Short Rest Periods Pay
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Home making Editor
iviost everyone has little helps
and ideas about making house
keeping easier. All of us want to
know the best and easiest way to
do things. Most of us do things
diffrently, but everyone can im
prove and find new and easier
ways of doing some of their tasks.
Some of us just naturally make
things difficult for ourselves, and
do not try to save work.
Some folks never plan or look
ahead. One week may be filled
with leisure time and the next
week one can be overwhelmed
with what’s to be done. Let’s
learn to organize our time.
Short rest periods wall pay out
on busy days, although you may
not think so. Fifteen-minute rest
© periods each morning and after
noon make more difference than
you think. And the busier you are
the more you need them..
Many people spend needless
time ironing sheets, dish
towels, underwear, pajamas
and such items that don’t really
need to be ironed. No one will
be the worse for it if they
aren’t.
Some of us never learn to cut
® square biscuits instead of round
ones, saving ourselves time, re
rolling and work. Today’s bride
can use all those casseroles she
o was given by cooking, serving
and storing in them, thus saving
a lot of extra labor all the way
around.
° #Use a service cart or large tray
to save endless steps in food pre
paration, mixing and cleaning.
Try to use your head to save
yourself endless hours of extra
work that never needed to be
done in the first place.
Perhaps your kitchen needs re
arranging. In the main, canned
goods, seasoning, platters, kettle
lids, and such are more usefully
stored next to the stove and will
save steps. Store utensils, and
supplies that you will use at the
sink, either near or under it, and
knives, and such things used
there should be stored next to it,
too.
Have a mixing center and store
everything used for this proce
dure at the center—floor, spices,
bowls, baking pans, flavorings,
. baking powder. A little experi
mentation ./ill show you how to
suit your storage arrangement
for your kitchen, you may want
to change a few things, as time
goes along. Have things handy as
possible. Sit down to do any work
that you can, preparing vege
tables, ironing, mending, and
such.
Try to have the requisite ar
ticles for your kitchen. Get
good tools that will last over a
long period of time and then
take care of them. Have the
knives sharp, a can opener that
works, and some of the little
extra helpful gadgets if pos
sible.
Don’t wear uncomfortable, old
dress shoes for housework. Have
sensible, good-looking, well fit
ting everyday shoes that save
your feet and are easy to keep up.
If your feet are comfortable you
won’t become nearly as tired.
Your everyday clothing should
be sensible and of a type that is
easy to wash and iron. Your dress
es should be comfortable.
Take some pride in your ap
pearance about your home. Don’t
go about straggling and unkempt
for the very thought of it and
somebody coming will make you
tired. You’ll feel better if you
look better and that’s a fact.
