ISSO-UNGS MOUNTAIN HERALO-Pog* 8g An Anniversary To Remember (From Pago 2-B) 1936 after a courtship which began during the summer of ’35 at Blue Ridge Assembly Grounds in the mountains of Western North Carolina. LeGrande Mayer was best man and Ruth McGinnis Caveny was honor attendant in the 6 p.m. wedding for which Mrs. J.E. Herndon was organist and the church choir sang “O Perfect Love”. Paul and Odell McGinnis ushered with Rhett Chalk and Clarence Smith. The bride wore an original design of royal purple velvet accented with gold and carried a colonial bouquet. Reminiscing, Mrs. Gonzalez said that just prior to the ceremony Edward was across the street at the church parsonage dressing for the ceremony and the lights went out. Geraldine arrived at the church and was greeted by Paul and Odell McGinnis who told her of the bridegroom’s failure to appear. What a panic time for the bride. LeGrande Mayer found a flashlight and helped the bridegroom get dress ed. Soon after, Geraldine went down the aisle on the arm of her father. For 35 years Rev. Mr. Gonzalez served the St. Peter’s Church of Plainfield, N.J., retir ing in 1970, moving from Bricktown, N.J. seven years ago to Fort Myers, Fla. Mrs. Gon zalez, affectionately known as “Jelly,” is the fourth child and oldest daughter in the McGinnis family of 13 children, daughter of Iva Harris and William Hinkle McGinnis. Following comple tion of seminary training, Mr. Gonzalez, native of New York City, served as pastor of a Lutheran church in Poestenkill, N.Y. for two years. In May 1933 he began his ministry of 37 years as pastor of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Plainfield, N.J. He retired on Sept. 1, 1970. Rev. Mr. Gonzalez now serves as a supply pastor and his wife is in volved in choral singing groups.

Better Econonny If you heat your home i with oil. you should know about Project Oilheat — a new program developed by the U.S. Department of ^Energy. If can cut your fuel 1 consumption up to 25%. And you won't have to give up one I degree of warmth and comfort in your home. A lot has been done in the past ten years to make oil heating equipment better and more efficient. Fuel oil dealers, heating contractors, oil jobbers, and plumbers participating in the Oilheat program have been trained through special government approved classes to provide their customers with these new, fuel-saving improvements. These Oilheat dealers can show you new burners that save up to 16% of your fuel. Thermostats that save up to 12%. A qualified Oilheat service technician can even cut your fuel consump tion up to 10% with sssjsr . a simple tune-up. So even with the cost of energy going up you can keep your fuel bills down by calling a participating Oilheat dealer Most people set the clock thermostat to lower the tem perature before they go to bed, and raise if shortly before they're due to get up Many clock thermostats can accommodate several setback periods, so you can raise and lower your home's temperature several times during the day. These are ideal lor working families. Call your Oilheat dealer for an efficiency check and find out how much you can save with modern fuel efficient equipment. Better Efficiency Better Service If your heating system operates below its efficiency potential — and most do — you're wasting a lot of oil and a lot of money. Outdated equipment, lack of maintenance, or poor heating habits can cause you to spend hundreds of dollars you could be saving. m 70H irit 8(K tSfh 5(1%; $231 r$266T$330 '»75 $412 312 I 353 77 . 267 A simple tune-up of your oil burner may greatly increase its efficiency. Like an automobile engine, an oil burner must receive the right mixture of air and fuel to operate at peak efficiency. And like the automobile engine, an oil burner can go "out of tune" and start wasting oil. An Oil heat technician can tune up your system — clean the heat exchanger (the part of your furnace that transfers heat from the fire box to the air or water that circulates through your house), change the oil and/or air filters, check the unit for air leaks, adjust the combustion air. check the nozzle size and perform a final efficiency check. Tests have shown that furnaces that run for longer periods of time at a lower firing rate tend to use less oil than those that run for shorter periods of time at a higher firing rate. So, it may be worthwhile to have your Oilheat tech nician reduce the rate at which your burner uses oil. Of course, the only way to know for sure if this service is needed is to have an Oilheat efficiency check. So, if you haven't had one yet this season, call your Oilheat dealer and arrange for one soon. You could start saving 10% — or better. Better Advice Better Equipment Since 1970 most of the product research and development in the home heating industry has been directed toward energy conservation — equip ment that produces more heat out of less fuel. As a result, there are now greatly improved, highly efficient com ponents to modernize virtually every aspect of your heating system. Your Oilheat dealer can tell you about all of them in detail, but just to give you an idea, we've outlined two of" the more significant advances for you here." FurnaM The Flame-Retention Head Burner The oil burner Is the key to an efficiently operating heating system. Like the carburetor of your car. the function of an oil burner is to mix the fuel from your storage tank with the The Clock Thermostat Your Oilheat service technician can give your furnace or boiler a complete energy efficiency check. This series of tests provides an accurate read-out of your system's performance. And, if your efficiency rating is less than it should be. the efficiency check can pinpoint the problem. Based on the results of these tests, you will receive a recommendation of steps you can take to save fuel and money. These will include both the cost and the estimated annual savings associated with these recommendations. Remember, too, that the savings will continue to climb with the price of energy. Call your participating Oilheat dealer today and sched ule your energy efficiency check. The longer you wait, the more you'll waste. Even without installing new equipment, you can cut your fuel consumption con siderably. Proper mainte nance by a qualified Oilheat technician can save you up to 10% of the oil you burn. Your Oilheat dealer can show you many ways to save. In addition to energy-efficient equipment and fuel-saving service, there are some "common sense" improvements you can do yourself. • Keep radiators, registers and dust filters clean. This allows the heat from your furnace or boiler to circu late freely through your home. • Make sure carpeting, drapes and furniture don't obstruct air flow around radiators, registers, or cold air returns. • Keep the furnace area clean and keep pets away from your heating system. Hair, dust and lint can accumulate and plug air inlets. Alt of the suggestions above can help cut your fuel consumption. But, the single, most effective action you can lake is to call a participating Oilheat dealef right away for an energy efficiency check. I proper amount of air for combustion in your furnace or boiler. The new flame-retention head burners intensifies the combustion process. This makes your heating system operate cleanerj and up to 16% more efficiently.
