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.

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.
Nothing is good enough
for our cnecking account
customers. ^
Because we can give them a
checking account that asks
them to do just that.
Nothing.
No check sorting every
month. No service charges. No
having to cover a bounced
check. No need to remember a
loan or savings payment.
Because a Southern National
checking account can do it all.
Automatically.
You see, we try to think
up services that make our
customers happy.
And when it comes to
checking we give them nothing
and they love it.
So will you.
