Does it step up water consumption? Big Time Saver You can tell her that these and a horde of other questions were answered by a study of hand ver sus automatic electric dishwash ing methods known as the Ohio Study, made by the Ohio Agricul tural experiment station, Wooster, Ohio, and sponsored by leading dishwasher manufacturers who are members of the Household Sink Units Section of the National Elec trical Manufacturers Assn. Most dramatic finding of the Ohio Study was that an automatic electric dishwasher cuts dishwash ing time by about half from about an hour and a quarter to an average of 35 minutes a day. You might add that dishes wash ed in a dishwasher were found def initely to be more sanitary than those washed by hand, with a much lower bacteria count, indi cating an important contribution to family health. This is because recommended water temperatures for household dishwashers are hot ter than the hands can stand in the dishpan V- Wf I act rsv-- m:z3k ia - : Design Appliance Layout Before You Start To Buy MOST WELCOME A g&Wy beribboned mobile di ah washer under your Ch rid mat tree meant a year-round holiday from laborious liohwathinfc chores.

CIVE GLAMOUR Especially glamourous gifts this Christmas are housecoats and robes in such newly opulent fabrics as rich brocades, satins and other "evening" materials. and pleasing place in which to work. This can best be achieved by the judicious use of color for the background and for equipment, appliances and accessories. Today, when the home owner is planning a new Kitchen, colored appliances to match or contrast with the walls, cabinets and other fixtures are given the greatest con sideration. In some instances. manufacturers are matching the colors of their appliances with the colors of other equipment, although standardization has not yet reach ed the ideal stage. Much more has to be done to bring about coordin ated colors for the kitchen in the appliance industry. Coordinating Colors One solution for the housewife with a color-matching problem might be for her to sand the ap pliance or appliances in question and apply a special enamel finish coat in the color of her choice. According to the president of a large paint company, his firm has an excellent product, a triple-duty enamel, for this purpose. It can Ss . . ". :. ' . I i ...... ' S CARTER be sprayed on or applied with a brush. Another method of provid ing coordinated colors in the kitch en was evolved by a leading New none name turnismng store, when they were commissioned to do over many large apartments and homes after World war II. The firm did over the kitchens with coordinated colors from the appliances right down to the pots ana pans, io accomplish this co ordinated color program in all its perfection and detail, they sent ap pliances io auiomoDite painting shops to be sprayed with synthetic enamel in the exact colors they wanted to complement the kitchen colors. It might well be asked what items are most likelv to be diffi cult to get in a matching kitchen. Actually, nothing is hard to get today in matching colors. Paint manufacturers are producing as many as 1400 different colors, so appealing color schemes can easi ly be selected. Many manufactur ers of paints, floor coverings and draperies are' offering complete customized kitchen color plans free. Wide Color Choice As to the choice of proper color for the kitchen, there is a wide variety of choice today, depending largely on personal preference. Many people, who are not house wives, seem to think that cool col ors belong in the kitchen because psychologically they seem right. This does not always work out in practice. Surveys have indicated that women like bright cheerful color in the kitchen, with yellow and turquoise ranking particular ly high. The colors should be func tional and provide a happy, cheer ful atmosphere. TECHNOLOGY DOES IT Combination refrigerator - freez er models arc made possible bv technological improvements, in cluding those for insulation, that result in thinner cabinet walls.

Your dealer will have booklets on kit chen planning. You have heard that some kit chens are so badly planned that a housewife spends much of her time walking back and forth across them. You can check a plan by thinking of a simple task like mak ing a cup of tea. You take the teapot from the shelf. How far do you walk to put water In it? Now, how far is it to the stove? To the place where the tea is stored? To the teacups? To the place where you drink it? Subjecf to Variation You can ask the same question about other routines. Usually kit chen planners think of the kitchen as a group of centers. There should be centers for mixing, cooking. serving and cleanup. These can be combined or varied in a number of ways. Kitchen plans usually are thought of as being in the shape of a u or an l. mere are also 1 or straight-line kitchens.

You will find that there are spaces under low shelves and above high shelves that you can't see without stooping over or climbing up on something These difficult-to-see spots will dif fer for people of different hights. How high can you reach, com fortably? This, too, will make difference as to where things are stored. Little things can sometimes make a big difference. For exam ple, do you have a rack at your eye level which will hold an open cookbook or a recipe card? How about cabinets in corners? Have you planned revolving shelves in such hard-to-reach plac es?
