begin in the near future to restore
the precious sand that has been
washed away in spots along the

yards of sand. When the project
is completed tourists will have q

Home Furnishings Becoming international
By Glodys Miller

Air freight now makes 1t pos

countries quickly and easily.
If you take the time to think and
observe you'll be intrigued, I'm
sure. to learn how international
the furnishings of the modern
home have become.
synonymous with modern" is
the furniture from Sweden. So
much so that often any furniture
with clean.cut lines is apt to be
called Swedish.
On the West Coast, many fasci-
mating rattan, bamboo and teak
pieces are coming in from Mexico,
the Philippines, Japan and the
islands of the Pacific.
Many of these groups are de-
signed by our own furniture de-
signers and made to specifications
in the different countries. Others
are designed and made in the
modern idiom in the country it
self. Regardless, these contributors
add much to the richness of form,
design and combination of mate
rials as well as comfort to our
homes.
This year the state of Yucatan
in Southeastern Mexico has sent
it's contribution. The form, con-
struction and finish of this furni-
ture fits perfectly when placed in
the contemporary, casual but or
derly or disciplined home. The
wood used is Yucatan mahogany,
and for a few extra special pieces,
is machiche, a beautiful figured,
rare wood, which is harder than
mahogany. Each has a natural
hand-rubbed finish.
The drawers of the chests have
beveled edges to assure easy mo-
ton. These chests may be bought
with or without detachable legs

Mr.. Gathings disclosed yester-
day that he has been making the
rounds in Washington and, at his

literature as part of his two
year campaign to get a House

Mr.. Gathings' role as a quiet
investigator on his own came out
as he discussed with reporters the
reasons why he thinks a study of
offensive publications as we'll as
an inquiry into undesirable radio
and TV programs should be under
taken. He also is the author of
a resolution, already approved by
the House, calling for an investi-
cation of radio and TV programs
by the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
With his desk piled with an ar
ray of books and magazines, Mr..

OF them are available to children
in drug stores and other public
places. AS father of two chill
