Feb. 23 • NO LAYAWAYS File tapes away easily The recording buff who enjoys making his or her own tapes quickly discovers the need for some sort of filing system to keep everything in order and easily retrievable upon demand. One way to assure this is to number all tapes used, then keep a running file on index cards of everything that has been taped, noting tape number, plus the side on which the song is to be found, and the position it holds on that side. Keeping a notebook, list­ ing the pieces on each tape in onier. is an easy way of fol­ lowing the music that has been recorded, when you play it back at a later date. Riverside Retail Outlet 1402 N.

CAREY Appliance SALES ft SERVICE Correct chain saw helps homeowners Almost any homeowner's checklist of fall chores will include woodcutting. There are fruit and shade trees to be pruned, shrubs and bushes to be cut back, a winter's supply of firewood to be cut and perhaps a con­ struction job or two. Homeowners with limited time will be using indoor and outdoor power tools in the fall more than any other time of year. For the well- equipped home handyman, the list will include a light­ weight, high performance gasoline chain saw. In selecting a chain saw, as is the case with most power tools, the trick is to pick one that fits the woodcutter's needs, according to the woodcutting experts at McCulloch, a leading saw manufacturer. Engine size is a good way to gaugelKsaw's perfor­ mance. The compact, light, two-cycle engines are about the most powerful for their size a homeowner is likely to encounter. About two cubic inches of displacement is all that's necessary for home woodcutting jobs. Length of the guide bar and chain is another basis for selection. On consumer models, these range from 10 to 16 inches. The cutting attachment should be selected to handle the user's largest normal job. For unusually large jobs, like bucking up that old elm tree, buyers should remember that they can cut from both sides of the wood. Safety equipment is an­ other important criteria for saw selection. A prospective buyer should ask his dealer to explain how various manu­ facturers' saws help reduce hazards. McCulloch's new Power Mac series of home-use saws includes a safety package of wraparound chain brake/ handguard to help reduce the hazard of kickback, a muffler shield to prevent accidental burns, a throttle latch so that the saw can be started in the safest position, a safety trig­ ger that prevents accidental acceleration, and a chain catcher to help prevent a broken chain from lashing back at the operator. The Power Macs have 2.1 CID engines and bar lengths ranging from 14 to 16 inches. McCulloch's Auto Sharp semi-automatic chain sharp­ ening system is included on the Power Mac 320 and 340. For a manufacturer's sug­ gested retail price of $149.95, the Power Mac 310 also in­ cludes electronic ignition for easier starting and better peak performance and an anti-vibration system that makes the saw easier and more comfortable to use. No matter what kind of chain saw is selected for use at home, operators should spend plenty of time studying the owner's instruction man­ ual before the first cut is made. Moving into smaller space presents storage problems Few people who have lived in houses all their lives are aware of the storage prob­ lems faced by apartment- dwellers. The average apartment is short on closets, and those they have are often small and cramped. It's all too easy in an apartment to let things co­ agulate "out of the way," which avoids the problem, without solving it. The trick is to learn to adapt yourself to your living space, and make the most of what you've got. In the kitchen, hang your frequently used tools on the walls, with an eye to both practicality and design. You might want to consider in­ vesting in a rolling cart with several shelves to hold a wide variety of items. In other rooms, choose furniture that can serve more than one function whenever possible. A chest, of wicker or wood, can be used to store towels and bed linens, and works beautifully as a coffee table. In a small apartment, bookshelves can be used as room dividers, and if you are a bibliophile, you can double your shelf space by lining the shelves with books in two rows, library fashion.
