Shades, Droperies Of Bonnbooai in LinneIiQht
BY Dorothy BihImon

Bamboo is in the limelight to-
day as an important decorative
material in any home. for it
blends equally well with either
contemporary or traditional fur
nishings. This strong. yet light
in-weight wood is cut, treated,
sanded and woven in the Orient.
We were informed that in the bet
ter grades, the stats cut from one
pole are carefully matched so that
the nodes correspond to create a
pattern. and are woven with close
even spacing between cords to
give maximum strength. The adj
dition of hardware and tape for
hanging, as well as the cutting
to exact size required in particu-
lar installations, is done in this
country.
You'll find bamboo shades and
draperies especially suitable for
today's large window areas, per-
hitting persons indoors to take
advantage of the view without
themselves being seen. We were
told, on good authority, that the
terms shades and draperieS" in
this instance actually refer to the
direction in which the Stats are
turned rather than to the purpose
served. In shades, the Stats are
turned horizontally and in dra-
peries, vertically. Then, too, there
is a variety Of width in which the
bamboo is split. Half, or one
eighth-inch Stats are used mostly
as porch or window shades, while
the matchstick widths are more
often used as draperies. However,
either width turned vertically can
be effectively used as room divid-
erS such as between living and
dining areas or above counter sep
arating dining areas from kitch-
ems. Also, where skylightS are
used in interior Railways and
bathrooms in single-level houses,
canopy-type installations Of bam-
boo are used, the fabric falling
into series of folds when not III
tering the light from a taut posi-
ton drawn over the entire ceiling
window.
Window and porch shades are
equipped with either automatic
stops or pull cords or with spring
rollers, and installation consists
of merely placing a few screws
in the casing or wall.
Draperies are equipped with q
tape near the top edge to anchor
the hooks fastening into the trav-
erse slides.
You can obtain painted bamboo
screens, but something Of the
natural shading and quality Is
lost. There have been developed
several reed materials with native
colorings in rich cocoa browns,
walnut. white and European pine.
In some of those refinement has
been added by grouping warp
threads of glossy mercerized cord
in pleasingly simple patterns.
Also, a wood reed, in colors has
been developed with beveled-edge
Stats which overlap and so assure
absolute privacy.
ALI of these materials can be
kept clean easily by using a clean
dry brush weekly and merely wip-
ing with a damp cloth when
thorough housekeeping is done
once or twice q year.

thing like q 7.point platform. It
lets forth the American peoples
principal concerns in this elec-
ton year:
l-Renewed assurance that we
really have q two-party system.
2-Honesty and integrity in
government.
Acknowledgment that t h e
resources of even such a country
as ours have limits.
4-That reckless and excessive
spending and taxation can, in the
long run. be a. dangerous to our
way <of life as are external
threats.
Slope of establishing an ad-
ministration in Washington that
can provide a unifying influence,
possibly even inspiration.
GA hope of getting an ad-
ministration characterized thru
out by a sense of justice, fair
play and consideration for all our
citizens rather than sickness in
appealing to special interests and
pressure groups, and
7-Confidence that our affairs
in the outside world will be ham
died intelligently and firmly so as
to regain for US a position of Sc
eurity and respect, and to do
this in such a way as to avoid ex-
travagance.
Many a candidate has won not
merely nomination but election
with q less specific program. The
seven points cover basic issues in
an extremely perceptive and COM
petent way. OF course, General
Eisenhower is not yet free to
translate his points into militant
campaign language but it is not
hard to imagine what could be

done with them on the hustlings.
The two books are filled with
other Eisenhower views - on econ
omy; on RECOMMENDATION; on taxa
ton which verges into socialism;
on the connection between free
enterprise and other freedoms;
on social progress; on moral in
tegrity; on national unity and in
ternational cooperation for peace.
Many Americans will want
these general views spelled out
and defined by application to spe-
cific problems. The Eisenhower
equipment is chiefly doubtful on
the side of experience in practic-
al politics and detailed knowledge
of domestic affairs. But as the
general himself remarks in one
letter: Circumstances change
particular applications they do
not change principles, basic char
acter, values and purposes. On
those unchangeables no one need
now be in doubt about him.
1t may we'll be desirable for the
American people to obtain more
detailed knowledge of Eisenhow-
err policies. But h e S e books,
combined with the generals rec
ord as leader, statesman, and ad-
ministrator, have already provid-
ed a clearer picture than the peo-
pie have had of many presiden-
tial nominees. christian Science

EIsEHnowER's POLICIES

Fresh impetus has been put in
to the 'I-Like-Ike" campaign.
The generals supporters have &C.
quired new and effective ammu-
milton. They have not been able
to persuade him to give up his
job and take to the platform but
they have come up with good an
swers for the question. Where
Does Eisenhower Stand?" They
have his own words clearly stat
ing his position on dozens Of iss-
ues. These are contained in two
bookstore currently serialized.
These should prove as helpful
to the Eisenhower campaign as
Senator Taft's book on foreign
policy has been to his. More i'm
portant to the independent citi-
zen seeking information on which
to base a vote. this material pro-
vides an amazingly definite and
practical guide to Eisenhower
policies. One book, What Els
enhower Thinks" is large y
composed of statements already
made public. but still widely ov-
erlooked. The other, "The Man
From Abilene" includes private
letters written within recent
weeks.

Financial Help Available
To Repair Flood Losses


FINANCIAL HELP to repair all
types of farm or ranch flood damage
is available from several different
sources. Which source will be avail
able depends upon each operators
disaster-caused needs and what re-
sources he has to draw on
The first thing each farmer should
do is to make up list of needs re-
sulting from flood damage, with eSti-
mated costs and resources at his dis
posal Then the regular sources of
credit for the farm business should
be contacted including banks, pri-
vate loan agencies, federal land bank,
production credit administration,
farmers, home administration or
others.
If private credit sources can't of
fer loan they will refer the farmer
to a government agency through
which low-intereSt disaster area"
loans may be obtained. If obtaining
loan, regardless of long terms and
low interest rates, would work a
serious hardship in particular cases,

the Red Cross can enter the picture
with outright grants Of aid with no

Private Lending Agencies
Private banks and commercial loan
agencies have no provisions for emer-
gency loan situations and each case
must be handled on the usual basis of
financial background, security and
repayment ability. Such loans would
be on the current interest rate basis
It is expected that bankers in the
area will do everything possible to
help their regular customers.
FILA Loans
If your banker can't help you OF
loans available are limited and cover
only a part OF your fIood-damage

to the farmers home administration.

value of the property. When trees
and shrubs are planted they become
part and parcel of the land and can
not be valued separate from the land
for income tax purposes. Therefore,
the fair market value of the entire
property Immediately before the
casualty and its value Immediately
after the casualty must be compared
with the shrinkage in value is the
apparent loss" Since the apparent
loss ODefore considering the insur-
ance recovery cannot exceed the
adjusted basis, the lesser of the two
amounts is the loss sustained. The
loss sustained is then reduced by
any insurance recovered.

Losses pertaining to personal be-
longings such as family portraits,
heirlooms, jewelry, etc. to be allowed
must be based upon loss of intrinsic
value. regardless Of any sentimental
attachment to the property
Finally, no one who has suffered
casualty loss should have any
trouble in sustaining deduction in
his tax return for such loss if it has
been properly prepared; and in
gathering the evidence and assem-
bling the data he should bear in mind
that the material should be complete
and accurate. since the burden Of
proving the loss is entirely on him
