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. Elizabeth Cooper, H. D. Agent. Printing is a dangerous device to those who do not want their opin ions permanently recorded.

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.
