36 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, April 24, 1964 . Applianc es Can Have Many Uses When is a toaster not just a toaster? When it is used to 'heat frozen waffles, reheat bis- cuits or to make your own Mel- ba toast? All of your small kitchen ap- pliances can be big helps if you give them more than part-time work to do. They have good table manners and can go to the buffet or dining table for cooking and serving, leaving the eook with her guests where she belongs. -The term portable appliances is not just a name, it's an asset. They are designed to travel about, from room to room, to patio, garden or in the car to picnic grounds where outlets are available. Use the steam iron to raise the nap on velvets, corduroys and suede. It works fine on hats, clothing and even: uphol- stery. Hold the iron just above the fabric with the pile side up and allow the steam to pene- trate. Veils can be re-stiffened by ironing with a dry iron be- tween layers of waxed paper. The blender can be your most- used kitchen helper -- if you keep it handy and use it. Fresh- ground coffee can be yours at the flick of a switch and you can make your own blends, to - the desired grind coarse, medium or fine. The blender will_also chop vegetables, make bread crumbs and biend sea- sonings for stuffing, puree foods for baby or make a heal- thy midday pick-up from your own blend of fruits, vegetables or juices. When the frypan isn't at the dinner-table, it can be used for baking cakes, cookies or pud- dings instead of using the oven. With a broiler lid, it makes tasty hamburgers or open-face sandwiches, as well as luscious) steaks. If you haul om the electric coffee maker only for company, you're missing a morning treat. Plug it into the timer c.ock of your range before retiring, and wake up in the mornmg to the incomparable aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The coffee maker may alse be used to heat soups, hard-cook eggs and make hot malteds, tea or cocoa. For temptingly foamy cocoa, make a thick paste with the dry ingredients, put in basket, and perk on "mild" setting. If you have a roaster oven, use it for cooking in quantity. Use the whole roaster for scal- loped potatoes, scrambled eggs, spaghetti or large group, and then serve from the roaster. If you're carrying the food, it will stay hot up to six hours if the reast- er oven is wrapped in a blan- ket..The roaster will also make easier the chores of making jams and jellies in quantity or water-bath canning of tomatoes or fruit. In addition to its many uses in the kitchen, the portable mixer can be used to mix deter- gents for dry suds jobs. It's abuse, not use, that makes appliances old before their time, say home economists. So put your appliances te work for you in the variety of jobs that each can handle. They'll soon earn a place on top of the counter instead of on the back of the shelf. OUTSIDE TAP A new outside hot water tap that connects with a-gas water heater is becoming popular as a means of cleaning up hands, tools and boots before they track mud into the house. Other uses are for a hese connection to.temper the water in small lawn swimming pools and for car washing. Incidentally, the new tap contains a valve that drains off water to a point in- side the house where it will be protected from sudden frost. A COMPLETE FOOD prep- aration centre can be located in limited space if the centre is as well planned as this kitchen. There is a maximum of cupboard and counter space between the refrigera- tor-freezer and built-in oven, including counter space on either side of the surface cooking units.

This act is adminis- tered by CMHC or Central Mert- gage and Housing Corporation which has. offices in all major Canadian cities. Many hundreds of thousands of homes have been built in Canada with the help of this legislation. More than a bil- lion dollars have already been invested by government in help- ing Canadians obtain decent homes, The NHA insures loans made to home purchasers and where these loans are not avail- able it provides for direct loans to qualified borrowers. But this represents only part of the NHA operations. Assisting our older citizens and families of lower- income -- providing living ac- commodation for our university students -- extending municipal sewage services -- renewing those sections of our cities that have fallen into decay. All these are made possible under the National Housing Act. things and many other benefits | y Photos Provide Decorative Note Having professional photo- graphs taken isa custom dic- tated by the desirc for a family record. Long ago, colonists had their portraits painted by no- madic. artists who traveled from town to town getting bed and board fer their work. Today it's a simple procedure to commemorate the mile-stones of life by visiting the local photography studio for an hour where you're treated like a com- bination king, queen and movie Star. Such professional photographs make attractive home decora- tion, as well as welcome gifts. What could be more sentimental than a wall of professional photographs pf family members, especially if some of them live far away. If you plan such a decoration, here are a few rules to guide ou: ee First of all choose frames to complement -- not overpower -- the subject. The trond today is to frame studio photographs like oil paintings. If the photographs are black and white, vou may want to use a cream-colored fab- rie mat. If they're in direct eolor, the mat color can be more bold and not detract from the photograph, Be sure to relate the size and scale of the photographs toe that of the furniture and room. Mix frames sizes in an arrangement, if you wish, or add a painting, . barometer or clock to give it in- terest. When you're ready to hang your masterpiece, put paper on the floor in front of the wall to be covered. Shove the objects around over it until you get an arrangement you like. Trace around the objects; then tape the paper on the wall as a pat- tern for driving nails. If special lighting seems necessary, try strip lighting or spotlights. The latter can be pin- ned to the ceiling or hidden in plants placed beneath the ar- rangement.
