EER IS IMPORTANT
The most important considera
tion in buying a window air
conditioner is the EER ?? that is.
the Energy Efficiency Ratio.
The higher the EER. the less
electricity the unit will use to cool
the same amount of air. EER's will
range between six and twelve.
Don't buy a unit with an EER of
less than seven. You'll pay more for
the units with higher EER's. but
the electricity savings will be worth
it.
A window unit with an EER of
twelve, cools fifty percent more air
for a dollar's worth of electricity
than a unit with an EER of eight.
The Association of Home Appli
ance Manufacturers published a
directory that lists all air condition
ing units, their capabilities and
their EER's.
AIR CONDITIONER
Have you cleaned the filter on
your air conditioner yet? If you <
haven't, you probably aren't get
ting the full benefit of its cooling
capacity.
Cleaning is vital, since an air
conditioner's efficiency is related to
the amount of air moving through
the unit. Here's what 1 mean.
Lint and dust reduce the amount
of air that can pass through an air
conditioner. That reduces cooling
effectiveness. To make things ,
worse, a buildup of lint and dust
can overload the unit.
So check the filter to see if it
needs cleaning or replacing. Most
room air conditioners have a
permanent filter you can clean.
You can clean it with your
vacuum cleaner, or you can take
the filter out of the unit and wash
it.
While you're at it. clean the grill
and remove the dust and lint from
around the coils and the inside.

It seems to nie thai, if Roman
Catholics have often made too
much of Jesus' mother. Man.', so.
too. Protestants have generally
made too little of her. There .are
lots of Protestant churches named
for St. Paul. St. Peter. St. Thomas.
St. John, and St. James, but 1 have
never encountered one named for
Mary, the mother of Jesus.
I find this very curious inasmuch
as Mary' shines as one of the most
interesting and inspiring persons in
the New Testament. Next to
Jesus himself, there is no one as
highly celebrated by the four
evangelists: "Blessed are you
among women, and blessed is the
fruit of your womb." exclaimed
Elizabeth, her kinswoman.
The veneration given Mary bv
Roman Catholics has often had an
effect similar to the one produced
by Protestant indifference: Chris
tians generally find it hard to
identify with her. She is either set
far above our human situation or
ignored entirely. Yet there is a
great deal that Mary can teach us
about the living of our own lives.
Mary was. like us. a human
being and therefore subject to all
the concerns and limitations that
confront us. When confronted by
the angel. Gabriel, we arc told that
she was "greatly troubled at the
saying and considered in her mind
what sort of greeting this might
be." God was revealing to Mary
that he had a plan and purpose for
her life and. like any of us. Mary's
response was one of fear and
self-doubt. Even after Mary ac
cepted her role as the mother of
Christ, there were times when
doubt and misunderstanding took
over. On one occasion. Mary and
some of Jesus' brothers are con
vinced Jesus is "beside himself."
and come, seeking to persuade him
to stop and come home.
But. if Mary's faith and under
standing were sometimes as imper
fect as ours, she had other traits
that carried her beyond those
limitations. For one thing, she was
a woman who reflected on- her
experience. Confronted by Gabriel,
Luke tells us she "considered in her
mind" his message. Later he tells
us: "Mary kept all these things,
pondering them in her heart."
Secondly, even though she did
not fully understand God's will for
her. she committed herself to it:
"Behold. I am the handmaid of the | j
Lord: let it be to me according to
your world!" There are times in our
lives when our understanding car
ries us as far as it can and then we
must make the leap of commitment
and submit ourselves to God's
purpose.
"Hail. O favored one. the Lord is
with you." During the stormy days
of Jesus' ministry and the last week
in Jerusalem. Mary must have
mused that it was a strange kind of --
"favor" God had bestowed on her.
But Mary was to learn, as we must,
that the "favor" of God often
means a cross. It is only beyond the
cross and the resurrection that the
favor of God is seen in its true light.
