Here are two of the outstanding entries In the Door decora
tions contest sponsored by the Beulaville Garden Club. Left,
Is tbe door of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Cottle and right. Is the door
of Mrs. Hallie Guy, Beulaville Correspondent.
Mrs. Cottle dressed her door for the holiday season
with two white boots containing arrangements of poinsettas
and various types of greenery. To the left of her door,
she has a small bench. On this bench is an antique urn
containing an arrangement of holly and greenery. To the
left of the urn, is three bright, red apples and a set of praying
hands. (Photo by James Campbell.)

Mrs. Guy's door is dressed in white with lavender ribbon
outlining the white background and a large wreath in the center.
At the bottom of her door, she has place a large Bible, op
ened to Luke?the Christmas Story.
The winners of the decorations contest will be announced
at a later date, said a spokesman for the Garden Club. The
Garden Club would like to thank those participating in the
contest. (Photo fay James Campbell.)
Christmas presents are a
great way to share the holiday
joy, but loose wrappings and pa
per can become a real fire
hazard, warns Liberty Mutual
Insurance Companies. Christ
mas-morning confusion can
have the house in an uproar
and a lighted match or cigar
ette that is carelessly dropped
in the wrappings can have the
house in flames. If you are
a momento collector, store
these "goodies" inasafeplace.
Everyone knows that driv
ing and drinking donft mix, but
It is especially important to
keep this in mind during the
holiday season, warns Liberty
Mutual Insurance Companies.
If you plan to drink alcohol
at a Christmas or New Year's
gathering, don't plan to drive.
Let a non-drinker take the wh
eel or arrange to take a taxi
home. The fare could be well
worth it.

found that maintenance prob

coats liy be traced to
">?nn> pinching by the build- 1
er during initial stages of plan- B

On the other hand. Stevens 8
believes that "intelligent pur- fl
Chasing of tiualit] products 1
pays all in the long run for 1
apartment owners." It reduces fl
improving apartment appeal 1
and liveability ? keeps tenant S
torn over to a minimum.
Stevens' ideas qualify him as fl
a friend to landlord and tenant fl
alike. He's antl materials and
equipment that look cheap, op- fl
erate poorly and require con- fl
stant and costly upkeep. He's fl
pro products that cost a little
more, but look good, wear well
and need minimal maintenance, fl
FOr example:
Door* with w?.?wi??l such fl
as wood panel entries, add 8
"character" to apartments. For {
tenants, these features provide E
a touch of the warmth and fl
charm of single-family homes.
For owners, availability of
quality units, such as ponde- 8
rosa pine panel doors in stock a
stses and a variety of styles, 1
makes elegant exterior and in
terior doors a practical choice. 8
The doors are factory-treated fl
with a chemical preservative to
guard against wear and weath
er abuse.
Public hallways that are 8
plastered or painted need con- fl
stant repair. Masonry or shoul- fl
der-hlgh paneling are prefer
able. Prefinished hardboard fl
wall panels, for example, need fl
no painting, are highly resist- !
ant to dents, mars and scuffs, C
and can be damp-wiped clean, fl
Flooring?especially in public C
areas?should be able to with- fl
stand hard use. Where carpet- fl
ing is used th individual apart
-and be a aeutrapeolos* ? I
Kitchens should be bright. 1
well-ventilated, with good cab- 8
' inet and countartop apace. 8
? Two-door refrigerator-freeaen fl
should be standard for moder- fl
ately-priced apartments; frost- J
free units for luxury rentals. E
Dishwashers should work well fl
with a minimal amount at ]
water.
Bathrooms should have at- fi
tractive, easy-clean the. qual- j
ity fixtures, and?where feasible fl
?glamor features sudh as dou- I
Me lavatories and glass-en- I
closed tubs.
Light fixtures are high on C
the "penny pinching" list. But fl
Stevens warns that cheap fl
switches don't last, unattractive 1
fixtures set a "low-tone" for G
the whole building, and lnsuf- fl
Orient wattage makes security- fl
conscious tenants uncomfort- ]
able.
Hardware is one of the most w
economical methods of "deco- 8
rating". Yet says Stevens, fl
builders are "notorious for I
skimping here." Attractive 1
doorknobs, cabinet pulls, latch- fl
es and hinges cost only a little fl
more but add "quality touches" )
I to even moderately - priced I
apartments.
