rpHE first week in November should
E see the garden tools! lawn mower,
window and door screens and* awn
ings all put away for the winter. .
Before the small .tools are stored,
dean and oil them. Now Is a good
time to make any necessary repairs,
too. The lawn mower should be
well cleaned and oiled. It would pay
to have it sharpened ready , for use
next spring. * These jpbs done now
save time in the spring’s rush hours.
When the screens ate taken off
the windows and doors, brush them
well and then paint the wire with
kerosene. Store .them carefully so
that they won't warp and are safe
from bumps that might break either
wire or frames.
Small awnings that are taken
care of at home should be thor
oughly brushed before folding
carefully and storing where they
will keep clean.
Lawn and porch furniture can be
put away now. Give metal furniture
a coat of kerosene to prevent rust
and be sure it is stored in a dry
place.
In the garden there are still a few
odd jobs to be done.
Old rhubarb plants will produce
better next spring If this fall you
cover them well with manure. It can
be dug in next spring.
Clean the garden well before
mulching any plants. Cut off all
withered stalks - and . clear away all
fallen leaves. Then begin mulching
when the ground freezes.
Peonies and bulbs that were
set out late will, need a light
mulch—just enou: to keep the
ground frozen so that it won’t
thaw and tear the roots loose.
Perennials and biennials — fox
gloves especially—with soft crowns
should be protected first v/ith berry
.boxes or a frame of twigs lest the
mulching leaves rot them.
Sift coal ashes around delphin
iums.
When chrysanthemums have fin
ished flowering cut them back to a
few inches.
It’s a good idea to fork up the
vegetable garden and leave it
rough during the winter. This
will kill many grub pests.
Don t forget to remove and bum
any yellowing iris leaves when you
are cleaning up the perennial border.
Pull up and bum all weeds and
any annuals that have been killed
by light frosts.

EXECUTIVE SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO WORKERS
T N July, 1942,1 wrote a column about how a business executive
made himself accessible to his employees. That man was
H. Ray Ellinwood of Burbank, Calif. I told how any worker,
at almost any time, could get in to see him. No fuss, no feathers.
,The dobr swings both'ways.
Well, since I wrote that column the number of his em
ployees has doubled. But Ellinwood could not double the num-
berber of hours in the day. So this is the way
f he has solved his problem of trying to see all the
employees who wish to talk to him.
He solved it as an engineer would.- He now
has two small electric lights on the door to his
office, each operated by a switch from his desk.
When he turns on the green light it means
“Available in a few moments.”
_ When he turns on the red it means, “Urgent
Dale Carnegie business; try again another time.”
He has taken a further step in dealing with the
rLU "~ people he must confer with; and without hurting
anyone's feelings. He asks his employees, whenever possible,
to write him a memo instead of coming to see him. Every
memo gets prompt reply.
1 A “management meeting” is held every other Tuesday eve
ning at which there are about 40 key executives present. Many
problems have to be taken up, so he arrived at a way of handling
them. Before the sessions begin he makes out a “discussion
program” and puts it on the table in front of him, with, as he
‘ says, “the big berries on top.” That is, the biggest problems
. to be discussed first.
\ ' Now these are all sensible methods for dealing with people
tnd with work-problems that Ellinwood has worked out. Study
1 them ; put them to use.

WON’T pick up that paper—It’s
on Sally’s side of the room.” This
is a familiar ultimatum in families
where sisters (or brothers) have to
share a bedroom. And yet dividing
the space, giving each his own pre
serves, is the wily way to prevent
utter confusion. And it’s the best
way to divide responsibility for room
care, too.
But there doesn’t have to be an
armed frontier between Sally’s and
Linda’s quarters. Help them design
the room so that the separate space
of each combines into a unified and
harmonious effect. This will prove
the strongest incentive for each to
do ha share of the cleaning up. For
example, instead of twin beds use
twin couches and line them up at
right angles in one comer of the
room. When made up with tailored
covers this produces an attractive
“conversation comer.” A low table
placed in the angle gives a further
smart decorating touch. It’s much
more fun to make beds and pick up
clothes when by doing so you can
transform a bedroom into a grown
up studio. But this won’t happen if
only one couch is straightened up—
so get busy, sister! .
As much of the planning as pos
sible should be done by the girls
themselves. It will save floor
scratches if instead of moving the
furniture about, the whole thing is
worked out beforehand on paper.
First, measure the room and draw
it to scale—one inch equalling one
foot gives a workable amount of
paper space. Then make pape r fig
ures of the furniture ,In the same ’*
size scale. Now comes the fun of
shifting and rearranging until the '
very best and most convenient plac
ing of the furniture is arrived at.
There is even an opportunity !
for each girl to express her own J \
taste, though this requires care- j v
ful planning beforehand to elimi- j >
nate ideas that clash. Suppose >
Sally loves flowered wall paper
and Linda prefers plain walls.
One solid color wall in a flower-
papered room is good, provided
the paint takes its color from »
dominant shade In the paper. Or ;
the single wall ean be papered
and the others painted with
equally pleasing effect.
Study desks are better separated—
they can both be at the window end
of the room but against opposite
walls. If there are two windows the
space between can be occupied by
two low book shelves placed back
to back and extending out into the
room Instead of being flat against
the wall. Each sister then has her
own books just behind her as she
studies. The tops of the two book
shelves form a table over which a
mirror or picture can be hung.
Of course, a separate room for
each child to grow In Is the dream
of parents and children alike. But
In these days of crowded living quar
ters children can double up without
losing that sense of privacy and
responsibility which space of one’s
own confers, provided you use ima
gination and give-and-take in ar
ranging their quarters.

• If farin ponds are correctly built
and managed, especially if they In
clude fish, they will be deep enough
«t the edge to keep down vegetation
and permit the fish to get the mos
quitoes. Don’t overlook their value
for fire protection.
• The average farmer may safely
cull about a tenth of the lowest pro
ducing heifers near the end of their
first record year.
• Now is the time for checking all

average 12 hours each day at their
work—don’t we all? •
