PAGE NTST3 Dollars Spent for Home Modernization Pass Through Many Hands YORKERS. DEAL' i ALL ENJOY SHARE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. rEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY. MARCH 5. 1935. Repair Projects Set in Mo tion Lengthy Chain of Benefits With Thousands Participating Says Expert The modernization dollar circu- j lat through many channels follow ing tha Inception of a repatr project, j with the attending benefits to bust- j ness. Industry and labor as a whole. ! E. L. Gilbert, eastern editor of Amer- : lean Builder magazine, points out. Says Mr. Gilbert: "The contractor who gets the money first, divides It about equally between local merchants who furnish materials and labor, the building products merchants who are dealers tn lumber, hardware, paint, electric I wire and fixtures, plumbing goods, 1 sand and gravel, cement and mortar. : roofing materials, brick, glara and other Items, deduct a small amount for their profit. Workers Get Share "At the same time these merchants employ clerks, stenographers, truck drivers, bookkeepers, sales people and miscellaneous workers, all of whom receive wages, salaries or commis sions. In some cases local dealers pass the remaining money along to Job bers or wholesalers who employ other office, traveling and shipping room workers. The balance of the money eventually reaches the manufacturers who employ thousands of factory hands, office workers, traveling sales men and others. The manufacturers, of course, must pass part of the money they receive along to opera tors of timber camps, mines, quar ries, and other manufacturers who produce such basic products as steel. Iron, gypsum, lime, wood-pulp, etc. Thousands Benefit "At the end of Us trip through the business world the money spent for home repairs and modernization, for instance, will be found to have brought a bit of cheer and well-being Into the lives of many, many thou sands of other people in all kinds of business." Transportation also gets Its share of the modernization dollar, Mr. Gil bert points out, thereby helping to pay the wages of railway, steamship and other common carrier workers. Also aided are the businesses not us ually associated with building at all, men as the great fire Insurance com p&nles, banks and brokers, lawyers and publishers and others Indirectly serving the building Industry. STEPS OF HOUSEWIFE REDUCED BY MODERN PLANS FOR KITCHEN Science has entered the kitchen. In the planning and arrangement of that psrt of the home in which the housewife spends so much of her time, architects and home economists have accomplished much In recent years, wJth the saving of time and steps as their objective. The poorly located sink or refrig erator may add two or three tps for the housewife each time she uses them, or the lack of cupboard and work space at certain point tn the kitchen might easily double the labor entailed In the preparation of a sin gle meal. In one year this would b comparable to preparing and clearing some 3.000 meala Instead of the aver age 1.905. The best planned kitchen have the three major piece of equipment refrigerator, sink and range eo ar ranged with work space, that steps are reduced to a minimum. Entering the kitchen from the out side, the refrigerator should be flrt. then a work ?pace with the sink and drip board next In line. Another work spaoe should separate this from the range, snd it irlght be a good plan to have still another work space between the range and the dining room door. If the outjde door and dl nine -room door are close together, going through the kitchen will not interfere with work. This, however, 1 not always possible, and when it la necessary to separate the line of equipment wltn a door, create a work upsce by the iso lated piece If that Is possible. Sep arate the range snd sink rather than the sink and refrigerator. Work spares can be built-in cab! net with shelves above, or they can be small work tAbiex, Tne placement of smaller equip ment in logical places will also save step. Staple s'ipplles and ua uten slla should be at the refrUerator work space. Tea. coffee, measuring spoon pot, pans and coffee pot should be in the work space. Dlhcs. etc, at the sink. This kitchen arrangement can eaaily be placed in a room of ten feet by twelve or nine by fourteen leaving ample space for a desk and chair where receipt and menu books can be kept and meal p.anned.
