Keep attic cool, house comfortable with automatic roof ventilators Tests by the home build­ ing industry show that proper ventilation can re­ duce attic air temperatures by as much as 50-degrees from levels commonly reaching 120 and higher. To the homeowner, this means cooler living are^s, and more efficient and fess costly air conditioning. A new high capacity pow­ er roof ventilator by Leigh offers the additional advan­ tage of automatic opera­ tion, thermostatically con­ trolled within the attic temperature range desired. Automatic control fea­ tures of earlier units were restricted to the extremes pre-set by the manufac­ turer, and frequently were not the most efficient for actual climate variations. Installation of a Leigh ventilator is well within the capabilities of the average home handyman using the instructions provided. An 11-inch square cut through the roofing surface between rafters, mounting of the power unit and vent, a little roofing cement to insure against possible leakage, two jiffy wire connections, setting of the thermostat, This home has a cool attic! Leigh power roof ventilators ex­ haust trapped hot air, keeping living areas comfortably cooler and cutting air conditioning costs with automatic control of attic temperatures. Installation is easy, operation economical and quiet. and the job's done. The new Leigh model 409, consisting of a low silhou­ ette dual baffle aluminum ventilator and the power unit, is now available at building supply centers. The suggested retail price is $53. An automatic clothes dryer can save both time and money. It enables you to do the laundry more often, thus cutting down on the need for extensive wardrobes and large quantities of linens. And Lady Kenmore dryers with special cycles give knits and permanent press garments the care they need, so ironing can be avoided.

If you're cutting corners on the family budget these tight-money days, consider buying an automatic clothes dryer. This is one instance when a major in­ vestment will actually save you money in the long run -- on family wardrobe ex­ penses. With an automatic dryer installed conveniently in your home you can dry laundry any time, regard­ less of the weather or time of day. This means you can wash more ^frequently. More frequent, smaller loads not only save you time and lots of laundry drudg­ ery, they enable your fam­ ily to manage with fewer clothes and household lin­ ens. Over the years, this can add up to a big saving. And because growing chil­ dren can wear the same garments more often, they'll wear them out instead of outgrowing them. You'll get your money's worth from the clothes you do buy and give away fewer perfectly good garments. To profit most from your automatic dryer, home economists at Sears, Roe­ buck and Co. suggest buying garments made of washable knits or permanent press fabrics. These require little or no ironing when laundered ac­ cording to hang tag in­ structions and tumble dried correctly. Many Kenmore dryers are equipped with permanent press and knit cycles that stop the dryer automati­ cally when these special fabrics are just dry. To prevent shrinkage and harshness, avoid overdry- ing and prevent wrinkling, it is advisable to remove garments as soon as the dryer stops.
