Calling All Home Makers
The Focal Point
By David Morrison
Your living room should be
built around a “focal point”,
as the decorators like to call
it.
In plain language, this
means the room should be built
around some very outstanding
piece or group of furniture,
or some “center of interest”,
but there should not be more
than one focal point.
Your focal point may be an
eye-catching picture on a wall
(and the colors of this picture
could be picked up and used
throughout the remainder of
the room).
Or, it could be an entire
wall grouping of pictures or
paintings but two large walls
of pictures would be pointless.
A focal point could be an
unusual cocktail table, a sofa
and chair grouping, a brightly
colored large plant, (real or
artificial) or a gold carved
framed mirror to name just
a few.
The important thing to re
member is that the focal point
must be sufficiently outstand
ing and attractive to use as the
center of interest.
If you’d like some ideas
for your living room, come in
and talk it over with us. at

“Litterbugs” In
Covington To
Draw Big Fines
The Covington Police depart
ment has started a campaign
to crack down on persons throw
ing litter on the streets of the
city. Mayor Walker Harris stated
Tuesday that all city law officials
would issue citations to persons
caught, or persons reported to
police violating this state law.
Persons found guilty of throw
ing tin cans, paper, garbage,
trash or any kind of rubbish
on the streets or highways are
subject to a SIOO.OO fine.
The mayor has asked that any
one who sees another person
throw rubbish on the streets,
please report that person or the
license number of the car to the
Covington City Police. Mr. Har
ris says that it is a difficult
job for the police to actually
catch anyone throwing litter on
the streets or highways.
