Berghoff. general paint manager of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. Berghoff said the pastel pref erences seem to have blossomed overnight.

Whillock has returned to her home at 1003 West Main street, after attending the 50th reunion of her high school graduating class at Hu mansville. Mo.. June 22. The Humansville Star Leader, re porting the reunion, commented particularly on the fact that Mrs. Whillock recited from memory a poem which she had given as part of the graduation program a half-century before. The poem, "The Source" from Henry Van Dyke's "The Blue Flower" is some 3,000 words long. Mrs. Whillock, who now cannot find the original copy from which she memorized, said she had not recited the work aloud until recently when she had been asked to give it for the reunion program. - Three of the five members of the class attended the reunion, as well as three teachers who had taught the group. The for mer pupils who attended were Mrs. Whillock, the former Edith Ham, Medford; Mrs. Deane Rec tor Mullin of Des Moines, Iowa and Edgar Carson, El Paso, Tex.

Ham, 90, of Greenfield, Mo., and his wife. Mrs. Whillock made the trip to Missouri by air. Returning west, she was met at Albu querque, N.

(W If you have trouble getting to sleep, a new coat of paint on the bed room walls may help, say home furnishing specialists at Michi gan State University. ' Bedrooms with soft colors and quiet patterns help you rest and sleep, say the experts; while gay, lively patterns and bright colors tend to be exciting. Color in the home should re flect the purjjose for which each room is used, they said. Bed rooms and rooms lived in for long hours at a time need to seem quiet and restful. The color of the hall can set the mood each family wishes to express when greeting guests. The living room is usually shared by the whole family. If the family relaxes there, listens to the radio, eats, talks and en tertains friends, the color and pattern should be restful but cheerful. But, if your family plays games, sings, dances and is generally more active, gayer colors would be more suitable. Lively patterns and colors on walls, floor and chair seats in the dining room help relieve hard, monotonous appearance of formal furniture. Clear colors are best in a kitchen, the spe cialists explained, because they look fresh and go well with white and light-colored equip ment and appliances. Easy Dinner Prepare your favorite meat loaf mixture. Pack it into an 8xll-inch loaf pan. After bak ing cut the loaf into six equal portions. Top each portion with a swirl of mashed potatoes. Place the meat squares and mashed potatoes under the broil er just long enough for the potatoes to gain a golden tinge. Use cotton muslin sheets to line wide draperies; this saves on the number of seams in the lining.
