SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1958 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Wood Paneling Creates Warm, Friendly Feeling Wood paneling seems to go nat urally with casual living and in formality. It's a popular material for fam ily rooms and other multi-purpose functional living areas that are be coming so important in today's ' homes. Wood paneling creates an air of warmth and comfort that few other materials can match. When using wood, there is also a great deal of opportunity for the home-owner to express individuali ty. For instance, any of the 10 species from the western pine re gion is available in knotty or clear grades. Each species has its own characteristic grain and tone and. in knotty grades, a distinctive knot .pattern.- In the natural state, the woods range from the very white of Idaho white pine and the bright white of Engelmann spruce through the pale straw of pon deroas pine. On the darker side there are larch, incense cedar, and inland red cedar. Other species that may be stocked by the lum ber dealer include white fir, Doug- las fir, sugar pine, and lodgepole pine. However, the natural tone is of lesser importance if the paneling is to be stained. Brush-on-wipe-off finishes are attracting a great deal of attention because they permit paneling to be stained to any de sired color and still snow its gram and knot pattern. Width of the paneling, methods of installation, and patterns at the joint' provide additional means of giving distinctive touches. Paneling from the western pine region is available in widths 01 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches and some times narrower or wider. A more sophisticated effect is achieved with wide pieces installed in uni form fashion. On the more infor mal side are combinations of two or more of the narrower widths. Widths may be alternated regu larly in regular progression 6, 8, 10, 12; 6, 8, 10, 12 or in a step-up, step-down pattern 6, 8, 10, 12, 10, 8, 6. For maxiumum informality there is a catch-as-catch-can ran dom width, taking the boards as they are picked up. Another opportunity for express ing individuality is offered in the choices of patterns at the joint. Among the most popular patterns, V-ioint and bull-nose express sim plicity: the butterfly and double butterfly re more ornate. With the advice of any lumber dealer, attractive walls to suit any taste can be created in any home. hMf 1 1 tiff J I 'I i J J ;.

FARNSWORTH United Press International NEW YORK (UPD All you need is a skyfull of sun and about 20 minutes to boil a steak. An aluminum device, resembling a daziling umbrella and called an "Umbroiler," concentrates the sun's heat on a 10-inch cooking area, giving your steak the equiva lent of 1,000 watts of heat on a grille. The complete solar cooker, with four sand-cast fittings, grille sup port and aluminum tripod, folds into an easily portable 30 - inch package weighing only four pounds, says the manufacturer, Umbroiler Company, Denver. .

Fish And Game Work Over Century To Be Featured In Oregon Centennial One hundred years of progressl in the management of fish and game in Oregon wili be the theme of an outdoor exhibit by the Ore gon State Game Commission at the 1959 Oregon Centennial Expo sition and International Trade Fair.

Highlights of important events that took place in earlier years will be pictured. Among these will be the introduction of pheasants into Oregon from China in 1881; the transporting of elk from Wyo ming into Wallow County in 1912; the old Rainbow railroad car used to distribute fish throughout the state in earlier years; and scenes of market hunting that took place before regulations or laws were placed into eftect. A scene of one of the early fish hatcheries and fish packing operations will also be presented. Included with the historical scenes will be displays of Oregon wildlife and fish. These will be placed in natural settings along one side of the display area. A scene of typical wildlife habi tat of both eastern and western portions of the state will dominate the center area of the display. At one end will be a large re lief map of the state showing the location of all field installations of the game commission, such as hatcheries, game farms and game management areas. The relief map will also serve to display the dis tribution of various fish and game farms throughout the state. Legends to be included for each 20-year period in the one hundred year span will list important fish and game events that have taken ulace throughout the years. Working the game commission in developing the exhibit is Robert Drenner of Culp Creek, Oregon. a noted West Coast muralist and designer of dioramas.

Y. Fowler, Ore-; gon State College livestock mar keting specialist. j President large feed supplies at low cost are paving the way for continued increases in livestock production. Expected hog slaugh ter for 1959 is five per cent above 1956 when prices early that year dropped to $12 a hundredweight at Portend, Fowler states. Market analysts believe pork prices next fall will be at their iowest point since the winter of 1955-56. How far prices drop is still keyed to next spring farrow ings. Hog producers throughout the nation have been warned of pos sible overexpansion in 199 and the following few years. Fowler advises Oregon growers to gear breeding programs to expected price drops in the near future and get set for a return of better, prices later. Cattlemen face a different situa-i Hon. Abundant low-cost forage and grain is giving a boost to herd expansion, longer feeding periods. and heavier weights in I9a. feed er cattle prices have now climbed to the level of choice finished steer prices, the specialist points out. ' Cattle numbers on farms now at an all-time high are expected to increase through 190. setting the stage for beef price declines sometime in the early l!iv)s, Fow ler says. He adds-that a herd ex pansion boom such as 1950-52 would likely lead to another market col j lapse such as in 1953. 1 Commercial Printing Business Forms Letterheads Envelopes Cards Invoices Statements Checks Designed Especially To Fit Your Needs All Types of Snap Out Forms GUIDE PRINTING CO.
