looks like a sofa instead of a
bed is recommended, and its
uncomfortable depth may be
minimized by massing many
pillows on it for daytime sit
ting comfort.
Other furnishings should
also be in a living-room mood.
A cocktail table, for example.
seems more appropriate in
such a situation than would
bedside tables, and is equally
useful for keeping conven-
fences near at hand for the
overnight guest. Bedside
lighting in this case might be
provided by floor rather than
table lamps.
Color schemes and fabrics
should be practical as well as
pretty. Since this room will,
among other things, probably
serve as a secondary living
room, the new wallcoverings
of plastic which resemble
grasscloth, straw or tweed
would be a wise selection.
These need only be washed
down.
For upholstery, soma new

rug If I can have it cut into
an oval shape. The rug also
needs to be dyed. ! feel this
should be a professional job.
Is there some sort Of pattern
/ can use to follow in cutting
the rug myself? If not, what
would help?
Answer think you are
wise to have the rug dyed
professionally. Cotton can be
done, even in q washing ma
chine, but other f1bers are
harder to work with. There
are no patterns that would
help. You might, however,
try cutting the rug in a rec
tangle by carefully measuring
with metal tape measure to
be sure sides are straight.
Question: am redecorat-
ing my living room. I am
masking all walls white. I have
a modern, royal blue and
black sofa and two Scandi-
navian chairs in walnut
which need recovering. What
colors do you suggest for
these, carpeting and dra-
perieS?
Answer.-Repeat the royal
blue on the chairs, picking a
somewhat brighter shade.
There are q lot of attractive
black and white sheer printed
fabrics around, which would
do nicely for the drapery.
Recently I have seen a red
and black tweed rug which
would give the whole room a
lift. Add some red acceSso-
r1eS: Japanese lacquer boxes,
perhaps, and enamel ash
trays.
Question: would like a
new color scheme for my
kitchen, including flooring. I
would like to use small Colo
nial design on walls with
pink, blue and yellow. Wood
work, cabinets, refrigerator,
gas stove, are white. Kitchen
table is wrought-iron with
black, white and gray top.
Chairs are black and pink.
Answer.-Get one Of the

You've heard, of course, oi
private pension funds; millions
Of Americans have over $2l

could you accurately describe
the financial institution you
call a private pension fund?
Similarly, you've heard of in

you accurately define an in

In yesterdays column, ! be-
gan a brief description Of the
10 leading types of institutions
Here's a guide to the balance
Of the big 10.
Mutual savings bank: With
almost $38 billion of assets
these rank fifth among our f.
nancial institutions now. They
accept savings deposits and in
vest them in mortgages, bonds

out of the income which your
investment company receives
from its holdings.
Sales Finance Companies:
These rank eighth in the list
with $l2 billion of assets. They
obtain their funds by selling
securities in the open market
and borrowing from CONNER
cial banks, and they use the
funds mostly to finance pur-
chases Of such big-ticket items
as automobiles, refrigerators.

though, they usually buy the
installment sale contracts from
the retailer OF the goods.
Personal Finance Companies:
Although ninth in the list, with
only IS billion of assets, these
are the closest of all financial
institutions to the middle and
lower income families. They
make small loans directly to
individuals for the purchase of
big or little ticket items or to
meet household expenses or to
consolidate debts. etc. They get
their funds from selling secu-
rites in the open market and
by borrowing from other insti-
tutions. The size of their loans

counts.
Private Pension Funds:
They've increased from virtu-
ally nothing in the early '20s to
rank sixth today. Their funds
are accumulated out of con-
tributions of employers and en-
ployes and invested in securities
to provide incomes for employees
on retirement. Many plans are
set up to provide a yearly re-
tirement income for the en-
ploye (not including social Sc

Why has the financial struc-
ture Of this country grown
from simple commercial bank
to the diversity Of institutions
illustrated here? The answer is
that as the Nation has grown
the variety of our financial
needs has grown. And as exist
ing institutions have been either
unwilling or unable to meet
those needs, new institutions
have sprung into being which
will meet them.

can charge are regulated by
State laws.
Credit Unions: With assets of
more than $4 billion, they're
last in the list of 10. Credit
unions are co-operatives formed
by individuals who usually have
some strong common interest
such as membership in a union
or lodge-and often spon-
sored by employers for the

functions are to promote saw

has appealed to the sense Of JUS
tice, fair play and decency OF all
nations, asking them to join the
crusade for freedom and set free
all captive and subjected peoples.
The popular African leader
was speaking in Monrovia during
the recent celebration OF Liberals
18TH independence anniversary.
Let US not cease our crusade
for freedom" he said, until every
man and woman, every boy and
girl in Africa and the world can
breathe the air OF freedom and
independence.
In this crusade we are not
alone, for behind us stand not
only the concerted efforts of the
other eight independent states of
Africa, not only the fervent pray
ers of those Of our brothers who
are still laboring under the yoke
Of seryitude and inequality but
also those nations and peoples
who have long fostered, upheld
and maintained the principle Of
the dignity of the individual and
of liberty, justice and equality
