EYE APPEAL-A gentling Influence is often needed In the
home where "right angles" of walls, furniture and picture
frames dominate. The welcome interruption are famous Ron-delays-multi-colored
glass circles that project into a room
on a 24-inch brass arm. Designed to respond gently to room
air currents, the glass circles occasionally tinkle softly.

Many Newer Kitchens
Are Bright, Attractive
High on "want lists" is an
Improved modernized kitchen.
Some of the kitchens can
be planned for a "split de
sign" which will provide
room for a dining area. Sep
arate dining facilities in the
kitchen save the homemaker
time and effort, especially
when the children look for a
snack. ,
All kitchens should be
bright and attractive. Break
ing away from the traditional
white, many of the newer kit
chen plans stress Interesting
color combinations and eye
catching patterns.
Plans calling for contrast
ing decors create a feeling of
greater speciousness and call
attention to the separate din
ing area. One of the contin
uing popular paneling ma
terials for modern kitchens is
"Marlite," which comes in
plain colors and woodgrains.
The kitchen's dominant col
or theme can be accented by
using this panting in a har
monizing color or handsome
woodgrain in the dining area.
Some kitchens feature the
plastic-surfaced hardboard in
a distinctive woodgrain on all
main walls.

These, of course, are only
random survey suggestions.
After your own survey is
made, the next step is to de
termine as closely as possible
the exact cost of the projects
planned.
Be sure to get estimates
from reputable contractors or
dealers in your area if the
projects are beyond your "do-it-yourself"
abilities.
It is a wise idea to seek out
established businessmen in
your community known to
you and your neighbors.
Remember that almost any
major home Improvement is
apt to require some kind of
financing. If you plan to add
a room, finish the attic or
build a swimming pool, be
sure to consult your local
lending institutions.
They will advise you on all
phases of home improvement
financing . . . direct reduction
loans, time payments, refinan
cing of your mortgage, open
end mortgages, FHA Title I
and other methods.
In the opinion of the Home
Improvement council - the
family's expenditure for home
improvement is more "like
money in the bank" than any
other possible purchase.
, In terms of convenience
and appearance, a modernized
home will increase its value
to the family far beyond the
financial expenditures for the
improvements.

Liquified Petroleum
Gas Makes All Homes
Within Reach of Gas
SPECIAlfSrS IN
245 S. Central at 10th
Thanks to the marvels of
modern technology, homes not
connected to gas mains can
have all of the advantages of
natural gas service by using
liquefied petroleum gas. '
. A pure concentrate of ener
gy, it burns quickly and com
pletely without soot, smoke
or smell. The main- differ
ence between natural gas and
LP-Gas is that the latter is
brought to the customer in
tank trucks and stored in
household tanks, often called
"backyard gas wells."
The availability of LF-uas
makes it possible for people
in the suburbs, small towns
and rural areas to enjoy
everything that's new in most
modern appliances.
For Healing
LP-Gas central heating
plants are now so compactly
designed that they may De in
stalled in a closet, in crawl
space or under the eaves. Cen
tral heating plants are of 4
basic types: gravity, forced
air, hot water or steam. Inc
dentally, an LP-Gas heated
home is never without instant
hot water.
The modern all-purpose LP-
Gas range is designed to meet
the '.inction of fryer, cooker,
grill, broiler, steamer, heater,
oven, and rotlssene.
An attractive, streamlined
appearance-styled in keeping
with other modern equipment
is emphasized in the free
stanng, built-in, or stack-on
models now available.
Additional Advantage
An additional advantage of
the LP-Gas flame is that It
actually absorbs and burns up
smoke and cooking odors.
New super-sanitary LP-Gas
smokeless and odorless Incin
erators actually consume their
own smoke. The only product
of combustion is a fine ash
. useful as a fertilizer. Safe
and silent, these modern units
are also used in hospitals.
A compact 30-gallon LP-
Gas water heater constantly
stays ahead of peak laundry
day demand. It will Keep wa

Ing, dishwashing, general
cleaning and an average of
three laundry loads.
For the Laundry
Today's modern homemaker
does not have to bother about
the weather If her home Is
equipped with an automatic
LP-Gas dryer. The gentle fluff
drying action has clothes
ready to wear again in
liffv.
Besides being kinder to fab
rics, experts say that the use

many large families.
LP-Gas refrigerators are so
quiet you can't even hear a
hum. And they are permanent
ly silent because a gas flame
does the work.
Many LP-Gas dealers offer
