Housewife Pitches In
On Do-It-T Together Team

PATIO - She mixes cement in
limited patches while "the boss"
lays fiagstOnes in attractive irregu-
lar pattern. If too much cement is
mixed at time it may harden
before use. Teamwork here gets
job done in few hours.
The do-it-yourself trend is turn
ing into a "do-it-together" move
ment because the housewife has
joined the team.
Hardware and building mate
rials dealers report that sales in
creasingly are to women who
come into their shops and yards
for "handyman" materials and
tools. Women who before merely
planned the work for their hus-
bands to do, today pitch in with
the actual work of painting, WALL
papering, laying floor tile, putting
up wallboard and ceiling panels,
installing insulation, building
patios, barbecues, and lawn fur
niture.
Working together gets jobs done
faster and saves money. In addi-
ton, women express satisfaction
in doing their part to improve
their homes appearance and liv-
ability.
Women are cautioned not to at
tempt heavy work. Light jobs
where they act as handyman's
helper are advised.

INSURANCE DEATH BENEFITS
Delaware Families Received S4,-
$4,000 in First Half of This Year

Delaware families received S4,-
$4,000 in life insurance death
benefits in the first half of this

paid off because of death in the
first six months Of 1855 was 3,405
which compared with 1850 in the

ally appears to be at a record
low rate, materially below the
1945 rate. Aggregate ownership
of life insurance in this country
has risen 1875 percent in the past
ten years. Some 100000 more
people are now protected, and
those who are insured own, on the
average 20 percent more protec-
