But don't set your expectations too high. Some of these new things for which you pay Decorating your own Home can be lots of fun. It givesyou a chance to express your personality as well as give tihe home more individuality. . There is a new approach to decorat ing today that is indicative of ''the times. Gone is the slavish of copying of a period! People decorate their homes to suit the way they live and uie ouiuuwj -citey live in. Furniture from different ages and) periods are combined with the colors, fabrics and furniture of today to cre ate a style of decorating known as "contemporary."

CCUl Spring Clean up "Every farm needs a spring clean VP, not only to improve appearances but also to remove hazards which may cause Costly cuts, falls, or other in juries at any time throughout the :jar," suggests I. C. Yagel, farm agent in Perquimans County for the state college extension service. Disorder is responsible for hospita lizing one put of every five accident victims, according to a study conduct ed by the National Safety Council. The largest single cause of injuries, other than the personal factor of poor judgment, is disorder. For that rea on, the county agent says, "A p'ace for everything and everything in its vlace." is a good safety slogan. In cleaning up the home, remove accumulated papers and rubbish from .all parts of the house. See that medi cines, drugs, and insecticides are clearly labeled and kept out of .chil dren's reach. Provide suitable recep tacles for knives ancj other sharp k'tchen tools. Check through the farm shop. Jtfake sure that tools are in good re pair and in their right places. Re move accumulations of barbed wire, glass, scrap metals, and debris, and trash such as papers, scattered box 3 and boards which are fire hazards and ideal "hiding places for rats. .

When decorating a home, determine the type of decorating and furniture most pleasing to you. Don't be in any hurry to make a decision here. Not many of us can afford to redecorate often indeed, moat people use the same furniture for a lifetime.
