Lighting in the House
By Rebecca Knighton
For light, the most essential
element of existence, we are no
longer tied to the cycle of the
sun. Electric light is just as
real and a lot more controll
able than natural sunlight.
We don't usually see the light
itself, rather we see lighted ob
jects. W'hen we speak of light,
we are referring not only to the
amount of light but also to the
kind of light. Diffuse light re
duces shadows to a minimum,
as on an overcast day. Direc
tional light creates highlights
and shadows which can provide
decorative drama or eye fati
gue- The most pleasant envir
onment is usually a combina
tion of directional and diffuse
lighting. It is achieved by the
use of light as a design tool.
There are three kinds of
lighting for the home: general
illumination or soft background
light throughout a room; local
illumination or light for a spe
cific task such as reading, sew
ing, food preparation; and ac
cent lighting for individuality and
distinction, as in highlighting a
painting.
Unfortunately, most rooms are
lighted with floor and table lights
which usually only supply local
lighting- This creates valleys
and peaks of brightness, mini
mizing the space. With the ad
dition of general illumination,
rooms feel more spacious,
brightness contrasts are reduc
ed and the decor is enhanced
because the interplay of line,
form, pattern, texture, and color
can be seen.
General illumination should be
inconspicuous and subtle. It is
the background glow that makes
a room look and feel comfor
table. A wash of light down a
drapery wall, fireplace or sofa
wall makes a room feel inti
mate and relaxing because the
ceiling is in shadow. Lighting
the ceiling by reflection or mak
ing it the lighting source makes
a room feel bright, cheery, and
stimulating, perfect for a kit
chen, family room, or hobby
area.
General lighting can be sup
plied by surface fixtures, mount
ed or recessed or by built-ins
such as valances, cornices, and
brackets. These built-ins are

Rural
Georgia! wSRaK^^
Growth country for industry . . .
Living country for people!
American industry is finding desirable sites in the
countryside — where fresh air, room to expand, will
ing workers, and energetic local interest and leadership
combine to offer attractive alternatives- to the prob
lems in over-crowded cities.
And what a life it is!
Away of life beyond the reach of the urban business
man! Out here a homesite could be just minutes away
from office or plant . . . religious, civic, and educa
tional needs easily met . . . and recreational opport
unities abound!
This is what we have to offer in "selling" Rural
Georgia! It can mean progress and growth for all of
us.

economical, efficient, attractive
and provide quality background
lighting. Built-ins usually con
sist of lines of light from fluo
rescent tubes behind structural
shielding boards.
Fluorescent tubes are ideal
for general lighting because of
their long slender shape, cool
operating temperature, greater
amount of light per watt, long
life and variety of color. Fluo
rescent tubes are made in eight
shades of white; not all suitable
for the home.
Deluxe W'arm White, Deluxe
Cool White and Natural White
are used in the home because
they have a large amount of
red in them. Deluxe Warm
White gives a pleasant rosy glow
and enhances warm colors (red,
orange, yellow). Deluxe Cool
White enhances cool colors
(blues, greens) and creates sti
mulating atmosphere in func
tional rooms, such as laundry,
workshop and hobby areas.
Natural White has an excel
lent balance between warm and
cool, making all colors vibrant
and clear. It is recommended
for use in kitchen and bathroom.
Since it lacks the red element
Cool White makes people look
sickly and pale and should never
be used in living areas.
Lighting can make the home
more beautiful and more func
tional. Good lighting does not
mean expensive lamps and fix
tures; rather it means putting
the right kind of light where
it’s wanted, when it’s wanted.

doing nicely, thank you.
The March of Dimes wants
every mother-to-be to know
that prenatal care can re
duce birth defects —that the

can reduce birth defects.
Public health education is
the answer. Help the March

Kindergartens are Urgent
The majority of delegates to the
annual Governor's Conference on
Education have recently declared
that Georgia’s most urgent need
in Education is a kindergarten
program for 5 year olds. This
conference attracted 800 per
sons. The conference ended with
delegates being determined to
talk to the people and explain
why more taxes were necessary
for schools.
We have 100,000 people
in Georgia who can't write or
read. So, it is left up to public
minded citizens to wake up these
who cannot know the facts for
themselves.
We all realize the early
years of a child's life are cru
cial to his development. It is
known that fifty per cent of an
individual’s mature intelligence
is developed between conception
and age 4, another 30 per cent
from age 4 to 8.
This conference consisted of
teachers, school board members,
< V \
V ©1970 3/ <L. * J
representatives of Parent-
Teacher Associations, civic or
ganizations and business men who
wrote their ideas about Georgias’
needs and how to meet them.
We now realize that no school
system has a complete education
program without a good kinder
garten. We find at times that
some private kindergartens are
no more than baby sitting, others
do a good job of preparing the
child for grade school.
We can recognize the county
school districts to save money,
reducing the size of classes and
generally providing enough
money. Some felt that all Geor
gia high school graduates should
be premitted to attend college
even If their high school test
scores are low. Some young
people wake up and realize "it
is now or never to settle down to
real study”, for their future
vocations and endeavors.
Let’s conserve these smaller
ones and get them ready and ori-

Record-Breaking
revenue for 1970
Georgia had "record-break
ing" revenue collections during
1969, Revenue Commissioner
Peyton Hawes said.
Hawes said a total of $846,
608,955 was collected during the
year from all tax sources, a
14.8 per cent increase over 1968.
Georgia operates its budget
on a fiscal year basis, begin
ning In July, however, and Hawes
said collections for the first,
half of fiscal 1970 were up 14-4
per cent to $407,002,850.
But collections for the month
of December, while up 9.6 per
cent to $55,765,512, reflected
a slight leveling off, in relation
entated to real school work. You
will see "the small fry” really
get ready to read quicker and be
"ahead of the game In school
progress." Let's finance this
program It will pay off In the long
run.
