When it comes time to consider the rental or purchase of an apartment or house, study these timely signals, Buy What You Can Afford Many a dream home has turned into a financial nightmare because costs weren't calculated correctly. In addition to the down payment, consider the money required for preliminary and closing costs, mortgage payments, taxes, deeds, insurance, utilities and upkeep. Next, add the expenses for furnishings, appliances and landscaping. Then total up your -monthly housing costs. If you can meet your monthly housing expenses comfortably within your income, and still have enough left over for food, clothing, medical expenses, transportation and savings, then , you can afford your dream house. Look Around A home is a major investment. When shopping around, check locations and compare neighborhoods, Ideally, the house should be accessible to transportation, schools, churches, shopping, recreation facilities and medical services, Check to see if the sidewalks, street lights, sewers and curbs are installed and paid for. ‘Look at the building site, too, Quality of the soil, drainage, and exposure to wind, sun and shade are important considerations all year around. Study for Soundness Both brand new and older dwellings should be checked for soundness of construction, (A spanking coat of paint sometimes can conceal shoddy materials and poor workmanship.) Check important items such as the foundation, water supply and sewage disposal, chimney, roof gutters, heating system, electricity, insulation and _ storage space, Take a good look at the walls and ceilings, too.

Veteran Democratic Senator Hugh Burns of Fresno was reelected speaker pro tempore of the upper house and I was again named to the Senate Rules Committee, Regulations prohibit members of the rules committee from, holding committee chairmanships, At this writing, other Senate committee assignments have not been made, but it appears that I will again be named to the Finance and Governmental Efficiency Committees, The first few weeks of any session are spent in jockeying and shaking down the Legislature and this one will be no exception. But it appears now _ that certain issues will have high priority for the attention of the legislators. First on the list, if the volume of my mail is any indication, is a revamping of the State's tax structure with the aim of providing property tax relief. Everyone seems to agree on the need for property tax relief, but there is a wide . variance of opinion as to how this should be accomplished. A step in this direction was made at the last session when legislation was approved setting aside $155: million for property tax relief. How this money is to be funneled into the local level remains the key question with which we are going to have to wrestle, A. Alan Post, the state's chief legislative analyst, put the problem in these terms recently in reply to queries from the Joint —_— Committee, "Public attitudes on prope: tax relief will vary directly writh the ability to identify the magnitude of individual benefits: The tax consciousness of the permanancy of the relief also will depend upon whether it is funneled directly. or indirectly to a broad base of taxpayers," ~ In other words, those seeking relief are going to look at any plan with the attitude "what's in it for me". How long any relief plan will last will depend Union Hill School Funds Are Approved WASHINGTON, D. C. —Congressman Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson, representing Nevada County, was advised by U.S. Commissioner of Education, Harold Howe II, that the Union Hill Elementary. School District will receive $2,226.00 under Public Law 874, as amended, which provides financial assistance for schools in Federally affected areas, Burle C. Shelton made application for the assistance and he has been advised that a check should reach the school within the next week or so. McCUTCHEN RETIRES A, Allen McCutchen, in charge of personnel management for the Forest Service in California, retired on Dec, 30, 1967, Forest Service Regional Forester J.W. Deinema announced today.

George Miller of Martinez, has already introduced one school measure, Senate Bill 1, by Miller, is essentially the same as his SB 311, which created an enormous amount of contorversy and was finally defeated last session. The new Dill, like the last, gives local school boards a greater range of discretion in formulating their own curriculum, This measure is sure to create more fireworks this sesSion, but seems to be a sound move toward giving more local control to the school districts, Next week I will report on some of my legislative plans and discuss the prospects for other big issues in the present legislative session, Ask Your Home Advisor _ ‘Lemon Pie Filling”’. Q. Butterscotch and lemon pies that seemed stiff enough during the cooking of the filling, became runny as they stood, Could you tell me what causes this and how it can be prevented? A. Many times when a pie filling or. pudding is made with ~ acid fruit juices such as lemon > or cherry pie, it will appear thick enough when made but will become thin when it stands, This is especially true when the mixture is cooked repidly, The starch is hydrolyzed by the acid of the fruit or, in other words, the starch is changed to a dextrin which is one of the sugars. When this happens, it loses its. capacity to thicken. a liquid, When the filling is cooked rapidly, the mixture seems thick during the preparation but as it cooks the hydrolysis or changing of the starch to sugar takes place and it becomes thin, To prevent this happening, it is important to use a larger proportion of starch or flour than would be used for other pie fillings such as chocolate cream pie, Then don’t cook it too rapidly, By cooking it less rapidly you permit ‘the hydrolysis to take place during the cooking and you can judge oe thickness of the filling beter, Many homemakers prefer the fresher flavor of a lemon pie when the lemon juice andrind is added after the starch and egg have been thoroughly cooked, But in this method also, it is important that the correct proportion of cornstarch or flour be used for the amount of lemon juice which is added in or. der to keep the filling nice and thick, ‘FRANCES M, HADDOCK, Home ‘Advisor :
