Good Time to Buy?

Is this a good time to buy a
house, furniture, appliances, a
car, Office supplies and equip
ment? Or soft goods for the
home. clothes the children will
need when they return to
school this fall?
Yes. 1t is a good time be-
cause:
% While prices aren't cheap
by any yardstick Of the past.
they're not going to get cheaper
in the future.
(2) Whatever changes do
come as 1859 rolls into 1860
will mostly be upward. The
overall price rise should be
relatively gradual, but the key
point is that the general direc-
tion in coming months will be
up. not down.
90 This is the start Of the
summer "letdown" and there
will be advantages in shopping
for soft goods, standard pieces
Of furniture, school outfits, the
usual specials in these off,
season weeks. Even though few
stores are overloaded with stuff
and there won't be any spec
tacular clearances, this sum-
mer will be a good shopping
time.
Loans to Cost More

gage loans. personal loans, busi-

are becoming an increasingly

economy again begins to sag

in sight.

when the amateur carpenter
is attempting this job. he
should have the door he in
tends to use on hand, and
work from its measurements.
This saves a lot Of laborious
saving and planning.
The second rule is to at
tach the hinges to the door
and not to the door frame.
When the door has been
fitted with the hinges 1t
should be set in the opening
to make sure Of the proper
clearances and then wedged
in while one screw is set in
each hinge. After the wedges
are removed and the door
swings easily, the hinges can
be secured permanently.
The man doing this job
should remember that it
makes a lot Of difference
which way a door opens. If
the door is at one end Of a
partition it must swing in
and against the wall, unless

against a closet door or a

ton Of swing often makes a
great difference in the wall
space available in a room,
and this point must be con-
sidered carefully.
After the direction Of swing
is established to the best ad-
vantage, the stop-beads can
be tackled along the frame
and the lock assembly set in
the door. The setting Of the
striking plate in the frame is
left until the lock is installed
on the door and the proper

Bedroom doors, bathroom
doors or any door except
linen closet doors should
never open into a hallway.
The reason for the exception
is that linen-cloSets are
usually small, and the shelves
prevent the door from open

II is not unusual for a
homeowner to find that a
certain room in his house is
suitable for two rooms II
properly divided.
This may apply TO a COM
bination living-dining room
or to a large children's room.
1t might also be said Of an
unusually large living room
which the owner would like
to divide into a television
room and a smaller sitting
room. In many cases it is
applicable to the basement,
when it is desired to wall of
the heating plant. In any
case, a substantial partition,
built according to the correct
procedure, will be found bet
ter than any kind of curtain
or fiimsy room divider.
Any home mechanic can do
the job.
The first step is to lay a
2x4 fiat on the floor and nail
1t in place after cutting out
the proper width for the door
opening. A double sill, as
shown, may also be used. but
is not essential. The second
step is to cut 2x4s Of proper
length to reach the ceiling.
after allowing for a doubled
2x4.
The best procedure is to set
in the uprightS for both sides
of the door opening and the
two uprights or studs at the
ends of the partition, and

the width permits in that

should be noted that close
and accurate measurements
which allow the uprights to
be driven in tight between

make for a study job.

Effective Living
 Theme Of Speech

Effective Living" the 1859 slo- gan of the National Federation of Business and Professional Wom- ems Clubs, means different things to different people," said Dr. Bob Johnson, guest speaker at the din- ner meeting of the club Monday evening at the Island Fountain.
 The program was sponsored by the Health and Safety Committee with Chairman Marian Johnson in- troducing Dr. Bob who, looking on the subject from the healthful viewpoint, took as his theme ''Ef- fective Emotional Living" He pro- jected the March of Time film Search for Happiness" which he said was not designed to teach, but to provoke thought. It DOT trayed the length people go in seeking happiness when, as Dr. Johnson pointed out, Happiness is always here for the taking. Everyday living can be repetitious Routine is tedious Try some new experience each day :. Exert an effort to rediscover the things around you |. the thrill of a beautiful sunset, the sky, the sea, the clouds, etc.
 In summing up he said, "and now, lest we forget, remember that there is no panacea. A search for the 'cure-all' always results in con- fusion. A belief on the part of any of you that anything I have said tonight is a icure-all would be fallaciOus. The answer does not lie in palmistry, diet fads, pure physical culture of the Atlas varie- ty, aStrolOgy, being in tune with the infinite, patent medicine, the gadgetry of Dr. Hooten, the anna teur problem solvers, or in any one thing .. The search for happiness is a daily job, and one which re- quires little effort on the part of each of us. There is no easy way. Consciously we must put out to achieve. Tonight I have men, tioned few methods of such con- sciouS effort that have proven ef- fective living. Consider today :. Take time to observe Try something new Keep fit :. Meet your problems, and above all VI. SMILE.
 Guests present to share in the enlightenment and enjoyment of hearing Dr. Johnson were: Martha Wolf, of Portland, Oregon, for mer member; Vera Powell, Verna Mcfarland and Betty Acheson.
 The next meeting of the Kodiak Business and Professional Wom- ems Club will be held November 2, at the home of Helen Schott. with Dora Naughton and Mary MoWry as co-hosteSSeS.
