There are many little symp t toms that show up every day that j you live in an inadequately wired | home. ^ ou have probably known ^ of them all along but you may i have thought something else other I than poor wiring to be responsible j for them. ( Here are some symptoms of in I adequate wiring: 1. Lights flickering and dim I ming when appliances are turned i on. 2. Appliances operating slowly 1 or not as well as they should. Heat I appliances, such ns toasters, irons, I room heaters, warming up too ■ slowly. j 3. Fuses blowing or circuit l breakers tripping too frequently. | 4. Radios fading or sounding l scratchy when an appliance is ! turned on. 5- TV picture that shrinks in ; size or “winks” when other appli | ances go into action. C>. Too few outlets and switches where you need them. 7. Multiple “octopus” connec tions used for several appliances at once. 8. Long cords strung around the rooms in order to connect lamps | or appliances. j jre'ew’f'c'c'eaetctctctcic'c'ctc'cic'ctctc'cv :«tc«cicictcic((c<cic>c<ctc>c;<c*c<e<c<c*c«>r«<c|cwwc<€>c<cicic<c<ci(<caci May Hit bteiltflf bo with you tKtS Cbriitmat. 195$ EARLY’S Drive-in Cleaners Too frequent overheating of motors. MORE LIGHT FROM YOUR LAMPS Light was the first gift of elec tricity to modern living. It is still one of the most important bene fits you can enjoy. Are you mak ing the most of light to protect the eyes of your family, to beautify your home ? The chances are that some of your portable lamps are among the oldest appliances you own. Of course, many improvements have been made in lamp design and ef ficiency since you bought them, fortunately, you don’t have to re place serviceable old lamps with new ones to bring home lighting up to date. Nowadays you can modernize most lamps simply by changing the bulb and one or two fittings. You can buy bulbs with built in reflectors, bulbs with a new kind of inside frosting that soft ens and diffuses light without loss of efficiency. You can buy three way bulbs that give you a choice of three “levels” of lighting at the twist of a switch. Older style lamps are readily adapted to the new bulbs. Metal “harps” are made to fit the new shapes. A lamp can be converted in a matter of minutes—and you’ll be amazed at the difference in lighting quality. WHAT EVERY KITCHEN NEEDS We are all influenced by the way places “feel” to us. Some places give us a feeling of free dom and brightness, others make us feel warm and cozy. Still oth ers rnay give us a feeling of dull ness and darkness. Most kitchens can be made into comfortable “living rooms,” or de signed to have the atmosphere you want. These are things you can work with: Light: Most of us like daylight and sunshine, but too much can mean glare and heat. Besides, a lot of work and play go on in the kitchen after dark. You need good over-all light, and you might need extra light for certain tasks—at work surfaces for instance. Make sure that light isn’t placed so that you’re working in your own shad ow. Air: Circulating air is import ant, not only for comfort but also to help remove odors, grease and smoke. Keeping a window open, at least on top, may be enough. If not, you may need an exhaust fan. By the way, if the kitchen is often smoky, you may be cook ing at too high temperatures. Color: Cheerful colors that please you and make you feel com fortable are the best ones. Now adays, kitchens don’t have to be plain white. With modern decor ating schemes, the kitchen can be one of the most attractive rooms in the home. Light colors will brighten, while darker ones will subdue, glare. Washability is an important factor in the decorating materials you use. Cleanliness: While you don’t have to be able to “eat off the floor,” your working areas, range, refrigerator, drawers and shelves should be clean — for convenience and efficiency, and for the kind of atmosphere you want around food. — FUN IN THE KITCHEN Many wonderful parties start in the kitchen—and stay there. Sometimes you don’t call them par ties exactly—like the housewife’s second cup of coffee after the chil dren and husband have left, or the children’s after-school snack, or the teenagers’ late evening ice box raid. The kind of hospitality we all remember is the kind that makes us feel at home. This is as true for children as for adults. Letting the children play host as often as possible to their own guests teaches them the social graces. Let them entertain in the kitchen, serving the kind of snacks they like—even if it’s as simple as milk and cookies after school. Help them plan if they need help, but don’t take over. Here are short-cuts that you and the family can use—when folks drop in or when you have less time than usual to prepare for guests: Keep a stock of frozen and canned prepared foods, so that a meal can be prepared easily and quickly if necessary. Plan one-dish meals that go from oven to table in the same casserole. With a salad, and fresh : fruit and cheese, this can be com | pany fare. | Serve some meals and beverages j in disposable plates and cups. These can be a boon for children s parties, not just because they re convenient and sanitary, but also because they help avoid dish Relax. Remember, the guests didn’t come to watch you work. They came to share and enjoy your company. Thinking ahead — working to gether—using what you have to get what you want — making healthful meals safely, easily and with less work and more fun, all add up to creative management in the kitchen, which adds to youi assurance of a fuller life. • SELL ITI — CLASSIFIEDSI • Ihe ueerlong By Artus Moser. I think the Deer Sons is ap propriate for a pood many of tin* men and boys in the coves here abouts who love to pet up early these cool morninps and pet out in the mountains for a few shots at the squirrels. I've been gettinp out icoasionally myself; but the pane seems to be somewhat scarce this fall. However, I meet a fel low ever now and then who can tell you how many he has already killed, and the great number of pheasants and other game he saw. He is the kind of fellow who would enjoy singing the Deer Song, a very old ballad which has been sung here irr the mountains ev. r since the Scotch and English f" st settled here and forgot where they came from. It tells a tall Story and really should be heard sung by a real mountain singer to be fully appreciated. It is usu al’:,' sung to the accompaniment ot a banjo, but I think you get a fairly good idea of the tempo, the fun, and the exaggeration of the P!"Ce by merely reading it. I got this song from one of the n ive singers here in the valley— up here in the Buckeye Cove, to be exact,—and it goes like this: “I'n a bright and summer’s morn ing, The ground all covered with snow, I put my sholulder to my pun, And a-hunting I did— And a hunting I did go. I went up on the mountain, S May your Chriitmos be one * 2 ol ,oy and lolling peace J 5 * * « * Iilack Mountain 5 y a y n y Hardware Co. * y * s 2 *i»a« *»*»*!»>« ^tmyonr^yorwugt^nnTT And fifteen or twenty— Ten thousand I did— Ton thousand I did kill. And the money that I got for the venison shin, 1 hauled it to my father’s barn And it wouldn’t have go— And it wouldn’t half go in. 1 went up on the mountain, Beyond yon hill so high. The moon came around with light ning speed, I’ll take a ride, says I. iPt.'XiS’KWZ’tt.-e.tzX’ZX’Z’ZWZW*’*'*'* w Tho moon came around the moun tain, It took a suddent whirl, And my foot slipped nnd I fell out, And I landed in this— And I landed in this world. Some boys and girls were skating, On a bright and summer’s day, The ice broke through, they all fell in— The rest they ran away. The man that made this song, sir. His name was Abner Young— If you can tell a bigger lie, T say you ought to be— I say you ought to be hung.” This clipping will entitle Hugh Brandon and one guest to free ad mission to see “Santiago” at the Pix Theater. ■—We have too many wide open places, surrounded by teeth, it seems. Six-feet-two is the height of many a gal’s ambition. :*►*•-* A JOYOUS HOLIDAY BRINGS NIW FAITH TO A WAITING WORLD... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. HIGHWAY 70 WEST BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.
