One answer is to make a game of it. This is the idea behind a new children's room storage cabinet designed by the Sylvaply plywood people. The unit is made from fir ply- wood and consists of two roomy storage cabinets, a play shelf and writing desk, and a toy chest on wheels. It is 8 feet long but can be built to any other converient length or made to fit wall to wall How you fit out the cabinets is up to you. But in the design one of the cab:nets is fitted with a cunboard and a bank of draw- ers for clotzes. The other is for storing toys and other items that are too big to go in the toy chest The chest is a plaything in it- self. Fitted with sturdy casters, it can be wheeled about as a playcart. And, of course, at the end of the day your child can use it to round-up and store jaway his toys The lid of the chest is fitted with a foam rubber cover or cushion to form a seat at the play shelf. When not in use, the chest tucks away neatly under |the shelf. : As your child grows up the BRITISH ACE LONDON (CP)--Stirling Moss has been awarded the British Automobile Racing Club's gold medal for 'brilliant perform- ances during 1961.'
