—THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, NOV. 20, 1971 | 2B Inventory of Personal Items Is Recommended RALEIGH—Do you know what your personal posses sions are worth? The average person doesn't know, even within several hundred dollars, what the furnishings In his house are worth, says Mrs. Justine Rozier, extension home management spe cialist, North Carolina State University. These possessions are bought a piece at ja time, usually—a chair now, a sofa then, a lamp sometime later. The only way you can get an accurate idea of the worth of your household things is to make a list of them, the specialist points out. Knowing the true facts about your financial stand ing can be a satisfying assurance of future security, Mrs. Rozier adds. Families usually have a hard time remembering all their possessions If their house is destroyed by fire, wind damage or other disasters. Here are some sugges tions from Mrs. Rozler for evaluating your home possessions: Finding 'Dream House' May Mean Remodeling RALEIGH For the family who wants to "put up with it," remodeling may be the answer to finding that dream house. After all, many older houses have special assets, including good exterior proportions, large rooms that respond well to re shaping, structural sound ness sometimes unmatched in new construction, and an established building site in a preferred area. But there are some things you'll do well to keep in mind, before you decide to remodel, points out Woodley C. Warrick, ex tension housing specialist. North CArolina State Uni versitjr|P m7|.

It will help you plan and It will give you protection. It can help you plan by telling your net worth, or by helping you plan replace ments ahead of time. It will also help you decide how much household Insur ance you need. It Is wise to keep a record of date of purchase, name of dealer and cost of each item. This Inventory will protect you by making it easier to prepare a claim for loss. You'll have an exact list of what was lost. It will also assure you that you are neither under- or over insuring your personal property. "Be sure to keep your Inventory in a safe place," Mrs. Rozier advises. "You should keep it outside the house so it will not be de stroyed if a loss accurs." Keeping two copies In different places Is a good Idea. And don't forget to keep the Inventory up-to date as you buy new items. to any other houses or buildings? Is the cost of the house in keeping with the cost of other houses in the neighborhood? This could affect resale value. Is a new heating system needed? Is more insulation necessary? How about the electrical system? Is the water supply satisfactory? Is the sewage disposil adequate to meet any code requirements ? Obtain cost estimates for all anticipated changes, the specialist advises. Then make the decisions: can the family stand the financial burden of re modeling, as well as the frustrations that must be lived with during remodel ing? There are no exact figures for the amount to invest in remodeling, but generally, the maximum should not exceed one-half that required for a new house that would meet the family's needs. More expenditures may be justified if the house was built by parents or grand parents, or has historical or sentimental value.

Fiber Family Members Have Similar Traits RALElGH—Shopping for clothing or fabrics could be more complicated than it already is. There are over 700 trade names for man ufacturered fibers. Fortunately, these trade names belong to one of 22 generic or "family" groups. Among the families, adds Harriet Tutterow, extension clothing specialist, Ndrlh Carolina State University, are polyesters, acrylics, nylons, rayons and silks. Each family group covers a class of fibers that differs greatly from those in other groups. They, differ in chemical composition as well as physical properties such as strength, resilience, soft ness, absorbency, and re sistance to sunlight. This labeling, by generic or family name, makes it easier for you to know what you are buying and what you can expect from your pur chase, the specialist says. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that textiles be labeled as to percentage by weight of fiber content and that the generic or family name be Included with the tradename. vMiiSotv^* LAVNDIIIII * CLIANIII PIMM Mt-Stt* REFRIGERATED FUR STORAGE AND BOX STORAGE .
