Gilbreth) Leaves of a new calendar open before us, and housewives, seeking a good way to start the new year it brings, may well borrow a page from the business world and take inventory of needed renovations and repairs in the home. Give the house the repairs it needs now and give employment to those who need it. "Spruce up the home,** was one >f Colonel Woods' first messages as head of the President's Committee on Employment, and it coincides very well with the New Year spirit of budgets and inventories. There never was a tmore favorable time to take an inventory of renovations the home needs, "vyith plenty of labor available and supplies and equipment at prices advantageous to the buyer. Whether* or not you are in the habit of making budgets, start this year with a budget for home improvements, distributing the expenditure over the year. A gpurt of buying now and none later on is neither good budgeting nor helpful in the employment situation. The things to (be undertaken first of all will be those most important "stltX'h-in-time" things which wiH incur larger expenses if postponed until later when they have caused more sprious damage. There can be no more convincing urgument for repairing now than in the fact that if you take care of the small repairs, yoU-lAay^never need to face the undertaking and: cost of great ones. In this category come the leaks, from leaky rbofs, to leaky radiator valves.
