' HAPPY BIRTHDAY June 9 Ralph Puckett Faye Yarington, Elgin Mrs. Ethel Polk 4 Faith Westenskow - .i Rose Coakley Built Career 'Throwing Light By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI) Rose Coak ley has built an unusual career on a cliche throwing light on the subject. A consultant on home, office and industrial lighting, she has helped to light up the homes of Arthur Godfrey and Fats Domino. She has done "mood" lighting for music rooms and once as an experiment illuminated a New York' apartment with nothing but colored bulbs for a former em ployer. "One of the troubles with this world, there's not enough light in it," said Miss Coakley. She was in New York on business for her present boss, Thomas Industries, Inc. of Louisville, Ky., which claims to be the world's largest maker of light fixtures. "A good lighting plan for the home is just as important as the plumbing," she said. It has to be worked out as the, architect works. "But I saw a $100,000 house the other day. Brand new. It had only 13 outlets for fixtures. No lights In the closets. Only one in the kitchen." More Fixtures Needed "Today's typical home.. .three bedrooms, 13,000 cubic feet of space.. .has an average of 12.2 fixtures," she continued. "It takes at least 25 to do an adequate lighting job." . 1 "Aren't you trying to run up our electric bills? I asked ner. "Not at all.'" she countered. "I'm just trying to keep people from stumbling in the dark. Prop er, lighting is a big factor in the warmth and comfort of a home, in the welcome it extends to visitors." ' "Use candles if you wish," she laughed. ."But iVd take a heck of a lot. Do you know it takes 136 candles to produce tne uiumi nation of one 100-watt bulb? ."The important thing is to get enough light in a room. Space in the modern home is so expensive. If : you light the whole room, you'll use all of it. - "Light can figuratively pusn back the walls.. .make a room bigger. Throw a light behind a cornice. Use wall brackets." Miss Coakley talks of interior decorating in terms of a color's: "reflective" value. The -greater the reflection of light, the more you get for the bqlbs you burn. f ' Gray; third vice president, Jan Munsey; secretary, Helen Ruth Walk; treasurer, Linda Ball; pro gram chairman, Lynne Faulkner; junior representative, Nancy Gray; and senior representative, Linda Karrels. Installation for these newly elected girls was one of the main events on the program of the Mother-Senior tea. Each incoming officer was in stalled by an out-going officer, and was then presented with a carnation corsage. Mrs. Mcllaley, advisor to the League, was presented a rosebue corsage in appreciation for the many hours of time and effort she has given to keep the League running smoothly. Following the program, refresh ments were served to the moth ers of all the students in the sen icr class. Punch was poured by Carol Brownton and Mary Lec Klomp, while Carol Lee Cochran and Joy Haun served the cake. Duplicate Bridge Winners Named The La Grande Country Club held Duplicate bridge, Friday evening at the clubhouse. Win ners were, North and South Mr. and Mrs. Joe Harrison with 37 match points; Mrs. Jack Denny and Mrs Lucille bunuden second with 36 match points. East-West winners were Mr. Margaret Ingle and Mrs. Hugh Snider, first with 40 match points, and Mrs. Ed McCanse and Mrs. A. M. Lee, sec ond with 35 match points. On Subject' A white ceiling, she said, has 80 to 90 per cent reflective value. Pale beige, white or pale gray walls have 45 to 65 per cent. Light floors blonde wood, or beige and gray carpeting help light up the whole room. "It's difficult to illuminate a dark painted or paneled room," she said. "If you try to compen sate with more light, all you get is glare." , A native of Ohio, Miss Coakley started in the lighting field as a clerk with the Toledo Edison Co. She took courses in decorating, architecture and illumination a' the University of Toledo and foi several years worked as a con sultant for General Electric. She is a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society. "We're getting away from blobs of light in a room," she said. "Away from heavy shadow. We're diffusing." : In light fixtures, the trend is to the traditional early Ameri can, period French and English to match the revival of traditional furnishings or to "soften" the look of modern. "A lot of the new homes are wired for dimmers," she said. "With these,, a switch can con trol the brightness or dimness of light. Turn it down if you want to neck, or to full brightness if you want the dinner guests to go home." v Love that Man!
