Windows Add in both light and afford a view. Ventilation, important in every room, is particularly crit- ical in an area like the kitchen. Today's housewife has little use for windows that stick and bind over the kitchen sink, and with modern Casements and Fiexivents, there is little rea- son she can't have fingertip operation with any window in her kitchen. (This holds for the rest of her home, too.) Old screen porches can be a gold mine for remodeling builders. In miany cases, the ad- dition of year-round windows and a heat source will give a family the extra room they want and need. Towels Provide Diverting Note. All of us havet o consider the economics of remodeling. Many can afford tearing down and building up again . . . yet there are many who can't, but still want to create a new and dif- ferent look. In a kitchen, it's amazing what some new towels will do! ADD SPRIGHTLY COLOR to a newly remodeled kitchen, economically, with gay cur- tains, and with accessories such as the towels and pot They can add a handsome dash of diverting detail, and prove that skillful choices can work within the limitations of the budget. Once thought of merely as functional items, 'owels and their counterparts can now be had in a range of clear, fresh colors which revitalize quickly holder shown above in the pert homespun design "Calico Garden." Dishcloths, toaster covers and aprons to match are also available. THE: OSHAWA TIMES,. Fridey,. April 24,1964 93 and easily. And, they are 'so much more than thirsty bits of terry. To select a long - wearing towel, there are three quality elements to inspect . . . the un- derweave; the loops; and the selvages. The underweave is the backbone of the towel and should be securely woven. Loops should be close enough together so the underweave is not readily seen. Selvages take hard strain, so they should be tightly woven. : Terry is so easy to care for too. It goes right into the wash- ing machine, and never needs to be ironed. To assure always having a fresh, clean towel for the job, it's well to keep two sets handy to the kitchen sink. One: set can be earmarked for drying hands and the other can be used for drying dishes, Dish towels, cloths' and potholders should be bleached occasionally to remove stubborn stains. Also, it's smart to hang them outdoors for drying. The. sun and air will help te sweeten them. Terry towels need not be limited te just drying dishes and hands, either. Considering the colorful designs these days, they are worthy of finer things. For example, towels can be turned into splendid curtains for the kitchen or even the eat- ing area of the kitchen, Even the amateur seamstress can, by hand or'with a sewing machine, stitch up the single seam re- quired for the curtain rod. In many cases, four towels, used cafe style, are adequate for one window. If more full- ness is desired, three can be Glamour Given To Bathrooms According to Webster, the word "'vanitory" doesn't exist. But don' make that statement to the average homeowner or you'll find yourself in one whale of an argument, In recent years, vanitories haye come to be not only dis- tinctive, but also essential<home features, reflecting the in- creased emphasis on glamor and usefulness in the bathroom of modern Americana. Formica Corporation, which created the term '"vanitory" back in 1948 when they were first introduced, lists the fol- lowing reasons for the popular- ity laminate vanitories in recent years: : 1, They come in an. endless variety of designs and colors to match any bathroom decor. 2. Space utilization -- because of modern postforming tech- niques, odd-shaped areas (such as a corner) can be fitted with a vanitory. 3. Economy -- both countertop and storage area are provided by the vanitory, making it less expensive for the value derived. 4. Unsightly plumbing fixtures are hidden by the vanitory "skirt", though a well-designed vanitory makes these same fix- tures easily accessible for repairs, used at top and two below. An- other cute idea, is to make placements and table runners, to coordinate. 50% Kentucky Bluegrass 15% Poa Trivialis 15% Annual Ryegross 10% Creeping Red Fescue 10% Penn Lawn Fescue 90c Ib. 50% Kentucky Bluegrass 28% Annual Ryegrass 22% Poa Triviolis FERTILIZERS So-Green Premium 21-7-7 Lightweight So-Green Turf Special Garden Special Evergreen Milogranite C.1.L. 10-6-4 Sheep Manure Bonemeal Shur 'Gain Bugaway GRASS SEEDS NO. 1 FINE GRASS 1.10 Ib.
