Careful Planning Needed to Have
Farm Homes Properly Illuminated

In recent years, the farm home has
undergone some startling but long
overdue changes. Modern bathrooms
are being installed in an increasing
number of our rural homes, and
scores Of farm wives now have many
electrical appliances to help make
their houseWork easier. Proper light
ing too plays a big part In making
the farm home a happier, brighter
and more convenient place In which
to live. To achieve satisfactory light
ing, however. certain principles must
be followed.
Good illumination requires that
precaution be taken to eliminate
glare; bare bulbs should not be used.
General recommendations for proper
home lighting call for the installa-
ton of at least one permanent fix
ture. preferably Of the ceiling type,
in each room. Additional lights
should be placed to illuminate all
work areas, such as the kitchen sink,
ironing location and furnace space.
Wall switch controls are advocated
for these lighting outlets.
Other recommendations include
lighting outlets at the top and bot
tom of each stairway, with each light
controlled by switches on both floors;
on porches; at each side OF bath
room mirror; in halls, in each large
closet and in accessible attics. Provi-
sion should be made for sufficient
number Of convenience outlets in
rooms where lamps or plug-in appli.
ances are used.
Aside from general purpose cir
cults, appliance circuits, Of larger
wire than those required for Lighting
circuits, are needed for such equip
ment as coasters, coffee makers and
other table appliances, washers, irons
and refrigerators. Special purpose
circuits are required for ranges, wa
ter heaters and electrical equipment
used in connection with furnace
operations.

The Importance of Our Hay Crop

According to the United States
Department of Agriculture the hay
crop is the most important harvested
forage and can be made at COM
paratively small expense. In discuss
ing the crop at a recent publication
of the Agricultural department said:
Between 1928 and 1887 the hay
crop had an annual value greater
than that of cotton or wheat or any
other crop except corn" The de-
partment also added that crops un-
suitable for hay may be made into
silage, and almost any forage crop
can be ensiled in weather unsuitable
for haymaking."

VETERANS
Corner

eligibility for a CT loan? May a
veteran make larger payments on
his loan than his regular INSTALL
mentS when he is able?

the questions frequently asked the
Veterans Administration.

the Veterans Administration cut the
amount of subsistence I receive While
in school under the CT Bill?
A. No, as long as your subsistence
allowance and your wages together
do not equal more than $4,000 per
month, or SITS per month if you
are without dependents. Your SUBJ
sistence allowance may be reduced
as much as necessary to meet this
limitation.
Q. Does the fact that I receive
other income have any bearing on
the amount of compensation I get
as a veteran with a service-c connect
ed disability?
A. No.
I have been receiving unemploy-
ment allowance. Will this bar me
from taking an educational course
or on-the-job training and receiving
at some future date?
A. No. Receipt of adjustment
allowance does not take any of the
benefits provided by the CT Bill
away from you. However, a veteran
cannot receive subsistence and re-
adjustment allowance at the same
time.
