Some items will be discovered that have been overlooked, either through your oversight or !the builder's oversight. Call them promptly to the builder's attention. Must Check Fireplace Before using your fireplace, light a newspaper in it to make sure that smoke is being drawn off properly. Never start a fire until you're sure the damper is open. Keep the damper closed when the fireplace is not in use. This keeps room heat from escaping through the chimney. Avoid overheating a new house. Shrinkage is inevitable in all wood, but it can be minimized by keeping the room temperature at not more than 70 degrees, especially during the first year you live in the house. By doing this, you will cause a more uni- form drying -out process. Should wood shrinkage occur in the bathroom,you'll-likely find a small separation between the tub and the wall tile, or between the floor tile and the tub. These small cracks may be filled with inexpensive white cement, avail- able in tubes at hardware stores, Cause of Fires Each year thousands of home fires are caused by abused or misused electrical equipment. Don't let an amateur tamper with the wiring or with the elec- trical fixtures m your home. Call an electrician. And remember this: Fuses are the safety valves of the electrical system. Don't use pennies or higher amp fuses where lower amp fuses should be used. A fire could result. "The roof of your house should last for many years. Keep the gutters and downspouts clear and unobstructed. Don't let tree limbs, leaves, balls and trash accumulate in the gutters. They will plug the downspout and cause the gutters to overflow. Outside water connections should .be turned off before cold weather sets in. Otherwise they will freeze, causing costly re- pairs. The shut-off valve usually is found inside the house, near the spot where pipes go through the exterior wall. With tight -fitting doors, be pa- tient. Don't be too quick to plane the edge. Wait for warm, dry weather, Perhaps by that time the door will have dried to proper size. Hot water heaters normally collect small quantities of scale and dirty water. Remove the dirty water regularly. A valve for this purpose can be found at the bottom of all hot water heaters, Use a pail to collect the dirty water. The tank will drain GINGERICH'SXatio steATING'ENGINEER. °owl' TOLERATE.

If your home has attic louvers` or louvers at the crawl space of the basement, don't obstruct the .openings. Louvers are there for one purpose: to ventilate your home. Keep them clear at all Limes, The windows of your home probably have been weather stripped. Despite this, cold panes can set up a cool air current. This air will feel as though it is coming from the outside. Storni sashes will minimize this condi- tion. And, now, a few special tips to Queen Mom: On tile floors, don't use ex- cessive amounts of water or wax until the tiles have been thor- oughly sealed and until the ad- hesive has set thoroughly. Walls 'and woodwork and other painted surfaces must be cleaned, of t course. But find ou about cleaning compound g first. Consult a recognized paint, hard- ware or department store for the correct compounds to use. All painted wood surfaces will last longer and keep their sheen and sparkle if they are regularly waxed. To the entire family: Your new home is your castle. Treat it and care for it royally! INE.CARRY A COMPLETE LINE OF , ,....
