Solving Storage Problems
By Ava D. Rodgers
Extension Home Furnishings

Ii a lack of enough storage
space one of your pet peeves?
If so you have plenty of com
pany, but that doesn't help
much does it? Actually, many
of us have more space than we
realise if we would use it care
fully. A little time spent in or
ganizing space and using avail
able accessories can be golden
moments.
Storage is a challenge for
every family member and
everyone can help solve the
storage problem by following
thebe basic principles of stor
age.
Store items where they will
first be used. Be it kitchen or
bedroom or whatever room,
some items are always used in
one place. Store tiem there.
Coffee pots need to oe near the
water supply, silver and china
near the table and lipstick',
comb and mirror on a cbesser
or dressing table. Think about
where you use an item and
store it near by.
Stored items should be easy
to locate. Drawers can be di
vided into sections appropriate
for holding linens or silver in
the kitchen area or gloves and
lingerie in the bedroom. Boxes
on shelves should have a
“peek-through” or else be
clearly and correctly labeled
as to their content. Be sure that
everything is easy to remove
or return to its accustomed
place: otherwise your planning
may be in vain.
Group like articles together.
All jewelry could be kept in
one box in one place. The same
is true with gloves, hats, sheets
(sizes and types together), pur
ses, etc. Place the articles used
most often in the easiest places
to reach. “Easy reach” means
a place not so high you must
stretch or so tow you must
bend to reach it. Save out-of
the-way storage for seasonal

| items or those used only once
5: or twice a year such as Christ
mas decorations and camping
: equipment.
’ i Try to arrange items so one
■ i will not need to be moved in
> 1 order to reach another. Step
' shelves can be used on deep
! closet shelves to avoid stack
• ing and packing items together.
■ These little shelves that fit on
top of shelves work well for
। clothes closets, linens, canned
goods or china. Not only do
they make your work load
lighter, they make storage saf
er. The same idea works in
closets with double rods. Blou
ses. coats, skirts and pants can
be hung one above the other to
practically double the space.
Os course, plan to store heavy
items on or near the floor.
Typewriters, portable machines
or vacuum cleaners should be
stored on the floor for easier
access.
Have you given your closets
the “two-year test” lately? This
is an easy one to give and
many of us would utterly fail.
Just check the number of items
that have not been used, worn
or cleaned for two years. When
these have been discarded or
given away, you will be amaz
ed at the amount of storage
space you now have to organ

Ford Magazine
Features Georgia
In Current Issue
Atlanta and surrounding
Georgia countryside offer the
visitor a wide array of memor
able sights and experiences,
well-known author Pete Mar
tin writes in the current issue
of Ford Times magazine.
In a cover article, “Georgia
Holiday,” Mr. Martin “calls
on” the capital city and de
scribes the dining, sight-seeing,

Use of Interstate Highway Funds
For Other Purposes Charged
ATLANTA — Motorists of
Georgia have paid more than
$540,056,000 in federal high
way user taxes since the start
of the Interstate Highway Pro
gram seven years ago, but 36.6
percent of that money was not
spent on highways, according
fishing and other activities
found in and around it.
A full-color painting of
famed Peachtree Street by
Paul Chelko of Atlanta sets the
scene on the magazine’s cover,
while other reproductions of
watercolors by Logan Bleckley
111, also of Atlanta, illustrate
the story.
Martin writes: “There may
be other places like Atlanta—
Richmond. Virginia, and Jack
sonville, Florida, are not un
like it—but nowhere else I’d
wager lies within a weekentfs
journey of a bouquet of goodies
such as man-made lakes, vistas
of forest and streams, Stone
Mountain, eating places like
Aunt Fanny's Cabin, the graci
ousness and architecture of
Albany, the Civil War Cyclo
rama and Callaway Gardens.”
The author, a native South
erner, describes such attrac
' tions as a trip to Stone Moun
i tain with its scultpure of Rob
■ ert E. Lee, the view from atop
Brasstown Bald, a ski lodge
on the edge of the Great
t Smokies, panning for gold
| around Dahlonega, and unfor
gettable Southern cooking.
One of the more memorable
i side trips on his brief “Geor
gia Holiday” was a journey to
the top of the state’s highest
peak, 4,784-foot Brasstown
Bald.
“Behind me was nothing but
I wilderness seemingly untouch
ed by man,” he relates. “The
Bald Mountains are the last
i appearance of the Appalachian
' Chain, and a few miles beyond |
them is a great drop-off that
a million years ago was the
shore of an inland sea. Beyond
that is a great flat plain. It is
i no place to think small.”
On his trip to the famed
: garden spot in Harris County,
' the traveling writer best known
for his “I call on—” articles
I says:
"Here a practical philan-
I thropist called Cason Callaway
| carved from the red hills a
happy Eden which he fondly
believed would survive until
I the end of time,
“Callaway's most engaging
notion,” he continues, “was
that honeymooners should
spend their first days getting
acquainted in a place of quiet
beauty, undistracted by the
glare of neon and the blast of
bands. Accordingly he has built
a number of cottages complete
with tiny kitchens, where
brides can learn to scramble
eggs and brew morning cof
fee.”
Martin's Ford Times route
includes an exploration of Lake
Spivey's mile-long beach and
Lake Lanier's narrow’s and
coves which Georgians find
ideal for sailing and houseboat
ing.
In a related article. Martin
describes “a visual and emo
tional adventure” to Atlanta's
Civil War Cyclorama.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
to Ken H. McCullough, Chair
man, Petroleum Council of
Georgia.
“U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads figures show that be
tween July 1, 1956, and De
cember 31, 1962, the federal
government placed only $342,-
566.000 of the highway user
taxes paid by this state's mo
torists into the Highway Trust
Fund.” he said. “The remain
ing $197,490,000 was spent on
projects having no connection
with roads,” he noted.
“Federal highway user tax
revenues in other states met
a similar fate, with the result
that U. S. motorists have paid
sll billion more than the
amount which was spent for
roads,” he said.
“Motorists now are paying
twice as high a federal gaso
line tax as they were before
<he Interstate Highway Pro
gram began,” McCullough
pointed out. The total state
federal gasoline tax in Georgia
now amounts to 11.2 cents a
gallon, which includes a 3 per
cent sales tax.
“It is unfair to continue to
collect gasoline and other taxes
at these high rates when 40
percent of the national total,
about $l.B billion a year, is
withheld from the highway
program,” he said.
Some states also deprive
their own highway programs
of revenue by diverting state
highway user taxes to non-road
projects, McCullough pointed
out. Across the nation, this
practice results in a loss to
highways of S4OO million a
year. In fact in Georgia each
year, over $18,000,000 collect
ed in license tag revenues is
placed in the general fund.
Voters of 28 states, he added,
have adopted amendments to
their state constitutions to pro-
I tect highway funds against
raids for non-highway pur
poses.
