Mortimer E. Freehof -
Much of the house 20 years

Gated, but that will not mean
a stark, strictly engineering
type of design. Even the

decorate his dwelling. That's
an age-old need of mankind
and it will continue to play
an important role 20 years

Smaller Kitchen

dining room table-without
the extra leaves in.
The small, modern kitchens
did come about due to the re-
quirement for saving space in
sm a ii apartments. Much
study has been given to the
subject during the past 20
years and kitchen equipment
was designed to make the
most efficient use of the lin
tied area.
Today, the small kitchen is
the accepted standard except
in large, expensive homes
where servants do the kitchen
chores and step saving is not
a major consideration.
An efficient kitchen layout
follows a set pattern. In the
kitchen there are three CEN
ters of activity. They are:
l. The storage center,
2. The preparation center,
and
8. The cooking and serving
center.
This sequence follows
through no matter what de-
sign kitchen you find best for
your home. If possible, a cab
met for canned goods and
non perishables should be
close to the refrigerator. Wall
cabinets for dishes should be
adjacent to the sink.
If an electric dishwasher is
installed, it should be against
the same wall and adjacent
to the sink. You will conserve
energy in a kitchen that fol-
lows one of these layouts, but
since the kitchen is the wife's
domain, the final decision
should be up to you.

Tribune Syndicate, 1961)

MY husband and I are
planning a home and have
come to an impasse concern
ing the kitchen. If he has
his way, it will be a cubby-
hole like you see in most new
homes where the builder is
trying to save money. I want
one big enough to do some
work in. I am sure you do not
go along with these midget
kitchens either. Please tell
me what you think the prop
er dimensions for a kitchen
should be-" Mrs. w. C. S.
writes.
Answer-Like most of us,
you are suffering from nos
talgia. You remember Grand
mothers kitchen, which was
as large as any two rooms in
a modern home. She even
had a separate room for the
refrigerator so the heat in
the kitchen would not melt
the ice. One thing that
Grandmother did not have
was an idea as to what con-
Stitutes efficiency.
AS far as she was con-
cerned, the word could have
been stricken from the Ian
guage. There was a basic
reason for these large kitch-
ems. Before the advent of
central heating, the kitchen
was the warnest room in the
house and the room served
as the center of many fam
lily activities.
Extra size does not mean
that a kitchen is better to
work in. 1t does mean that
you will walk twice as far to
prepare a meal. A cook on a
submarine feeds 70 to 80 men
from a galley with less floor
space then the top of your

of air control controlling the
temperature at that point.
Planning will continue to
get more elaborate. Every
bedroom will have a bath.
The building will be of pri-
marily component parts
made of sheet materials
which, combined with the
air-cleaning gadgets such
as the precipitron, will vir-
tually eliminate any clean
ing necessities"

What will the house of 20
years from now look like?
That's the question I asked
of a group of architects, all
prominent members of the
American Institute of Archi-
tects. Here are the more in
teresting parts of their an
swers, taking the architects
in alphabetical order:
George A. Bielich-"Pre-
fabrication will play an i'm
portant but different role.
The parts, not the house it
self, will be prefabricated.
But the Nation had better
start doing something about
restrictive practices of all
kinds in the construction
field or we won't be able to
use our chronological ad-
vances. Both heating and
cooling may be done by
atomic power. Factories will
get their power and homes

Lewes Considered As Contender for

Lewes, a small community
located near where the waters

ware State Development De-

lous West Coast ports, but al
so to some Delawareans for the
fish that gives Lewes it's titu-
lar claim is not edible-in fact,
it's one that the average Amer
ican possibly never heard of.
The approximately 5000 resi-
dents of Lewes could, if they
wished to do so, boast that 281,- :
100000 pounds of fish were
docked there in 1860, putting
their community ahead of such
better known ports as Boston,
New Bedford and Gloucester, in
Massachusetts,; and San Fran
cisco and San Diego, in Cali
fornia. While the tuna, herring,
cod, founder, shrimp and lob
sters, docked at these larger
ports, have greater dollar value,
the menhaden, docked at Lew
es, gave the small Delaware
port 1860 runner-up honors on
a tonnage basis. Only San Pc

pounds, topped Lewes last year.

Free Kent County
Polio Clinic to
Open Tonight

Nationally, the Public Health
Service, the American Medical
Association and the National
Foundation are cooperating in
a renewed drive to end the
menace of polio epidemics every
where.
Three properly spaced shots
of Salk vaccine and a fourth,
or booster shot, a year later
have proved highly effective in
reducing paralytic cases. Yet
despite repeated medical advice,
some 81 million people remain
totally unvaccinated and more
than Is million only partially
protected. Almost 1870 of all
paralytic cases reported in 1860
were people who were not fully
vaccinated or not vaccinated at
all. If polio strikes in 1861, it
will reach out for those who
have not built up their defense
against its crippling.
Even though polio occurs the
year round, there are more cas-
es during the warm summer
months and early fall. 1t is,
therefore, most important that
at least the first two shots in
a series be taken before the
summer season in order that
the immunizZing effect can take
place early enough to be most
effective. Since the first two
shots should not be given at
less than several weeks apart,
it is important to start the SER
les as early as possible. While
the first two shots give fairly
adequate protection, it is the
third shot given seven or more
months after the second that
gives the greatest boost to i'm
munity. A fourth shot--a year
after the third--gives even more
protection. 1t is especially i'm
portant that pre-school children
be vaccinated. Also parents of
young children, especially ex-
pectant mothers should act to
protect themselves Immediately.

Red Cross Urges
Army to Supply
Complete Story

The American Red Cross has
had permission to reprint an
article which appeared in a re-
cent issue of the National Am
vet which speaks for itself. It
reads, in part, as follows: There
is a generation of Red Cross de-
famers in existence in the Unit
ed States whose hard core CEN
ter is the returned World War
IL overseas veteran. Not all of
them, mind you, but enough of
them in each community to cost
the American Red Cross pur-
haps hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually in withheld
contributions. For regardless of
the millions that the Red Cross
has given on behalf of the peo-
pie to disaster victims and for
emergency needs, regardless of
the homes it has built and re-
paired and people it has brought
together, lives it has saved, the
returned veteran remembers
only, with branded, dyed-in-the
wool anger, the fact that he
had to pay for Red Cross coffee
and doughnuts while overseas.
The real tragedy here is not
that it isn't true that the Red
Cross sold coffee and dough-
nuts overseas, but that the vet
eran does not know that the
Red Cross was forced, against
its wishes, by the War Depart
ment to require American sold
iers to pay for meals and lodg-
ing. 1t seems to me that the
Department of the Army has
today the precious opportunity
and indeed the moral obligation !
to perform an outstanding SER
vice to the nation by using its
excellent communication sys-
tenn and extensive personnel
records to acquaint each indi-
vidual soldier and veteran with
the truth of this matter which
is doing so much damage to
the strength and the well-being
of our nation"

Dieters as rule don't worry

Miss Janet Coblentz, extension

But before you insist that

suggests you try a few simple
problems of arithmetic:
I'D Two Jumps of sugar in your
coffee add 80 calories. Two
tablespoons of cream add go
more. If you drink four cups
of coffee day, you add 1868
calories to your calorie in
take.

After oil extraction the resi-

Averaging a foot in length
and less than a pound in weight,
menhaden are distant relatives
of the herring. Their value as
fertilizer was first recognized
by Indians who placed one fish

i Lewes is to Delaware what
Plymouth is to Massachusetts,
and Jamestown is to Virginia,
for it was near the site of pres
ent day Lewes that the first
white settlement in what is now
Delaware was established. In
1851, eleven years after the
landing of the English Pilgrims
at Plymouth, Dutch colonists
settled on the right bank of the
"Hoornkill River" now Lewes
Creek and named their new
community Zwaanendael, mean
ing VALLEY of the Swans" This
initial effort at colonization,
however, had tragic ending
as hostile Indians wiped out the
colony within a year of its
founding.
In 1859, the Dutch built a
fort near the site of the pre-
vious ill-fated colony and a
small I'm m u n ity eventually
grew around this fort. By 1873,
the area, under English control,
had developed into a port for
ships trading in grain, meat and
timber. Renamed Deale in the
early 1680's, the community, be-
came, in turn, Lewestown and
then Lewes.
During the Revolutionary War
and again in 1872, Lewes bore
the brunt of the British men
ace to shore and shipping. Prior
to the completion of the Del
aware Breakwater in 1897, the
beaches around the Point of
the Capes were periodically
strewn with wreckage of storm
beaten ships, and, down into
present times, have been the
scene of many exciting rescues.
From the community's earli-
est days, Lewes men have "gone
to sea in ships" Lewes famil-
les have supplied pilots down
through countless generations
and Lewes men still pilot sea-
going craft, from Lewes to Phil
adelphia and other Delaware
River ports, and then down riv-
er and bay to the Atlantic. So
perhaps it isn't too surprising
to find that Lewes, first port of
call from the Atlantic on the
northern water route to Wilm-
ington, Chester and Philadel-
phia, should also rank high
among the Nations great fish
ing ports, advises the Develop
ment Department.
