Homemakers Can do Anything , Cleaning Expert Says By RUTH MALAN Review correspondent Women of the KAYSVILLE Davis County area learned to clean house in record time Saturday from Don Aslett author of the book Is there Life After Housework Aslett entertained more than 300 seminar at people at a three-hou- r the Crestwood chapel in Kaysville. Aslett comes from Idaho where he r V worked his way through college by cleaning homes. The secret of keeping a home clean is to get rid of junk, Aslett said. He further explained that the first principle of housework is not to have to do it. , Housewives can cut down on dust and vacuum bags simply by using mats at the doors since 80 percent of the dust in the home comes from foot traffic, Aslette said. Thirty mi Heating Alternatives For Homes Is Topic Of Farmington Workshop How to heat your home and keep it heated will be the focus at the Utah State University Energy Edu-catio- n Consumer Update Workshops. Workshops are scheduled for in Sept. 26 in Logan and Oct. FARMINGTON. One of the guest speakers will be Dave Watterson, a representative from Fireking wood stoves, who says the biggest mistake most people make is buying a stove that is too big for their home. When the stove is too big, they have to damper down the heat to keep from getting too hot in the rooms closest to the stove. This causes the stove to deposit more creosote in the chimney, creating a fire hazard, Watterson says. He says there are so many variables affecting how well a stove will heat your home that it is impossible to recommend one particular stove for everyone. One of the things you can look for, though, is the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) listing on the stove. It will tell you the recommended square footage the stove can heat.

Wax heavilly in areas of heavy traffic to reduce maintenance time and wear to your floor, Aslett warned. w Every profession has its status symbol. Attorneys have legal size paper, airline pilots their uniforms, and Don Aslett his toilet shaped suitcase. The women of the area should find more time for themselves if they follow Asletts advice. Remember Aslett imspires, if you can be a homemaker-yocan be anything. Armed with a johney mop, a trigger sray bottle filled with a disinfectant cleaner, and a sponge, the housewife can tackle any bathroom, he said. By using the the johney mop to toilet, the water will drain, and the toilet is cleaned easier without diluting the cleaning agent. Aslett advises use of a squeegee in the shower to keep the tile clean. g glug-glu- u 'I tion against wood stove problems is dealing with a reputable dealer who doesnt make outlandish claims about his product. There is no stove made that can completely evenly heat your home, nor are there any stoves that operate at 90 percent efficiency. The best stoves heat at about 75 percent efficiency and keep rooms within about five degrees of each other, Watterson says. She says installation is also an important factor to consider because of potential fire hazards. Some insurance companies are beginning to charge higher rates for homes when the stoves are not professionally installed.

Music Affects Us All, Says Cultural Director Music surrounds almost everything we do, yet most people do not realize the effect that it can have on the mind and body, says Daniel Martino, Weber State College director of cultural affairs. He said music is at work and' in the home. It is in the store, at restaurants and in movies. Music is in the background of most every aspect of life, but according to Daniel Martino, its effect is more significant than just as background music. - Martino said, Music has an un 1 canny power over feelings. Its an emotional power. Martino said that music can affect a persons mood, and has the power to change that mood. The quickest way to get over sadness is to listen to sad music, he said. To listen to happy music just aggravates you even more. Martino has taught the psychology of music for over ten years and explained that music acts as a catharsis, which helps release inner emotions. 5 Piece Tufted Sectional "Pit" rkltjy upholstered 5 pc. tec fretd new ep proecb.
