Your kitchen has fallen under the,
critical eye of the efficiency expert.| He has found that modernizing a kitchen performs a double function. It adds materially to the appraisal value of a house, while at the same
time it makes for a bright-eyed, |
cheerful wife—even after she's prepared a big meal, The basic elements of planning an efficient kitchen are the same no matter how large or small it ma ay | be. These elements are the three | “centers” which every kitchen should | have: The storage and preservation | center; ing center, and the cooking and | serving center,
Of the different possible arrange- |
ments for which are
Kitchens, there are four! recommended. Thev are] the “U” shape, the “L,” the “Corridor” plan, and the “One Wall” kitchen. The “U” shape is considered the best of the standard arrangements, compact. In this plan, the storage center forms the arm of the nearest the service entrance: the; cooking and serving center takes the arm adjoining the dining room! door, while the preparation and| cleaning center form the base of the letter. The “L” plan is next in preference!
{ because of the space it provides for
breakfast alcove or work center. In| this arrangement the preparation] and cleaning center is at the elbow, ! and the other two are at their proper doors.
Now's the Time |
To Repair Homes
IT'S TIME the repairs and improvements that the old homestead needs. Changes can be easily paid for in small monthly payments under the home modernization plan of the FHA Starting at the top of the house, check the roof. Worn, split, curled, warped shingles are signs of coming stains on the ceiling. Don't buy buckets; buy a new roof. And this time, make it a fire-resistant ohe. Take a good look, then, at the house windows. Loose putty, bare paint, broken sash cords are the disease germs that destroy more windows than time and use combined. Extend the physical check-up to these, too: Screens, awnings, basement stairs, electrical outlets, plumbing, heating plant, chimney, porch posts and railing, fences.
