Make Plans When Remodeling Remodeling without careful planning can be expensive, in convenient and disheartening. It costs nothing to plan and re plan, and only by careful plan ning will you be able to have just the type of home you want, says Pauline E. Gordon, State I College Extension specialist in ; housing and house furnishings. Remodeling or building is too expensive not to warrant detail ed planning of what your family wants. And according to Miss 1 Gordon, family planning is im : portant since the kind of home in ? which you live helps to develop | the personality of all persons liv i ing within it. Long-time planning will save you both money and inconveni ence. Plan work on your home that can be done over a period of years and then do some work each year as you have the money to pay (or it, suggests Miss Gor don. All of your family will en joy contributing some labor to cut costs further. If you're planning more stor age space. Miss Gordon advises you to consider wall to-wall stor age. List the articles to be stored in tHe space allotted, then plan shelf and drawer areas to ac comodate them. It's easier to keep house when there is a place to put all the things needed by the family. According to Miss Gordon, the most convenient height to reach is from the tip of the fingers to the top of the shoulders. Store articles used most often in this area. Those used less frequently can be placed lower or higher. General News Brevities Diamond sales have dropped 10 per cent so far this year. U. S. allots $8,000,000 in econo mic aid to Jordan.

Ways To Improve Garden Soils By ROBERT SCHMIDT While we arc between crops, in a sonne. we should bo thinking of ways to improve our garden soils. Much needed organic matter may be added through the uae of liable manurei or summer and fall green crop* to be turned un der. These material* will make heavy *oil? easier to work and will give sandy toil* a better yater-holding capacity and along with that, there i* the added fer tility. But what I wish to talk about i* soil acidity and the u*e of lime. Many gardener* do not under stand th4 proper uae of lime be cause they do not know the needs of the individual crop*. Alio, they do not know how acid their *oil is. It it foolish to add lime to soil it you do not know that it needs lime or that the crop* to be grown require more lime. Lime reduce* soil acidity. Most vegetable crop* will thrive in slightly acid (ph ? to 8 7) *oili but there are a number of them that will not thrive at all in very acid (ph 4.S to 8.0) *oils ? these are asparagus, spinach, onions, celery, lettuce, beets, muskmelons, cauli 1 lower,, broccoli, parsnips, okrn and salsify. Crops such as beans, cucumbers, watermelon*, corn, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes and tomatoe* are quite tolerant of very *cid soils ? in fact, it is des irable for watermelons. It is also desirable to grow Irish potatoes on quite acid soils in order to prevent the development of pota to scab, a serious disease uAiich is made worse by liming the soil. The soil testing laboratory of the N. C. Department of Agricul ture, Raleigh, will test your soil free of. charge and tell you how much lime to use. That leaves no excuse for not knowing the cor rect acidity -of your soil. Take samples by slicing the soil with a spade or trowp) to a depth of four to six inches. This will give you soil from the top as well as lower down. Thoroughly mix and send about one pint to the labora-> tory. If your garden i* large take samples from more than one loca tion. It is possible that your coun ty agent has equipment for mak ing simple soil tests. A NEW STANDARD Rutus ? They say that radium 6}*?lways giving off parts of it self and yet it never gets any less. Goofus ? Is that so? That's the sort of stuff they ought to make money of. Household Hints For Homemakers ? Every lummer, after the heat has act in, mort of ua begin think ing up waya to do houae work and stay cool in the process. Short of an air conditioned houae, this I takes some thought. If it is possible, have your main meal In the evening, after the house has cooled off several de grees. Choose dishes that require little or no cooking. They will be cooler to eat, as well as cooler to prepare. The early morning hours are usually comfortable. Do all the cooking you can during this time. Prepare dishes that can be re heated is the evening. When you are entertaining, try fixing steaka, fish or whatever you choose over charcoal in the yard. Outdoor cooking U becom ing more and more popular in the United States. It if a delightful f/ ay to have guetU to dinner, and a cool way, all in one. There are many kinds of out door cookers on the market. Some are very expensive, some moder ately priced and others very in expensive. Also there are numer ous recipe books giving direction* for outdoor cooking of almost anything under the sun. If you have to do your own house' cleaning and ironing, try to clean early in the morning and iron at night. This will be a hot job whenever you do it, so the best policy is to keep a "stiff upper lip " Have cool, loose fitting clothes to work around the house in. These can be made to look at tractive and be comfortable as well. This is a basic rule of keep ing cool. World's greatest Ilne-ub of truck power! CMfUa/fa/ fbve*Dotr*V6t You (it more power!
