Television Changing Appearance of Rooms Here is an interesting television room arrangement in which a French Provincial receiving set blends effectively with Early American furniture. This room thus has two interesting focal points: The television set and the fireplace. Room arrangement is ideal for either childten or adult*. (Furniture: Consider H. Willett. Inc.; television. Mnanavox.) Color Magic Used In Modern Trend - Present fashion trends show a strong preference for lighter wall colors in tones of beige, brown and greens of the sage family.' These earthy tones, highlighted with bright rust and yellow, sharp orange and copper red make up the currently popular palette These are soft, easy-to-live-with background colors and have an unusual kinship for lovely pol i.shed wood, providing an ex (i emcly effective background for both dark and light furniture Try matching or slightly deeper value of your wall color for your floor covering if you are proud I of your furniture and would like it to be (lie most important part ! of your room scheme.

Several Problems -*_ The American home has seen ; many changes in style m the past I 25 years. But no single item, no I switch in color preferences, no new designs have had such a < singularly revolutionary effect as | the television set. 1 This new medium of entertain-1 niriit poses two major problems! for the homemaker. The first has two sides—what • style receiving set to choose and ; where to put it. The second problem is that of preparing the house for the in evitable flow of visitors. This re quires close attention to the de tails of adequate seating space within range of the TV screen i and table space within arm’s reach for refreshments. Special displays planned . for | Home Fashion Time give you end-! less ideas for making the entire home more attractive for your televisitors. Here, in addition, is a guide to help you with the im mediate problems of the set and j its surroundings: What style set shall you choose? I.ook around the room in which you wish to keep the set. Are the furnishings you now have (or those new units you plan to buy) Traditional or Contemporary? Or perhaps the room is a mixture of both. If ^'our taste and furnishings follow the Contemporary line, the set will be chosen to carry out that theme. A wood of contrast ing color will make the set stand out from other units in the room, giving it added Importance. A wood of matching color will make it blend into the room setting. If the furnishings of the room are Traditional, you can either choose one ol the many period cabinets to match nr mix periods by choosing an appropriate Mod ern cabinet In blending periods of furni ture, avoid the extremes that cents in sofa cushions or uphols tcry will play up your favorite pieces and add excitement to the! room. I make for startling contrast. If the traditional pieeas are light in lino, chouse a contemporary de sign also light in tecling. Where to place the TV set? First consider the angle of viewing. The set must be in a spot around which seating units ean.be arranged for comfort with- J out the craning of necks or squint- i ing past other h ads Since the set will probably be 1 the center of interest in the room, don't hesitate to treat it with as much importance as a fireplace. In fact, many ingenious TV sot-1 tings have been engineered by placing the set in an old fireplace well and surrounding it with bookshelves, framed prints, etc. The major problem in adapting the home to a TV set is wisely planning the seating units for comfort. Sectional sofas and swivel chairs or chairs on casters adapt therr,JV»iV" ‘ especially well to the television room. They can be re arranged from time to time to add endless variety to the seat ing plan. I The arrival of television has j brought a quick rise in the popu larity of the ottoman and has sock Both of these serve double duty as footrests and additional seats when the crowd unexpected ly expands. Ingenious designers have de veloped a variety of stacking chairs and stools which pile one on top the other in a minamum of closet space to be brought out when needed. Many coffee tables, too, have the dual purpose features and may be converted to seats by tin addition of loose cushions kept on the closet shelf On some of these tables the tops have been so de signed with handles to serve as travs when lifted off, exposing a bench underneath. Nest of tables are another wise addition to the television room. While the outei unit remains in place as an end table, the two nested units can be placed stra tegically around the room as re freshment stands. Person County now has 21 Grade A dairies. Ten years ago it had only one. WORTH CAROLINA Hints On Care Of Furniture Wood furniture deserves the best <>I core, for with proper at tention the finish will grow even more beautiful with age as it de velops a mellow richness with depth of color Varnished or lacquered fu"ni ture should be dusted frequent!. with a soft lint free dust cloth. It is essential that the dust cloth be soft since all dust contains a certain amount of abrasive grit which will scratch the finish. In addition to dusting the finish, it is necessary periodically to use a furniture polish in order to retain the proper lustei and to remove greasy deposits The greasy de posits consist of finger prints, I coal dust., and where the heating | medium is oil, a very appreciable oily deposit J When a more strenbus clean,n» • is needed, the finish may be wash ed with a mild soap. Use mucia lather then rinse with a fair!; i dry cloth dipped in lukewarm \vater and dry with a soft cloth. The finish may then be polished with an emulsion type polish j or a liquid wax.
