Designed and made over materials, adding comfort, color charm and convenience, were utilized in making the rooms extremely at tractive. The 4-H club girls have become their own decorators and have and certainly should deserve praise for their attractive rooms. The thirteen girls that competed in the contest were Misses Sarah Summey, of Racepath, and Evelyn Wells, Piney Ridge, who gaining an average of 44 and 5-10 points each and tieing for first place; Misses Nancy and Elizabeth Holler, Union Mills, second; Miss Pauline Hughes, Oakland, third; Miss Malena Logan, fourth; Misses Sarah and Ivey Mc- Farland, Rutherfordton, fifth; Miss; Vera Geer, Gilkey, sixth; Miss Eve lyn Hill, Spindale, seventh; Miss Leona Hardin, Piney Ridge, eighth; Miss Hazel Wells, Piney Ridge, ninth; Miss Sarah Whiteside, Uree, j tenth. The clab girls were very fortunate in having Miss Laura Howard, home demonstration agent of Rutherford county, as advisor and corrector in the planning of their rooms. Togeth er with their demonstrator they start ed to visualize their rooms with the necessary elements to make it useful and suitable. They decided on the paint to suit their own individuality for walls and ceilings, and with the aid of father or brother the paint ing was done, considering the ex pense of all. And then they put time and study into the furniture making and making-over, floors and the other accessories. Using the furniture that was liked in the style and that harmonized in the "mod ernistic" style, this was in an ability to select that which was both beauti ful and comfortable from the periods Don't AN IMPORTANT EVENT!P»n Pe'ay OPENS MONDAY, AUGUST 19th IMSM2I —DRASTIC — KaBH A m M H ' Of Pianos and Players 3/k T n l-V|#a Piihlir** Beginning next Monday, August 19, lam going to sell every HP^W^'Vi^ *■ vllC 1 UUllv* Piano and Player Piano at prices and terms never heard of • Mj&S^ before in the history of Forest City.

Then the color was chos en, to be attractive and in harmony with the walls, a definite color scheme based on the owners prefer ence and on the furniture that was already on hand. The remodeled and painting of the antique furniture was the manifestation of the owners ! work and a reflection of the design ers ability. The girls then made some of the most unusual useful articles imaginable. Miss Sarah Summey's room, hav ing as her keynote "comfort", was both that and charming. The walls and ceiling was of a quite natural tone cream color, the doors and fac ings were of a warm brown, giving 1 a restful background. As with the walls of the room she selected the back ground curtains, simple, quite fin color but blending in harmonious ly; the texture and cost considered, j The floor was as the decorative found- I ation of the room, they were darken ed and waxed, making it more dur able, and satisfactory. Three rugs in soft coloring in pretty patterns had been selected, and their refined 'hues repeated on the walls, in cur-, j tains and other fabrics in the room, j Her pictures was her own creative jwork of art, scenes cut from old cal endars and magazines were used, [pasted on different shapes of painted j wood, about a half inch in thickness and shellaced to give a hand painted effect. One unusual pretty oblong the pulse of Nature beat and there it become the focal point of all the colors used in the furnishings. Itj was a beauty of nature in her rest-j ful mood, which seemed to lead you, from the room down along the banks of a stream, where you could hear all j the pulse of Naturt beat and there enjoy a haven of coolness; the pic ture adding to the spirit of repose in her room. Her furniture was attractively ar ranged for her personal require ments, and seemed agreeable in its allotted space and also in harmony with one another. Grouped conven iently was a homely friendly chair, and an old arm-rocking chair, which was exceedingly comfortable and in viting painted an apple-green. The dresser was of same color, occupying a space on the north side in order to get the light for dressing. A large antique mirror hung above the dress- THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1929 er and it must have been a prized possession of the owner. The bed with its lovely slumber pillows, exressed rest and comfort. The most useful as well as the most unusual fixture or invention was a clothes closet; made from an old book-case, this was found very con venient for storing and protecting clothes, hats, shoes, and blankets. Lovely vases of dahlias nodded and beckoned in a happy like atmosphere of and optimism. There was ever provision for pleasant and enjoyable rest. Miss Summey was truly successful in her decorating. The total cost amounting to $7.55. Miss Evelyn Wells room was as equal attractive and showed workmanship. I felt at once, when entering the room, taken into the at mosphere of charm and comfort. The favorite color scheme of blue and cream was used, throughout the chamber. The furniture was quite in character with the charming room, making the whole harmonious and restful. From the large comfortable win dow seat one's attention was immedi ately attracted to the view-visible from the window. Her floors was darkened and waxed, which made them comfortable to walk on and very sanitary. Reversible, washable two-tone rugs were used, introducing a design of flowers in colors. A large ! mirror hung over the antique dress ier, equalizing the attractions in bal jance. A clothes closet was effective ly original. The high old oak bed was remodel ed, sawing off the high head board and turning the foot-board head, ach ieving as a result the effect of a new one yet maintaining and ampli fying the charm of an old; it was dressed attractively and yet simple as she was careful in selecting wash able and durable material, that of Osenburg cotton crash. There was something fairylike about the orange marigolds and cream, deep-red and lavendar cush ions of petunias, they gave life to the room. All in all it was a Very human and livable chamber. The harmony was pleasing because she had observed the laws of occult bal ance in her arrangements of furni ture and wall decoration. Success rewards the efforts far be yond the anticipation of the owner. And each contestant declares they are so charmed with the freshness and comfort of rooms that they scarcely feel that it needs more ador ing. Mrs. Sarah Porter Ellis, district home agent, was the judge of the rooms. In this case it must have been especially hard, for there was so many plans which showed excel lent taste, wisdom and good judg ment. And all the club girls must agree that there's a valuable prize within every room. OAK GROVE NEWS Bostic , R-3., Aug. 13.—The reviv al meeting closed at Oak Grove Fri day night. Rev.
