The record should show type of insurance, amount, policy number, insuring com- pany, agent’s name and add- ress. Include property records in your overall plan of record keeping. If you own real es- tate, your home file should contain a description of the property, location, date of purchase, price, and date and place of deed is recorded. Pa- pers that may be difficult to replace — deed, certificate of title, mortgage papers — should be kept in the safe de- posit box, Keep the title to your auto- mebile in fhe safe deposit box with a copy of the infor. mation in your home file. Since you carry your driver’s license with you. a record of the number filed with your papers will make replacing it easier. It is also wise to keep a record of your current license plates.

Extension clo- thing specialist at Penn State say that the weight of a coat does not really tell how warm it will be. The fiber content is the true clue to finding a warm coat, Wool is the warmest fiber you can buy. Reprocessed wool is often used in boy’s winter coats. That is, wool that was made into fabric but never used, So it is broken down again and rewoven. This means the fabric has a rougher texture, but it is just as warm as original wool fab- ric. One hundred per cent wool may be expensive, and it must be dry cleaned. These are two drawbacks to buying wool, Acrylic fibers are next to wool in warmness, Sometimes it is woven and looks very much like wool, It may also be a pile. Modacrylic, as: a pile fabric is also warm. The clothing specialists say sometimes a coat or jacket may look warm, but it won't be. Fibers that may look warm but really aren't, in. clude’ cotton, polyester and nylon. For example, a cotton corduroy jacket with a bulky polyester pile lining will not be as warm as it may look. Let the fiber content on the label be your guide when sel- ecting a warm winter coat, Then check to see how the coat is made. Will cold air come un the sleeves or are there knit cuffs to stop it? Is it open at the neck so air can get in there? A really warm coat should keep out the air on even the coldest day, ex- plain the clothing specialists.
