Kent Home DOings
What's The Story On
Installment Buying?

When you find it necessary to
use credit, where is the best place
to get it?
You have several choices and
you should look around for the best
deal, according to Florence Y.
Smith, home demonstration agent
in Kent County.
Although it is often easier to get
credit directly from the retailer,
it is often much more expensive.
Quite often the retailers install
ment plan has high interest rate
as compared to the price you would
pay for credit from some other
source
Often the buyer looks at the size
of the payments and the total fl
nance costs and thinks he is get
ting a good deal. Actually, on a
short-time loan, small finance
charge blows up to a very large
interest rate when you get out a
pencil and paper.
For example: SO carrying
charge on a $50 purchase, paid in
16 weeks, equals an interest rate
of more than 100 per cent.
So, Mrs. Smith says, figure out
where the cheapest source of cred
it is before you borrow.

Letter writing practice also helps
rs tell what we are doing in school.
Dear Paulette,
Have sou neard of the game
called Jacks"
The first time I ever played it
was when | was in fifth grade. A
new girl came into our class and
taught US how to play. At first l
found it very hard. But the more l
practiced, the better l became.
Now, l find it very easy.
Ten jacks and a little ball is all
that is needed to play this game.
Here is how you play jacks. You
throw the ball up in the air, pick
up one jack, and then catch the
ball. When you have finished pick
ing up all the jacks, one at a time,
you start picking up two at a time.
You keep on like that until you
have gone up to ten Then you
start backwards: ten, nine, eight,
seven, and so on until you get to
one
hope you have as much fun
playing it as do.
One rule of jacks is that when
ever you are picking up a jack, or
jacks and you move another jack,
you lose your turn.
Sincerely,
Ruth Ann Kniceley
Dear Grandmother,
have learned how to make OBJ
jects out of clay, and have become
good at this by doing these things:
First, | study its form, positions,
and features. l do this to try to
make the clay look like the object
itself. Next, | soften the clay to
make it easier to work with Then,
| make each part to look like that
part of the object | am making.
put each part together Then it is
done. l have already done roses
and animals. Animals are some
times hard to make.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Bobbie,
In school we are learning square
dancing. The hardest thing l find

You step to your comer's right;
then you cross back to back; then
you return to your place.
It's easy to describe, but hard to
do.
Sincerely,

We have had forty-six filmstrips
this year in our room. Some of the
films have been on health to help
us to better understand our bodies
and the work that is carried on by
each part We began with the skele-
ton and then the skin, eyes, ears,
teeth, the nose, throat, digestive
system, the muscles, blood, heart,
and the foods to keep our body in
the best working order.
There were story films to go with
our reading class. There were other
films about famous authors, inven-
tors, and scientists, animals, in
sects, Salk vaccine, yellow fever,
consultations, planets, how the
earth was formed, why it rains,
and good citizenship. We have
found that many of our questions
are answered in a good filmstrip.
We wish to voice our thanks to all
the people who make it possible
for us to have such excellent tools
to work with in all subject areas
We have also used many of the
