PAGE 6 T HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1958 Basements Solve The Heat Problem Keeping cool in summer by ra dialling your own body heat awav from you is a dandy trick, and it works when you surround your felt wilh cool walls and floors This kind of radiation explains the popularity of basement recreation rooms on hot days, says the Con emit! ion Research Bureau, nation si clearing house for building in formation. "Basements remain cool becausi Die earth can keep a constant year round temperature of about 54 de Erees below the frost line," tin Bureau explains. "Since heat waves always travel from warm lo cooler objects, we feel coolei in a basement even when the aii temperature is the same as in oth er rooms. "A concrete basement floor cov ered wilh modern resilient floor covering will be relatively warm in zero weather and refreshingly cool in summer because of the steady ground temperature. The ccvclopment of this brightly col ored, waterproof and greaseproof lioor covering has been a big fac tor in making neat and comfort able basements economically pop ular. Water-mixed cement paint on walls transforms a basement into a theerful and easy-to-clean room. These Girls Live In Music World AS MUSIC AND SPLENDOUR. by Kate O'Brien. (Harper) is the elory of two girls learning to sing and to live in the exacting world of grand opera in Paris and Rome 70-odd years ago. Clare Halvey and Rose Lennane were a pair of literally penniless Irish teen-agers when they began their apprenticeship in music at a Paris convent to which they had been admitted in 1896 under a scholarship arrangement. With five years, each in her own way bad achieved a promising measure of success, and each had learned some of the unpleasant facts of Lie. Like the Shelley who wrote the passage from which As Music and Splendour takes its title, Kate O'Brien takes a dim view of love in this novel. Not only Clare and Hose but virtually every subsidi ary character in the book has had his fingers burned at the votive lire of Kros. Miss O'Brien, a firmly establish ed novelist and playwright, tells Iht tare of disenchantment with perception and style, successfully conveying the essentials of illicit am) perverse love without going into clinical detail. Ask Continuation Of Market Work . Agriculture Director Robert J. Steward this week announced that federal matching funds have been requested to continue four Oregon marketing service projects through the fiscal year beginning July 1. These include joint studies and elforls by the Slate Department of Agriculture and the stale col lege experiment station on: (I) improving filbert storage methods lo facilitate holding over sin plus crop production and even out seasonal supplies and prices: C2 potato storage and handling methods for diflerent consumer uses; 13) the effects of variations in temperature and humidity on field seeds in storage and in ship ment: and (41 means of develop ing and assuring virus-free nur sery stuck. Wrap Corn In Bacon Paeon broiled corn on the cub makes a good hullcr-saving lunch eon dish. Boil husked fresh corn in salted water to cn er for 4 6 minutes, or until almost tender. Drain nnd wrap each ear in 2 strips bacon, skewering bacon end3 with toothpicks. Place in prclicaied broiler 4 inches from heat source nnd cook 7 min utes, or until bacon is crisp, turn ing to rock on all sides. Remove bacon and serve with corn.

The builtin drawers of clear ponderosa pine, one of the popular species from the western pine region, blend at tractively with the knotty paneling of the wall and ceiling and the painted bricks. ALL DRESSED UP and a parade to ride in. That was the idea when these youngsters boarded old Dobbin for the recent Kiddies Parade held on Main Street as a kickoff to the Fourth of July celebration in Klamath Falls. Roast Corn On Cob Fresh corn on the cob is es pccially flavorful when roasted in toil, either on an outdoor grill or in a preheated 425 degree oven. Husk corn, remove silks, nnd place each ear or. a square of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, top with a thin slice of butter or margarine, and wrap securely by making a double lengthwise fold on top of the ear. turn up ends, and told against the corn. On an outdoor grill, bake 20-25 minutes, or until tender, turning to cook uniformly. Oven-baked corn takes approximately the same bak- ng lime, depending on the age of the corn and size of the ears. Serve in the foil, wilh the fold opened and turned back. KKEPS GREAT SEAL The Secretary- of Slate has charge of the (ireat Seal of tbe United Stales. He must impress it on all important documents. Laws do not take effect until he has put the Great Seal on them. Wood Paneling Fits Well In Any Home Inierior Fruit Shipments About The Same If predictions come true, the amount of fresh fruits and voge tables shipped from Oregon in the year 1958-59 will be about the same as the total for. the year which ends June 30. The seers respon sible for this estimate double as federal-slate shipping point super visors in Oregon. These eight men who are sta tioned at Ontario. Milton-Kreewa-ter. Hood River, Portland. Salem.

Wood is one material that fits in well in any decorative period It is equally suited to a contem porary or an early American set ting for every room of the house One reason for the increasing popularity of wood in modern homes is its versatility. On the one hand, it is ideal for meeting demands for efficient use of space: on the other hand, it can provide the desirable color and textures for any type of setting. The easy workability and "fin ishability" of the woods of the western pine region have helped to popularize them in contempor ary settings. Because they are economical soft woods, they are well suited for builtins designed to use the available wall space to the best advantage in modern houses and apartments where space is at a premium. Because they lend themselves to any finishing treat ment, they blend well with any materials that are employed in modern settings. In a small bedroom, built ins can be constructed to utilize the space along an entire wall much more efficiently than any standard fur niture pieces. Drawer, cabinet, closet and shelf space may be provided just where it is needed. A series of drawer units may run along one wall and connect with shelves that run to the bed, providing a conven ient substitute for night tables. When it comes to exercising in dividual expression, the 10 species of the western pine region offer almost unlimited choices. The range includes stock with big. splashy knots or small, neat knots numerous or widely scattered or with no knots. Ponderosa pine, Idaho white pine, and sugar pine are among the most popular species and are widely available in lumber yards But some of the lesser known spe cies may offer a good buy and provide just the effect that sought. For instance, lodgepole pine has tight, widely-spaced knots that may be well suited to a con temporary setting. Other species include Engel- mann spruce, larch, white fir Time Is Natural Wood Darkener All wood darkens with age. This natural "sun tannine" produces the rich patina that has made wood paneled walls a cenluries- old favorite in American homes. It is possible to reproduce the weathered effect of age with rea sonable accuracy in finishing wood paneling. However, says the West ern Pine Association, it should also be kept in mind that the "sun tanning" process will occur re gardless of the original finish. in deciding on a finish, think about the tone that is wanted eventually. Then apply stain that will be several shades lighter to begin with. Age will moke up the difference, says the Western Pine Association. The same principle applies if wood is given a natural finish. In that case, the natural tone of the selected species must be consid ered. Exposure of wood lo light pro duces slow oxidation of the sur face fibers, causing a permanent chemical change in the color of the wood s surface. Nutrition Is Means Of Insect Control Nutrition as a means of insect control, that's the possibility seen in recent LSDA experiments. Department scientists have found that spider mites attacking pole lima beans were easy to kill when the beans were supplied with prop er amounts of nitrogen, phosphor ous and potassium. And they also found that mites were harder to kill on plants re ceiving less or more of the proper nourishment. They now suspect that resistance to insecticides, so often found in insects, may ac tually be the result of variations in plant nutrient levels. Douglas fir, inland red cedar, and incense cedar. Any lumber dealer will be glad to show samples of the different species, widths, and patterns of paneling that he has available and to discuss what combinations are suited to the particular decor. In finishing the paneling, among the most popular treatments for contemporary settings are the brush-on-wipe-off treatments. They can provide any desired color and at the same time allow the char acteristic grain and knot pattern of the wood to show through. There are numerous ready-mixed com mercial stains and pigments on the market or a little experimentation in do-it-yourself mixing will yield the desired effect.
