The G. I. loan programs, boo
sted by the participation of Post-

with a face value of nearly $3.4

Today 1 s bargains may well prove
to be tomorrow’s bonanzas.
Construction costs can also be
held in check without depriving
your home of quality, individu
ality or livability. For example,
the use oi wood trussed rafters
for the roof structure saves time,
effort and material. These en
gineered lumber components
clear span the home and relieve
Interior partitions of load
bearing responsibility. As a re
sult, there can be fewer par
titions, larger rooms and more
space for family living.
According to the Southern Pine
Association, structural sound
ness is the foremost assurance
that your home will age grace
fully and Increase in value as
time passes. This in turn de
pends on the quality of framing
lumber that holds the house to
gether.
The three main essentials of
quality in framing are: 1) a spe
cies with high natural strength
and nail-holding abiltiy 2) an ap
propriate grade 3) proper sea
soning and pre-shrinking before
surfacing to final size.
When the framework is formed
with lumber that meets these
standards, the house is protect
ed against premature deterior
ation, violent storms and excess
ive maintenance and your invest
ment is likewise secured.

Simple Steps For
Sunday Suppers
Here’s an idea for Sunday
night suppers, when the whole
family gamers around the TV,
not hungry enough for a full
meal, but ready for occasional
nibbles. This menu features
tempting and appetite-pleasing
snacKs that can be prepared
ahead of time and kept ready
on a buffet: tomato juice, in
dividual bite-sized ham nibbiers
and freshly made popcorn.
Everyone can help himself as
soon as his stomach (or a com
mercial) reminds him it’s time
to eat. With the help of some
electric aluminum utensils,
everything can be reduced to
four easy steps.
Step One allows Mom to pre
pare the deviled ham spread at
ner convenience earlier in the
day.
Step Two is done after the
last dishes from the noon meal
are washed and dried. Set out:
a warming tray that will keep
the snacks warm; an automatic
corn popper — the kind that
promises the corn will be ready
soon after the utensil is plug
ged in; glasses and napkins
(no plates needed, everything’s
bite-sized i.
Step Three happens ten min
utes before the movie begins.
The spread is applied to the
toasted and buttered bread
rounds along with a variety of
toppings and set out on the
warming tray.
Step Four: Plug in the appli
ances and you’re finished!
P.S. If you’ve already seen
this week’s Sunday night
movie, you can plan the same
supper and pull out some of
your home movies. It’s nice
to spend a family evening to
gether, and even nicer when
you lighten the cook’s chores
this way.
