JENKINS HARDWARE CO.
NORTH WILKESBORO, N. C. .
■ By OAUraUi >■' . ,
(Manager JenUas Hardwaire Co.)_
Here’s an Idea 'fiw yonr new'
house paint color arrangement.
Do yon wonder how It will look
with the new colors? Why not
take several snapshots, have them
printed on a soft finish paper and
try your color Ideas on the prints.
Then, too, you may want to
look at color conrolnatlons used
on homes of similar architecture.
It’s really worth while devoting
a little time to perfecting a love
ly color scheme. Yon will also
want to consider bow yonr Idea
will harmonize with your neigh
bor’s house colors. Take advant
age of the nearby colors to lend
a more harmonious setting to
your own color presentation.
Certain color schemes are aseo-
clated with styles of achltecture.
Add to this the present mode or
style of color and you have a
foundation from which to plan.
At present a survey shows the
order of color popularity as fol
lows: 61 ;per cent white; then
ivory, cream, gray; light tan, buff,
lemon yellow and pale green In
that order. In 63 per cent of the
homes no trim color was used. A
wide variety of trim colors -made J
up the balance. White and Ivory •
account for 62 per cent of the.
cash colors. The principal appli
cation of gay color seems to pre- j
dominate In shutters. Ofter when :
no shutters are located on the I
ground level, the sash is often!
painted to match the upstairs j
shutters. Doors, too, are often j
painted to match the shutters.
While we’re spewing of colors,
let’s see what color will do to
change the physical appearance
of a house. Of course, your house
will always look better with «'
gleaming new coat of any well
planned color. But suppose you
want to make your house appear
larger. Naturally you would use
a light color—perhaps even white
and without a trim color. Paint j
right out to the corners with your!
light body color so the eye Is not |
confined within the areas outlin
ed by any trim. However, If you
want to make It appear smaller,
use a dark "receding’’ color with
an even darker trim for contrast
to the ibody color.
Now let’s consider how practi
cal color is; If you happen to live
in a smoky locality a darker col
or Is advised to camouflage soot
and smoke. Tau is an excellent
color of wide practical latitude.
White is always In good taste
and it’s a little cooler in summer
too, because it reflects the sun’s
rays. The most -practical and saf
est color for shutters is a careful
ly selected fade proof green.
Green is Nature’s predominant
color and is usually quite pleasing
in any surroundings. Gray is a
color for houses located in indus
trial sections. Warmer colors and
deeper tones are pleasing where
“gray’’ days of cold or cloudy
weather are the rule.
Tall narrow houses can be
made to appear lower and wider
by keeping the body light and the
trim dark. Low, squatty houses
can be made to appear much tall
er ly painting all vertical lines In
the trim color and the horizontal
lines in the body color.
Now is a good time to paint
while the temperature is between
50 and 85 and the air is free
from dust and there aren’t many
insects. See your favorite paint
dealer for color charts and sug
gestions to simplify your paint
problem.

The memorial poppies to be
worn here Saturday, May 25, In
honor of the World Wbr dead
have been made by the disabled
comrades of the dead In Veterans
Hospital at Oteen. Poppy making
has developed into a nation-wide
Industry for the disabled veter
ans and pats more than $100,000
each year Into the pockets of
these men who have no other way
of earning money.
The work of making popples
begins early In the winter In most
of the hospitals, under direction
of the state organlzalon of the
American Legion Auxiliary and
Employment Is Uindted to
erans faeelvlng little or no gov
ernment com-pensatlon, with pref
erence going to those haring
families to support. ’The number
of flowers each man can shape
pe1r day is restricted to guard a-
gainst over-taxisf ’kit -‘'strength.
Many'of the med -IMibme so ex
pert that they ekh'make several
hundred popples in a brief work
ing day.
Money Is not the only benefit
the veterans derive from the pop
py-work. Making the
flowers lightens dreary hospital
iiouTs for them, .^.ehcodtagec^ ' a
healthful state of mlflV; and as a
form of occupational tftarapy,
helps spGjd their refcovdry. i-'
