It may .be an 'olds school chum "who, with his wife, plan to visit fora couple of days, or mother and dad who tiiaYe drop- ped in for the weekend. When they do, isn't it nice to be able to say, "Why not stay with us?" . Unfortunately, there are famil- ies who are unable to do this simply because • of the lack of house space. To issue such an invitation, under any and all cir- cumstances, requires more than just a warm feeling of hospitality. It needs, also a well-appointed guest room, The most essential factor in planning a guest room can per - 'haps be summed up in ,one word— "privacy". It should be a room to which guests can go and feel that they are completely on their own, where they need not be an intrusion' on the family. There are many things a family can do in their home to provide such a guest room that is, besides "doing it now", thereby creating additional winter employment. The guest room, of course, can be fitted out in varying degrees de- pending upon Circumstances. Per- haps the simplest step that can be taken, and certainly one that should not entail too much ex- pense, is the installation of a wash basin in the guest room.

But 'that cuts down o t,.. elotheas hanging space, and today it, is con- sidered more practical to. make - the wash basin part and parcel of the furnishings of the room. This has been made easier by the in- troduction in recent years of a wash basin built into a counter top, on which all the accessories of the..teilet can be placed:, With a Mirror on the wall, the fixture becomes a combination• of a wash basin and vanity and be- cause of its beauty of both design and color, it adds to rather than extracts from the appearance of the room. Even more desirable, if space permits, is a complete powder room, or half -bathroom, with both wash basin and toilet. This re- quires a self-contained .space, of course, but even a fair-sized cup- board is sufficient to house it. An area no bigger than: five-by:three- feet can be made to do, apd many bedroom cupboards, particularly in older houses, are sufficiently big. Sometimes it is more practical, and often more useful from the family's point of view, to build the guest bathroom. not in, but adjac- ent to, the guest room. Space may snuggest itself in a hall cupboard, or even the end of the hall itself will -afford space for a small bath,- room. ath=room. In this connection, two fixtures that -have been developed within recent years might help answer the -space problem. One is the square bathtub. Some of these are no bigger. than 42.by .31 inches, a size small' enough to fit into the most limited area, while one some- what larger -48 by 46 inches-1eit only takes up little space but, in its diagonal measurement, pro- vides a full-length tub as well. A guest room thus fitted' out is one Vat will assure plaudits for the thoughtful householder. But, though, they are_ generally careful planners, they are• not engineers, - and might easily be discouraged from starting such an undertaking because of the apparent difficul- ties involved. Often, however, a consultation' with. a reliable plumbing contrac- tor will be sufficient to prove that they are not nearly so great, and probably not so costly as they had imagined. And if the project was undertaken now while the help is available, it could be completed in jig time. • NEWS OF gENSALL Ufa AREA. p 0RGANIZA'il: NS ARE BUSY W TH WINTERTIME NTE.RTIME- ACTIViTtES� Guide Corner The February 9th meeting .of the Guides began with the inspection and the opening exercises.
