Furniture and Rug Ma rket Shows New Tones i n Pi n k High Point, N. C (U.R) "Homey" tones in finish and color, notably pink, are style highlights of new furniture being offered the buying public this season. The theory Is that with de sign taking on more and more of the softness of traditional feeling, more subdued colors are preferable to the former device of shocking. Thus the pink of milady's boudoir is seen in . kitchen tables and chairs. - Among the colors presented at tle annual furniture and rug market here were cameo pink, lilac pink, rose pink, ice pink and even a dusty pink. One manufacturer came up with a pastel blue finish inj kitchen and ether furniture., ' ' : "Pink can be matched with almost anything,' one manufac turer said. The hues and tones introduced in wood as well as fabric are products of research for what was described as "exciting and satisfying as well as free from any effort to attract attention by the device of startling or shocking." , The new tones "put the furni ture industry into the position ing color consciousness of today's homemaker," a market review said. Wood living room furniture runs the range from grayed tones on through to pastel tints and off-white. Southern furniture , makers are introducing some of the largest case goods (storage units) ever shown. This is particularly true in the lower priced modern ranee where Hollvwood head boards and triple, dressers are gigantic. " Oriental influences were strong throughout the medium and upper price brackets but a switch to traditional lines ap peared solidified for the fall and winter trade after early Ameri can and French provincial re ceived favorable acceptance dur ing the Spring.

Caboose. Cooks Long Winter Ra By BOB O'BRIEN ' .. United Press Correspondent Ogdensburg, N. Y. (U.R) Brakeman Martin Fraser, the "chocolate pudding king" of the New York Central Railroad "ca boose cooks" is ready' for an other winter on the rugged Ad irondack Mountain line. Fraser is one of the few re maining exponents of the once- familiar' art of "caboose cook ery," which is still practiced along the icy northern New York railroad runs. Old-time railroaders can re member when any passing ca boose exuded the aroma of freshly-made coffee. Now there are very few left familiar with such culinary pursuits. But the crews of freight trains that daily chug their way through the heart of the Adiron- dacks are well-versed in cook ing. The area they work in is known as the state's "icebox" with drifts reaching 15 feet and mercury dropping to 30 below in the winter. "We don't have any special recipes," said Fraser, "just plain good old fashioned cooking. In the winter, we . especially like warmed up potatoes with onions and hamburgers cooked in. : "I'm known a.s the chocolate pudding king on the run," said Fraser. "I make the pudding in an old kettle and I tell you, that fife I use is sure hot." Caboose cooking came to life in the days when freight crews were away from home base for long stretches at a time. They considered the caboose , home during those periods. - Most crews now have faster runs and spend less time in the caboose. As a result, . caboose cooking has mostly given way to the lunch box. . ; But the Adirondacks crews carry on the tradition. Long be fore the train is set to roll, the pot-bellied stove in the caboose has been stoked with coal. Fraser said all the trainmen "are great lovers of coffee." And he added, "I dare say Lawrence McDonald of Norwood is the best coffee-maker on the divi sion." ' V McDonald's - secret is simple. "A clean pot and fresh coffee are a must," he said, " if you like to get it right." , He likes to recall one old timer who had a super-fire rec ipe and a widespread reputation for good coffee. "It would make your hair stand on end," McDonald said. "First he'd throw a handful of coffee into a pot and add water. Then the concoction would set overnight and he'd bring it to a boil in the morning. And when you-drank it wow!" ' . Fraser pointed out breakfasts on the run are always the same. And it's a standing joke to ask the cook "what are you going to have for breakfast?" It's always the same answer Prepare For ilroad Runs ("Coffee, eggs, toast, jam, and bacon," said Fraser. "But it sure tastes good with the windows all covered with frost and the crew hollering 'more coffee, cook'!" One-Trip Method For Bedmaking Said Time-Saver How long does it take you to make a bed? If it's more than three minutes, you may be mak ing the job more of a chore than necessary. - . Time -and -motion studies by home economists indicate that a typical housewife walks 262 feet, making 11 complete trips around the bed and takes 6 minutes 28 seconds to make each bed. By comparison, a simplified bed-making method involves only one complete (once around and back), just 34 feet of walk ing and an elapsed time of 2.42. Simplified bedmaking saves steps and time, making it a cinch to provide the luxury of a fresh bed that invites sleep at the end of a long day. , .... Home Economists Help Home economists have de vised various techniques to take the bother out of bedmaking. All involve the combining of several operations into one, such as tucking in sheets and blan kets together on one side of .the bed and then making up the other half of the bed from the other side. With a "one-trip bedmaking" method suggested by the nation al Cotton council, you can make a neat, tight bed in less than three minutes. - Steps in Bedmaking . First, stack the bedding on a chair placed at center of one side of the bed. . . ' Standing next to the chair, throw the bottom sheet across the mattress. Then the top sheet and blanket. . At the head of the bed, fold the top sheet over the blanket, tuck and miter the bottom sheet and tuck the top sheet and blan ket,, as far as yoii can reach down the side of the bed. Walk around to the head of the bed on the opposite side and repeat the operation. Move back around the bed, tucking in sheets and blankets together, mitering the corners at the foot of the beflj' until you're back to the chair. '. Throw the spread, place the pillow on the fold and flip the spread over the pillow. Presto! The job's done. Here's a tasty variation on the plain omelet. Use your usual method for making a plain one, then spread it with a mixture of 4 tablespoons pf pot cheese mixed with the same amount of grated Parmesan and 1 slice of diced ham. 4f0 Ml Hi EMU LOANS BORROW TODAY!
