Much of the work can begin inside with such easily managed things as turning a door into a built-ibookcase, cutting down the legs of a dining room table to make a handy coffee table, removing an archway to make place for glass blocks or modernizing walls with plywood or plastic.

These are two important features which Its Important to try to achieve, even though you do only a small amount at a time.

Patching mere cracks may be done by yourself with many available preparations. in cases where there is a large piece out of the ceiling already, you may have to consult a professional plasterer who will have to cut out a section of the ceiling and then patch it. It may be necessary to give the whole ceiling a finishing coat of plaster. When side walls need renovating, you have a wide choice of in finished and unfinished varieties.

Every month census bureau enumerators visit about 25,000 households in the United States. They ask questions about the marital status and employment of members of these households. The employment census on which the bureau bases its estimate of the number of job holders and job hunters, is now rated more important that the population count. Employment information is valuable to the government and to private industry as an indicator of business conditions. Some householders resent the questioning as "prying into private affairs." A few others are scared by it in these days of agitation over Communists and charges of disloyalty. Census officials say people have nothing to fear from the interview-ers- . The information is strictly confidential. Names of individuals are not sent to Washington headquarters. The information is used only for compiling the number of employed and unemployed and other statistics. Not even the FBI or internal revenue colectors can obtain census information for investigation or tax collecting purposes. Federal law prohibits Us use except in statistics. Some people refuse to with enumerators or interviewers However, relatively few persist in refusing after the Interviewers have shown identification cards with their photographs and have explained why the information is being collected Care is taken to put the questions In simple words and in terms which big 1950 are well known in the community where the interviewed person lives The lnten lowers take short train ing courses are full, for mother as well as the youngsters. Since youngsters are up bright and early, eager to get out of the house to the fascinating work of play as quickly as possible, mother has to keep on her toes to see that they get a good breakfast. Children burn a lot of energy on days when they can play as they want, and they should be properly fortified with nutritious food. Good breakfasts are simple and easy to prepare. The meal should include at least these five essentials; fruit, cereal with milk, bread, butter and a beverage, which for youngsters should be milk or cocoa. You may add to these essentials bacon, eggs, ham, sausage, creamed chipped beef and such things, but at least you know that you'll be doing a good job with the five musts. Vary breakfast cereals to keep Interest at a high leveL A bowl of hot oatmeal, rich in proteins, thiamine, niacin and iron, can be just as tempting in warm weather as cool If topped with cold milk and some of the season's fresh and choice fruit.

First, however, plan, mull over and then replan what you want to do. Though you may start with smaller tasks, you should have an over-alunified plan in mind so the house, or that part of it youre redoing will give, finally, a harmonious appearance. Wipe Tired Look From Furniture One of the easiest ways to give a more pleasing appearance to rooms is to do a job on some furniture. This Is often economical because you yourself can do most of the work. Often old and discarded pieces can be reclaimed from the attic by this method at very little expense.
