Take It Easy—
a
‘The Some: Way’ Can. Continue
By JOHN PETER Summer’s definitely over.
The children are back in school. Dad's back on his 40-hour-a-week job. And Mother is back to housework—an estimated 65 hours a week of it. You take a look around the house and wonder if there isn't some easier way, There is: The Summer Way.
” ~ * ¢ SUMMER is not just a sea-
son, it's a state of mind. In the summer we let down the bars of
Here is expert advice on the change in your living arrangements as autumn leaves summer behind and ushers in the winter season. This is the first of six articles by John Peter, home living counselor and designer. He Is editor of the home livIng departments of several well-known magazines. The suggestions are adaptable to all types of “homes, whether bungalow, suburban mansion, apartment or farmhouse. The series will appear exclusively in The Sunday Times.
so-called “proper” living. We wear casual clothes, eat informally and relax in simple furniture.
We live more comfortably and sensibly than in all the rest

the brown leaves begin to fall, we re-es-tablish the impossible standards of an English manor house and look upon our easier summer ways as slightly wicked. Perhaps it's not all our fault. Maybe it's our background. When ‘Ameéricans became prosperous colonists, in the Eighteenth century it was natural they should look to their

the ideal in fine living. As our country grew, the ideal remained.
Only on the farms and frontiers of the West, was it ignored. There the hard life made the direct and easiest way the best way. Summer, in a sense, is like the frontier. We ‘rough it’ or at least we live more naturally. The emergence of America as a major world power has given us greater confidence in our own natural way of doing things.
IF THE first thing you throw out, when you house clean this fall are those antique ideals, you may never have fall cleaning to do again. Home cleaning experts say those periodic pileups of work known as fall and spring cleaning need never happen. * That is easier said than done. But let's take a look around your house again. There are three Ways to make housecleaning easier. ONE: Prevent dirt from entering the house. TWO: Have furnishings that clean easily. THREE: Use the right cleaning equipment and techniques. How do you and your house score on these three? You can't keep all the dirt out of the house, but you'd be surprised how you can cut it down, Keep the outside walks in repair and you'll have less dirt tracked in the house. Remember it's a lot easier to sweep the dirt off the porch than out of the house. Replace that worn door mat with a fresh one If you get a draft under your front door, you'll get dirt, too; Good weather stripping will not

in modern airconditioned office buildings the windows can’t be opened. ’ Home air conditioning units filter out dirt and cut down on what work to do,” says M. E. Mundell, of Purdue University, cleaning. With or without one, “check your windows for a tight weather seal. Halls and basements should be your “dirt--traps.” Racks and closefs there take muddy boots and dirty clothes before they get into the house proper. = Hy .

get In, if your furnishings reject dirt rather than hold it. The new wallpapers have plasdic surfaces. New rubberized Paivis a scrubbable finish. . A shake or two will get mosf of the dust out of the new nylon drapes and the new plastic furniture fabrics eliminate slip covers. Built-in furniture does away with a lot of those hard-to-get-at places in back and underneath, where dirt accumulates. Simple light-weight furniture is easier to clean than heavy pieces with ornate carving to hold the dirt. Keep the things you need or enjoy but be hard on dirtcatchers—or they will be hard on you. : Studies made by efficiency experts in industry can be applied to household tasks. They reveal an astounding amount of time and motion wasted. = ® ”
A GOOD DEAL of it is from lack of planning. Careful planning of your housework will make you live longer than borsch and blackstrap molasses.
