V rrr.Qtrr:Ai3 rsszLY. : hebjtord, n. cl, today, marot 10, mm.' PAGE SEVEN j( l Liwi ; Two commonly , misundestood or misinterpreted ideas moist, housewives have concerning Interior decorating has to do with waH-paper selection and the use of predominant ' color in decoration. These ideas were recently advanced by Miss Jean McLain, who has spent many years helping house wives with interior decorating; prob lems. ,- , Y-T J; lAccordiwr to Miss McLain, "Most V ' housewives . Just don't know how ; to N corrfbine wallpapers that are to be ,-used in the same living areas of the i bouse,", she said. . "Now;, if j choose a floral pattern for the diningr-rocai, i I am' through with florals for the rest of the downstairs living area. I would ' choose,..' .perhaps, an v. architectural I block pattern in the. entrance hall, a conventional rosette m the living j room. Many women make the mistake . of using different floors throughout the first floor of the house," Miss - McLain advises the use of florals or scenic patterns in the dining ; room, because, she says, most dining -room furniture is the same wherever you ee it a table, six chairs, a buf fet and a china cabinet. "These pieces s are all quite stereotyped and are not yectmitive in themselves," she said, r5. iney need a handsome floral or IBcenic pattern to bring out the chara cter ofthe furniture itself. iFarfrion news in interior decoration is in the color trends, mass Jucuun claims. ' The main trend is toward simpler color schemes, she added. '- Women talk about predominating colors they know that term," she said, "but they fail to let that color f really predominance is the key to really in pderominance is the key to a restful room." The decorator said-that a woman will 'choose a "predominating color" - and then splash it around the room. The proper way to handle a predomi nating color, Miss McLain said, is to . let the color really stand out by' using it on the largest decorating area. Her own formula is a three-color combination.' .The basic color the predominating color she would use ' on walls and woodwork, with walls and woodwork matching. The floor covering would blend with that basic color, although it may be the exact match ofthe color on the wall or sim ply a deeper tone of the same color. Her secondary color would be used for contrast and she would select this for the draperies and furniture covers; " The third color would be used for ac cents, selected in the room's accessor ies jsuch as lamp shades and bric-a brae - . . . Colors today are stronger. The pale the gentle, or the sluggish color no Monger is popular. Clean sparkling light I , tones and rich deep tones are available in all colors, Miss McLain said. "Deep green is still the biggest 'seller in color," she said. xnz:A Fcr fccor At Clinic fliz&llr City - The Northeastern Carolina Cancer Detection Center held Its weekly clinic in the Health Center at Elizabeth City Friday, March 3rd, under the direction of Dr. Jos. A. Gill. He was assisted by Dr. "John H. Boner, Dr. W, A. Hog- gard, Jr., and Dr. J. L. Shipley. Those examined came from the counties of Hertford, Washington, Camden, Per quimans, Gates sand Pasquotank, bringing to total 420 examined since the Northeastern Carolina Cancer De tection Center opened October 21, 1949. . ' Examinations are free to all women 35 or over, all men 40 or over, and to anyone with a symptom or a "danger signal", regardless of age.' The Clinics are .held every Friday afternoon in the Health Center, Eliza beth City. Registration is from 1:00 to 2:30 P. M. Frequently there are more appli cants for examination than can be ac commodated. Therefore, in order that those who live at a distance may be sure of an examination and thus not make a trip in vain, priorities will be sent, on request, to ail who live twenty miles-or more from Elizabeth City. Address requests to Cancer Center Clerk, Health Center, Elizalbeth City, and indicate two dates on which you could come for examination. Health and Beauty! By Dr. Sophia Branson j What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child that must the community want for all its children, "i 1 y John Dewey.. . Prosperity, is a great teacher; ad versity is a greater, Possession pam pers the mind; privation trains and . strengthens lt.' v J;.' . - Hazlett Euthanasio or So-Called Mercy Killings. The Greeks were highly civilized but they were pagans. They did not teach the value of human life as did the He brews. - When Moses came down from the smoking mountain, he bore tawtalbles of stone which contained God's im mortal moral law." These laws were written for all peoples and all times. They cannot be improved upon and if disobeyed and disregarded, chaos will follow. One of those laws say3, "Thou shalt not kill." Men of the enlightened medical pro fession are trained to. hold 'life sacred, to alleviate Buffering, and to dedi cate their Uvea to the highest and best .good of humanity. tJod h'as not put it into the power of .men to know just how long a per- 'son will live. The Greeks did not permat the de formed to live.. We have had great geniuses who were badly deformed and yet they had great intellects and made discoveries that have been of inestimable benefit to humanity. At the present time, organizations are banding together in order to in fluence legislators to make laws per mitting certain people to be put to death included in this class are imbe ciles and incurable sufferers. If such laws were passed there are doubtless many poor creatures who would be hurried out of life at the will of some conscienceless individuals who would thereby inherit money or be relieved of their care. Then again those who seem to be dying from- incurable can cers would be legally put to death on the pretext, that they would be saved from suffering. , , . , J It was about 1930 when the "first Euthanasia Society was organized in England. A bill was read in Parlia ment which got no further than one reading. - The newspapers spoke of it as a bill to legalize murder. , ,v, Not daunted by its reception in England, a Euthanasia Society . was organized in the. United States. These two societies are small and are the only ones in existence of rwhich we have any knowledge. ISo far no legis lators have passed laws legalizing the BC-called "mercy killings." As much as we possibly can, iwe Should alleviate or eliminate human suffering, but God has not given to life of human being should be brought to an end except in the legal execu tion for crime.
