NEW TUBERCULOSIS QUARTERS
Make Rooms
Look Larger
By DOUGLAS TUoMEY
Contributing Writer

an apartment with two bed
rooms.
Complaints about the ina
bility to get furniture of nor
NAL size into some of the new
houses and apartments are
heard often.
There is no real solution to
lack of space. because furni-
ture takes up just so many
actual square feet Of floor
area.
Still, according to the best
authorities on the subject, it
is possible to make rooms
look larger by taking advan-
tage Of certain tricks with
colors. with patterns and
with furniture placement.
Color is a valuable tool for
creating the illusion of great
er space. Paint a small room
white and it will seem to ex-
pand Immediately. Use a light
version of blue. blue-gray
or any cool color and you
get almost the same result.
White ceilings are a must
in the small room. or at least a
lighter tint of the wall color.
Woodwork must be the same
color as walls because con-
trasting color chops UP the
whole area and gives the IL
fusion of reduced space.
Where two windows are in
one wall, join them with a
connecting valance and
Grapes at each end.

There's A Right Size For Every Child

For them, the sub-teen-whlcn IS synonymous with pre-teen-depart- ment is the answer, sized from 6 to IA. again having nothing to do with age.
 Clothes in this group are more sophisticated, waistlines h We dropped, and there's slight lndl- cation of a bust line. Hens are longer to accommodate the child who's shooting upward.
 A special set of sizes, 8h to 1412' indicate clothes designed for the chubby girl. These are cut more fully in the hard-to-fit spots through the waist and sleeves, and every designer trick is used to make the child appear thinner.
 Now coming on the market IS the new size G (for growing), that should be heaven for the tall, slen- der girl who is more mature than the average, and not yet ready for the pre-teens. Waists are narrower, the bodice is longer, and the skirt is a touch longer. Clothes in this category are more sophisticated.
 Comes the day when the girl has stopped growing, and arms, legs, and hips are properly assembled and in balance. Then at last she can move into her store's misses divls- ion; and settle down as a 12 or Is. hopefully for a long time.

The girl with growing pains and what girl doesn't have them?-- will find clothes buying less frus- trating if she knows her way around in the maze of sizes and terms manufacturers use.
 Ideally, sizes would be synomy- nous with age, and all girls aged seven to IA would flock into the same department. A tall, skinny 10-year-old may find just what she needs in this section, but more developed 11-year-old will be inn patient with the little girl, boxy look, and want the kind of dress found next-door in the pre-teen department.
 Manufacturers size their mer- chandise by shape not age The 3-6X classification is for the little girl who has no waistline and wants a comfortable school dress that swings freely from the shoulders. If she stays on the short side dur ing the early grades, she probably can continue to buy dresses thus sized.
 Clothes marked 2 to 14 are de signed almost identically with the little girl group, but proportion ately larger. Most youngsters past 10 will want more sharper styling than they can find in this depart ment.

 The home owners at Island Lake have our deepest sympathy They have all worked, and are still working, hard at building their homes in that area :. E. Some have built outdoor barbecues, tables and benches They have planted trees and flowers They were glad to share their facilities and the beauty of the lake with others, asking only that care be taken of their property But there are a few (we hope) vicious, thoughtless renegades who seem to delight in destruction and thievery Some trees, brought from the mainland and carefully transplanted here, were willfully cut down =. Homes have been broken into and articles removed :. Boats have been taken and used without the consent of the owners What sort of mentality do such people have, that they show no respect for the privacy and property of others? They evi- dently have no inherent decency, feel no shame, otherwise they would not be able to do such things. It is a disgrace to the entire com munity that the Island Lake resi- dents should be forced to post ''No Trespassing' signs and call on the authorities for protection 2. We sincerely hope the offenders are apprehended soon and receive the punishment that is their due .

The House stationery room

eral store to provide at bargain
prices miscellaneous articles
for members Of the House.
The House Administration

lied the store to procure on re-
quest Of members items not
normally stocked as station

If a member decides he needs
q television set for his office,
or even a clothes washer and

It isn't too likely that the

Until a few years ago, the

for q member just about any
thing he wanted. It bought
articles at the customary deal
er's discount and sold them
without profit, or at a'rominal
profit. In recent years the
store has confined its wares to
stationery items, each House

Congressman
Gives 1stGift
ToCut Debt
By the Associated Press

A Congress member gave the
Government $1,000 to reduce
the national debt yesterday and
received personal thanks from
Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon.
The gift from Representative
Charles E. Bennett, Democrat
Of Florida, was the first the
Government could legally ac-
cept for that specific purpose.
A law which Mr.. Bennett spon-
sored made it possible to ear,
mark hts gift and others like
it in the future for debt reduce
ton. The national debt now
exceeds $2s8 billion.
Mr.. Dillon accepted Mr..
BENEFITS check in brief cere-
monies at the Treasury, and
commented that the Congress-
mans efforts will help to pre-
serve the fiscal integrity Of your
country"
Giving money to the Govern
ment is nothing new for Mr..
Bennett. He has given more
than $4,000 since he came to
Congress in 1949.
During his first two terms,
Mr.. Bennett returned his en-
tire congressional salary. Since
his marriage in 1858 his gifts
have been smaller and fewer,
but he says he has given sub
stantially every year.
Earlier this year he gave the
National Park Service $4,000
to acquire land in the Florida
Keys to protect the Key deer
q species of the American white
tail deer.
Recently he also gave q sub
stantial sum to the Park Serv-
Ice to acquire an Elizabethan
