These are some of the questions
that you will be asking. And you

You probably will consult with
experts in your community and

is in, you are the judge. This is
your home you are developing.
, You will have to live in it, work
in it. wnen Kitchen ana laundry
bathroom and basement have been
supplied with the appropriate ao
pliances, you will use them. The
best time to make your home
yours is before you decide which
of the many devices you will se
lect.
LEARN YOUR NEEDS "
Find out what you need to the
way of plumbing, wiring, flooring.
lighting, ventilation, to use various
types oi appliances. They may in
fluence your decision.
Then sit down and map out what
; you are going to do with the space
in your nome that is available for
your purposes.
: One of the best ways of plan
ning in advance is to use paper
models. You know how your kitch
en, your bathroom and your laun
dry look now. You can measure
their dimensions. Then you can
find put the size of the appliances
you want to use.
Sit down and make a scale
drawing of the space. Get some
light cardboard and make draw
ings of the appliances on the same
scale. Now cut them out.
On your drawing of your rooms
you will Indicate where windows
and doors are located, how big
they are and how they open. When
you begin to lay the scale models
of appliances on the drawing of
your rooms, you can take the open
ings in the walls Into considera
tion. CARDBOARD MODELS
You can move one of your card
board models with a flick of your
finger. Once you get appliances
into your house it is an expensive
business to move them around.
The expense is bad enough. It ts
worse to have an appliance that
annoys you every time you use it
because it Is in the wrong place.
The most complicated room to
plan is your kitchen. It is basically
a work room, although many fami
lies are now planning kitchens
which are also social centers. If
you plan to have a social center
as well as a work room you must
take extra care that the social
phases of your plan do not hamper
the work.
Experts on kitchen planning say
the best kitchens have three vital
centers.
First is the preparation center.
Shis is where you put your in
gredients together to make the
dishes that eventually Teach your
table.
" Then you have the cooking and
serving center, and third is the
sink area. Each has its quota of
storage and work surfaces.
KITCHEN SHAPES
At. first glance, it might appear
there would be an infinite number
1 of ways in which these areas with
their subsidiary items could be ar
ranged. But the kitchen planning
experts say that a few baslo plans
will be found to picture the many
various ways in which the arrange
ments can be made.
One of the most common is the
U shape In which all equipment is
lined up against three walls. The
L shaped kitchen is built into a
corner of the room. The corridor
kitchen often is appropriate If you
have a dead-end room. Here the
spaces are laid out against two
opposite walls.
If you have a large room for a
kitchen two other plans are pos
sibilities. One is the peninsula
kitchen. This is often used to di
vide a large space. Some of your
working equipment can be lined up
along one side of the peninsula.
On the other side there might be
a dining area or a home laundry.
The same problem of space is
sometimes met with an Island
kitchen. Here you usually place
one of the three basie work cen
ters as an island.
OPEN PLANNING
In the use of either the penin
sula or Island arrangement it is
often convenient to arrange your
working equipment on one side
and line the back with storage
cabinets.
In addition, some kitchens are
planned in a straight line with
all equipment placed against one
wall. This plan is often used In the
so-called "open planning" houses
where the kitchen is a part of
the living room.
Experts suggest that the import
ant thing in planning your kitchen
is to arrange It so that the work
moves smoothly from one center
to the other. You will want to
give careful consideration to the
flow of work. But another very im
portant thing ts to make sure it
is your kitchen. !
Push Buttons Help Bring Family Together
Freezer Saves Food
A survey shows the average fam
ily wastes 10 per cent of its budg
et on food spoilage and waste.
That doesn't happen when you
have a quick freezer.
At least one manufacturer has
perfected a method which permits
food to be covered while It is
broiling, A glass seal prevents
grease from spattering Into the
broiling unit.
Modern appliances help bring
American families back together.
Push-button homework ts freeing
wife and mother for more lime
with her husband and children.
Beauty engineered into kitchen and
laundry by the manufacturers is
making these rooms added centers
for tbe family and their friends.
But no one can claim full credtt
tor the job. It was a team opera
tion. ;
First came the family itself. A
few years ago Americans looked
around at the lives they were liv
ing and did not like what they
saw;
' Home," they said, "has become
a place where you sleep most
nights and eat most of your meals,
but it has got to the point where
it isn't much else.".
Social scientists got to work and
reported the complaint was accur
ate. Mother, father and the chil
dren above the toddler stage were
finding the main center of their
iives outside the home. The scien
tists spelled out their findings in
learned articles. Popular writers
recast such reports and more peo
ple became aware of the problem.
So Americans began to do some
thing about ft. It's a habit Amer
icans have. Among the first to be
heard from were those with a radi
cal solution.
"Let's build our houses like the
pioneer homes, all in one room,"
they suggested.
Most of them didn't go quite
that far. They partitioned off bath
rooms and bedrooms. But even
bedrooms sometimes had folding
partitions and could be mado a
part of the big main room.
Some of these houses are still
being built. But they show few
signs of being popular.
Meanwhile the makers of house
hold equipment continued to im
prove their product. That process
has been going on for a long time.
It is a job hammered out in re
search laboratries and carried
forward, in processes that some-:
limes take years, in manufactur
ing and sales.
Then the American family came
RADICAL Here's how on family tolved the problem of
bringing American social life back to the home. The unusual
nature of the solution' it symbolized by the combination fire
place and barbecue in the foreground. But note that a modem
kitchen has been incorporated as part of the living area in
the background of the picture. Many families have found
they can bring about the tame effects by using more con
ventional home planning and modern automatic home appli-
back into the picture. They put
together some of the kitchens and
laundries made possible by the
new equipment.
The result was action.
"These rooms," they said, "are
beautiful, pleasant places to be.
The family can gather here. We
can welcome our friends in such
places," '
The sales curve for the new ap
pliance is one answer; Americans
are buying them. In many cases
,hey are creating larger kitchens
and larger laundries, sometimes
thrown into one single large room.
These have become new centers
for family life of the type Amer
icans knew a generation ago. His
torians point out that the kitchen
as a social center has a rich tra
dition in American life. Some oi
our older citizens can recall such
centers in older homes where a
quiet, confident mother went on
cooking or doing other kitchen
chores while chatting with her
irienas or caring lor ner children
in the intervals.
But an even more startling de
velopment came when people be
gan to use the new equipment.
Kitchen and laundry chores jast
don't require the attention they
did in Grandma's friendly kitchen.
