Men Beat Wives as
Decorators, Expert Says
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
(United Preji Sporta Writer)
New York (U.R) In most American homes, it's the wife who is
the final arbiter of decorating. But James Mont, interior decora
tor, is none too sure she's qualified for the post.
"Almost any man has a better
understanding of color, formillf

Cherry Crop
The Dalles, June 24 W) An
Oregon State college experiment
station entomologist, Sid Jones,
was called here today to find
out what kind of worm is ruin
ing the bumper cherry crop.
Growers reported a serious
larva infestation in some orch
ards. It was discovered late;
the 10,000-ton record crop is al
ready 70 per cent harvested.
One grower was notified that
27 tons of fruit he had sent a
processor would all be useless.
It was partly infested; and proc
essors said the larva is so hard
to detect that sorting out bad
from good cherries would be
prohibitive in cost.
The worm, which appears
serious in come orchards but
non-existent in others, may pos
sibly be the Mineola moth larva.
Growers, however, were not
sure.
design and utility than any wo
man of the same general educa
tional and experience levels,"
Mont said.
He is bound to get plenty of
Indignant feminine replies from
some well - decorated living
rooms. But on the other hand,
for every one of the decorating
sins he attributes to American
women In a new booklet he just
published, Mont can cite a case
to prove it from among his own
decorating clients.
Women, he contends, too easi
ly become addicts of vibrant
colors. They mix too many
colors in one room, with nerve
jangling result.
"While you don't have to be
afraid of color," Mont said,
"you must be respectful. The
more waking time you spent in
room, the less dramatic it
should be, the more restful It
must be."
A stimulating color like red,
for Instance, should only be used
as an accent in a much-used
living room, according to Mont.
"Even then," he added, "you're
better off if it's portable and
can be moved now and then."
Arranging furniture properly
In a room is another household
talent lacking in most women,
In Mont's opinion. They tend
to fall into two styles of ar
rangement the "Spanish bull
ring" fashion, in which furni
ture is strung around the walls
of a room, or the "Olympic ob
ttacle" course, with furniture
placed so "any normal path
from one door to another in
cites a catastrophe."
Mont suggests a "traffic-flow"
pattern as a remedy. Lay wide
itrips of newspaper connecting
ill entrances to a room in direct
paths. The furniture belongs In
the remaining sections.
When It comes to the money
I young couple spends in fur
nishing their first living room,
Mont accuses women of splurg
ing on inconsequential items and
then having to skimp on the im
portant ones.
Fifty-five per cent of the liv
ing room budget should be spent
tn furniture, he believes, with
is much as 35 per cent on the
lofa alone. Twenty per cent goes
tor the carpet with the remain
ing 25 per cent on lamps, drapes,
paintings and other accessories.
Trust a man to buy the sofa
ifter the budget Is settled. "He
nay possibly go wrong on the
lolor or type of fabric," ex
plained Mont, "but you can trust
tim to pick the right shape and
Ihe correct size. A man knows
there's no greater fraud in the
world of furniture than a sofa
which doesn't allow him to lie
lown on It."
A for round sofas, he says
Ihey are "nothing but show
pieces." He's for keeping them
lut of the living room "until the
lay humans come in a horse-
rhoe design."

Council Denies
Speed-up Plea
Woodburn The request of
the Southern Pacific railroad for
the repeal of the city ordinance
setting the speed of trains at 45
miles per hour through the city
of Woodburn was denied by the
city council. The action was
t'rn despite the fact that the
ordinance is unenforceable due
to a law passed by the 1947
legislature which places the sole
authority for limiting the speed
of trains through cities of less
than 100,000 population in the
hands of the state public utili
ties commission.
A delegation of 25 local busi
nessmen appeared before the
council protesting against the
repeal of the ordinance and op
posing passenger train speeds
over the 45 mile limit.
The council took action to re
fuse the request of the South
em Pacific and went on record
as opposing train speeds over
the present limit. A committee
from the council and from the
business men's group is to be
appointed to circulate a peti
tion opposing excessive speeds
of trains and requesting a hear
ing before the public utilities
commission to set t maximum!
limit of 45 miles per hour for
trains passing through Wood
burn. Other action of the council
was the adoption of a resolution
to Improve Fir street from Fifth
to Sixth with paving at an es
timated cost of $433.25 and
authorization of a stop sign on
Park avenue entering Hard
castle from the Legion baseball
park.

a steam soap tank in the Stock
ton, Calif., Auto Steam Clean

ed by Joseph B. Schwab, form
erly of Mt. Angel, caused the

steam cleaning plant hurtled 60
ieet into the air and came crash

chinist working alongside his!
machine instantly. The steam
soap tank was 15 feet long 6
feet in diameter. Normally
three or four men work at the
spot where Tankersley was kill
ed, but at the time of the ex
plosion they happened to be en
gaged in other parts of the plant.
Two employees at the steam
plant working in the yard were
injured by the blast and taken
to the emergency hospital. Rob
ert LeDoux son of Mr. and Mrs.
L. A. LeDoux of Mt. Angel, was
foreman at the Stockton Para
mount plant before moving to
Sunnyside, Wash., as chief con
sulting engineer at the Para
mount's branch plant there.
