“All the comforts of home" is a phrase that covers more ground than it used to. The Newschart based on data from the National Industrial Conference Board and the 1950 Census, shows facilities in the past ten years. Last year's census shows almost every home with electric lights and radios, four out of five homes have mechanical refrigeration, and three out of four have bathing and toilet facilities in the house. All showed big improvements over 1950. Noteworthy, too, is the fact that homeowners now exceed renters for the first. time since the census begaw taking such information in 1890

Summer is a good time for homeowners to start their annual battle against winds and the unhealthy,. uncomfortable drafts! they create in a home. Best way to combat drafts now is to make a thoroughs tour of your home, checking doors and windows for broken panes or for spots where settling the house or cracked putty may ‘permit entry of unwelcome winter Winds in a few months. / A. broken or cracked window pane will not only detract from the beauty of the home, but it can make a’ sizable difference in your fuel costs. Fasy to Replace Pane Replacing —a —broken—window pane is an easy job. After carefully removing pieces of broken glass, use a small chisel or heavy

screwdriver to remove all particles of old putty. Pull out the glazier’s points with pliers, or, if

the sash is metal, remove glazier's clips or unscrew the metal beading or glazier's strips, Fo make the new putty adhere to the sash and not become dry or crumbly, paint wood sash with linseed oil or light paint.
