Furniture Designs Undergo Changes; Television Cause Chicago (U.R) Television is causing drastic changes in fur niture design. Items ranging from desks to entire, living room suites have been remodeled to accomodate television's demands, manufac turers at the recent American Furniture Mart's Summer show reported. "Take desks for instance, said Robert L. Sligh, assistant sales manager of Sligh of Grand Rapids. "When television sets first came into existence desk sales fell sharply. It took us some time, but we finally fig ured out why." Sligh said it seemed that the addition of a television set made most living rooms overcrowded and some piece of furniture had to go. Since all tables and chairs available were needed for the television audience, the only dis pensable item was the desk. "But all that is changed now, noted Sligh. "We've come out with entirely new styled desks which assume the role of focal points rather than utilitarian objects. The desk will now be a conversation piece instead of a cluttered up hunk of furniture." Television also has effected furniture construction. I often hear people asking for the massive furniture of the good old days'," said Delmar R. Kroehler, president of the Kroehler Manufacturing Co. of Chicago. "They're just lucky that furniture isn't around any more. It never could withstand the wear and tear of an average television family. Today's fur niture must be made sturdier than ever before. And people are spending so much time in their homes now because of tele vision, that they're more style conscious."

Let us call for your cleaning tomorrow. "Your Appearance It Our Business' DIAL 2-6165 FOR FREE PICKUP AND DELIVERY SERVICE DUMAS DOMESTIC LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANERS OH IT I Just listSning to the other fellow can be a positive force for peace says Dr. Samuel I. Hayakawa, noted semanticist. Dr. Hayakawa talked the other day for a women's group in Sacra mento, Calif., and suggested that the passive act of listening to gain understanding of another's point of view is something which more of us should do. He suggested listening without immediately judging. "Let communication flow the other way," he suggested. "Discover the basis of objection, how it looks to the other fellow. It takes cour age and strength to listen without seeking to evaluate the other side's point of view. Communication is a universal problem at both tiny and enormous level. It can be improved by anybody, starting with yourself. And peace will be that much nearer." Mrs. Phil Hitchcock knows how to listen. Mrs. Hitchcock was a guest at a small luncheon given Tuesday by Mrs. E. A. Littrell, and the quiet Mrs. H. let her table companions do most of the talking when the conversation was on politics, which it mostly was. When it wasn't politics, it was food. Before luncheon, and encouraged by the delicious smells wafting in from the kitchen, the group talked about diet and we found that others have the same problem that we do namely, eating enough breakfast in order to keep from starving before luncheon. Mrs. Hitchcock said one of her favorite nutritionists has this advice: Eat like a king for breakfast, like a prince for luncheon and like a pauper for dinner. She added that she and her husband had been treated to a "king's breakfast" of venison steak at the home of friends in Drain en route to Medford. The exceedingly attractive and personable Mrs. Hitchcock, a brunette, wore a sand-colored knit dress for the luncheon engage ment. We've often thought that one of the perils of campaigning would be the amount and quality of food which candidates must consume under all sorts of trying conditions. The constant ora tory would be a frightful ordeal, but the parade of breakfasts, luncheons and dinners, with coffees and teas in between, is surely enough to ruin both the digestion and morale of even the strong est man. . About the time tnree weeks have gone without any word from the young marrieds, and about time we decided to send a one-word wire, or a really scorching letter, then along comes a four-page missive, and peace is restored. In the last one from Ft. Ord, they even remembered to answer questions. We were properly thanked for having sent the brushes, pills, brewer's yeast and monopoly game, plus a jar of pear butter, and we were assured that the clothes rack really didn't matter. What became of the rack still remains a household mystery. We put it in a safe place, and haven't seen it since. "We have played monopoly several times," wrote the young Army wife, "and Kenny even got ambitious and carved some figurines to use in it from a block of wood that he found in a vacant lot down the street. They are really quite interesting one is a nude female torso and the other three are along the African mask line. We named them Giggles, Bubbles, Godiva and Ethelbert." She added that the soldier,, an oboist, had been transferred to the Band Training unit, and that he, as well as Raoul Maddox of Medford, who is also stationed at Ft. Ord, had both written con cerning "the possibilities of being transferred to the Sixth Army band at the Presidio in San Francisco. The letter they received came via Keith Mirick, Medford musician already serving in 'the Sixth Army band, and the two young couples are now pondering the pros and cons of adding a year to their Army service and being privileged to play in that band, or of taking their chances with draftee status. m "We both went to a rehearsal of the Monterey Bay Symphony last night with Raoul and Tudy," she continued, which was most enjoyable. There was a potluck dinner beforehand, and I ended up playing last chair second violin, using a borrowed instrument. Kenny played second oboe, and enjoyed it even more than I did. The number we worked on was the 'Pathetique Symphony.' The man who conduts up until the time of the concert is an oboist, and is considered the best on the coast. He comes down from San Francisco once a week for rehearsals, and then about two re hearsals before the concert, they import a conductor from San Francisco who takes it from there. "They get state aid because it is considered a class college I suppose, and they pay mileage to people from out of town and they also pay baby sitters. There are some very fine musicians in the group several from Fort Ord and the other service installa tions around here. One young man, who was Kenny's assigned roommate for a few days, was the assistant conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony before he was drafted." "The trainee band is about half made up of professional musicians and music teachers, with a few high school musicians to balance it. Kenny and four other trainees have formed a wood wind quintet, and they are to tape some programs for radio broad casts." The letter went on four typewritten pages on both sides of the sheets, with news about the score made in a civil service exam which was satisfactory, the fact that she was proud to have missed but one question on the California driving test for a learner's per mit, that Doug Brannock of Medford is stationed at the Naval "postgraduate school" in Monterey, and that when Raoul M. hears that she has received the Sunday paper from home he always wistfully asks if it was the sports section, or only the society. Potpourri actually went hunting last Sunday. True, it wasn't much of an expedition, for the two of us just went up into the hills south of Medford and climbed around on a wooded slope. While we didn't see any deer, the close sound of rifles, including a semi-automatic, made Potpourri a trifle uneasy. However, we didn't come home empty-handed. We picked up the usual assort ment of pretty rocks, three different kinds of cones, some velvety green moss to put around house plants and poison oak on both ankles. O.S. Tbh the rest W of your life i I Roughage Important For Normal Diet, Nutritionist States Philadelphia "Any normal diet can be so planned that it will contribute sufficient arnounts of roughage," says Cor-1 inne H. Robinson, head of the , department of food and nutri- j tion, Drexel Institute of Tech-; nology, Philadelphia. She states that the daily need for fiber is j about six grams per day for an adult. This is a small amount, j but highly important to health. These six grams, according to ! Dr. Robinson, could be made up, ! for example, from the fiber con- ; tent of such a selection of foods j as the following: 1 medium or- j ange; 1 medium apple; 1 serv-: ing of cabbage: 1 medium pota- I to; 1 serving of cooked carrots; i 1 shredded wheat biscuit or V4 j cup of oatmeal and 2 slices of ' whole wheat bread. Where the fiber content of j the diet is to be increased, us ually the increase calls for more whole grain breads and cereals and more fresh fruits and vege tables, the fruit preferably be ing eaten raw and some of the vegetables also being eaten un cooked, as in salads. Vegetables and Fruits Said Important in Diet New York According to the Nutrition Foundation, the work ' of many scientists has empha-' sized the "importance of mere ; traces in the body of essential , mineral elements such as iodine ; or copper; and of vitamins pro- j tective in amounts so small as i to demand measurement' in mil lionths of a gram. In conse quence, vegetables and fruits, j which are the ultimate sources i of the vitamins and the chief j conveyors of the minerals of the 1 soil to the animal body, aside from eggs and milk, have as- j sumed a new place in human j nutrition and many people have 1 found improved health and vig-, or through their freer use," the j foundation states. j ' "Franks" For Lunch i New York (U.R) Frankfurt- i ers in just about any form are favorite fare with children.: Here, they're combined with i pickle relish, for sandwich fill-1 ing.
