Summer's but tough While the prospect of the coming Summer is pleasant to almost everyone, it's the toughest season of the year on your refrigerator. Warmer weather means more frequent trips to the refrigerator for ice or cool drinks, more opening and shutting of the door and more work for the motor and compressor. That's why more refrigerators fail dur­ ing the fitmnmer than any other season. If you're beginning to worry about your old re­ frigerator, consider replac­ ing it now with a new 20.8-cubic-foot deluxe top- mount model TBF-21CR by General Electric. In addition to frost-free convenience, this new unit from OE features "Power Saver" to help you keep the cost of operation down. "Power Saver" is a switch to let you control heaters which prevent the unit from "sweating" under high humidity conditions. When humidity is low, such as in air conditioned homes, the heaters can be turned off, saving power and money. Other practical features Include Porta-BlnT* door PAGE 12-McI pleasant for people on old refrigerators shelves to,, let you adjust your door storage to accom- . modate tall bottles and other unusual items, smoke- tinted, see-thru meat keep­ er and vegetable crispers to help you find what you're looking for quickly, and roll­ out wheels for easy move­ ment in and out from the wall for cleaning, painting or retrieving lost toys. Like most other OE no- frost refrigerators, the TBF- 21CR can be equipped with an optional automatic ice maker, and is factory-wired for Rapid Electrical Diag­ nosis. Rapid Electrical Diagno­ sis is a service feature which enables OE service techni­ cians to check the main electrical components Surveys reveal women want better homes Three recent surveys have reportedly indicated that American women almost unanimously would like their homes to be more attractive, more functional and more up-to-date. This apparent dissatisfac­ tion stems from the extreme idealization of the American home and not because of any lack of decorating abil­ ity, according to one of the surveys. Because the home is held in such high esteem "as a place which is to be warmly loved and intensively en­ joyed" -- in actuality it seldom meets the home- maker's expectations, one survey said. /CMB6RASS?

TO keep maintenance of these, articles to a minimum and to eliminate much of the ironing, Sears laundry experts recommend that you avoid overdrylng. Knits, corduroys, quilted fabrics and those with nO-iron fin­ ishes should be removed from the dryer when just barely dry to the touch. To test for dryness, re­ move one item from the warm, moist air of the dryer and hold it against your cheek. The fabric should feel just dry, with heavier 'seams and trims slightly damp. These items will re­ tain their shape better this way and they can be smoothed and folded, put on a hanger or laid flat to finish (hying. Slipcovers can be put back on the furniture this time. But busy homemakers -have better things to do than stand around waiting to test a load for dryness.- To simplify this task, Sears has introduced a new large- capacity Lady Kenmore dryer with an exclusive in­ tegrated circuit that auto­ matically stops the tum­ bling when the load reaches the dryness you select. Dur­ ing the final cool-down por­ tion of the cycle, a finishing light glows to let you know the load is dry. An adjust­ able end-of-cycle signal buzzes when the dryer stops. If you will be away from - the dryer when it stops, a Wrinkle Guard control can be set to tumble the load for 10 seconds every five min­ utes until you return. This will help avoid having wrin- . kles set in. The perfect laundry-mate for this fabric-protecting dryer is a large capacity Lady Kenmore washer. It has 10 cycles, including set­ tings for permanent press, knits, delicates and wash­ able woolens, as well as for regular fabrics. With these new large-size Lady Kenmores close at hand, you can forget about laundry "problems" -- the machines do the work just the way you want it done.
