you suggest for the walls. rug.
draw draperies and two chairs?
Answer-Since the living room
in your new home will be bright,
rose would be a good color to
paint the walls. To further carry
out the color scheme you want,
you might get a gray rug, drap-
cries in gray with a silver thread
running through, a blue sofa, one
chair in light rose and the other
in charcoal.
Question: am planning a
room for my 4-year-old son and
would like some advice. The fur
niture is maple, the woodwork is
natural and the draperies are
made of a heavy cotton fabric
with a pattern in white and red
on a medium blue background.
What colorS would you choose
for the walls, rugs and bed
spread?
Answer-You can take the
color scheme of your boys room
from the draperies-paint the
walls white, get the rugs in a
bright red and the bedspread in
royal blue.
Question: would like an idea
for draperies for our living room.
The walls are a very light brown,
almost tan, the rug is rose and
the furniture is maple uphol-
stored in brown and tan print.
Answer-You need an accent

color in your living room which
you could provide by getting the
draperies in a fairly bright shade
of green.
Question: have two lamps
that I would like to use on the
end tables in my living room.
The hand-painted design on both
is the same, but the shades are
different. One is round and the
other is a globe. Do you think it
would be all right to use them?
Answer-If you intend to use
the lamps as a pair, on either
side Of the sofa, for example, I
think that the shades should
match. However. if you intend
to use them on end tables in diff
ferent parts of the room, they
need not match.
Question: am thinking of
getting a modern sectional sofa

ISmoII Kitchens Needn't Be Like a Prison Cell
By Betty Lenohon

Spring brides who must begin
their homemaking careers in
small quarters do not have to
file away their dream kitchen"
ideas for the future. Cramped
for space or just plain out-dated,
those tiny apartment kitchens
often have a well-hidden poten-
tial for a complete change Of
face.
Here Is a case in point-a
small apartment kitchen which
started out with all the typical
faults of its kind. It was dark,
with one lone window opening
onto a court, small in size. only
8 by 9 feet. antiquated in ap-
planes with exposed pipes, and
poorly arranged, with not a shelf
of storage or working space.
Careful jig-Saw puzzle planning
and a creative use of color and
new kitchen materials made it
as efficient as laboratory and
one of the prettiest rooms in the
house.
The small space, which now
seems twice its size, houses a
miniature dining area with table,
bench and chairs, and a stream
lined corner arrangement Of
cabinets and appliances. There
is ample storage for dishes and
cooking utensils, as well as a
cleaning closet. A generous sink
occupies what once was wasted
corner space. while a small re-
frigerator fits inconspicuously
under the counter to increase
the working surface.
Porcelain pretty, the color
scheme of white and pink, I'M
derlined with black, is surpris-
ingly as practical as it is mag
NATIVE and bright. Since color
contrast to the white cabinets
and appliances would have been
confusing in small room, white
became the decorative theme.
Plastic in satiny white was
chosen for the counter tops and
built-in table shelf. The up
holstery is pure white plastic;
the floor, solid white and black
tiles, laid in diamond checker
board. Because they are all
plastics. these white surfaces
resist soiling. clean easily with
damp cloth or sponge mop,
and seldom scratch or stain.
Walls, window and accessories
were all planned to point UP and
soften the simple white scheme.
A pink and white harlequin
wallpaper in the dining area
echoes the floor design and in,
turn. continues with pink paint
on the other three walls. Pink
linen cafe curtains at the window
are bordered in pink shutters.
They are actually solid wood
planks for easier cleaning, that
have been hand-painted with
simulated lowers and almost
real looking butterflies and
ladybugs. A bank of green
plants behind the dining bench
underscores the fresh look.
Question-We are building a
new home and would like to have
the color scheme of the living
room rose, blue and gray but we
do not know how to distribute
the colors, could you help us?
The room is large and will have
plenty of light as there are two
10-foot windows in it. We are
planning to buy 18th Century
furniture. What colors would

and would like to know if I can
use a wool braided rug, which I
am making, with this type of
furniture. I am also puzzled
about draperies. The walls are
paneled in a wormy chestnut.
Would a solid beige color be all
right for the draperies or, taking
into consideration the braided
rug, would you advise something
else?
Answer Since braided rugs
are quite simple. the one you are
making would notIbe out of place
in your living room with the sec
tional pieces. A brightly colored
pattern on beige background
for the draperies would bring out
the mellow finish of the chestnut
wall paneling, and also be har-
monious with the braided rug.

Corn AllOtments
Larger This Year

Corn growers in Allen county will
be allotted an additional 5,7S8 acres
of corn acreage during the 1856
growing season, it was learned here
this week with the announcement by
the Allen County Agricultural Sta
biliZation and Conservation Commit
tee that the county has been allotted
46,223 acres.
This increase, according to Will
bur V. Bunke, chairman of the AL
len county ASCC, from the 40,435
acres of corn allotted during 1854
is due to an increase in the national
allotment set by Secretary of Agri-
culture, Ezra Taft Benson.
With the apportionment to county
corn growers now in process, Bunke
pointed out that allotments would be
made within the next week and that
farmers who were dissatisfied with
the allotment they receive have until
Is days after the notice to file an
appeal with the county committee.
Farm allotments are based on the
acreage planted to corn in 1851,
1852 and 1853 as adjusted for abb
normal weather and changes in the
type of farm operation. Other farm
practices and topography are also a
basis for the allotment.
Bunke explained that farmers who
stay within their allotments are eli
gible for price support on all corn
produced in 1866, provided the corn
meets grade and moisture require
ments, and provided the corn is
stored in a bin or crib or in COM
mercial storage approved by the
county ASC committee.
