Better Use Dramatic Furniture sporinqly

Dramatic accessories, used:
sparingly and with imagination,
can add the decorator touch to
any room setting.
This calls for careful selectiv-
ity and restraint, overriding q
good thing in home decorating
only produces q look Of busy
ness and restlessi1ess.
Sharp accent colors are par
ticularly effective decorating
stimulants when used In modera-
ton. Clean and simple lines
should be the rule. and certain
key shades should be selected as
a guiding theme.
For example. black and white
are q combination that Is dra-
matte enough to stand on its
own, with Just small accent
touches to provide additional in
terest. Two triangular tables
placed side by side to form q
sharply defined coffee table pro-
duce a focal point. and set the
stage for other black and white
counter parts. A second set Of
wedge tables. split and set up as
end tables. can repeat the color
and silhouette themes. Chairs
with simple lines, stark white up
ilolstery sharply traced with
black tubing. once more interpret
the guiding motif.
Against this dramatic setting
OF black and white. other colors
and accessories should be used
with discrimination. Just one
really unusual addition, such as
a free-hanging electric clock.
provides all the emphasis re-
quired. Such a conversation
piece clock compliments the
simple lines Of the overall set
ting, without detracting from
the color scheme. For back
grounds, one hue such as tur-
quoise, in a very bright tone. on
the walls adds quiet unifying
note. A lamp in a darker shade
of turquoise and the carpet, a
still darker one. help. Decorative
plates may serve to pick up the
three theme colors, whites black
and turquoise, In reduced but
intensified form. The slightest
hint Of a shock color, such as
fiery vermilion, can be intro
duced through @ detail on q
table accessory.
It is good to know that such
decorating arrangements can be
planned to At In realistically

Furniture and accessories which
are every bit as practical as they
are eye-catching are available.

earth usefulness as added at

Appearing with MIN is his small son. r. L.
Thomas, a great performer in his own right
particularly on the dAGms, who usually steals
the show. r. L. started in show business at the
ripe old age of three and hasn't stopped since.
One of the highlights of the evening will
be when this fabulous little drummer goes into
a wild and fantastic drum solo for few
measures that would make old time drummers
turn green with envy.
The whole family gets in the act. Mrs. lola
Thomas, wife of Ralph, mother of r. L., the
daughter of well-known mid-western band
leader and former dancing teacher, breaks
out on the vibraharp in the last act in
fashion not to be forgotten
The entire and one-half hour perfor-
nance is in the lighter vein For the most part
popular and comedy numbers are rendered
with a western tune or two thrown in for
variety
The climax of the evening will be an old
fashioned hoe-down by the whole family
The presentation is being presented by the
Belle Valley post to raise funds for the new
American Legion home IN Belle Valley.
The price of admission is only 75c including
tax. Tickets are available from any legion or

A most unique and unusual group of enter
tainers will perform in person at the Caldwell
High school auditorium, Saturday, May IA
when the famous RALPH THOMAS SHOW
appears for a performance sponsored by the
Belle Valley American Legion post, No. GAL
There will be comedy, singing, music fun
and more music.
Thomas performs several instruments
at the same time with both hands, both feet
and big smile.
His principal instruments however, are the
electric accordian, Vibraharp, and drums. The
vibraharp is somewhat similar to a marimba
or Xylophone in appearance, but with tone
very like an organ and is played with ham
merS.
Ralph Thomas is credited with being the
only person in the country who can effectively
manipulate the hammers on the vibraharp or
"Vibes" as it is commonly called, with only
one hand. Nobody including Ralph, quite
knows how he does it.
He was formerly with Roy Rogers, the ia
nous western movie star The Sons of The
Pioneers, well known musical group heard
daily on radio, and was one of the organizers
of the Spade Cooley band and show, current
popular television stars
In addition to the instruments mentioned
above, Thomas also plays trick trumpet,
thing called flexatone, which looks like a
babys rattle and sounds like a musical saw
an electric fiddle, and few other padpets

The government is preparing to
condemn land along the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal that
will be needed in the proposed
widening and deepening of the
waterway. Last week property
owners between Summit and Del
aware City, with the majority
from around st. Georges, how
ever, were called to the Federal
Building in Wilmington. They
were asked if they were willing
for the condemnation proceedings
to be stated. The unanimous
sentiment of the property owners
seemed to be that the canal i'm
provements were necessary and
that they were willing for the
government to take whatever
properties were necessary with
adequate compensation paid.
