Desks Useful, And Decorative In Living Room By JOYCE SCHULLER Chicago -iUPIU Use a desk to set off a corner of the liv ing room for reading, writing and hobbies. It makes good decorating sense with the proper choice of functional furniture. First requisite: a desk that looks attractive from the front as well as behind. You might consider on with book-shelves built into the front. Set the desk at right angles with a wall, just far enough from the corner to leave space for a big easy chair and end table. Built-in bookcases would be ideal along the other wall forming the corner, but wall-hung ones take up little extra space and look as good. Hanging Lamp A hanging lamp over the desk, preferably one with a wide shade to spread light over a large area, can provide illumination for desk as well as chair, eliminating the clut ter of an extra end table lamp or floor fixture. Wall-mounted lamps are a particularly good choice. Many of the newer models telescope in and out from the wall, swing from one side to another and lift or lower to throw light wherever It's ; needed. More practical than a wood surfaced desk, if the corner is to provide space for hob bies, too, are the many now surfaced with plastics such as formica or fibcrcsin. Paste, ink, paints, clay or scissors won't mar these washable sur faces. Final Touch . For a final decorator touch, give the corner an area rug ;of its own. Consider a pat terned rug if the rest of the living room is carpeted in a solid color, but keep the pat tern small and simple not to detract from the main rug j Synthetic fiber rugs are the imost practical for the pur pose, since spilt ink or paints generally can be washed out I readily. Houseguesrs Mr. and Mrs. Huse McKin ncy. of 422 Soulh Fir street, have as their houseguests their daughter and grandson of Juneau. Alaska. Mrs. Robert Holficld and son, Bradford. They plan to slay about three weeks. Mr. Holficld is a ser geant with the state police of Alaska. accidents. An easy way to organize the work is to make out a written list of tasks for each member of the family, sug gests Jean Kinkead, woman's consultant for The Travelers Insurance companies. Here's a checklist of clean-up jobs vou can assign to members of the family according to age and muscle power. Start in Attic Starting with the room at the top, the attic, throw away old papers, boxes and cartons that have accumulated. It will save time if you go through things first yourself, mark everything that is to go and then let junior supply the brawn for carting it out. Another good job for a teenager is a thorough check of the wiring in the house. Baseboard plugs, lamps and appliances should all be exam ined carefully for fraying or looseness. Make sure there are no wires running under carpets and that every mem ber of the household has a lamp handy to his bed. Do Yourself A job you should do your self is the locking away of drugs and poisons. Remember that some of your cleaning materials are potentially dan gerous, too, and should be out of reach of small children. The children's toys are apt to be found all over the house and a baseball bat on the stairs invites an accident. An assignment for each child might be the colection of his own toys and belongings, put away in his own toybox or bookcase. The cellar'is all too handy a place for storing things and junk is apt to pile up quickly, making a real fire hazard. Papers, half empty paint cans, old rags and worn rugs should be removed. Your husband might also check the furnace for cleaning and make sure there are a couple of buckets of sand or a fire extinguisher handy. Also, the oasement stairs should be well lighted, in good repair and have sturdy handrails. Clear Yard Piles of autumn leaves and dead brush should be cleared out of the yard. If there's no pick-up service in your neigh borhood, have "dad" burn the trash in an Incinerator or near the center of a clear field. Burn only a little at a time and have a hose handy. Never burn on a windy day and be sure you know your local fire ordinances. Put summer gardening tools In an out-of-the-way corner. Drain the power mower of gasoline and hang up sharp instruments such as sickles and pruning shears out of the children's reach. If you've done a lot of painting and furniture refinishing during the summer, be sure cans and bottles are tightly closed and that no soaked rags are left in corners. Check Policies Take a minute to check out your insurance policies to see that you are fully protected from fire, liability and theft.
