For sisters who share the same bedroom, a room divider built
ground cotton window shades and bookcases gives privacy and
extra storage space. Made of finely woven cotton sheeting, the
jhados have an invisible vinyl finish which sheds dust.

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.

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.

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. If the youngsters tend
to kick each other under the din
ning room table try rearrang
ing the seating.
Put the kids at the end and
mother and dad across from one
another at the narrowest spot.

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.
