And because of this, we spend more time at home and in our living rooms watching the tele vision screen. The influence of television is being felt on home furnishings. Ottomans are getting larger, so that they are more comfortable seating pieces. Pull-up chairs are being designed so that they look good from all angles and can stand alone in a room. Sofas are getting bigger and "sprawlier" for more viewing comfort. Waiching television seems to Increase the appetite, too, so that snack tables are becoming jnore popular. Many of them are small and compact and fold for easy storage when not in use.

And it should be eaten in pleasant, relaxing surroundings. When the family is gathered around the dining table, for the evening meal or on festive occasions, they should be able to dine in comfort. The dining groups which are available today have been de signed with that idea in mind. Whether you have a large dining room or whether your home has a smaller dining area, you will find a group which will fit beau tifully and which can be adapted to your needs. You can furnish your dining rjm in any style or period which suits your fancy. Some very lovely French provincial groupings were introduced dur ing the recent home furnishings markets. Many of the French provincial lines have a painted finish. A number of them combine rich natural wood table and chest tops with painted legs. It is an interesting and attractive com bination. Cane Backs One line has dining chairs with cane backs which are paint ed white. Running through the canes is a delicate criss - cross pattern which is painted in a soft pastel color. The many correlated collec tions are a perfect answer for the dining group which must be placed in a living-dining area. The furniture for both areas is coordinated so that it blends well together and presents a unified setting. One such line is called "Ca dence." This is a contemporary crourjins with colonial over tones. Pieces are available for i dining room, living room and ! bedroom. There are many pieces from which to choose for your dining room. A. number of differently styled chests are available. You can' combine two or perhaps three against one wall and place a china deck on one of them. A bookcase deck is also avail able vhich contains a fall-front deck. The wood used in this group is maple in a light, honey finish. Slat doors are a feature of the chests.

More Styling More styling is being seen in metal dining groups these days. One new line includes an Early American dining group. It is available with either a rectan gular or a round dining table, Chairs have padded seats and backs, covered in an attractive fabric in a provincial pattern. The romantic influence sweep ing the country, inspired by the musical play, "My Fair Lady," has reached the furniture field, too. One new dining group is even called by that name. It is cleanly and finely styled and eloquently tells the story of the dignity of traditional design Servers are continuing to be an important part of dining room groupings. They are. won derfully handy for transporting food from the kitchen to the din ing room or for bringing refresh' ments into the living room when you are entertaining more cas ually. They also add a bit more storage space. Walnut is the most popular wood for the contemporary dining groups. Maple and cherry remain strong for early Ameri can. Mahogany is still the favor ite for 18th century groupings. Efforts Made To Reduce Noises Noise attacks us from all sides and often produces an unaccount able feeling of irritability. A great deal has been done to coun teract noise in the home, partic ularly in the kitchen where sev eral appliances are going simul taneously in addition to the de manding voices of small chil dren. Knowing that a high noise level in the kitchen increases f tigue and jangles tne nerves, manufacturers have made a con certed effort to make the opera tion of cabinets and appliances as quiet as possible. Building ma terials and floor coverings are also available to serve as quiet ing influences. . Steel kitchen cabinet doors are insulated with a sound deadening material and are equipped with rubber stops so that Lilliputian members of the family can slam them without driving mother to distraction. Cabinet drawers roll softly on nylon bearings. Design engineer for appliance manufacturers c o n s t a n tly en deavor to reduce the sound level of our mechanical partners which do so many kitchen chores automatically. Resilient flooring should be us ed if you want to deaden sounds. Rubber tiles and vinyl plastics are particularly effective and al so cushion the miles of footsteps covered each day in the kitchen. Using rubber or plastic coated wire racks for dish draining and storage are small devices to help sound condition the kitchen. Carpet's acoustical benefits play a vital role in radio and television broadcasting. The manager of the New York studio building for CBS says: "It would be impossible to do a show without carpets, since they are extremently important for acoustic purposes eliminating noises of show personnel walk ing about the studios while pro grams are on the air." Oklahoma Man In Choir Before Becoming Popular Jimmy Wakely, one of Ameri ca s best-known western singers who stars at the Medford Home Show beginning Thursday, May 30, was raised in Oklahoma, but learned his singing in a church choir rather than on the range. Jimmy's career as a western singer began after he had estab lished himself as a singer of popular songs and had- been signed to a Hollywood contract. In addition to having had sev eral records hit the million mark in sales, Wakely has starred in more than 30 movies, has ap peared as a guest star on numer ous television . productions, and has had his own network radio program for more than five years. He is believed to be one of the highest-paid western singers in show business. Variety Acts In addition to Wakely, the stage show at the Medford Home Show will feature such variety acts as The Great Montyne and Sing Lee Sings. Montyne recently appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, where he thrilled television audiences with an act which has been chill ing club audiences for several years. An acrobat and stunt man, Montyn's most hair-raising act is a hand-balance on a stack of shaky blocks over a table studded with razor sharp knives. The Sing Lee Sings are a famous Chinese family of enter tainers who do everything from juggling to acrobatics to song and dance acts. Small ones in the family form a second troupe, the Chinese Mouseketeers. Mistress of ceremonies will be Blanche Cooper of th Cooper Sis ters, who last appeared at the Frontier in Las Vegas. Three complete shows daily will be continuous entertain ment from the time the doors open each day until closing, pro ducers said.
