Lifestyles 'Fifth ' wall of room needs equal attention By Alice L. Pcttitt Hone Economics Extension Agent % Floors are the "fifth wall" of a room, connecting all the design elements. Wall-to-wall carpeting tends to expand the space of a room and an unbroken sweep of color, especially a light color, "fools the eye into seeing more floor area than really exists." In a very small room, size can be enhanced by painting the walls the same color as the carpet with sofas and beds covered in fabrics the same hue. Larger rooms can be made to seem more intimate through the use of carpeting in a rich, deep color with a sculptured textured. Upholstered furniture in a larger room can be covered in contrasting colors or patterns. Carpeting color also can affect the lightness or darkness of a room. If a room lacks natural light, carpeting in bright yellows, oranges and red can brighted it. Carpeting in blues and greens can tone down a room that seems too bright, or one with a western ex posure. Lively colors are good for family rooms or kitchen while Hillcrest 4-H'ers tell summer times Memories of summer 4-H events remained vivid in 4-H'ers minds as they shared their experiences with other members and guests at the Hillcrest 4-H Club's July meeting. Leslie Ashburn and Priscilla Carson told about some of iheir experiences at 4-H Camp. Leslie and Priscilla seemed to be enthusiastic over their first try at sailing, while another 4-H'er thought the Seafood Workshop in which a squid was dissected, cook ed and eaten was a memorable event. Leah Hendrix, who spent a week in Raleigh at North Carolina 4-H Congress on the campus of N.C. State University, told about the workshops, demonstrations, and tours she enjoyed. A tour of the Solar House in Raleigh was very informative and advanced her work in the Con sumer Education Project. She learned that peanuts can be used in many different recipes as she watched district winners in Peanut Cookery compete for State Win ner. Miniature terrariums were made by 4-H members and guests. Mak ing a terrarium is part of the Home Horticulture Project, one of the many projects available to in terested young people in this coun ty. Sandy Lupo assisted the younger 4-Hers with this. Doggie, Doggie, Who's got the bone, Hangman and Television were a few of the games enjoyed by the 4-Hers during the time of recreation. Christy Robinette is in charge of planning our fun times during the meetings. Guests at this meeting were Jen nifer Potter, Tricia and Dallas McKnight, and Jennifer and Don na Hogge.

Front Burner more formal rooms are set off by pastels or traditional old-world tones. On the pratical side, light colored carpets show the dirt more but dark colors show more light. Tweeds and pebbled textures hide soil, and so do strips and patterns. Carpet fibers are another con sideration. Wool is the oldest carpet fiber but it's not as durable as nylon. Polyester feels soft but it also isn't as long-wearing as nylon. Polypropylene resists moisture and is easy to clean, except for oil based stains. It's used mostly for indoor-outdoor carpeting. Acrylic feels like wool but is only fair in its resistance to soils and stains. Nylon provides the best in perfor mance, color and style selection at a reasonable price.
