Before you make a house hold move across town or across the country, you may want to decide whether or not to move your major appliances. General Electfic Company suggests that it needn’t be an all-or-nothing decision. Before you decide which 'appliance will make the move consider the following factors: 1. The older the appli ance, the less sense it makes to move it. In addition to the cost of moving it, you may have to pay the cost of replacing it soon, anyway. 2. The farther you move, the more it costs to move the appliance. 3. If some working part of the appliance must be bolted down, or if some other service is required before and after the move, these two service calls can significantly increase the total cost of moving the appliance. 4. You may make money by selling your old appli ance before you move, or by donating it to charity and taking a tax deduction. 5. Your old appliances may not be compatible with your new kitchen. For example, they may be the wrong color or the refrigera tor door may open on the wrong side. drag for a closer shave without irritation.- Although not currently demonstrating her expertise with a razor, Anna does manage to find time to practice all her other skills.

Understanding WHY DENTISTS USE GOLD Gold, the material long preferred for use in dental work, is enjoying a re surgence in popularity thanks to space-age tech nology plus modern dental and medical research.

According to the Dental Gold Institute, “Gold is unsurpassed as a restorative material for teeth injured by accident, trauma, dental caries or erosion.” Modern dentists prefer gold because of its resist ance to corrosion and be cause it is compatible with and adaptable to tooth structure. Did you know that gold has a greater malleability than any other metal? A single ounce of gold can be hammered into a sheet thin enough to cover 170 square feet. One grain can be drawn into a wire 680 feet long. Gold is still considered the best for dentistry. good condition.

Some things are dead give aways: mail collecting in the box, newspapers and circu lars piled high on the porch, an uncut lawn or un shoveled snow . . . even a light in one room of the house, left burning day and night. They all say: “Come burgle me.” Planning can lessen the chances of being burglarized or vandalized while you’re away. Of course, it’s a good idea to notify police of the dates you’ll be gone and to temporarily discontinue de livery of your mail. There is also a good way to fool the burglar with lights. To accomplish this, there are a variety of timer de vices on the market. One that’s unique is the new Night Sentry, a computer ized electronic timer, which can shed new light on se curity. It can be easily pro grammed so a light goes on and off at varying intervals, confusing the burglar into believing there’s a whole family of folks at home. There are two Night Sen try models. One is an easily installed unit that replaces standard wall switches, for controlling indoor or out door light fixtures. The table top plug-in model (shown here) controls lamps, and has an energy saving built-in dimmer. Both models can be used as stan dard “on-off” switches without disturbing the memory. Night Sentry, available at leading hard ware, department and chain stores, and home centers. Permits up to 48 “on-off” settings in a 24-hour period. They can really turn a bur glar off your home.
