grayed or darkened hues and
light floor coverings. The
latter course requires eonsid-
cradle decorative skin and is
best avoided by the neophyte.
Bosie Color Schemes
After settling on favorite
colors, a next step might be
to choose one of the three
basic kinds Of color schemes.
Those include monochro-
matte, related or contrasting.
Monochromatic or lone
color" schemes often are used
for small rooms to give unity
and provide a more spacious
look. As an example, the car
pet might be olive green, a
lighter shade for the walls
and a light and dark green
print for upholstery or drap-
cry or drapery fabrics. An
accent color, such as red or
coral would contribute a pro-
fesSional touch.
Related color schemes are
built on two or more colors
in close harmony, such as
blue with green, red with
orange or gold with yellow
green. One Of the colors
should be predominant such
as a blue-green carpet with
either blue or green utilized
for other furnishings.
Contrasting color schemes
are based on two directly op-
poSite hues - blue with
orange, olive green with rust,
or violet with gold. Various
light and dark tones of either
color could be used in acces-
Sories. It's a good rule to let
one color predominate in a
room, however, to effect an
organized look.
Furnishing Simply
Limited space in some
homes Of today calls for basic
simplicity in furnishings. To
enrich these anonymous
pieces of furniture with char
acter. walls, floors and win
dows must take on special
glamour. Prudence should be
applied here, however. If all
Of these areas are emphasized
in a small room, the effect
can be confusing rather than
decorative. When the walls
are vivid and interesting,
therefore, the floors should
be subdued.
There are exceptions to
these rules. For example, an
Oriental rug can be COM
bined successfully with wall
paper representing lattice
work (used sparingly) to en-
phaSize the Near East at
moSphere.
Finally, for the well dec
GRATED room to achieve sue

Can an amateur cope with
decorating a new house from
scratch?
The answer iS-no, unless
the homemaker tackling the
big Job is endowed with in
nate good taste and vast self
assurance.
Even q person with such
qualities, working without
professional guidance or ad-
vice, may find the results
lack that extra flair the
trained decorator provides.
An amateur decorator must
bear in mind, however, that
no home should be complete
" furnished in q rush Of
color schemes, furnishings
and appointments that later
may prove to be hard-to-
lve-with mistakes of judg-
ment.
Nor should the homemak-
ers who lean on a profess
ional's decorating talents al
low the latter to superimpoSe
his or her tastes on those
of their own. The home
should always reflect distinct
desires Of the owner in terms
Of colors and styles.
If it's a case of redecorat-
ing the home through chang
ing color schemes, revising
window treatments or redo
ing upholstery, the problem
is one the informed amateur
can generally solve alone.
Professional Assets
Assets the professional
brings to the job include
courage to do the unconven-
tional plus an ability to COM
bine the unexpected. These
qualities often determine the
extra flair that appears in a
room planned by a trained
decorator.
For the person willing to
tackle the job and go it alone
there are q few basic steps
to follow.
To begin, the homemaker
should weed out colors until
she finds a choice of hueS
that are family preferences.
She must keep in mind that
backgrounds have assumed a
new Importance in the small
er homes Of today. And she
ought to follow a decorating
rule of thumb in giving every
room q focal point Of its own.
Colors add impact to the
setting and should be chosen
with care. Most rooms are
decorated in an ascending
scale Of values in homes Of
today. That means rugs are
darkest, walls lighter and
ceilings Hghtest Of all.
The professional decorator,
with courage born of expert
ence, may combine the un-
expected, using a descending
scale Of color values. In
that case, solid color walls
are mixed with q ceiling Of

The trajectory error was
caused by an unexplained roll

Mariner II at a higher-than-
planned altitude.
While appearing confident

launched British satellite Ariel
have been severely damaged,
and several have had their
useful lifetimes shortened by a
factor OF 4 or 5.
Impede Light Conversion
The damage is attributed to
the action of the energetic
particles which bombarded SOL
ar cells. These cells, tiny
slivers Of silicon, transform
sunlight into electric energy
to power instruments in the
satellite payloads. The elec-
irons apparently impede the
cells ability to convert light
to power.
Telstar escaped damage, the
NASA spokesman said, because
its solar cells were specially
designed to Withstand condi-
tions in the original Van Allen
belt. which lies outside the new
band. Teistar orbits the earth
at attitudes between 600 and
$500 miles.
A telephone company spokes-
man explained that cells on
Telstar's surface had been pre-
pared In various ways for ex-
perimental purposes. The pur-
pose Of the experiment, he said,
was to gauge the degradation
brought about by Van Allen
belt radiation.
Some Of the cells were COW
cred with filters made of syn
thetic sapphire, some were pro-
tected with thinner sapphire
covers and some were not
shielded. The unprotected and
partly protected cells suffered
some damage. but this was
expected and did not affect the
performance of the satellite,
the Bell spokesman said.
Similar precautions were not
taken on other satellites be-
cause there was no reason to
expect they would operate in a
Van Allen belt type of environ
ment. Their orbits average a
few hundred miles-well below
the danger zone prior to the
H-bomb explosion over Johns
ton Island July 8.
The effect of the new belt
on the solar-cell power supplies
was quite dramatic" the
NASA spokesman said.

NASA Hopes to Correct

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Aug. % (AP).-A small ace-in-

pounds is the big key to Amer
ica's attaining the worlds
most significant interplanetary
achievement - shooting the
Mariner II Spacecraft on an ex-
ploratory mission past Venus.
If the complex space mes
senger sweeps within 10000
miles of Venus in December as
planned-after a 180-million-
mile trip-it would mark a ma
Jor breakthrough for the United
States in the race for space.
Information relayed by Mar
lner II could help scientists and
astronomers unravel secrets
concealed for centuries by the
planets constant cloud layers.
1t could determine whether life

it is far off course.

Ten Data Satellites in Orbit

Two of the 10 information
producing satellites now in or
bit are powered in part by
nuclear energy. These power
sources are not affected by the
belts radiation, but the solar
cells on these satellites appar-
emily have apparently suffered
some degradation.
The weather satellite TiroS
", whose surface is literally
covered with solar cells, is mot
severely" affected, NASA said.
However, only one camera
aboard the satellite is current
ly working, which means that
the drain on Tiros' power sup
ply is not as great as was
planned. Under these condi-
tions, deterioration of the solar
cells might not be detachable.
1t is understood that a
Samos "Spy-in-the-sky" satel-
lite orbited by the Air Force
suffered particularly severe
power-supply damage, but de-
tails could not be obtained,

year. According to NASA, the
postponement was at the
Navy's insistence.
Another satellite, the joint
American-Canadian SGT top
side Sounder" will be sent up
on schedule next month de-
spite the fact that its planned
orbit will take it into the hot
test part of the belt, about
900 miles up, the NASA spokes-
man said.
Schirra DRIFTING Slated
Some scientists in the Space
Agency are concerned over
possible effects of the belt on
AStronaut Walter M. Schirra,
jr., who is scheduled to fly six
orbits in a Mercury capsule
late next month. NASA'S de-
cision, however, is to go ahead
with the Schirra flight on
schedule. The prevailing opin-
ion is that dangerous radiation
does not exist at the attitudes
of a Mercury mission.
Comdr. Schirra's capsule is
expected to range in altitude
between 100 and 16O miles,
compared with the 200 mile
altitude generally believed to be
the new belts closest approach
to the earth. Concern over the
safety of the two Russian cos
monauts who spent several
days in orbit earlier this month
is groundleSs, NASA says.
Their maximum attitudes were
even lower than Comdr. Schir-
ra's is expected to be.

"A conservation crop rotation system is a very important phase of farming. By crop TO- tations we mean the growing of different crops in recurrent succession on the same piece of ground. The most desirable crop rotations include grasses and legumes. They protect the soil from wind erosion, dashing rains, slow down run off, and collect soil particles which would otherwise be lost.
 They also aid in absorption by adding valuable organic matter and improving the soil condi- tion. Spread of diseases to crops is greatly cut down by use of alternating crops.
 A good crop rotation system should include the use of ani- nal manures and crop residues. The lowly manure pile can be one of the most valuable assets on a farm and should, by all means, be used to it's very best advantages.
 Land will only stand so much abuse from continuous crop ping. Therefore, soil improving crops should be used to. keep fertility up, land productive, prevent spread of disease, and adding of organic matter to make the land productive for years to come.
 Through the use of proven conservation practices on the land, which include a crop TO- tation plan, we can protect the soil from erosion, increase crop yields and increase the soil fer tility.
