Another Excellent Year For Home Buying
n
A 111 i hei 2 mi) tion huusinK
year tt in prospect for
1973, wkh an abundance of
new rt-sideiiiai u niu in the
early months. The experts
predict the value of residen
tial construct ion will approach
$40 lull ion by the end or the
year. Demand for mortgage
money will be brisk.
This out look emphasizes
now is the best time for
your purchase
of a home.
Land,labor,and
material costs
continue their
upward trend
so consider buv-
Hickman ing as soon as
you can afford it. Chances re
main favorable that the home
you choose wilt be an excel
lent long range investment.
Whether you buy a single
family home, condominium
apartment, or town house, it
probably will be the largest
single investment you ever
make. With this much of your
money involved, it's wise to
become well informed in ad
vance on real estate purchas
ing. As you seek information,
don't forget to obtain the
facts on the closing-that's
when the parties get together
to complete the transaction.
When you're fa the market,
carefully consider the design,
condition, age. and location
of a home. Look into what's
available in community facil
ities and municipal-type serv
ices. Check with the local
planning department or its
equivalent on the outlook for
the neighborhood. Don't be
rushed. Consider your pur
chase carefully.
After you've found the
home you want, shop around
before applying for mortgage
financing. Ask lenders about
the interest rate, penalty if
.payments are late, insurance
required on the property, in
clusion of taxes and interest
in the monthly payments, and
possibility of paying off the
loan before maturity without
penally.
Before you go to the clos
ing, consider purchasing own
er's title insurance if it isn't
provided by the seller as a
matter of local custom. Lend
er's title insurance protects
only your mortgage lender
against possible land title haz
ards. For a one-time charge
at the closing, title insurance
pays for a defense against an
attack on a title as insured
and pays valid claims. A title
search of many separately lo
cated public records, and the
review of the information and
evidence it discloses, serve as
a basis for title insurance. As
a result of the search, title
hazards of record are pointed
out so you or your represen
tative can take appropriate
action as necessary-before
you complete your real estate
transaction. Title insurance in
cludes protection against prob
lems even the most thorough
search cannot reveal, such as
a forged deed that transfers
no title or a mistake in the
records.
1 Your i n ve s t i ga t i o n of
what's involved in home buy
ing in your community will
be aided if you ask a local
real estate broker, mortgage
lender, title company execu
tive, attorney, or other expert
to provide guidelines. Gather
ing the facts will help you
prepare for the adventure of
purchasing real estate--and will
improve your chances for an
enjoyable and profitable in
vestment. For free information on

Mean Foreign Bee Is
Honey Industry Threat
The honey bee has
made the news in
North Carolina recently
as efforts have been made
to have it declared the
official state insect. In
some other parts of
the world, the bee is in
the news in a less
favorable way.
An exceptionally ag
gressive and ferocious
strain of hooey bee
has become established
In Brazil and has
been spreading rapidly,
according to Frank
Meacham, North Caro
lina State University
extension beekeeper.
There Is some con
cern, Meacham said, that
the Brazilian bee might
eventually migrate to the
U, S. and present a
serious threat to the bee
keeping industry, -
A study by the U. S.
Department of Agricul
ture Indicates that the
threat of the mean bee
is so great that "it is
essential to do whatever
can be done to minimise
the likelihood of the bee
migrating here."
The aggressive bee
Will not only attack
intruders, but it will also
take over the hives of
other bees. It forages so
aggressively that strains
kept by commercial bee
keepers could not
in area
reports from South
America indicate that
beekeepers can't use the
new strain because of its
meanness and because it
often leaves the hives,
migrates long distances
and sets up a new nesting
site of its own choosing.
The strain has spread
through southern Brazil
and into Paraguay,
Uruguay. Argentina,
Bolivia and Peru. The
southward spread has
slowed, apparently be
cause of the cooler
weather, but the spread
northward continues at
the rate of about 200
miles per year.

Meals-on-Wheels Is
Homemaker Club Idea
By
JANICE CHRISTENSEN
Some Senior Citizens
In Gaston County are
getting warm, well
balanced meals at lunch
time, thanks to a Meals-on-Wheels
project.
Members of the coun
ty's Extension Home
makers Clubs help pre
pare the food and package
it for home delivery,
explains Mrs. Gerry
Spear, home economics
extension agent.
From there, five
teams of transporters
carry the food to home
bound elders each ;day.
Each team delivers only
four or six meals, so
foods will get to the
homo,'; at meal time and
still be warm.
Other club members
help with kitchen clean
up and help plan menus
and shop for food
supplies.
"At this point we are
preparing food and
carrying it to the
homes," the agent noted.
"But we hope someday
to have a central gather
ing place where Senior
Citizens can visit while
they eat a hot meal."
PITCH-IN
Volunteer work not
only keeps some Ala
mance County home
makers in touch with
school operations and
procedures; it also keeps
them young at heart.
According to Amelia
Watts, extension home
economist, "members of
the Wedgewood Extension
Homemakers Club re
cently served as vol
unteers during a program
that tested kindergarten
children for glaucoma."
This was not a one
shot project. These same
homemakers lend a help
ing hand in the school's
first aid rooms, even
though they have to take
and pass a course in first
aid before they can serve.
MEN'S SUITS
Learning to make
men's knit suits is the
latest' project of Mrs.
Virginia- Buffkln, - a
skilled Columbus County
seamstress. .
The homemaker is
wise enough to select
washable findings for her
knit garments, adds Ann
Bobo, extension home
economist. Or, if she
can't find washable find
ings, she Invents her own.
For example, Mrs.
Ruff kin needed washable
shoulder pads so she
made- them from two
layers, of quilted fabric.
The home-made pads
added just the right
amount of shaping to the
garment and will, in the
long run, save the family
money. For now the knit
garment can be laun
dered, rather than dry
cleaned. '
MEXICO CITY ' v The
government announced it was
banning imports of pinball ma
chines and other "elec
tromechanlc games" because
they "do not contribute to the'
best use of citizens' leisure
time."

No matter where you go, even If it's for a dip In a swimming pool,
yoa can lake your camera with you.
Picture The Land Of The Turtles
large, clear .Vj x 4'i-inch snap
shots. The cameras go where
you go to get pictures you used
to miss.
Cayman is a reef-encircled
isle, and beneath its emerald
waters is a world of staghorn
coral, submarine caverns and
luminous angel fish. Its reefs are
dotted with the wreckage of a
hundred bullion ships. The wa
ter inside its coral barrier is al
ways calm, incredibly clear,
perfect for underwater photog
raphy. If you've never dived before",
you can learn at the island's new
Holiday Inn in a pool rigged
with underwater speakers. An
instructor will tell you exactly
what to do while you're down
under. The new Holiday Inn also
offers glass bottom boats, a
choice of outdoor water sports
and an unspoiled beach seven
miles long. You can learn more
about the inn by a call to your
local Holiday Inn.
With a watertight housing, you
can take your camera down un
der Cayman. You should: it's
another world.
Winter in the Caribbean? But
definitely. If it's quiet vou're uf-
lej and miles of radiant beaches.
you might stop at Grand Cay
man, a sun-urencneu isie an
hour's flight due south of Miami.
It s a picture paradise.
They call Grand Cavman "l he
undiscovered island."' but Co
lumbus found it in 1503 and
called it "Las Tortugas" for its
turtles. The island's name was
later changed, but the turtles
are still there on a turtle farm.
Where else? It's a natural stop
ping place on your island photo
tour.
From a patio fragrant with
bougainvillea. you can picture
the early surf as it splashes the
shore, or picture the spray-filled
air from one of Cayman's water
spouts. You can catch the tisher-
men at Spanish Bay as they haul
in their catch, or snap a sattron
sunset like no other.
To capture it all practically
with the snap of a shutter, there s
the new Kodak pocket Insta

Mfact," notes Mr,s,
Edith acGlamery, exten
sion House furnishings
specialist, North Caro
lina jjtate University,
"people who previously
had only the bathroom and
kitchen Wltlpapered are
choosing prints and
stripes tor the dining
room, bedrooms and
living room."
Newest On the wall
paper scene are hand
some , phohies that
simulate marble, stone,
leather, wood and fabric
but are far easier to care
for than their real
counterparts.
Many of these wall
papers come with pre
pasted backinga boon
for do-it-yourselfers.
Other types are strip
pable for those who
redecorate often, the
specialist says.
Fabric wallcoverings
look expensive and often
are, but their unique
textured appearance
makes the cost worth
while if they last a long
time. Make sure, there
fore, that the silk or linen
is impregnated withplas
tlc to make it washable,
and backed with more
fabric or paper to make
it durable.
Polyvinyl chloride is
the most scrubbable of
the vinyls, while plastic
coating over ordinary
wallpaper is the most
fragile. Since all vinyls
can be wiped with soap
or detergent and water,
a homeowner should con
sider where the covering
will be used to determine
the degree of durability
needed. 'SB'S
If a particular wail
paper pattern has .b$en
selected that is not wash
able, look into wallpaper
protective coatings, Mrs.
McGlamery advises.
These are applied with
a roller after the wall
paper is installed and
make the wallpaper
completely washable.
Check the effect on
a small sample of paper !
first, however, because
these coatings will
occasionally darken a
paper slightly, the
specialist cautions.
Self-adhesive plastic
panels and tiles are
available that simulate
brick, wood, stone or
mos aic patterns . These
can be cut with scissors
to fit the space. Mirror
squares, whether plain,
smokey or antiqued,
make a small area appear
larger. All these wall
coverings are decorative
and washable.

Seedling Soil Can Be
tDisinfected, in Oven
By M. E. Gardner
N. C. State University
A friend called, want
ing to know how to
"disinfect" soil to be
used for starting seed
inside for transplanting
later in the open. He
wanted to Dlant coleus
seed and told me that
the instructions on the
packet advised "dis
infecting" the soil.
Soil sterilization o
fumigationrP be a
better word than dis
infecting. Since we are
interested only in killing
the harmful organisms as
well as weed seeds and
soil insects, complete
sterilization is not nec
essary. Perhaps soil
pasteurization would be
a better term and a
method that can be con
veniently used around the
home where we have only
small quantities of soil
to treat.
While I was writing
this, my secretary came
by with the mail and
asked me "What are
you writing about this
time mud pies ?' This
would be a good subject
as we have had mud most
of the time since last
June. It is raining again
today, following five
inches of snow on Feb.
10. We have had it.
Now back to the soil
treatment. The soil may
be treated in bulk, pots,
or seed flats. Pre-heat
your oven to 160 degrees,
place the soil in the oven
and heat for 30 minutes
at 160 degrees. This is
a very simple method and
quite effective. This
treatment will also
prevent what we call
damping-off of young
seedlings. Damping-off
is -'sed. .by ,a fungus
and canWpfeUt1tn entire
crop of seedlings if
uncontrolled.
Now that you have
your soil pasteurized,
you will want to prepare
a growing medium for
your seed. One-third
peat moss, one-third
coarse (concrete) sand
and one-third soil, all by
volume. This makes an
excellent potting mixture
and will need no fer
tilizer for germinating
seed and growing the
seedlings to transplant
ing size.
If you need larger
amounts of soil for
potting, there is another
method of treating soil
which will accomplish the
same as the heat method.
For this you would use
formalin (formaldehyde).
Prepare a solution
using one part of formalin
to five parts of water
(one pint to five, one quart
to five, etc.). Two and
one-half tablespoorjs of
this solution should be
mixed with each bushel of
soil. This can be done
by spreading the soil on
a concrete floor and
mixing with a shovel. Or,
the soil may be placed
on a canvas, the solution
sprinkled on and then
have two people grasp
the tarp at four corners
and roll until well mixed.
In either case, place
the soil in an airtight
container for 24 hours.
The container could be a
garbage can with plastic
under the lid. After 24
hours, dump soil and stir
until all odor of the
formaldehyde is gone.
Store and use as needed.
