drawers room by room. Use

items that need cleaning and
repair.
Soil weakens fibers, so put
everything away absolutely
clean and dry.
Launder washables. Have
non-washables dry cleaned
Hang garments. Place in
garment bags or plastic
bags. Fold items to be
boxed; pack with tissue in
between to reduce wrinkling.

use moth balls when storing
woolens.
Label boxes with contents
for easy access. Keep
sweaters, jackets handy for
the first chill of fall Store

In\ olve Children in
Energy Conservation
Energy conservation is not
a “for adults only” activity
Youngsters can do a lot to
save energy, too. Parents
can set the best example for
their children by making
some basic facts available to
them and by practicing what
they preach.
Water seems to hold a
fascination for children.
They tend to have a heavy
hand on the faucet when
getting a drink of water or
when brushing their teeth.
Children can be taught to
fill a glass with only as much
as they intend to drink and to
turn the water off when

brushing their teeth. Teach
youngsters to turn faucets
off completely to avoid
drips. If height is the
problem, make or buy a stool
so the children can reach the
faucet adequately.
When it comes to bathing,
a little water can go a long
way with children. Small
youngsters can take a tub
bath together to save water.
Another energy weakness
children are prone to is
standing in front of an open
refrigerator while deciding
what to eat. This wastes
electricity by causing the
refrigerator to work harder,
and if you have an old-style
manual defrost refrigerator
with the freezer inside the
unit, it will cause ice to build
up rapidly during the
summer months.
Teach children to think
about what they want before
they open the door. If they
don’t know what they want,
Watch for danger signs of debt
YORK Are you paying
only the minimum amount
due each month on your
charge accounts? Or waiting
longer and longer to pay
bills?
These are jnust a few war
rung signs that you may be
getting m over-your head,
says Joan Lamberson, home
economist. Overuse of credit
is like an illness that creeps
up without your realizing
what’s happening.
Easy credit, combmed
with inflation, has made
many families especially
vulnerable. Now the credit
situation is tightening, and
many retailers are requiring
larger minimum monthly
payments, and lowermg
customers’ credit limits.

perhaps they aren’t really
hungry.
Be creative in thinking of
ways to save energy in your
home. If your children like
cool drinks on hot summer
days and perpetually head
for the ice trays m the
freezer, try filling an ice
chest with enough cubes to
last the day. You will save
energy in your freezer and
will be setting a good
example for your children on
how to conserve
You can cut down on the
number of drinking glasses
used m a day by marking
each child’s cup with his or
her name. One cup per child
each day can go a long way
toward saving you or your
dishwasher time and energy.
Be patient when trying to
teach children energy
conservation and keep in
mind that you may serve as
their most prominent
example of how to conserve
Lamberson recommends
that consumer? be alert to
danger signs of debt and
take action. If you notice you
are making minimum
payments on charge ac
counts, discipline yourself to
make larger installments.
Don’t make any more pur
chases until your account is
paid up.
If you have accounts all
over town, close as many as
possible.
