From The Home Agent's Desk By Ellen Willis & Brenda Canadv Simplify Kitchen Cleanup Eating is essential! And so is cleanup after each meal. Most homemakers, and weekend chefs too, enjoy the creativity of cooking, but not the time spent scrubbing pots and pans and putting away or finding places to store all the cooking gear. Cleaning up can be creative, too! The key is organization. First, take a long look at work and storage centers. Try to arrange them so that kitchen activities can be accomplished with minimum steps and time. There should be enough counter area for preparing foods as well as space to set aside soiled dishes and flatware during a meal and before they go into the sink or dishwasher. Group items used together in one location fot convenient storage. For example, have detergent or soap, cleanser, scouring pads, sponges and dishcloths near the sink. Food keepers like foil, plastic wrap, wax paper and containers should be close to the refrigerator, sink or wherever the final decision is made on storing foods. Baking equipment such as pastry forks, measuring cups, spatulas and muffin pans should have a place of their own as well as the ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, nuts and flavoring. Perhaps the addition of kitchen aids would be helpful. Housewares departments offer a variety of utensils and storage aids including dishracks and stackers, turntables, leaning caddies and drainboards, sink mats and scrap holders for more efficient hand dishwashing. Consider extra shelves or racks to make supplies easier to reach and speed up putting dishes and cookware away. Even a row of hooks over a sink or range helps hold "valuables" like potholders, cooking utensils, even saucepans." Where floor space is available, another cabinet would increase storage space. There are different types of cleaning products - detergents, soaps and specialty items available as well as sponges, brushes and scrubbers. Experiment and choose products that offer the most convenience and work best with local water conditions and kitchen equipment. Whether new to kitchen keeping or a veteran, a willingness to try different methods can make cleanup less tedious. Besides, it's interesting to rearrange, update and try a new approach from time to time. Taxpayers Ask IRS Q. 1 use my automobile for business travel. I would like information on the standard mileage rate for automobile expenses. A. When determining deductible auto expenses resulting from business use, you have the option of claiming a deduction for the entire cost of the automobile's operation including depreciation, or the standard mfleage rate. The standard mileage rate is 15 cents a mile for tire first 15,000 miles of business use and ten cents for each succeeding mile of business use each year. Parking fees and tolls incurred during business use are decuctible in addition to tire standard mileage rate. To use the standard mileage rate, you must, own the car; not use the car for hire (such as a taxicab); not operate a fleet of cars, using more than one car simultaneously; use only tire straight line method of depreciation and not claim additional first year depreciation on the car. If your alternate vehicles for business purposes, you may claim the standard mileage rate on each car, if all qualify. However, you must first combine the business mileage from the cars and then apply the standard mileage rate to the total business. Take stock in America. Buy U.S. Savings Bonds. Big Outlay In County For Home Improvements NEW YORK, Aug. 9 -? Homeowners in Hoke County are spending a record amount these days on the maintenance and improvement of their properties. Because economic conditions have put new homes out of the reach ofmost families, the trend has been to do the next best thing-put more money into sprucing up their present dwellings. In the past year alone, their outlay for alterations, additions, repairs and replacements came to an estimated $1,413,000, the figures indicate. The estimate is based upon a sampling survey of dwellings in all sections of the country, conducted by the Department of Commerci, and upon data from other sources. The figures show that the average expenditure for residential improvements in Hoke County's regional area came to about S338 per housing unit, as against $297 the year before. Elsewhere in the United States it was $403 per unit. Those were the averages. In individual cases, the outlay ranged considerably above and below that amount. The reason is that most homeowners go in for major improvements and repairs in one year and then may do little or nothing along that line for a year or two thereafter. Nationally, the Commerce Department reports, a record $21.1 billion went for home improvements in 1974. That was 14 percent more than in the previous year. Over $12.6 billion of it was spent for construction improvements, such as alterations, replacements and additions. The other $8.5 billion was for maintenance and general repairs, with nearly half of it going for painting decorating. The rest went for plumbing, roofing, heating and air conditioning equipment and miscellaneous. Of the $1,413,000 that was spent in Hoke County in the year, about $848,000 was for alterations and additions and approximately $565,000 for repairs and maintenance, it is estimated, based upon the overall breakdown. Many of these jobs are being tackled by the homeowners themselves. They are aided by the current availability of ready-to-install units and equipment.
