Newly featured shallow cabi

valuable "middle area" between
base and wall cabinets. Sliding

cabinets without getting in the

These cabineTs are often used in
Mmbinatitrv with base and wall
cabinets to form a wall divider
unit thatpartiafly shuts off the
Wew of the kitchen from the
dininn area in a large family-
style kitahen.
The shallow cabmeta are
lust tha right size to install an
Jnter-com system for a really
deluxe feature. Without moving
from the kitchen, you can talk
to other members of the family
or keep an ear tuned to infant
cries from the nursery.
Many steel cabinets are avail
able with glass doors to exhibit
a prized collection of glass or
china, rilled doors used on a
sink front or to enclose a radi
ator add igteresting variety.
Putting some cabinets on
stainless steel legs instead of
using ih& traditional method of
Installation is a trend that adds
a spacious floating look to the
room.
Even sink fixtures have been
simplified. Instead of requiring
two faucet handles, now a single
lever faucet controls both the
water flow and the temperature.
Stainless Steel Adds Drama
In line wjth the decorating
theory that many materials are
beautiful in their own right,
stainless steel is used extensive
ly in most elegant kitchens
shdVn today by outstanding de
sigrajrs. Appearing in built-in electric
ranges, refrigerators, dishwash
ers, sinks and counters, the
gleam of stainless steel breathes
life and beauty into the room.
A feeling strength and perman
ence is imparted by its glow.
Dramatic accents of stainless
steel can be carried out in the
decorating scheme through the
use of ventilating hoods, bullet
ceiling light fixtures, pots and
pans hung on the wall or from
a stainless rack, and stainless
trays and flatware designed for
contemporary or traditional
table settings.
One of the newest uses for
stainless steel is combining it in
narrow' strips with rubber or
vinyl tiles for a truly outstand
ing floor treatment.
Electric Appliances Spotlighted
Th beauty of electric appli
ances masks the magic chores
they automatically perform.
Their straight, simple lines fit
perfectly with those of steel
cabinets. Manufacturers have
been working harder than ever
to build appliances in standard
sized units which will easily
combine with standard cabinets.
Built-in ranges, refrigerators
and freezers permit great ver
satility in kitchen arrangement.
One oven can be raised or low
ered mechanically to suit the
height of the user. It's counter
top provides extra work space.
Refrigerator sections and
freezer sections can be located
in one spot or separated. Units
which hang on the wall just
like cabinets. offer many un
usual possibilities for your kit
chen plan.
Even in the laundry area, au
tomatic washers and dryers are
manufactured for built-in in
stallation. Electronic ovens that let you
stage your own dramatic cook
ing performance in a matter of
seconds are designed to fit in
the same space as standard
built-in electric ovens. Even if
you don't buy this exciting ap
pliance right now, you'll have a
spot for it in the kitchen when
you do.
And to keep a kitchen looking
its elegant self, a dishwasher
lets you whisk soiled dishes out
of sight as fast as they appear.
An electric garbage disposer in
the sink cooperates to make the
kitchen the glamour spot it was
designed to be.
Few Good Tools
Essential for Work
In Home Gardening
Only a relatively few good
tools, surprisingly enough, are
essential for successful garden
ing, according to the National
Retail Hardware Association.
A spade, a rake, a hoe and a
trowel will do most of the jobs
required by the run-of-the-mill
amateur gardener. They should
feel good to the gardener and
should be of a weight and size
equal to the strength of the user.
Women should select smaller
and lighter tools.
A round-nosed spade with a
D-handle is the best tool for
turning over hard soil or for
spreading fertilizer. A long
handled spade will facilitate the
digging of deep holes or turning
over large chunks of soil.
One of the most versatile tools
far a small garden is an ordinary
hoe. Weeding, cultivating and
seeding can be done with the one
tool. Furrows can be opened
by tilting the hoe at an angle.
The same hoe will cover the
seeds and tamp them. For close
work, in crowded areas, a small
hand scratcher is helpful.
Steel Rake
A steel rake is best for most
heavy gardening. However, one
must use a steel rake with care
to avoid uprooting tender plants
and grass. Many gardeners do
their lawn-raking with a bam
boo or rubber rake.
A trowel is a handy tool for
digging up seedlings and small
plants and for puttering and
small digging. The best trowel
is the one-piece, stainless-steel
variety, with a wooden handle
covering a steel shank. The size
and shape of the trowel should
be carefully selected to fit the
gardener's hand.
Once these basic tools have
been purchased, the amateur
gardener should add others as
EASILY ADJUSTED Shelves
are easily adjusted in this steel
utility cabinet, adding to its
varied uses for the homemaker.
Without the shelves, the lower
compartment is designed for
storing brooms, mops, tha vac
uum sweeper, and other long-
handled household articles. With
addition of shelves, it can be
used for storing canned goods,
cleaning supplies, bottles, linens
or a host of other items. The
cabinet is 84 inches high, 24
inches wide, and 13 inches deep.
Whether the cabinet is used -in
the kitchen, bathroom, laundry,
or pantry, it is practically a stor
age wall in itself.
A husband who likes to cook
should have a spot in the kitch
en for his private domain. In
clude in your remodeling plans

cabinet for his salad tossing and

he needs- them. Most gardeners
possess a pruning shears, a hose,
a grass clipper, a watering can
and a wheelbarrow. These
should be selected, again, with
an eye to quality and conven
ience. All tools should be cleaned
after each use.

Adequate Place io
Work Important in
Doing Own Repairs
Having decided to join the
growing fraternity of do-it-yourself
OHI craftsmen, where do
you start? The answer, of course,
is start by selecting and equip
ing an adequate place to work, a
shop area for your do-it-yourself
activities.
In selecting the physical loca
tion for your shop, don't skimp
on space. Take every inch you
can spare. It will pay off later,
and you'll be glad you allowed
enough. As a bare minimum, six
by twelve feet will suffice, but
with stationary power tools, a
ten by twenty area is closer to
the ideal.
After choosing the spot, think
next of floor, walls, ceiling, elec
trical outlets and lighting. As
phalt, rubber or cork tile are
best for the floor. Walls can be
finished pretty much to taste,
but wood paneling or a sound
deadening insulation board are'
always good.
Allow yourself plenty of elec
trival outlets 115 volts, prop
erly grounded particularly in
the main work areas of your
shop. Overhead lighting prefer
ably fluorescent is best, and
again provide for plenty to pre
vent eye-strain on close work.
In selecting tools, make a
good choice of the hand variety
your first consideration. Buy
them individually or as a "kit,"
several good ones of which are
available by reputable manu
facturers. Perforated hardboard
panels provide a convenient way
of storing hand tools right on
the wall for easy reach.
Portable electric tools such as
the quarter inch drill and six or
eight inch saw may be your
next step.
When you select a stationary
type power tool you know you're
really in the shop "business."
A hint to save both money and
space, investigate the popular
multi-purpose units, which will
keep your investment to a mini
mum and leave more room for
other shop activity.

Four Rules Listed
For Keeping Lawn
Best way to keep a good lawn
good is to feed it twice a year
in the Spring and in the Fall.
Here are four simple rules to
follow for best results at least
cost:
(1) Feeding: When the grass
is dry broadcast a plant food
specially formulated for lawns,
2 lbs. to each 100 sq. ft. Water
the lawn immediately after ap
plying fertilizer.
(2) Watering: During late
Spring and early Summer, never
water the lawn until absolutely
necessary, then give it a good
soaking to a depth of 4 to 5
inches. . Too freauent and too
liaht waterings causa shallow
rooting and weaken the grass.
(3) Mowing: Do not clip too
close. Use a sharp mower and
adjust so as to cut at least 1V
inches above ground.
(4) Liming: Apply finely
eround limestone every three
years or so 5 lbs. per 100 sq.
ft. If soil is sandy, apply 3 lbs.
per 100 sq. ft;
Much of Fabric Is
Tested By Maker
Much of the fabric that goes
on your upholstered pieces of
furniture is actually tested by
the manufacturer before it is
sold to you.
Hundreds of fabrics are
checked for style, color, and
general" saleability. In addition,
these fabrics are tested for
sewn seam strength. A special
testing machine also determines
at what pressure the fabric will
tear, and how much it will
stretch. Fabric is also given an
abrasive test to determine the
amount of wear it will take be
fore it begins to deteriorate.
Many upholstery materials
are now treated witth a chemi
cal which- acts as an invisible
slipcover. It protects the fabrics
from spills and makes them
much more resistant to dirt
than they formerly were.
Ona of the gimplert and most
effective ways to give a new
look to an old house is to carpet
the front hall and stairway.
Gracious living is not only sug
gested in appearance, but in
