Spring Cleaning And
Home Accidents

Molner advises Last Year. 33 of
those who died from home ac-
cldents were younger than five
and 900 were 65 years old and
older.
Good housekeeping can help
to save lives. Make sure that
balls, roller skates. wagons and
empty bottles are not left on
the stairways or in other places
where they may create a hazard
Keep brooms. mopS and other
articles off the steps to prevent
tripping
Take care so that your small
rugs will not slip and if neces-
sary use rubber pads and other
devices to keen rugs from slip
ping Arrange furniture so that
foot stools and light cords will
not cause falls.
Make sure floors are not so
highly polished that they are
dangerously slippery. Clean up
all spilled water and oily liquids
Immediately.
If you are working above your
head use either a sturdy step
stool or ladder rather than an
insecure substitute. Use only lad
dc-s with good safety base.
Have a light switch at the door
cf each room so as you enter
there will be sufficient light TO
prevent tripping and falling.
You may avoid falls if the bath
tub has a rubber mat at the bot
tom and hand rail on the wall
This is particularly essential for
older persons.

Report From Washington

busting insecticides are extremely
important In the Mississippi Del
ia Region where one of these
special reporting services has
been underway in recent years,
some estimates show farmers
saving as much as $50 for every
one dollar invested in this pro-
gram.
In no commodities is the i'm
portance of careful, accurate
local weather forecasting more
important than in production of
certain fruits and vegetables.
Western Lower Michigan is one
such primary fruit and vegetable
producing area. Michigan's inn
portance in fruit and vegetable
production can be seen from the
fact that it ranks first in the
nation in the production of sour
cherries, picking cucumbers and
late market strawberries. can
taloups, and celery; second in
the nation in the production Of
plums; third in the production
of apples and sweet cherries. and
fourth in the nation in the pro-
duction of peaches. pears and
grapes. In most of the major
fruits and vegetables, Michigan
ranks in the Top ten states in
volume of production and the
bulk Of this production is concen-
trated in Western Lower Michi-
gan.
Some things are being done.
The Michigan Agricultural Expert
ment Station has research under
way and more being started on
product output and quality and
the relationships, between farm
the many different facets of the
meteorological environment such
as sunlight. humidity, wind velo-
CITY, temperatures al Inherent

ground, air flow, rainfall and
others.

cessor or farmer until Cd more

and conditions Of the con-
tract.
Don't make the mistake
that so many initial home-
buyers make, namely, "buy-
ing" the financing on a house
and not the house itself. In
other words, if you need four
bedrooms and two baths,
don't buy a three bedroom
house simply because you
can purchase it for little or
no downpayment. Believe
me, you can get pretty un-
happy when you are over
crowded and you are better
off to spend the extra money
or locate in a somewhat less
convenient neighborhood with
a home having enough space
Ior your family needs.
On final observation. Be-
fore you sign 4 contract, be
sure you know the firm with
which you are dealing. II
the firm is not known to
you personally, or if 1t was
not recommended by friends,
then check with the local
real estate board or real es-
tate commission to find out
about the company. Rep
utable real estate brokers or
home builders are happy to
have you check them out
and they will be pleased to
give you personal references
of clients they have served
or other homes they have
built.

spelled out in the contract.
Others can be covered in .
letter from the real estate
broker. Avoid, at all costs,
casual answers to questions.
Any alert salesman expects
to be questioned and he will
have authoritative answers
for you or he will secure the
information for YOU If he
doesn't know the answer.
Now that you have finally
selected n house that you
think you would like to pur-
chase, ask some more Ques-
tions! What will the settle
ment costs run? The sales
man will not be able to give
you a precise answer, but he
can determine within q few
dollars what these costs will
be. When can you take pos
session? When will settle
ment be held? Who is 60
ing to secure the financing
and how much will the loan
be? Sit down with the sales
man and read the contract
very carefully, and ask ques-
tions about anything you do
not thoroughly understand.
Don't forget, If and when
you sign a contract, and it
is accepted by the seller, you
become at that instant the
owner of that property, sub
ject, Of course, to the terms

area where they will not have
plRymates their own age, and
mother will be unhappy If
she has to look for them
day after day blocks away.
Look at the heating and
plumbing equipment very
carefully. and II you have
any doubts about its eondi-
ton. get q plumber to check
1t out before you sign the
contract. Carefully inspect
the basement for wetness of
dampneSs; look at the roof
jOists from the attic and see
If you can find where 1t has
been leaking. Will the owner
accept a termite clause in
the contract? Try the cleo
trio dishwasher and disposal
and see that they are work
ing properly. Find out If
the refrigerator goes with
the house. Be sure what
shrubs, flowers, ANAL trees,
drapes, carpets, etc, go with
the house.
Get Specific Answers
If you will take the time
to get specific answers to
these and other reasonable
questions you will avoid some
of the basic pitfalls that can
create MISUNDERSTANDING:

lawn maintenance costs can

Don't kid yourself on any
Of these questions. Stay
within your budget at all
costs, because, II you over
extend yourself financially
the thrill Of home ownership
can wear mighty thin!
So now you have q list
of houses offered or sale.
I suggest, incidentally, that
you look ut both new and
used houses SO you can make
a better market comparison.
Put on your businessman's
hat and get underway on
what should be an extremely
interesting and exciting
journey. You are going to
want to ask = lot of ques-
tions from here on in, and
finally. after completing your
survey Of what is available,
you will be able to make =
sound investment that can
and should pay handsome
dividends in the years to
come.
When you arrive at q house
for sale identify yourself to
the sales representative and
tell him what you have in
mind. Inspect the property
from top to bottom, inside
and out. Make mental or
written notes about anything
that pops into your mind.
Check Ground Conditions
For example, If the house
is newly built, and 1t looks
as though the yard has been
filled, you will want to know
how much fill has been put
around the trees. and whether
the trees are guaranteed TO
live.
What type Of roof u on
the house: and II it 10 COM
position, is 1t o l0-y0ar or
QO-year roof What IL the
capacity Of the water heater
and for how long IL 1t guar
Rnteedp The same with the
furnace. What is the Eon-
ing Of that vacant land
across the street who owns
1t, and what is going to be
built there, If anything?
Where is the nearest school
for your children. Is it
crowded and on part = time
classes? How near Is public
transportation and what In
the bus schedule?
Also, what are the real
estate taxes2 Are there any
special easements, covenants
or assessments against the
property2 What Is the con-
dition Of the street and side
walk and, If they are not
installed, who Is going to
pay for their installation and
how much will 1t cost? Is
there financing available on
the property; what are the
terms; how much downpay-
ment is needed? How much
will the insurance cost? Will
there be any placement fees
or discounts that you must
pay TO secure financing?

prop your feet up on n foot
stool, get . scratch pad and
pencil, open up your house
hold budget book. and, most
important, ask your spouse
TO Sit down with you to dis
cuss the Quetion Of buying
q home.
There are many factors in
volVed in q decision TO pur-
chase a home. and you would
be well advised to thoroughly
prepare yourself before you
actually start TO look at
available houses.
Here are some questions
you will want to answer in
plotting your course towards
hOmeownership; How many
children In your family, plus
how many do you expect to
have In the next few yearsH
What are the chances that
you will have to provide
shelter for one OF more in
laws? How much can you
afford to pay each month for

utilities, maintenance and
related OxpensesP How much
cash can you raise for .

Ask Questions

Realistic answers to these
questions will tell you in
what price category and how
large q home you should seek.
Where do you want to locate
in the Washington area? This
is a vital question and again,
you should answer some fun
damental questions before
starting up the family car
and shopping for q home.
In this phase Of your an
AlySis you will have to prac-
tice the art Of compromise.
For example, you will have
to decide whether it is more
important to be near the
wage earner's place Of en-
ployment as opposed TO .
nearby school for the young
BterS. The age and Condi-
tion Of the family car bears
on this matter, don't forget,
because If you plan TO use
your savings for q downpay-
ment and assume q substan-
t1al monthly mortgage pay
ment, you obviously will not
have too much money for
garage bills or q new car.
So. select q geographic
area in which to live by
carefully studying a map of
the Washington area in
terms of your family's par
ticular needs, desires, and
finances.
Figure on UpkeeP
Now that you know how
much downpayment you have,
plus the amount you can
afford to pay out each
month and where you want
to live, you are ready to scan
the newspaper ads and start
listing houses to look at. At
thiS point you will have to
make some more basic de-
clS1onS, such as: A new house
versus an existing one; do
you have a prejudice against
frame exterior versus brick;
basement versus no-baSe-
ment; number Of bedrooms
and baths; must you have
q garage; hot-water heat
versus forced air; oil versus
