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.

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
