Guidelines To Follow After Having Accident
By JOAN GOSPER
NCSU Agricultural
Communications
If your car was involved in an
accident, damaged by fire, flood
or vandalism or stolen, would
you know what to do?
Dr. Thelma Hinson, extension
family resource management
specialist, North Carolina State
University, offers the following
guidelines:
Phone the insurance agent or
local company representative as
soon as possible, even if the acci-
dent is far from home or wasn’t
your fault. Some large insurance
companies list local claims per-
sonnel in the telephone yellow
pages.
The agent or company
representative will tell you what
to do and let you know what
forms or documents will be need-
ed to support a claim. A com-
pany may require a “proof of
loss” form as well as documents
like medical and auto repair bills
and a copy of the police report.
Let the insurance company
know if you receive any legal
papers regarding the loss. In-
surance companies will represent
their policyholders if claims are
brought against them and also
will defend them if they are sued.
Smart Purchase
When you have some money
to spend on furniture, a versatile
occasional piece may be a good
selection, says Dr. Wilma Ham-
mett, extension interior design
specialist, North Carolina State
University.
Fill in a blank spot with a
secretary, a small chest or a sofa
table. These pieces can go from
room to room as needs change,
the extension specialist says.
Look for multipurpose fur-
niture. That sofa bed can pro-
vide extra sleeping space when
needed, and modular shelves
with a desk area can be used in

Small scale furniture is also more

Few couples today move
directly from Mom’s and Dad’s
when they marry. Most have
been out on their own and ac-
cumulated an assortment of
home furnishings.
Marriage means they must try
to blend all of their belongings. It
is the time to decide upon a style
or look that suits you as a cou-
ple, says Dr. Wilma Hammett,
extension interior design
specialist, North Carolina State
University.
Don’t try to copy the
decorating magazines or follow
the latest color crazes. Decide
whether country, traditional or
contemporary is your style.
Then evaluate what you have,
what you need and what you
want. Make a list for each room,
and figure out how much money
. can be allotted to home
decorating. Set up short-term
and long-term goals.
Some people prefer to do a lit-
tle each year all over the house.
Others concentrate on one area.
Whatever you choose, here are
some economical decorating op-
tions.
Reupholstering is one of the
most economical means of up-
dating and blending your fur-
nishings. Style can also be chang-
ed. For example, you may wish
to switch from regular cushions
to loose pillows when you have a
sofa reupholstered.
Mixing old with new furniture
can create a look totally your
own. Formal old styles and for-
mal new styles blend for an
elegant look. And the now-
popular country styles mix well
with traditional or contem-
porary.
