Do you keep a roll of cello-
IF YOU,ARE planning on a few changes in the farm
home this spring, one idea that will be a hit with the entire
family is a “clean-up area” located near the family en
trance. This scrub-up, hang-up area can be used to store
outside clothes, muddy overshoes, and the like. The
lavatory eliminates the need for a walk through the house
to the bathroom to wash dirty hands. The farm wife may
also find it a handy place for washing vegetables brought
in from the garden.
phane tape handy’ Here are a
few ways it can be helpful to
you with your household chores.
Hang pictures with no danger
of chipping or cracking plaster.
Crisscross two strips of cello
phane tape on the spot where you
want to pound the nail, placing
the nail over the tape.
An electric cord may be kept
temporarily out of the way by
fastening the cord to a molding
every few inches with tabs of cel
lophane tape.
Dress patterns are neatly mend
ed and the directions clearly visi
ble when clear tape is used.
For something a little different
today let’s plan a menu. These
are good days to use your oven so
let’s have an oven meal. How does
this menu sound to you?

Candied Sweet Potatoes
Corn and Tomato Cups
