Drop in plas- tic drawer organizers to hold smaller items like fuses, soc- kets and washers. • Eliminate an unneces- sary assortment of clening Maintaining a healthy and clean-looking lawn in the fall of the year can be quite a chore. While the grass con- tinues to grow, your lawn be- comes covered with leaves which need to be removed by the time-consuming task of raking, bagging and hauling them away. One alternative is to mow through the leaf accumula- tion, and with present con- ventional discharge mowers, rake, bag and dispose of the .,ass clippings and leaf re- ;, 0(' • Another alternative is to rake, bag and haul away the leaves before mowing. This means still another round of raking, bagging and hauling, since with side discharge mowers the long clippings stay on top of the lawn and turn an unsightly brown while tending to stunt new growth. In both cases, even if your mower has an attached bag, the messy chore) remains of emptying the bag and dispos- ing of the grass clippings or leaves. With its enclosed mower deck and multi-pitched blade, the Mulching Mower cuts and re-cuts the grass and at the same time chops a dry leaf cover into a fine mulch which is then blown down into the lawn. These particles then quickly decompose, return- ing valuable nitrogen to the As the brisk days of au- tumn take families away from the great outdoors and back home to where the heart is, handymen head straight for the toolbox to get the house in shape for the cold weather sit-in. From adding a long put-off game room to routine tasks like putting up storm win- dows, handymen should first clean up their own work- shops or toolbenches in order to efficiently tackle home improveinent jobs. For example, clearing away clutter in the shop area provides an open, non- confining space in which to work. Organizing tools keeps equipment within easy reach and helps avoid unnecessary delays like searching for the #10 wrench last used to tighten a bicycle wheel.

For the homeowner this all means less fertilizing, less work, the savings in the cost of leaf bags and, of course, plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful autumn days! aids by stocking one multi- purpose cleaner.

The 'gentle feldspar and soap formula leaves a protec- tive lubricating film that helps retard rust, and it can even' be used to prepare wood surfaces before paint- ing for a smooth finish. • Install shelves above the work space to keep paint cans, putty, oil cans and power tools up and away, yet always within easy reach. • Get organized in the ga- rage and toolshed, too.
