Fabric-covered floors for a child’s room or sewing nook
Kay Strassburg of the University of Vermont suggests fabric floors as a playful finish. Choose gingham or paisley, buy extra material for waste, and roll sections with glue. After laying, trim edges, vacuum stray threads, seal with two coats of shellac and six to seven coats of urethane varnish for a durable surface.

United Press International reports a cautious midwestern view that beef prices may hold near 1975 levels in 1976 with retail choice cuts averaging about 1.50 to 1.60 dollars per pound. Iowa experts predict more beef on the market despite uncertainty about production costs, land fees, and meat supply. Texas extension economists note a renewed fed cattle run as feedlots fill, balancing higher costs with steady packer prices.
