A little planning is the secret. It can save you money in unused or wasted material or the nuisance of extra trips to purchase additional materials. QUICK AND EASY An acoustical suspen­ ded ceiling is one of the quickest a/id easiest ways to add new beauty, luxury and quiet to any room. The ceiling system engineered by Owens* Corning Fiberglas Cor­ poration can be installed as near as two inches to an existing ceiling or ceiling joists. What's more, the existing ceiling does not have to be leveled, no fancy carpentry is in­ volved and no special tools are needed. In ad­ dition. Fiberglas panels STEPFORD s JACK SON mm "DIRTY LITTLE BILLY* I MICHAEL X POLLARD 3 absorb up to 85 percent of noise striking the sur­ face. Panels are lightweight, washable and can be lif­ ted out of the grid for easy access to the overhead. GRID SUPPORT PANELS Fiberglas ceiling panels are supported by rnetal framing members which snap together into a gridwork. The grid is suspended by wires at­ tached to the existing ceiHng. SHARP PENCIL Your most important tool ts.a good, sharp pen­ cil. Sketch a diagram of the ceiling, indicating each panel and lighting ftxture. It's easiest to start with a piece of engineering graph paper available at most office supply stores -- the little squares already are marked off for you. One square should equal one square foot. MEASURE CAREFULLY Measure the room carefully. Remember, walls are not always straight or parallel even though they may appear to be. The more meas­ urements, the better. Fiberglas acoustical ceiling panels are available in 2' x 2' and 2' x 4' sizes and in several surface patterns. It's important to remember the decorator effects possible.

Lighting fixtures should be planned at this time and should be in­ dicated in the sketch. BALANCED LOOK IMPORTANT Balance the borders. For instance, if your room were 15 feet wide, it would be possible to use three 2' x 4' panels with border panels cut to one- and-one-half feet to span the distance. But border panels at room edges should be equal and as large as possible. The 15 ft. room would look • more attractive if two 2' x 4' panels were coupled with two border panels cut to three-and- or.e-half feet for a total of 15 feet. This installation also would require less grid material. ESTIMATE THE COST To estimate the cost, count the number of panels in the sketch, being certain to count border panels as whole panels. Add one-third to the cost of panels to estimate the cost of the grid system, suspension wires and screweyes. Your building material dealer can supply an exact cost estimate and installation tips that could save you time and money. Or. if you prefer, sim­ ply supply accurate measurements to your dealer. He can estimate the amount of material needed and help , you make the layout. After securing the materials needed, simply: 1. Nail the L-shaped wall angles along the sidewalls using a level for accuracy. 2. Fasten screweyes into overhead joists. 3. Attach suspension wires. Use a guide wire stretched between wall angles as a reference level. 4. Crimp suspension wires where they are to connect to the grid. 5. Install the grid. 6. Drop in the Fiberglas panels. One more important detail: there is very little mess to clean up af­ terward -- no sawdust, plaster dust or dust from cut panels. Fiberglas panels are easily cut with a knife -- no sawing needed. Easy to install, no mess afterward -- nothing but a beautiful, sound- absorbing ceiling to make you room more at­ tractive and livable.

West of Rt. 12 On Sullivan Lake Rd. South of Fox Lakei Booklet Offers Everything To Know About Roofing, Siding, Insulation 4 & Although by now most people know more than they probably ever wan­ ted to know about sex, compliments of Dr. Ruben and others, a few know very much about the biggest investment in their lives -- their homes. So, with today's inflation, and energy costs soaring, the experts at the Home Institute of Certain-teed Products Corporation felt it was high time for homeowners to get some straight facts on roofing, siding and insulation. Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Roofing, Siding and Residential Insulation is a 32-page, illustrated booklet, written by Mort Waters, editor of Family Handyman. It provides in-depth answers to homeowners questions on selecting, purchasing, in­ stalling, and maintaining roofing, siding and in­ sulation. Waters points out, for example, the fact that sun, not wind and rain, does the most damage to a roof. He notes that attic insulation projects can be completed by almost anyone without prior knowledge or experience. Interested homeowners can obtain these im­ provement tips, main­ tenance suggestions and valuable product in­ formation, by sending 25c to the Home Institute, Certain-teed Products Corporation, P.O.

On the impractical side... it was out of place in cash registers of the day; most drawers were designed to accomodate one's five'sand ten's. Also, visually it was easy to confuse with the five dollar bill or the one dollar bill, causing under­ standable apprehensions Additionally, earlier issues carried a confusing "legal tender" qualifier that im­ paired some people's con­ fidence. On the "bad luck" side there is a great deal of the curious to explore... Phytagoras was a philoso­ pher and one of the great mathematicians (532 B.C.) He was also a mystic and along with his startling dis­ coveries in mathmatics, he bequeathed much supersti­ tious lore about numbers. Borrowing from Pytha- goars, numberologists of the Middle Ages injected into languages a deep su­ perstition about the "evil of the number "2"...to il­ lustrate: there is the "two timer" and the "two faced person", neither can be trusted; then there is the "double crosser" and the "double dealer'^ both are treacherous. We have to be wary of the "duplicity" of others, and this word comes from Latin and French words "duplicitas" and "duplex" both of which relate to "two". Then there is the doubt we ex­ perience in dubious situ­ ations...we have to think "twice". And there is the word "deuce", , steming from the French "deux" and Latin "duos" both meaning "two" but "deu­ ce", Webster says, also means a plague or bad luck. To further the super­ stition vein, there were those who hastened to point out that the first "two" dollar bill (1862) bore the portrait of Alexander Ham­ ilton and he suffered the "ultimate" in bad luck... the loss of his life in a pistol duel with Aaron Burr (1804). Strange isn't it? But don't give it a second thought, the "two" dollar bill won't likely come back...not for a "couple" of years anyway. • n ru'u'u uULW.
