venetion Blinds Con Creote Picture Window Illusion
By Betty Lenohon

Venetian blinds. always q dec
Grating asset to any window, are
now taking over the trick" of
creating picture windows.
When two or three windows
are huddled together, use one
wide sweep of blinds across the
entire area. Choose them in
one of the smart new colors and.
to keep the feeling Of width at
the window. choose matching
tapes.
The second step toward en-
hancing this picture window set
ting is the curtains or drapes.
Let them extend not over the
window itself, but from the edges
of the blind and out over the
wall.
II treating two windows. allow
at least lila feet of fabric hang
ings at each side of the blinds:
to maintain proper balance Of
fabric for a triple window setting,
allow a minimum of 3 feet of
curtain or drapery.
Use Cornice Board.
Thirdly, to unity this wall-of-
windows effect, use a cornice
board to hide all the hardware.
One can easily be constructed
out of plywood If a straight
and tailored cornice is In order.
Simply stretch matching fabric
over the board which should be
a minimum of 6 inches deep If
treating two windows; for three
windows. the cornice should be
at least 7l2 inches deep.
If the window requires a highly
stylized cornice, money can be
saved by making the pattern
oneself. Use a length of butchers.
wrapping paper. Fold it in half.
Starting from the center fold,
sketch the scallop. French Pro-
vincial. or novelty motif wanted.
Once this pattern is cut, take
it to a local woodworking shop
to be cut in plywood.
Single windows can also be
dramatized by using venetian
blinds in an outside installa-
ton" This means installing the
blind on the outside of the win
dow's frame to add width. Then
let the blind drop beyond the
windows sill to the floor for
height.
Again, use curtains or drap-
cries to the sides of this estab-
lished expanse. And add this
budget note; that because the
fabric hangs over q wall, it
need not be lined against sun
fading.

Council Acting On
Cruiser Problem

Herb Allerton presided as pres
ident protein of the West Jeffer-
son council at their last regular
meeting, as the mayor was absent
on vacation. Mr.. Allerton is also
acting mayor.
Main topic of the meeting was
the purchase of the new cruiser.
A bid of $3.50 had been received
from the Satterfield Motor Sales
of Mt. Sterling, which was the
price of new machine, and the
most reasonable bid submitted to
date.
Members in accord with the pur-
chase of the new car were Aller-
ton, Merrill Mellott, Wendell
Steinmetz and Gerald Poulson.
Member opposed was Larry Kaho.
George Baber was absent.
BY this meeting, the cruiser had
broken down entirely, and would
not run around the block. Officer
Steve Nelson was using his own
car Tor patrol Ralph Long, OF the
Central Garage, a spectator, offer
ed TO put the car on the road for
the price of the repair of the
clutch The offer was accepted.
With Kaho opposed emergency
legislation could not be passed, so
apparently council has agreed to
schedule special meetings for the
required three readings of the
resolution to accept the proposed
bid. The first reading was held at
the last regular council meeting,
and the second reading was held
Friday, November 25 with the vot-
ing results the same. One more
reading is required for passage.
