AND HOME By MART E. DAGUE Author of SUtor Mary's Kltehoa. 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. ,:|V 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. uccedd \(ui parenthood BY / MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Patents' Mogozino I 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.
