Beyond Public Utilities

Beyond the official limits
of many cities, towns and
villages in this country, vast
areas of former farm land
and open countryside are
being developed into residen-
tial areas.
Streets are cut through
and the former fields divided
into building plots. In many
instances model homes are
erected, furnished and deco
rated In plush style.
In this day and age most
of us are used to the service
supplied by public utility
companies and municipal
governments.
The utilities you generally
are accustomed to are water,
electric light, telephone,
street lighting and good
roads. You might add schools

Let the mover prepare and
there will be less despair, If
you are the one-in-flve the
United States Census Bureau
will move this year.
Sit down and think. What
can you do Immediately to
make the final stages of
moving less hectic.
There are three stages to
moving for most people.
The first is the big clean
up. Don't move anything you
don't need to that new house.
Dispose of everything you
don't need-give it away or
sell it, but don't take 1t with
you. These items could in
clude your lawn mowers,
children's crib. toys, furnish
ings that you plan to replace.
The second stage Is prepar-
alton. If you plan on using
a professional packing serv-
ice call them at once. Last
year 35 million Americans
moved to new homes, we are
told, and van companies are
busiest in the fall
If you plan to do your own
packing, what can you pack
now? Decide on the china
and glassware, out of season
clothing, seldom used ar
ticleS that can be packed.
Attic and cellar organization
can make the rest of the
house fall into place for last
minute packing. Send clothes
to the cleaners, send furni-
ture out that must be reup-
holstered, so that it can be
delivered to your new home If
possible and save you NOV
ing costs.
Packing Is Next
The third stage is packing.
II you are moving nearby,
transport some items-books,
lamps. meras, garden
equipment and lawn furni-
ture, valuable figurines,
sculpture, art works. There
is a special low-rate for book
shipments if you ship them
parcel post, one way to cut
weight If your mover is using
interstate rates charging you
on the basis Of weight and
mileage.
Pack dishes in barrels or
drums, wrapping each dish in
newspaper so that there is
enough newspaper between it
and the next object. Heir
loom dishes, other fragile
objects may be packed in a
contained lined with a sheet
ing of latex foam available
by the yard. Many movers
use that method.
Linens should be packed in
cartons. not dresser drawers.
Most modern dressers are too
lightly constructed to carry
heavy weights. But it's not
a good idea to pack a carton
so full that it bulges on top.
Mark by Rooms
Experienced movers like to
use colored tags or tape to
mark items that go into spe-
