Hide Heat Vents
With Paint Blend
To Stay Cool

Camouflaging heat carriers is
a good idea. especially during
these hot summer days when the
homemaker doesn't like to be
reminded of any kind of heating
system in her home.
This idea is presented by
Vivian L. Curnutt, extension
home furnishings specialist, Uni
versity of Maryland, when she
says the heat carrier for a cen
trail heating system in any home
can be made to blend into it's
background and be fairly incon-
spicuous.
"a way to make heat carriers
fairly disappear" continues Miss
Curnutt, 'is to paint them the
same color, or a color close to
that of the walls behind the heat
conductors. If the color of the
heating system blends into the
background, it is not obvious,
but a contrasting color is most
obvious and often Objectionable.
