.2 Th. N.wi-R.vi.w, Rowburg, Or Wd., Nov. 21, 1956 Here's Why Appliances In Demand Her are facts and figures which explain why the demand for ma jor appliances in America is climb ing hteher and higher every year: AUTOMATIC WASHERS A survey conducted by a manu facturer's home economics labor atory showed that a family wash of five eight-pound loads can be done by an operator of average skill in 27 minutes of the operat or's time 5 4 minutes per load. This is only 10 per cent of the en ergy and 15 per cent of the time required by other home laundry methods. The tests also indicated that home-washed linens and cloth ing last from 33 1-3 per cent to 100 per cent longer than those com mercially laundered. AUTOMATIC DRYERS The same survey showed that use of a dryer saves a total of three hours per week formerly spent in hanging, sprinkling and ironing clothes. It also eliminates labor involved in earn ing 90 and 120 pounds of clothes to and from the clothes-line. Dryer dried clothes and household linens also last longer than those line-dried with better retention of fabric col or and texture, less loss of tensile strength. With drying time short ened and drying made independ ent of weather, fewer eioinej aoo linens are required. AUTOMATIC DISHWASHERS The research showed that for the average family, about five minutes are required to prepare dishes and load a dishwasher, com pared with 35 minutes needed to scrape, rinse, dry and put away dishes wnen uie wore is aone dv hand, breakage of china and glassware is reduced. Use of dish cloths and dishtowels is almost eliminated. HOME FREEZERS The company' studies indicated that food preservation by freezers requires only half as much time as canning. Time and energy are saved by fewer shopping trips. Foods can be cooked and frozen when time is available. With both fresh and cooked frozen foods on hand, meals can be prepared quickly and easily. Money can be saved by buying food in quantities, taking advantage of sales and of low seasonal prices. Food prepa ration costs and food wastes are reduced by wise use of plan-overs and left-overs.

NO PLACE FOR MISTAKES An expert's advice in any kitch en improvement is desirable, and especially when a built-in range is considered, states the Gas Appli ance Manufacturers Association. SAVE YOUR ENERGY Since studies have shown that it requires 8 per cent more energy to stand than to sit, the wise home maker does as much of her work in a sitting position as is possible. Thanks to the wide variety of sizes and styles now available in standard and special-purpose steel cabinets, remodeling an old kitch en or planning one for a new home is both simple and fun. Today's steel kitchen can be tailored perfectly to room sue re quirements, yet provide the ad vantage of economy because of mass production. To get some idea of the variety ! possible, consider these specialty units: Snack bars that serve as handy dining and work surfaces. Handsome divider cabinets, with door openmgs on both sides, which can be used to separate the food preparation center from a dining or laundry area. These units sup ply compact storage room for supplies, which can be reached from either area. Special steel units to house waist- nigh ovens ana proviae misc sDace underneath. Curved door and rounded steel shelf units which can be fitted at ihp end of rows of standard base and wall cabinets to ease walk through passageways ana aaa a clean decorative line to the kitch en. All of these precision built cabi nets help stvlize the steel kitchen. Each unit, regardless of its design, blends with all others of the same make. This means that the multi purpose kitchen, though made up of two or three centers for cooking, laundry, dining or other activities, can be fashioned into one coordi nated work saver with a custom tailored appearance. Remember when planning for base and wall cabinets that the ri?ht height depends upon both the job to be done and your height, Here's What To Do When Power Fail What happens to a freezer full of precious food when the electric power goes off? , ,. Cornell University specialists say there is little chance of frozen posture and arm length. Here's how the Pennsylvania State University College of Agri culture Extension Service recom mends that you find your best work heights for various kitchen chores: STAND-UP JOBS Stand at ease with your feet slightly apart and arms down at your sides. Raise your arms from the elbow until the palms of your hands arrive in a position where y,e centcr 0( each compartment. you couia mi iwa wiiuuui suwr ' tng. Measure the distance irom the floor to your hands. This is the best working height for your food preparation or mixing counter. SITTING JOBS Sit at ease in a comfortable straight chair with a back sup port. Place your feet flat on the floor, arms down at your sides. From the elbow raise your arms until parallel with the floor. The distance from the floor to your wrist is the right height for a lap board. Proper height of a sink is ex tremely important. If it is too deep or low, you will have to stoop, lean or slouch to do your work. The proper position is one that will pnahle vnu to stand comfor tably erect and be able to place : COSTUME JEWELRY is a gift the oalms of vour hands in the choice dear to ovary ftminin bottom of the sink.

I THE SINK SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO STAND LIKE - - Color Treatments Carried Inside Some White Units Whether or not you like color on the outside of your appliances, it' seems possible that some of those you buy may not be white inside. Some of the makers found costs mounting when they tried to match all the new outside colors inside their products. Last year they tried various ways of meeting the prob lem. At least one manufacturer changed interior colors on both white and colored appliances. He thinks he has found a single in terior color that goes well with both white and colored exteriors. The idea has not moved far enough to establish a trend, but in the future there is a good chance the appliances you buy may have color inside whether they are white or colored outside.
