By See Gardner Dozens of innovations in the Venetian blind field make new models today look far different from the orig- -Inal models. ift . ''f The main pur- V-y poses of Vene- j .T I . tian blinds, to J insure privacy I 3$. Hi ana w uuw i ' for ' individual v adjustment of - 7 light, still re main true, but much has been added in recent nnrith One of the newest trends is using the blinds at the window for heating units. This is accom plished by having heated slata to attack the cold at the win dow. Metal slats are filled with glass tubes of the oven ware va riety and these tubes have mi crom Wire electric heating ele ments inside them. Each tube is encased in a filling of woven copper to facilitate conduction of heat to the mStal of the slat. Actually, it is the radiant heat trend adapted to the blinds. Half and Half Coming back to blinds for light adjustment, there is a new blind that can be opened just on the top half, while the bottom part remains closed or vice versa. No extra cords or tapes complicate the operation and it should be a good item for first floor apartment dwellers who like light from the top and pri vacy from the bottom of their blinds. ' And, talking about the top part of a blind, there are some new developments for the head rail. Very . modern and smart drapery head rails are coming on the market in the same col ors as the blinds and they cover not only the Venetian blind hardware workings but extend out like a cornice board to take care of draperies or curtains as welL A completely - enclosing metal head rail is also proving popular. This is a box-like af fair which bides all the upper workings of the blind. One ma nufacturer has worked out a de vice to eliminate the "old problem- of one cord riding all the way up the blind, while the oth er hangs useless. With this new gadget the cords stay even, thanks to tiny pulleys of lignum vitae wood from Haiti. Bold-Down Brackets Another good gadget, for your blinds is a set of brackets to hold the blinds in place if you want to keep them down while you have the window open. Anoth er aid to the open - window problem is a new twin - ladder tape. The tape goes over and under each blind slat and pre vents it from flapping against the next slat. Latest in tapes for blinds is a plastic variety which is guar anteed not. to shrink, stretch or fade and comes in eight colors, including white. Incidentally, some dealers are now carrying a stock of colors in Venetian blinds including as many as 23 different hues and are charging no more for stock colors than for, the usual white or eggshelL For nurseries, you will find new story - book and animal figures baked on steel slats of Venetian blinds.- For Father's "den" there are iwood 'finishes done by the same' process. Removable Slats If you like to dust your blinds often, ask for a new model with removable slats. Another new trend is In nar . rowed - down slats with a new one - and - a - half inch width coming on the market. On the other hand, some companies pre fer the wider slats and you can also obtain a two and three eighths width. A semi - plastic material is being used ; by one Venetian winr) rnmnanv for its new line. The material is opaque and al lows light. to pass through, yet prevents sun '- fading and pro tects privacy. This type of blind is too new to, Judge its accept ability, but it should provide an interesting blind and good color possibilities. More than 80 per cent of the blinds sold in the past two years have been in metal, steel and aluminum. They are easier to keep clean than the old-style wood and many new finishes are becoming available in metal slats. A satinized finish,' -obtained in a new Drocess. seals in the color and prevents fading, chipping, rusting or cracking of paint An interesting adaptation of the. Venetian blind is its use for French doors. The blinds are set in channels and extend out about three inches from a door or wall location. In small apartments, you often find blinds used to hide kitchenettes. They also look impressive when used full length, giving the impression of spa cious windows beyond. Tf the homemaker wants to eo into a very special job, the can have her Dunns airDrusnea wiw colors of her own choosing. The air brushing is a. hand operation but you certainly can have an individual looking set of blinds when you finish. The most popu lar designs are geraniums, swans swimming in a lily pool, lamb frolicking in daisies and a Chi nese ming tree pattern. , Genera' Features Corporation) Members of chapter BC, FEO will be entertained Tuesday after noon at the Chemeketa street home of Mrs. Charles Layport at a 1:30 dessert luncheon, auss Blanche Currie," new manager of the Marion county chapter, Amer ican Red Cross, will be the speak er.
