Look in the "CALL GUIDE" section in the front of your TELEPHONE DIRECTORY Good lighting makes such a difference in your life Your biggest bargain in modern living One of the most important benefits of rural electrification Is the miracle of electric lights throughout rural America. It wasn't many years ago that only a few homes enjoyed elec trical living . . . now we all take it as a matter of fact. Did you ever consider how proper lighting can change your life? It makes your home $afer, more com fortable and convenient. Lighting can even change the mood of any room... soft, indirect lighting en courages relaxation . . ; comfortable lights encourage you to speed through household chores (and helps children study). There's no trick to decorating with good lighting. Valances, for example, are ideal to emphasize the beauty of windows and drapes. They provide inches to the left or right. Be sure to have adequate bulbs; a minimum of 150 watts is desirable for reading. Study is easier in a well lighted area An adequate study area is important to your children's success in school. It need not be expensive. Chances are a little planning could change a dark corner into an ideal study centerl Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Wilson have returned from spending a week with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Jon Hyde while they assisted the couple in moving from Vancou ver to Washougal, Wn.

CALL US GENE ORWICK good balanced lighting and bring out the colors of walls and furnishings. Cornices and wall-brackets can be effectively used to display planters, fireplaces and other interest areas. Well placed lamps make reading and many tasks (such as sewing) easier. Floor lamps should be about 47 inches from the floor and 26 inches behind the reading material. It's usually best to have the light source slightly to one side , , . say 15 First, there should be adequate room for the student to spread his work in front of him. A table or desk is sufficient. The chair should be comfortable and encourage proper posture. Lighting should be free from glare and shadows. A single lamp will do the job; place it on the side of the desk opposite the writing hand. The bottom of the shade should be 15 inches above the desk top; place the lamp about 12 inches from the front edge of the desk. Use at least a 150 watt bulb. Two wall mounted lamps also give excellent lighting. Place them 15 inches above the desk and spaced 30 inches between the center of the shades. Use a minimum of 100-watts in each lamp. - Work better and safer, too Proper lighting can help you work, too. For such tasks as ironing, wood working, etc., you should use a mini ' mum of 150-watts. The lighting fix ture should be about 48 inches above the work. You'll find sewing easier (and better) if light source is about 14 inches above the work. Don't strain your eyes... use at least a 150-watt bulb. Many home accidents can be pre vented with proper lighting. A small inexpensive night light can save dangerous and painful falls. Outdoor lights serve the dual advantage of letting you work later and discour aging unwanted visitors. Yet, electric lighting costs are low, thanks to rural electric power. It's your biggest bargain in better living I KaB NRECA OoododDdBgd Igosood op Serving Morrow, Wheeler and Gilliam Counties
