APARTMENT WORK SHOP
Probably the major obstacle
to more extensive do-it-yourself
activity among apartment dwell
efs is the lack of adequate work
bench and power tool facilities.
Mr.. K. T. X. has suggested that
he would like to have somewhere
in his ideal apartment set-up a
work room well equipped with
benches, tools and simple power
equipment.
He states: "Such a work room
probably could be managed the
same way that party rooms are
in some of the larger apartment
developments. Tenants who want
to use the, room could reserve a
bench for particular period and
pay a reasonable fee for this
extra service"
He suggests that one result
would be that he and many other
apartment jewellers would have
more of the build-yourself apart
Iment conveniences than they
have now.
PARTY MOBILES "A trend
which seems to be growing among
some of the younger apartment
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-10

jewellers is the use Of mobiles
for party decorations.
These are gay. easy-to-make
decorations which hang from
ceilings and get their names
because they have parts which
move with any movement Of
air in the room.
Start with a black wire coat
hanger. Cut the lower wire in
the middle and straighten it so
that the wire will be nearly
horizontal when it hangs free.
Then wrap pieces of No. is
flower wire with black crepe
paper and hang them from the
coat hanger by spool wire. Again
using spool wire, you can hang
colorful paper cut-outs from the
ends of the flower wire pieces.
The cut-outs can follow any
motif you want from turkeys
for Thanksgiving to miniature
Santa Clauses for Christmas. The
only trick is to hang the pieces
SO that they balance when they
hang free.
If you keep the mobiles light,
they can be attached to the
ceiling with plastic adhesive
tapes, and add a differen touch
to your holiday parties.

minimum of time and effort by
buying some similar carpet in
the same or contrasting color
and gluing border around the
edges.
Cutting and gluing carpet can
be undertaken, on any scale up
to designing an entire custom
carpet for a room. This techni-
que is perhaps most practically
used to enlarge a carpet, to
change its shape to fit a room.
or to make small area rugs Of
striking design.
The only materials needed, in
addition to carpet, are a ruler,
a rug-cutting knife, rug tape
and some adhesive compound
Some makers of cotton carpet
have even prepared complete Gus
tom carpet kits, including in
structions and equipment.
Wool. nylon or rayon rugs can
also be cut and glued, providing

While any of these floor treat

was the councils acceptance Of
Ia Reese proposal to cut is and
IL per cent, respectively, of
costs of elementary and high
school classroom construction
requests of the board in an effort
to effect building economies.
About 70 persons turned out
in a last-ditch fight for full
restoration of the $1.2 million
cut recommended by Mr.. Reese
in the day-to-day expenses Of
the public school system.
Willard Schumacher, president
of the Secondary School Prin-
Icipals Association. told the coun-
Gil the morale of the principals
was low because in recent years
salary policies have telescoped
the spread between principals
pay and that of the starting
salaries for teachers.
Teacher Cut Opposed
Roland Rice of the Montgonl-
Iery Association for Help for Re.
tarded Children urged the coun-
ell to reconsider its cut of 81
teachers in the 299 new ones
requested because he feared the
program of special classes for
the handicapped would be re-
lduced next fall.
Robert Gibson, first vice presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Education Association, said the
new salary raise was entirely
inadequate"
Mrs. Betty Morrison of the
West Kensington area accused
some members of the council of
attempting to hold the line on
the tax rate because the pro-
posed new Silver Spring hospital
will mean new tax in the Silver
STANDARDIZATION area.
Mrs. Dale jackson of Takoma
Park accused the council "of
giving only lip service to the
cause of good schools but holding
tightly to the purse strings"
Building Cut Opposed
Kenneth Henderson, of the
KenSington Junior High School
lPTA, urged that the council re-
tect an 8 per cent cut Of
funds for an addition to the
building.
Mr.. Reese had recommended
that the addition be eliminated
because it would be too costly
but the council overruled him
and provided $536.800.
DR.. Norris said that rather
than engage in what he termed
as false economy of construc-
ton he would prefer to elimin-
ate projects from the school
budget.
Asked by Councilman j. Gra-
hame Walker whether he would
rather wait a year to receive
all the funds requested for an
addition to Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School of get only
some $225.000 for a new library.
DR.. Norris replied:

get"
