? Spruce I'p Your Home
(By Lilliun M. 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.
Miss Shannon Was Honor Guest

guest at a delightful buffet luncheon

Emily Shannon, Lena Stevenson,
Sarah Bissell, Helen Tindal, Etmily
t^heoxtt, 'Mary lEdith -Copeland and
Alice Robinson.
