Cottage Stretcher
Dream Comes True
How many young housewives
have wished for a cottage stretch-
tr to give them more room and
nore privacy?
Even a one-room cottage can
(afford a degree of privacy, some
reparation of kitchen, dining, liv-
ng and sleeping quarters.
The secret is in design and in
use of space dividers.
For instance, space is a pre-
Imium in a small home and there
ire several problems involved in
dividing up this space. One is to
avoid creating several small rooms
which are confining and hard to
(decorate, so room separators, or
klividers, only slightly higher than
your head, are used in lieu of
full walls to define various use
areas.
To conserve space, put these di
viders to work. Make them serve
as storage walls and save valuable
floor space which cabinets, buf
fets, and other furniture would
Hake. They can be built of wood
o match the ceiling and wall pan-
leling either Douglas fir or west
coast hemlock are easily worked
and respond beautifully to finish-
png.
One intriguing cotlaee design
kails for kitchen, dining room and
iving room to be in an area of
twelve or fourteen feet wide by
any desired length, and a beamed
ceiling over this area gives it a
feeling of spaciousness. Here, some
division between dining space and
kitchen can be made, and the feel
ing of size retained through the
use of a divider which comes only
part way out from one wall, say
far enoughto leave a four or five
foot-wide Hallway along one wall
Even though the divider is only
seven or eight feet wide, it still
forms a clear line of demarca
tion between kitchen and dining
room.
You may not even wish to have
a separator between the living and
dining areas, for the two are fair
ly easy to integrate as far as fur
nishings and decor are concerned.
Obviously, you are going to put
the divider between kitchen and
dining room to work. You will want
to have it deep enough to accom
modate dish cupboards and, "in a
tiny kitchen, it may have to serve
as storage for much of your kitchen
ware and perhaps even cereals and
breakfast foods. ''
You can save steps by having
the dish cupboards open on either
side so that contents can be reached
from both dining room and kitch
en. They can be glass enclosed, or
you may want to have the doors
cut right out of the panel boards
so that they will form a part of
the storage wall when closed. The
grain and texture of fir and hem
lock lend themselves well to such
treatment.

PRIVACY IN THE COTTAGE. Can you design a cottage in the open area theme with ex
posed beams and ceiling and still have privacy? The answer is yes. Here is a prime ex
ample of a charming cottage in the open theme with the feeling of spaciousness. Sturdy
Douglas fir posts and beams have been stained to contrast with lighter toned cedar
paneling in divider wall and in ceiling.
age cabinets are good in a small
home because they do not take
up floor space when open.
These storage units can be quite
simple, with only a bit of con
trasting trim around the top to
serve as decoration, for the com
bination of the rich colorings of
fir or hemlock and their incom
parable grain needs little further
embellishment When the wood has
been finished naturally. However,
if the ceiling and wall paneling
have been finished in clear var
nish, you may want to paint the
divider for contrast.
This divider is a simple, yet
very effective device designed to
give much more livability to a
cottage. It is a way to use your
space efficiently and still avoid
that cooped-up feeling of small
rooms.
A record crop of turkeys is be
ing raised in Oregon and across
the nation this year, reports
Stephen C. Marks, extension agri
cultural economist at Oregon Mate
College.
He says the total number of tur
keys in Oregon this year will top
last year's record high by two per
cent. While the number of heavy
breed turkeys in the state is down
about one per cent, an increase
of more than 20 per cent in the
number of light turkeys has more
than offset the slightly smaller
output of heavies.
Nationwide, the turkey crop will
also top all records. U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture reports show
that turkey growers across the
country will produce a record 81
million of the big bids this year,
Marks says. This tops last year's
high by about five per cent.
In contrast to the situation In
Oregon, heavy breeds across the
nation are up about six per cent
while light-breed turkeys show a
decrease of three per cent.
Last January, the nation's farm
ers had indicated they intended to
raise nearly 13 per cent more of
the heavy-breed turkeys than the
year before. However, a very
heavy early-season hatch of poults
coupled with prices below a
year earlier caused producers to
cut back on their purchases of
poults as the months rolled by,
Marks explained.
The hatch of poults during the
six4)ionth period of September
through February was particularly
heavy, he says. But starting in
May of this year, poult hatchings
dropped sharply below those of a
year earlier.
This means there will probably
be a heavy early-market run of
11157 turkeys, Marks points out.

GOLDFISH
Tn the wild state, goldfish gen
erally are greenish-brown in color.
The gold color has been produced
by selective breeding, and, if the
fish resume life under natural con
ditions, they lose their striking ap
pearance and revert to their ori
ginal color.
