Rocking Chair
Enjoys Boom

Since President Kennedy
has rocked his way into his
tory, the rocking chair bust
ness has doomed. But long
before it was introduced as
a therapeutic device for a
young President with back
trouble, I have been one of
the rocking chairs most de-
voted admirers.
Whether it's a Boston
rocker, an Empire rocker or
a slat-back porch rocker I
love the coy rhythm of a
rocking chair. And I think
that somewhere in every
house there should be a rock
er, not Just for lullabieS, but
for relaxing and rocking
away" the tensions of the
day.
A shiny black rocker, q
natural wood rocker, or a
rocker with gay plaid or
chintz covering would fit in
with almost any type of mod
ern room. And it creates a
feeling of home wherever it
is placed. Some of the modern
varieties don't look up to
holding grandma and a plump
youngster, but perhaps their
more streamlined forms are
stronger than they look.
AS the 1861 theme song
may well turn out to be "Ole
Rockin' Chairs Got Me-" why
not get in tune with the
times and try out a rocking
chair for that corner you
were wondering what to do
about?
Mrs. j. F. n. asks:
will you help me pleasep
My sofa is covered in da-
mask-spricot with a gold
chair, one in brown. one in
green, one to be recovered.
What color walls and wall
to-wall carpet would go well
with the furniture?"
Dear Mrs. ]. F. N:
I should think a luscious
apricot for the walls and q
green carpet would make a
harmonious picture with
your other colors.
Mrs. X. M. w. asks:
Help! I am seeing red!
We just moved into a house
that has red and gray in
laid linoleum, laid in check
er board pattern. The bottom
wall is red, upper wall gray,
and white ceiling. I have red
and gray table and chairs.
All cabinets are white and
the woodwork is light oak.
I can't change the floor,
table and chairs. But
would like to know what
color for the walls and cab
inets and what color cur
tains."
Dear Mrs. X. M. W.:
Paint walls, ceiling and
cabinets Snow-white. Hang
crisp black and white inch
wide striped curtains at the
windows. This way you
should enjoy the remaining
red touches.

will pay tribute to Mr.. and

Mr.. Shefferman to become ex-
ecutive director in 1897, also

Family Formed Choir
Mr.. Shefferman has some
treasured memories Of his many
years with Adas Israel. Among
the first was the time his
father. the late Rabbi Adler
Shefferman, assumed his posi-
tion here as cantor. At the
high holy day services that year
Abe and his three brothers and
two sisters composed a volun-
tary choir. This happy arrange
nent continued until the elder
Shefferman died in 1925.
Singing was a hobby with
the retiring executive director,
whose rich baritone voice was
heard in productions of the
Washington Opera Company
from 1928 to 1923. This inter-
est naturally led to his direct
ing the choir Of IL volunteers
from 1881 to 1946 at Adas
Israel Congregation.
The 69-year-old Baltimore
born executive remembers the
campaign to raise SIS million
for the present beautiful syna-
gogue as the most exciting ex-
perience Of his affiliation with
Adas Israel. He was a key
member Of the committee
named to achieve this goal.
A graduate Of Georgetown

Mr.. Shefferman left in July of

Army engineers in France in
