CALLING ALL
HOME MAKERS
By [Jennis Sims
IS YOUR FURNITURE
VERSATILE?
Did you ever consider
selecting certain fur
niture pieces that can be -
used in almost any room
of your home ?
Take dining room
chairs for example. Per
haps you have atable a
round which you use four
chairs. However, when
guests come, you insert
extension leaves and use
eight chairs. If you select
a suitable style, you can
use eight chairs. If you
select a suitable style,
you can use these extra
chairs as bedroom, desk
and dressing table chairs
when not needed in the
dining room. It’s also a
good idea to select dining
room chairs that are
attractive enough to use
as extra living room
chairs on occasion.
Lamps are another
good example of the
importance of versatility.
A compatable lamp, such
as a small floor lamp, can
be used alongside any
chair or sofa from the
living room to the
terrace.
A well selected table is
a many-splendored thing.
A living room table of the
right size and height can
double as a dining room
server, cocktail bar or
hall console.
A comfortable lounge
chair, especially those on
rollers, can lead a more
useful, transient life by
being shifted from the
living room to the den,
family room or porch.
Besides, there, is
nothing that will add a
spark of liveliness to a
home more than an
occasional shifting a
round of furniture. For
a wonderful selection of
all kinds of furniture, see
us.

To quote from the philosophy
of the Early County High School.
“We believe the purpose of all
education is to foster the devel
opment of each individual so that
he may achieve the most satis
fying life of which he is cap
able.”. . . “Knowledge and skills
are not the whole of education.
Attitudes, ideals, beliefs, goals,
and values are also fundamental
aspects of growth and develo
pment.”
Because we believe that good
grooming and proper dress In
school is one of the first steps
toward developing mature •
attitueds and values, and not be
cause we wish to punish or res
trict indivludality, we have
developed this code of dress for
the students of Early County
Junior High School and Early
County High School.
