painting “like a pro.”
This includes dipping only
the bottom third of the
bristles into paint to avoid
drips and splatters. When
splatters occur, remove them
immediately.
“When using latex paint,
excessive dripping results in

Attorney General
A desire for relief from the
8-to-5 treadmill and the
humdrum of daily life,
heightened by a nationwide
fear of population explosion,
is causing manyTexans to join
the “Great American Land
Rush.”
Aware that most of us
inherited our pioneer ances-
tors’ dream of a plot of land
to call our own, where the
grass is greener and the air is
sweeter, many legitimate
* ': Spring painters can do
'better work around the house
with several basic guidelines,
according to Patricia A.
'Bradshaw.
The housing and home
furnishings specialist, Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, Texas A&M University,
first suggested painting in a
room kept at 60-70 degrees to
permit smooth paint applica-
tion.
' “Also, the home painter can
'■cut drying time, fumes and

- -cross-ventilation.
"Before painting, remove
many furnishings as
'possible from the room, and
t cover remaining furnishings
'and floors with drip cloths or
• newspapers.
\ “Also, remove light-switch
and wall plug plates—they
Can be painted before rein-
-stallation on freshly painted
-walls."
- When freezing pork or any
other meat, wrap it so it’s
air-tight.
- Many meat markets will
wrap meat for customers on
request—using freezer-type
paper.
; Or the consumer can wrap
it at home—using a plastic-
laminated freezer paper.
a - For best quality, meat
9 should freeze solid within
eight hours. Hold it at less
than zero degrees F. through-
’ , out the storage period.
“IMMERSIBLE”
APPLIANCE CARE
- Don’t mistreat “immers-
ible” electrical appliances.
“These appliances can’t be
soaked for long period of
d time—or be run through a
dishwasher."
- Although their working
parts are sealed so water
can’t get in, prolonged expo-
sure to water may cause the
seal to leak. Damage to the
parts can result.

advertising, and too often, the
paying customer does not find
out how he has been bilked
until he finds the time for an
on-site visit. Then, it is too
late.
Under a federal law, a
developer working interstate
must register information
with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment (HUD). You can write
H.U.D. for a copy of the
registration. But that piece of
paper merely assures you
that the land is there, and is
owned by that company. It is
not a guarantee of the
advertising claims made.
The Texas Real Estate
Commission advises prospec-
tive land buyers always to
check out the developer’s
claims carefuly; talk to
long-time residents in the
area; make an on-site inspec-
tion, and—before you sign
anything, show the contract to
your attorney.
It’s good to have a dream.
It’s even better to make your
dream come true. But be as
certain as you can that it is a
dream—not a nightmare.
