FX-IT measures have taken a turn for the better. A handy rid, the com-

pression - tacker stapling machine, will solve a multitude of this type quandary. Made by Swingline, the household aid operates in trigger fashion. A squeeze and a staple snaps into place, Besides lightening the chore of mending rips and tears in window screens, the tacker-stapler is invaluable for full-scale projects such as screening-in a porch or insect:proofing a summer cabin

It also will do a tidy refurbishing job. Mr. Average Man, whose wife enlists his aid In a redecorating project, will find it especially helpful.

IT WILL HELP recover the worn or faded seat of a dining room chair, for example, Or freshen up a simple upholstered piece by stretching on new material and stapling it into place.

It the color scheme of a room lacks co-ordination, add a touch of clstom look harmony by

fabric correlated to your newlyupholstered chair,

To cover, simply pull the material taut and staple the edges securely to the back of the valance board. Secure the material at short, regular intervals to insure even tension. With the handy, one-hand compression tacker, it's easy tc keep wrinkles smoothed out with your left hand while fastening the fabric Into place with your right.

A similar technique can be used in recovering scarred table and desk tops with leather or leatheret; redoing an unsightly headboard with quilted chintz or another fabric attuned to your decor, or sheathing an old wastebasket with colorful plastie. » . ” HOW TO LIGHTEN a win--ter-weary room? A decorative screen will do the trick. To a light wooden frame—constructed at home, rescued from the attic or bought brand-new— try stapling one of the new textured fabrics or woven fiber

NEW YORK, May 6— These are great days for lady stockholders. They are days chock full of annual gorporation meetings. And the ladies who hold stock are attending in quantity—and quality, too. And they ask questions. They tell the managements how to run the business; how to handle public relations; how to handle: labor negotiations— in fact, everything from A to Z. Some do this telling in a nice way. Some know their parliamentary law and they tell the management who's going to say what and when and how.

THE UNITED STATES Steel Corp. held its stockholders annual meeting at Hoboken, N. J, More than half of the more than 70Q present were women. More than 85% per cent of the oratory came from women.

‘Students’ At Forum

ORL; than 140 women “went to school today. The genial teacher who helped them solve the prob-

lem, “Life Insurance,’ was Donald F, Barnes, New York, Institute of Life Insurance. They took notes on pads with pencils, both provided by the class sponsor, American National Bank, and asked umteen questions in the red rose bouquet decorated room in Butler University’s Atherton Cent ter when they gathered despite soaring temperatures. Both father and life iInsurance have changed in the past 20 years, Bowdoin College-grad-uated Mr. Barnes began. ‘“‘Marriage has a ‘new partnership look.” Father doesn’t think the family better off if mother knows little about finances. And insurance, a gap-filler in family protection, now covers the gamut of family situations, It is flexible and should be changed from time to time as the family responsibilities and needs alter. o - a “LIFE INSURANCE is the only method yet devised whereby a great number of families can spread over the .group riské that each one faces but is too great for'any one family to face alone.” Four out of five families own an average of eight policies, he stated, It is used most among families of moderate income. 5 n 2 HERE IS Mr. Barnes’ checklist for an insurance plan: ONE-—Determine the family goal, then you'll know where you want to go, TWO—What's in your life insurance program? THREE — Does business Insurance enter into your family safeguards? This, he explained, keeps a woman from stepping unprepared into her husband's swivel chair after his death. FOUR-—What retirement values has your life insurance? FIVE — Is group insurance part of a husband's assets? SIX — Does anyone in the family have government or pension insurance? . SEVEN-—Are you or anyone in your family eligible for social ‘security? EIGHT-—Are your other assets dove-tailed with life insurance? NINE—Are you keeping your life insurance program up-to-date? : ‘ TEN — Do you know about possible settlement arrangements? ~ » ” “I FEEL,” Mr. Barnes said frankly, “the insurance agent is as important as the com-

pany with which you deal. Let

him explain policies in terms you understand. Today's agent is more likely to sell a program of living. And a plan should provide protection and living values for your life ahead.” Ideally, a lawyer, accountant, trust officer and insurance agent should arrange the family financial program. He urged women to remember life insurance is flexible. “More money (57 per cent) was paid to living policy holders last year than to beneficiaries. Of the latter 75 per cent were women.” . James 8S. Rogan, American National Bank president, greeted the “coeds.” John Zuben trust officer for the bank, presided. Second speaker in the Women's Finance Forum at 2 p.m.
