light. If you place a mirrored wall adjacent to a window wall, the effect is a double portion of natural light, color and scenery. Floor-to-ceiling mirror panels that butt against each other will make a dark corner seem degrees lighter and brighter. Just as important, the mirrored corner will take on an unusual reflective design appearance. Mirrors can bring“windows” of brightness to solid walls, providing a reflective source for increased light reflection. An innovative treatment to use in belowground family rooms is circular, recessed mirrors that simulate porthole windows. Mirrored “windows” have the psychological effect of being the real thing and, as an aid to energy, they increase the reflectance of artificial light. If you are planning a redecorating project in the near future, the PPG experts advise you to consider using paint color and mirrors both as design tools and as functional mediums to conserve electricity. - ■ ■') Best of X ' Press And Frame Even when a gal is pretty as a picture most fellows like to take a peek at the frame. -Gulletin.
