A Detailed Home Inventory
Most people cannot remember
all of their home’s contents
following a major fire. The result
is a potential loss that could
amount to thousands of dollars.
The full amount of the "con
tents” insurance you carry as part
of your homeowners or tenants
policy is not automatically paid.
You, the homeowner or tenant,
must provide a detailed list of all
items stolen or destroyed.
To prove to yourself how im
portant a list can be just take 10
minutes for a simple exercise. Sit
down and itemize from memory
everything in one room. Then
compare your list against what’s
actually there. Most people find
they’ve forgotten several things.
Systematically go through every
room listing each piece of furniture
and clothing. In addition to the
name of each item, you should also
indicate, as accurately as possible,
the date of purchase and the price.
Then don’t forget to keep your
home inventory current by adding
all new purchases and gifts.
An excellent method of
describing the items listed in the
inventory is to take color photos of
everything including inside
closets, drawers, etc.
You should NOT keep the in
ventory list and photographs m
your home. They will simply be
destroyed along with everything
else in the event of a fire, or
possibly stolen if burglarized.

Make a copy of the inventory for
your use, but keep the originals in
your safe deposit box.
Many insurance agents and
compames have inventory forms
you can request to help you
organize your list.
After you have completed the
inventory, discuss it with your
insurance agent to make certain
you have adequate coverage. Also,
some items such as jewelry and
furs might not be covered and
will require a separate ride on your
homeowners policy.
The few hours it takes to com
plete your inventory could save
thousands ot dollars, and will
definitely save you time and
- t aggravation, in the event of a
major fire or theft.
Choosing a Microwave Oven
Making the decision to purchase
a microwave oven is relatively
easy; selecting the one to meet
your needs from among the many
models on the market is not.
The first step is to figure out
where you will put an oven. The
space must accommodate the oven
and allow air circulation for top,
bottom, or back ventmg units. You
don’t need extra space for the front
ventmg models.
Some manufacturers offer ovens
that can be installed over the
range, in the space usually oc
cupied by the range hood. Think
about who will be using the oven.
Will an over-the-range model limit
use in your family?

You’ll also need to think about
which microwave oven > door
opening is best for you and the
space you have available. Most
doors open to the left side, but a
few manufacturers offer swing
down doors.'Microwave ovens also
require their own grounded 120 volt
household circuit.
If you are in the market tor an
oven you will be interested in this
booklet, available from The
Pennsylvania State University
Cooperative Extension Service.
It’s called “Selecting a Microwave
Oven,” and besides details on
choosing the best one for your
available space, the booklet
discusses the pros and cons of
special features. It also describes
care and safety procedures and
details the variety of microwave
cookware and accessories on the
market.

yeast bread, let it rise tor just a
little bit, pop it into a very hot oven
and PRESTO! It puffs up and
makes its own pocket. It’s just
right tor hearty nutritious suppers.
Not only that, but if these
pockets are tilled with cooked
beans or a chick pea puree, they
become an excellent substitute tor
tonight’s meat. The incomplete
proteins in the pita bread and in
the beans or peas supplement
each other to become a complete
protein usable by our bodies tor
energy and growth.
Pita bread is tun to make when
you have “little helpers” about.
Squashing the raised balls of dough
into circles and popping them into
a hot oven to watch them rise
before your eyes is almost like a
magic show, only better. Your
helpers are helping you make the
magic.
An Extension nutritionist at
Penn Stale recommends this
recipe for you to try. Best do it
once bn your own before offering to
put on a show!
