Made of finely woven cotton sheeting, the jhados have an invisible vinyl finish which sheds dust. Shades, Book Shelves Used For Room Divider !, Baffled by space problems of the earthly variety? Most (am flics with growing children are, ioonor or later. ' I For a . simple and practical jolulion, the National Cotton council suggests a room divider In j 1 1 around colorful cotton win ow shades and bookshelves. ! Such a device paid handsome dividends in the case of two sisters ages 14 and 10 who shared the same bedroom. Dull from a decorating standpoint fend inadequate in terms of privacy and storage, the room Was transformed into delightful quarters assuring each girl of her own personal domain as veil as ample place for her elongings. : The divider, which you might want to adapt to your own space problems, is simple to construct and inexpensive. ( Materials cost about $30.) Consisting of three frames set atop roomy base cabinets, the divider is ceiling high and requires only a mini mum of floor space. Makes Book Shelves One frame, set against the wall, holds shallow book shelves which open on each side. Under neath arc sliding door cabinets which also open from both sides. Two of the frames house wash able bluc-and-whitc striped cot ton shades which can be raised or lowered, according to whim or activity. . Since there was no budget for hew furniture to individualize t-ach girl's section, a skillful col or scheme was worked out to ' Calendar Tuesday: 6:30 p.m. Pythian Sisters.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. 19M It-.'- ,J x establish the .room's split per sonality without detracting from the total harmony. Each girl was given the sat isfaction of her own color scheme. New cotton curtains, bedspreads, and accent rugs in blues for the younger girl and more sophisticated violet for the teenager injected fresh charm and vitality. Over-all un ity was achieved through iden tical trims and accents. Crisp bluc-and-whitc striped cotton matching the divider shades topped dressing tables, bordered the curtains, and made a dust ruffle. A warm apple green accent was carried throughout in repainted chairs, new cushions, and upholstery on other seating surfaces. All of the existing furniture was retained, but was rearrang ed In keeping with the age and interests of each girl. The older girl, for example, created the effect of a sofn-bed com plete with tailored violet cover and bolsters by borrowing a footboard from her sister. Retaining the original head board, the younger girl had it painted a gleaming white and teamed It with a bright blue throw and perky striped dust ruffle. With the addition of peg board, the spare headboard be came a unique bulletin board for the teen-age sister. Desk Added An old night stand, treated to a slab tup and new five-and-dime hardware, supplied a desk for the younger girl. Still oth er good do-it-yourself ideas arc seen in a teen-age dressing ta ble made by skirting a wall shelf; a vintage piano stool re trieved from the attic, painted, and upholstered in apple green cotton to make a vanity chair: and a versatile "storage square" constructed of five squares of hardwood plus a hinged top and casters. Topped with an apple green cushion, It leads a dou ble life as a toy chest and ex tra seat. Ceiling Height Divider as pictured was con structed ceiling height, 8 ft. 7 in., with three equal framed openings, 28 in. wide. Two frames hold shades installed with simple inside brackets. The third contains shallow book shelves, 12 in. high, 8 in. deep, a set on each side of divider. Base cabinets were made 18 in. high, 20 in. wide, with three sets sliding doors in each side, set in simple aluminum slides, top and bottom, and finished with brass knobs. Variations: The divider can be made in any dimensions to suit the room. The bookcase sec tion might be placed in the cen ter or omitted entirely, and the base could be made desk height with open space (or the knees. Women's News Cathy Bradford and Carolyn Porter. The luncheon had "Youth In Red Cross" as its theme and among those attending were teacher-sponsors from various schools in Jackson county who assist the chapter with Red Cross activities in the schools. WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER By BERNICE Oregon Stat It's back to school, not only for youngsters but for many moth ers, too. Homemakers have call ed us to ask how they can get all their work done while taking college courses in hopes of get ting back to teaching again. Teachers are certainly needed and we commend liiem for tak ing on extra rcsponsibilit i e s. This calls for careful time plan ning, and each person s problem is different. Our Extension bul letin "Work Smarter Not Harder" will give you some ideas. Write me at OSU for your free copy. Smart mothers take a look at changing the environment if they want to change a child's Denavior. Mrs. Roberta Fmsier. OSU family life specialist for the Extension Service, cites this example.

STRAWN University Sometimes just a simple rear rangement will make life easier for everyone. A good way to start is to take an objective look at some of the situations which end in trouble. White wool or wool blend sweaters turn yellow or streak if put in the sun to dry. This was the sad experience of a young lady who wrote us recently. We were sorry to tell her the process can t be reversed and chlorine bleach should not be used. It damages wool and doesn't help. Before you wash a wool swea ter, lay it flat on a bath towel and outline the shape with basting tread or pins. Wool sweaters should be soak ed in lukewarm water and mild soap. Don't rub, but gently squeeze suds through the swea ter. Rinse in lukewarm water. Gently squeeze, don't wring. Lay sweater on the towel and shape to original outline. Dry on a flat surface away from sun and heat. Garbage disposers are groan ing with melon rinds, corn cobs and fruit pits. And isn't it always when a party is on that the dis poser goes off! Maybe it's re belling because of abuse. Rubber and metal bands that come around bunches of market vegetables cause trouble. Don't let glass or metal objects fall in the disposer. Do you know where and how to set the manual reset button? Your instruction book will tell you, and you'll need to know. Always start cold water run ning before you turn on the dis poser. Never use hot water. Avoid chemical drain cleaners. Some manufacturers of dispos ers void the warranty if these chemicals have been used.
