There is vast variety of new and improvised materials and equipment on the market—even new tools which to do the work. Acquire yourself with them all before you commit yourself. 7) Divide the work.

Figure out that portion of it you can do yourself, but do not undertake projects that call for more time—skill—than you can give to them. Cost estimates are now in order. Find out whether you can afford the work you want, on both top priority projects and those that can wait. If you have an architect, he can put out the plans for bids by contractors. If you do not have an architect, don't know builders, check on your local lumber company—the names of a few. With cost estimates in, you can begin to consider paring down your projects to what you can afford. Cut do not make any final decisions on this until you check your financing sources—you may be able to save more projects than you think. Financing comes next. There are a number of ways in which to obtain modernizing loans, including FHA Home Improvement Loans, open-end mortgages, banks' own home improvement loans, mortgage refinancing, private borrowing, credit union loans, lumber dealers' and appliance retailers' financing, and others. Possibly the wisest course is to start negotiations, with the bank or loan association that holds the first mortgage on the property to be improved. Cut your workmen. If you have an architect on the job, he will get (or help you get) a contractor or the individual workman needed. If you have a general contractor, workmen are his responsibility. If you have nobody lined up to do the job, your local lumber company will steer you to reliable craftsmen. Check your local building codes and zoning regulations, if any extensive alterations are called for. You may find that your planned garage must be several feet behind the house, or a number of feet in from the lot line; or that two-family home you plan to construct out of your one-family residence is forbidden by local zoning regulations. Buy your materials, and arrange for their delivery before the workmen appear, to save the cost of idle workmen and workmen's call-backs. With these steps you can launch your all-out modernizing drive for happier, more comfortable living for the entire family. Handy Jim's Fixin-Up Tips For Farm and Home Using a Hand Saw HERE are some good tips about using a hand saw. They were prepared by the National Safety Council. 1. Keep the saw sharp, teeth properly set and clean. 2. Use a cross-cut saw for cutting across toe raip saw with the grain. 3. Start the cut with two long slow pulls up, guiding with the thumb. (See drawing.) Then get the hand away and go ahead. 4. To prevent sticking, keep the blade true with the cut. In wet or gummy wood a little oil or paraffin may help. 5. Don't "ride" the saw. If it doesn't cut well, it may need sharpening or setting. 6. If you use one knee to steady the work, watch your balance. 7. Saw teeth can make a worse cut than a sharp knife. Handle with care.

To print the 73,000 copies for subscribers required a total of 120 tons of specially-manufactured paper. The paper, bought in huge quantities by the telephone company, must meet exacting standards to be thin enough for maximum utility, but not thin enough for ink to show through. Dated November 1953, the green cover carries a special notice calling attention to new prefixes effective November 1 for more than 14,000 Orange County telephone numbers. These include introduction of KEstone-5 in Anaheim, Jackson-7 in Cypress, LAwrence-2 in Euena Park, LEhigh-9 in Garden Grove and LAkeview-8 in Placentia. The company again reminded subscribers to carefully shake out old directories before turning them over to deliverymen in order to prevent loss of valuables. Disabled Vets May Be Entitled To Assistance War veterans whose earning power is severely restricted by a permanent total disability — even though the disability did not result from military service—may be entitled to financial assistance from the Veterans Administration according to Ben Liebermann, Orange County Veterans Service Officer. Such assistance is called a pension, to distinguish it from compensation which is paid for disabilities resulting from actual military service. Compensation is paid regardless of a veteran's other sources of income, while a pension is paid only if a veteran faces financial hardship without it. A pension is payable to a permanently and totally disabled veteran without dependents if his annual income is $1,400 or less. If the veteran has a wife and/or children, he may have an annual income of $2,700 and still draw a pension. The rate is $63 per month, increased to $75 per month on attainment of 65 years, or after continuous receipt for ten years. $35,000 Payment SANTA ANA—Mrs. Gloria Pay Mills, for herself and her small son, Terry Lynn Mills, accepted a $35,000 settlement of their $184,000 damage suit, based upon the death of the husband and father, Willie Joe Mills, last March 25. A stipulated judgment for the $35,000 was approved late Wednesday by Superior Judge Franklin G West, in whose court a jury was haering evidence in the case when the settlement was reached suddenly out of court. Mills was killed near the county hospital when his motorcycle collided with an Anaheim school bus driven by Mrs. Henrietta Gillespie. He was returning from a Fullerton hospital where he had just visited his newborn son. The crash occurred at Chapman and Placentia Avenues. The damage suit was brought against Mrs. Gillespie and the Arch diocese of Los Angeles Education and Welfare Corp. Of the total settlement, the court approved payment of $11,333.33 in attorney fees, $400 in costs, with $400 to be deposited in a bank for the child, the rest going to Mrs. Mills.
