FIX Safety glazing materials snould be used in hazardous locations in preference to ordinary glass. Such locations include storm doors, sliding glass doors, tub and shower enclosures, glass entrance doors or any glass panel adjacent to them. Safety glazing materials include tempered glass but tempered glass must be manufactured to size, ruling out its use for who wish to cut it in a variety of sizes. Plexiglas acrylic sheet materia! fills the requirements and is material that can be purchased generally and which the amateur can fabricate into custom sizes. This is a clear material in sheet form that is far sturdier than glass. E v e n if it should break it does not shatter into flying small pieces e but breaks into large chunks. Because it does not shatter or crack the way glass does it is even better than glass for the to handle both easier and safer. Most of us, when we window have to install ameasurepane, take the ments to a hardware dealer who cuts the glass to size. Plexiglass is available in a variety of thicknesses but figure on using the l10th-inc- h thickness for ordinary replacement of window glass thickness for reand placement of storm door sash without framing.

Meat and Dairy Separate There is one kitchen for dairy products and one for meat, each with its own dishes, dishwashers, cooks, waiters and even tablecloths. Dairy dishes are served in one dining room, meat in another, A guest eating a steak cannot have butter on his potato, for instance. "A religiouf Jew wouldn't trust the bigger hotels because maybe the waiter would get the marriage, meat and dairy dishes mixed a sign of up," Knoll said. "Neither would the big hotels allow the hotels in traditional singing at meals on to observe the sabbath." So good is business, despite the extra costs of maintaining a kosher inn, that Knoll plans to build two more in Jerusalem, cne in Eilat, one in Haifa and perhaps one in Romania on the Black Sea. "The demand is terrific," he said, adding that most of the guests are American Jews who want to observe the religious laws in Israel even if some of them don't do so at home.
