Is homemaking a challenge ii
our modern age? Or are there stil
those untrained homemakers b:

ment "that man's work is Iron

is never done".
A very few of these would
change jobs with the career giri
who must conform to tin rigid
schedule m the business world
In order to operate a home eco

homemaker too, must have in
mind a schedule and a budget

that will allow a fair salary, time

to be revised Probably the ad

aiways on duty and willing t(

list and decide whether you arc
the economical type.
1 1 Do you have proper lighting
I to protect the precious eyesight
of your family, but see that all
lights arc turned out when not in
use? Homembcr bulbs also cost
money.
1 2 Select tile proper size bulb
for the lamp. Quite often a large'
. bulb will give more light than
two small bulbs and cost less to
operate.
2. Keep light bulbs clean and"
replace blackened ones as they
rob you ot light that you pay for
•1 Use shades with a light lining,
as they give a greater spread of
bright light.
5. Have ample light for work
areas in kitchen, and avoid the
use of bare bulbs as they create
an uncomfortable glare,
6. Avoid the use of flame-tinted
bulbs except for decorative pur
pose The first duty of light is to.

protect the eves and secondly tn
beautify.
7. Do not overload the refrig
eration. Remove foods that will

parts of fruits and vegetables in
refrigerator. If they lose food
value, wrap in vapor-moisture
proof paper.
11. Opening the door of refriger
ator frequently causes it to use
more current.
9. Small equipment such as
radio and sewing machine take
very little current to operate.
10. Be sure that appliances and
wiring in houses are always re
paired when needed.
11. When installing a hot water
heater, consider the capacity in:
relation to your family needs. For
future buying, the new autoTTiatic)

Use 1/2 to 1 inch of water in con
tainer unless cooking dehvdr<,u>d
or dried foods. This is done for
several reasons: save water solu
ble vitamins, save current, save
time, and utensils. Do complete
meals in economy well, oven,
skillet and broiler unit. Use your
broiler unit for toast rather than
preheat oven.
