day to ask the board to rescind
it's previous action.
In connection with the Tide Water
rate reduction, the city body is
expected to appoint committee,
to include City Manager A. c.
Nichols and City Attorney W. B.
Campbell, to confer with the Utili-
ties commission in Raleigh. The
council has expressed its displeas-
ure that the commission granted
a new rate schedule without first
consulting the city. The city Off
cials currently are investigating to
ascertain if the reduction Is a
reasonable one.
The Sunday closing ordinance,
which has been strongly opposed
by the Seventh Day Adventists, is
due to be presented by Campbell
for council adoption.
Several weeks ago, the attorney
was instructed, on the motion of
Councilman W. E. Yopp, to prepare
an ordinance bringing up to date
ali existing city statutes requiring
businesses to close on Sundays.
The action was initiated by a
Wilmington Retail Grocers' associa-
ton resolution asking that all gro
Gerry stores be closed on Sunday
and a Ministerial association en-
dorsement of the grocers' request
The matter was thrashed out be-
fore the council in it's last meeting,
when representatives of the
Seventh Day Adventists and Mini
sterial association delegates dis
cussed the pros and cons OF the
proposed ordinance.
The Adventists oppose the ordin-
ance on the grounds that it con-
stitutes religious legislation by a
civil body.

Home Gordens Will Be PonMInr

About half the households in the United States are planning q home garden this year, according to a national survey of farm and nonfarm families made recently by the Division of Program Surveys of the U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 This development is of decided importance at this time in view of the world food crisis. While no of- ficial data are available to indicate the actual amount of food raised in home gardens, they represent "an important contribution to the total food supply" according to the De- pertinent of Agriculture.
 About 181s million households out of the 37 million in the country intend to have a garden, the survey found, the same number as in 10l6 and about 6 per cent lower than in 1914. The proportion of households planning gardens is highest in the rural areas, both among farm and nonfarm families. In the flonfarm group gardens were more common among older people and those with large families.
 Among the norfarm families who gardened previously, reasons given for discontinuing included lack of space or time, poor health, and rn- certainty of plans due to conditions.
 Home gardening is having an ir1- fluence on family diet, according to the survey. Of those who had start ed gardening recently, more than half told the interviewers that their families have eaten more vegetables since they have had gardens than they ordinarily would. The three favorite vegetables raised by both farm and nonfarm families are to- matoes, onions and string or wax beans.
 The survey found that more households preserve food than have gardens. The indicated number was two-thirds of the nonfarm families and nine- -tenths of the farm house. holds. These families indicated that they planned to put up at least as much food this year as last if more sugar is available and provided that the fruit and vegetable crops are better than in 1045. f

 RECREATION. The way each member of your family likes to spend his leisure time, the games and hobbies each likes, and the amount of entertaining you do will determine how much play room" you need.
 EATING. Decide where you like to eat, meal by meal and don't for get special occasions. Does your family enjoy outdoor eating enough to justify building barbecue pie nic area?
 COOKING. Preparation of meals and disposal of debris are major work problems in any household. The home-maker spends more working hours in the kitchen than anywhere else, so much considera- tion should be given to pleasant surroundings in this work center.
 STORAGE. Lack of storage space in existing homes is the biggest complaint in housing surveys. To keep any semblance of order, stor-

Conning Familiar To Many Housewives

One conlmendable result of war; time food shortages is that more women have learned the simple art of home canning and it's many ad- vantageS. Surveys made by a lead- ing manufacturer of fruit jars show that most new and old home can- ners plan to maintain their volume of food preservation. The National Garden Institute will continue to urge home canning in order to al- leviate any imminent food short ages.
 Supplies of jars and caps will be plentiful. The porcelain-lined zinc cap for Mason jars, favorite of home canners for generations, is back, and so are wide-mouth Mason jars.

and equipment you'll have to buy; allow for extras" such as archi- tect's fees, cost of plans, and pos sible upward revisions of cost esti- mates.
 WHERE TO BUILD comes next. The site will determine most of the detailed decisions you make about the house itself. Consider how far you want to go for church, schools, and shopping. Check for transpor- tation, zoning restrictions, tax rates, traffic hazards and recreation.
 Choose @ site that will permit the development of the outdoor features you want. Check utilities-sanitary
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-05-13

THE BUDGET is the first factor to be considered. Modern home 1l- nancing is liberal and flexible, but if you obligate your credit to the breaking point, you'll not enjoy your home, no matter how attractive it is.
 Check your assets-savings and assured income. Decide how much of that you can apply to the cost of house on monthly basis; one fifth to one-fourth is a conserva- five basis for figuring. Multiply that sum by 100, add 1t to savings avail able, and you'll have safe budget figure.
