MAY 14, 1970 ,Check Your Room Air Conditioner sidered in selecting the room air conditioner with the correct out- put - the size of room,the roomi's exterior exposure and the in- sulation above the room ...As an example, a living room with 228 square feet of living space (19 feet by 12 feet)ytould need a unit with 7,500 BTa(Brit- ish Thermal Units) cooling capa- city, if the room had an east exposure and if the ceiling was under an, occupied room or'an insulai#d attic. ...That same sized room with a west exposure and an insulated ceiling would require a unit with 11,000 BTU. Selecting a correct-sized room air conditioner should not be a haphazard decision. It is wise to consult a reputable room air conditioner retailer who can help determine the correct size for the room. The Association of Home Appliance Manufactu rer s(AH AM) and various individual companies make available specially cal- culated charts and selection guides which the homeowner may want to obtain. - In short, consult with someone who knows. Don't just get' the same capacity unit that a friend has. The room in question may have a different exterior exposure and entirely different needs. Size is not the only important factor when selecting - a proper room air conditioning unit. There are several other things to con- sider. Make sure the unit has true flexibility of air direction and movement. You 'may want to direct the air to adjoining rooms, and you don't want uncomfortable blasts of air or inadequate air throw. Can the air be thrown straight ahead? To the right? To the left, or in two directions at once? These things should be taken into account when buying the unit. ...Operating sound level r is an important: ingredient of comfort, but it is difficult to determine how loud a unit will be until after it's in use. This can't be judged by the physical size of a unit, and hearing the sound of a unit at the showroom can , be misleading. ...Ask the retailer about! insul- -ation, cusion-mounted moving parts, and choice of fan speeds. Inspect° the size and shape of the filter and insure that it covers 'the full air return area. Also make sure that it can be easily removed, cleaned and reused. The unit will be prominently displayed in the home, so it should be aesthetically good- looking and compatible with the surrounding decor. units together in close harmony. What's more modern work- saving appliances pay attention to color and design, in ways that fit any decor. And that leads to' another point. The kitchen should be attractive. Family preferences come into play here. What shall be the color scheme? Shall the walls be paneled, painted, papered? What should be done about floor and ceiling? Discussion - with some com- promises, no doubt. - should help , the family come up with a general plan. To some extent, decorating will be determined by the other functions of the kitchen.

Air Conditioning THE TIME IS RIGHT For Fast Efficient Installation Donut suffer Through the Long Hot Summer GINGERICH'S uaicx ,SEA,FORTII CLINTON ARE YOU RESTRICTED When the room is air con- ditiened and people still get that alt-too familiar "clammy" feel- ing, the first reaction may be, “We need a bigger air condition- er." That "clammy" feeling comes when the room air condit- tioner Is more powerful than needed, resulting in insufficient humidity control. True summer comfort takes forethought, care and planning. The fpllowing points are offered as guide to maximum cooling pleasure from a room air con- ditioner. The cooling capacity of the unit is the first priority. A unit that has too small a capacity will never provide enough cooling out- put to adequately cool the room. A unit that is too powerful will not provide • adequate dehumidification. That's because a thermostatically-controlled air conditioner will "stop" cooling and dehumidifying when the de- sired temperature is reached. A too-powerful unit will never be "on" long enough to sufficiently dehumidify the area. Three factors must be con- Remodels Home Built In 1856 There's nothing new about remodeling a basement for adu• ditional living space. But to start with an area 5 ft. 4 in. high and dig down through earth and gravel to gain an additional 2 1/2 ft. of height is a bit unusual! That's what happened when Mr. and. Mrs. Richard FluSser tackled the job of remodeling a home built in 1858. Careful planning, lots of hard work and a choice of modern building materials resulted in a relatively roomy basement, com- plete with studio for Mr. Flusser, an opera stage director; - On the top floor, there's a work area for Mrs. Flusser, a graphic artist and former tel- evision set designer - who actually did most of the remodel- ing work. The Flusser house is located in New York City on the site of the Bouwerie (farm) of Peter Stuyvesant, last director general Of the Dutch Colony of New Netherlands. The district was recently designated historic by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Thus the Flussers, while modernizing for more space, naturally, wished to retain the fine old features of their historic home. ' The original brick wall is a highlight of the basement' studio, ,where a combination sheathing- siding plywood with . water- resistant glueline was the choice for other walls and ledges. Metal bi-fold doors enclose furnace and meters. The highly textured, Early AmeriCan wood paneling and creamy white louvered doors complement the brick wall. Indoor-outdoor carpeting was a practical choice for flooring and a ceiling system conceals ugly pipes. Beth Flusser's work area dramatizes an architectural feature - a stained glass done between floors. Footage could have been gained by eliminating the dome, but to preserVe this feature, she defined the tiny area by pulling it together with Charter Pecan paneling and moldings. To the left are stairs leading to the roof, and on fair days light from the open door, and skylight provides a sun-drenched artist's studio. Brucefield BRUCEFIELD U.C.W. A joint meeting of Brucefield U.C.W. group three was held in the school room of the church on Wednesday, Mrs. Alex Townsend and Mrs. Falconer had charge of the opening devotions. Margaret McQueen was pianist and the , scripture lesson was from the 19th chapter of John. Mrs. Falconer read aParable on Mothers Day. A skit by Mrs. Falconer, Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. J. Nott and Mrs. Cantelon was 'presented bringing interesting and helpful thoughts. Mrs. Town- send closed the devotions with Prayer. U.C.W. President, Mrs.- -J. Broadfoot, took the chair and thanked the members of group three, Thank you cards from Mrs. Mac Wilson, Mrs.Don Brodie were read by Mrs.Berry. Letters from foster children were read by Mrs. G. McGregor. Visitors day was set for June 2nd when Kippen, Hensall, Bay- -,..field units will be guests. The hospital cart detail for Bruce- field Unit has been changed from October to August. Mrs. Broad- foot closed the meeting with a poem. For Complete INSURANCE on your HOME, BUSINESS, FARM CAR, ACCIDENT, LIABILITY OR LIFE SEE JOHN A.

Naturally everybody has a real interest in the kitchen, the source of all that good food. But family concern for the kitchen goes beyond this basic. A well-planned, kitchen is a room the whole family can use, so it's wise to get opinions at the outset. What should the new kitchen include? DECOR COUNTS The food preparation area, the food storage area and the clean- up area come first, of course, Good kitchen design brings, dish- washer-sink, refrigerator- freezer and oven-surface cooking Ideas for family room. The family roc.n- kitchen is a favorite in many new homes, and it's often possible to create such a setting in an alder home. APPLIANCES HELP A desk-study area, which Mom can use for household plan- ning and the youngsters for home- work, is another possibility. Even the smallest kitchen should have room for a bulletin board and message center. An informal dining area con- tinues to be one of the most popul- ar kitchen additions. In the smaller kitchen, the'choice could be a breakfast bar. Some extra attractions of the kitchen come from modern ap- Remodelling , pliances - for instance, a range with its own hot water tap or a refrigerator-freezer with an exterior dispenser for chilled water or ice cubes. To create the custom look, there are a variety of wall ovens and cooktop units. And a new dishwasher comes with a dec- orator front. 0 At this point, the family con- ference should probably adjourn in search of information from dealers in appliances and build- ing products. Such information can be a guide to final decisions, budgeting and the distribution of 11 work - what is to be profes- sionally done and what can be do-it-yourself. •• 4 • 4, 0 • • • • Kitci The Whole Family Will Have HERE AT GINGERICH'S We're Ready to Serve You with hilly qualified and trained personnel to Update your Heating or Electrical System WANT ADS BRING QUICK RESULTS: Dial 527-0240 Read the Advertisements — It's a Profitable Pastime!
