Your Own Water System v -- Today's Choice! If you are planning to buy or build, look for a home with a private well and pump. All the water you want, right on your own property. No fussing with municipal restrictions or shortages. No "city water taste" or high water costs. Here are Ave facts you should know about your water system -- and the good life: You can choose where to live. With a private system, you aren't restricted to the main roads or the crowded subdivisions. You can have the home you want, exactly where you want it, with an assured water supply. There's plenty of water down there. In fact, according to the Ground Water Resources Institute, there's enough underground water in this country to keep us going for 7,800 years. Start with your well. ^ To get ' all the water you need, look to your experienced well drilling contractor. Follow'his recommendations. 3 Select a pump with plenty of pressure and capacity. Get the right pump for your particular needs. There are shallow-well jets ... deep-well jets ... and the increasingly popular submersible, which operates efficiently and quietly deep in your well. That way, you'll have all the water you want -- plenty of pressure -- for every outlet and water-using appliance, now and for many years to come. Plan your system for growth. Families everywhere are using more water every year. Home water use today is about 60 gallons a day per person. This will increase to 70 or 80 gallons per day in the next two decades. Be sure your system is large enough. Talk with your pump dealer. Your water system can do the job -- if you plan for it. Private systems are cheaper to install and operate. In most suburban areas, studies have shown that the cost of drilling a well and installing a pump is less than assessments for central systems. Year after year,, your only operating cost is pennies per day. A properly selected and maintained water system will last for many years!

They work well with wood, paper, cloth, leather, cardboard or cork. In use, they set fast, provide a strong bond and are neither toxic nor flammable. Typical uses include scrapbook paste-ups, package sealing, woodworking (particularly chair rungs and legs), upholstery patching and patching wood veneers. White glues do not work well with metals, common rubbers or many other nonporous materials such as plastics. Water, high humidity or heat may tend to weaken bonds. 1 Conceit seems to be nature's gift to small souls. Plumbing Is WW On the Move ^ ^ Outdoor living is fast becoming the favorite summer pastime -- so much so that many people now eat, relax, entertain and play in their backyards. All this is causing plumbing to move outdoors, the Plumbing-IJeating-Cooling Information Bureau points out. - An entertainment sink with hot and cold running water on the patio is a prime example. It gives kitchen convenience right in the yard. Sticky fingers can be washed in a jiffy. A glass of water is only an arm's reach away. Dishes and cooking utensils can be washed on the spot. The sink is a big help, too", when it comes time to clean the patio area. Another major outdoor convenience is a drinking fountain installed at "child level," so youngsters and their friends can all get the drinks of water they want without running in and out of the kitchen. An infra-red heater removes the chill from the patio in early spring and late fall, extending the season for backyard fun and leisure. For most people, talking a pound is easier than thinking an ounce. JUST THE THING TF WEAR AROUND TH£ HOUSE A State Farm Homeowners Policy.
