Almost half the women in the United States have jobs outside the home and each year more and more women go out to work. If you're a working woman who finds household chores taking up too much of your time, there is a more practical solution to your problem than hiring an upstairs maid, a wardrobe mistress and a cook; it's organization. Delegate! Here are some time-saving tips that can help you shorten the hours spent on house­ keeping: I.) Count on your family to help around the house. Keep a list of duties for them on a bulletin board in the kitchen where it's an easy reminder. A youngster can be re­ sponsible for picking up his toys; older children can be in charge of their rooms and also take turns setting and clearing the dinner table. Husbands can pick up and drop off drycleaning on their way home from work and Save During McHenry's Big Citywide ••• SALE July 13, 14 & 15 For Best Selection.

FRIDAY til 8:30 help with other chores, too. Efficient cuisine 2.) Plan ahead; decide on menus for an entire week and then buy all your groceries at once. Shop on a weekday night, when the stores are less crowded, and take your older children along to helpf* When you do cook, pre­ pare foods in large quantities; many soups, stews and cas­ seroles can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer and warmed for quick, nutritious meals--even by your "all thumbs" teenager. Stitch in time 3.) Don't turn little jobs into big ones. Fingerprint smudges and dirty spots are often cleaned more easily if you wipe them right away. For quick, effective clean-ups, use Glass'Plus* glass, appliance, and cabinet cleaner in every room of the house. Just spray this ver­ satile cleaner on all washable surfaces--windows, mirrors, chrome, countertops, plastic l a m p s a n d t a b l e s , appliances--and wipe with a clean cloth or damp sponge. (Remember to always dis­ connect small electrical appliances before cleaning.) Juftt a moment Spending a few extra min utes during the weik to han­ dle small jobs can make m a j o r c l e a n - u p s o n t h e weekends easier. 4.) An un made bed can make the entire bedroom look messy. Instead of the usual blanket and bedspread combination, try having your family use quilts. At night, just turn down the quilt and jump in; in the morning, sim­ ply smooth it out and fluJQTiip the pillows. Even a five-year old can take care of his own bed that way! Appliance economics According to the National Home Improvement Coun­ cil, homeowners about to in­ vest in appliances for their newly-remodeled kitchens are well-advised to consider investing in energy-saving models. For example, selecting a new refrigerator will most likely be a surprising experi- e n c e f o r t h e a v e r a g e homeowner. He'll find some amazing innovations, par­ ticularly power-saving fea­ tures and improved insula­ tion. One energy-saving model uses about a third less elec­ tricity than other models not equipped with its special thermostatically-controlled motor. While it is true that the amount of electricity consumed by the refrigerator each operating hour is a modest amount, it is also true that it is operated twenty- four hours around the clock, 365 days a year. < Even though frost-free re­ frigerators do use more kilowatts of energy annually than non-frost-free models, they'avoid the extra Energy drain resulting from frost ac­ cumulation. Today's power-saving re­ frigerators also preserve food longer during power failures, which become alarmingly more common each year. Operiitirtg savings in the long run compensate for the higher initial purchase price. • • • • . Few human beings like listening as well as
