APARTMENT FORUM
By NORMA and DON

ers, there usually is an easy way
out, if you can find it.
Modern desks, which fit well
into an apartment living dining
area or bedroom. are open and
functional in design. Drawers
can be merely movable trays or
containers for holding desk sup
plies.
The man who wants to build
a desk without the bother of
hard-to-make drawers should
design it with open shelves.
Drawers con be provided by
placing wooden desk-top letter
trays on the shelves. These do
the job Of drawers and look
especially interesting when
painted a contrasting color to
that of the desk.
Another idea which is be-
coming popular these days is
to use small wicker baskets.
They offer a variety of texture
as we'll as color for your desk
and can also be used in place
of drawers.
All you need these days for
an attractive and practical desk
is a plywood top. a shelf section
to support one side and wooden
or metal legs to support the
other. The drawer problem is
already solved.
THE EMPTY SPACE-We've
never made a survey, but we
think We know the time when
the average apartment dweller
decides to move to larger quar-
tiers. 1t generally comes just
after he has arrived home laden
with needed purchases, only to
discover that there is not a
square inch Of space in closet,
shelf or drawer in which to
store them.

It could easily occur when, for
some time. the reorganization
and cleaning Of shelves, closets
and drawers have been neglect
led, and unwanted items have
been allowed to accumulate. 1t
could happen during the change
of seasons, when the apartment
is filled with items used both
during summer and the winter.

one friend of ours follows a
policy of, come what may, always
keeping one small space vacant.
In her case, it is an empty draw
er. but it could as easily be a
shelf. or a corner in a closet.
This gives you a feeling that
there is some place where you
can put something out of hand.

VACATION ALL SUMMER

VACATION ALL SUMMER
How many times have apartment
friends Of your set of gaily on a
two-week vacation, only to dis
cover that they have missed two
pleasant weeks of weather at
home, and that they face spend
ing the rest of the season in the
unbRoken heat Of their apart
ment?
Unfortunately, weather pre-
dieting hasn't progressed to the
point that it can tell us which
two weeks will be the most un-
pleasant at home and, therefore,
the best to go on vacation.
One solution to this dilemma
is to vacation all summer long.
Westinghouse are fortunately
located in the midst of wealth
of resort, scenic and historic
areas, all within 200 miles, or
weekend distance. For sports
and scenic beauty, the Maryland
and Virginia beaches and the
Blue Ridge Mountains, with the
Skyline Drive and Appalachian
Trail. are all within easy reach.
For those interested in historic
sightseeing, a week end could
easily be spent at each of the
following places: Williamsburg,
Philadelphia, Charlottesville,
Hershey, Pa. and Central Vir-
ginia, including Wakefield, Fred
Iericksburg and the Richmond
area.
With sightseeing and resort
sports to keep your mind of the
heat, and r-conditioned hotels
and motelS in which to spend
the nights, your family can have
Ia brief vacation nearly every
week end all summer-if you can
afford it.

THE KHAN "cross burning"
rebuke of the U. S. Constitu-
tion at Americas Capitol last
week was a good spectacle for
many SNUG citizens to behold
at this time when most eyes
have been turned toward Rus
Sia as the single menace to
our form of Government. The
Washington f1outing of federal
laws was not inspired by the
Kremlin. This un-American
attack was directed by influ-
ences from states and capi-
tai cities within our own ma
ton.
THE CONVENTIONS of both
political parties to be held
next month will focus even
more sharply this poison pre-
justice pattern, designed
against different races, reli-
gions and colors. The spectacle
which has already seen dele
gates walk out on racial justice
should shame both parties.
The recent Klan challenge
should make both parties de-
termine now that neither will
retreat one more inch from
Southern or Northern racial
intolerance.

WASHINGTON - Debate on
Civil rights legislation now be-

Southerners heatedly exert

The bill would set up a ci-

enable the Federal Govern
ment to obtain court injunc-
tions to protect the voting
right of colored citizens.
Congressman Thomas G.

favor with the colored vote
in Northern cities"
He hurled the charge Of
Northern hypocrisy as he de-

fuse to mingle socially with
their colored House Colleagues
The charge appeared tri-
