2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, April 30, 1962 Kitchen Work -- Gets Top Place Kitchen modernization won top place in a recent survey, in which homeowners were asked what improvement projects they were contemplating. This is not surprising. Usual ly the first room in a home to '"'show its age'"' is the kitch- en. New advances in kitchen equipment seem to come almost as rapidly as in women's fash- jons. Then, too, the constant in-and-out traffic and the day- in-day-out use that the room gets tends to make a kitchen "old before its time." The best part about kitchen modernization is that the whole job need not be done at once. It can well be a step-by- step program, in which the most urgent needs are given top priority, and progress is geared to the "state of the budget." It is amazing (and most gratifying) what a difference the installation of one or two of the new attractively styled, work-saving appliances or stor- age units can make in the} efficiency and appearance of a kitchen. Indeed, just re-cover- ing the counter-surfaces or re-| doing the floor or walls can; give the room a "new look." | If you decide to modernize | your kitchen a step at a time, |} it is important that you keep! in mind from the very begin- | i ning what your ultimate be.
