A Look at Carpets
Carpets and rugs make the home
more attractive. They provide com
fort, safety, warmth, and quietness.
They make a room look larger if
they are from wall to wall. Plain
or subdued designs give a more
spacious look than brightly colored
and figured patterns. Also rugs
covering to within 8 to 12 inches
of wall make it larger.
When selecting, think of traffic,
lighting color and size. Be sure to
measure correctly and select best
quality for price, Wool is still good
but new fibers have good qualities
also. Be sure to use cushion for
durability.

A KITCHEN TELEPHONE
Georgia home makers are break
ing the “bottleneck” of inadequate
home wiring at the rate of 22,000
residences per year.
So declared Courtney Bythewood
manager, residential engineering
division, Ga. Power Co., who point
ed out that the 22,000 figure rep
resents the number of Georgians
who qualified last year under a
special wiring plan approved in
1960 by the Ga. Public Service
Commissitxi.
When the plan was inaugurated,
company residential engineers es
timated four out of five Georgia
homes did not have adequate elec
trical wiring. Under the plan, Ga.
Power pays from $50 to $200 toward
installation of adequate wiring.
Mr. Bythewood also reported an
other important Georgia break-thru
was made last year in all-electric
homes. He said a total of 2,656 all
electric homes were added in 1961
to lines of the Georgia Power Co.
and of other power suppliers in the
state.
“With Georgia’s rapidly expand
ing economy and the increasing in
terest in the construction of new
and modern homes over the state”
the engineer said, “we expect this
figure will either be equaled or ex
ceeded during 1962.”
Bythewood also pointed out that
the average Georgia home maker
today is using a far greater va
riety of home appliances. In the
period between 1950 and 1960, he
said, the number of electric appli
ances in the nation’s homes
jumped from seven to 13.
More TV Sets in U. S.
Than Flush Toilets
WASHINGTON—There are sligth-
ly more television sets in American
homes than flush toilets or bath
tubs.
This is one conclusion drawn
from the mass of statistics gather
ed by the U. S. Census Bureau in
I its I960 survey of the nation’s 53
million households.
TV sets are found in about 88 per
cent of American homes and one
out of 10 households has two or
more sets. Yet only slightly more
than 85 per cent of these homes
had hot or cold running water in
door toilets or bathtubs. Only ra
dio sets were more popular than
television. They were present in 91
per cent of U. S. homes and one
out of three families had more
than one out of three families had
more than one radio in working or
der.
Only 75 per cent of U. S. homes
, had telephones and the percentage
was 62 per cent for washing mach
ines. Dryers were found in 15 per
cent of American households.
About one out of eight homes
had some form of air condition.
This means either a room-cooling
| unit or central air conditioning—
not just fans that circulate the air.
Home food freezers were present
in about one in every six dwellings.

A kitchen telephone is the most
time and labor saving convenience
you can give your wife. There
isn’t a wife today who couldn’t
use the time and energy that’s
saved each day by a kitchen
telephone. No more running to
answer a ringing phone in another
part of the house, and no
missed calls either. Inexpensive
too, only pennies a day.

Tilts is the Ford Fairlane s new Challenger “260” V-8.
There's no other \-8 like it. It’s the latest in a series of Ford V-8 triumphs
that started back in 1932 when Ford introduced the world’s first popular-
priced V-8. Today—30 years and 30 million V-8’s later—the Challenger
“260” adds new fuel to the hottest performance record in V-8 history. It
gives you all the time-tested toughness of iron—with a lightness and com- .
pactness iron never had before. A muscular 164 hp, this new Challenger
“260” V-8 is all snap, sparkle and smoothness. It runs on regular, yet gives
you better gas mileage than any standard-size 6-cylinder car. Price it and
you’re in for a surprise—a Fairlane V-8 carries a smaller price tag than some
compact Sixes. And, of course, a Fairlane gives you big-car room and fine-
car quality you’ll find in no other car anywhere near Fairlane’s amazing
low price. There’s never been a buy like Fairlane because there’s never
been a car like Fairlane; that’s why this all-new car from Ford is now out*
selling every other “new-size” car!
