El OWL '4 17DR124"40 HOME ECONO!"5 • Hello Homemakers! Electricity will be playing an increasingly important role in our homes in the near future. There will be improved lighting. Lighting will lie chosen first, because it is adequate for good vision and, sec- ondly, because it is decorative. This is in complete contrast to the days when the rose shaded lamp with the fringe cast only a small circle of poor light, but was considered very elegant. Electricity helps you work or relax with ease if the light is adapted to your work. Bare bulbs, even inside frosted ones, are glaring and should not be used if they come within your field of vision. A 200 watt light is placed four feet from your tedious work, whereas a 200 watt central light- ing fixture is ample for general kitchen routine. One reason why homemakers prefer white or ivory paint for their kitchens that these colors do not absorb light, It is especially important to stress keeping the kitchen lighting fixtures clean as they become greasy and dusty quickly. Darkened bulbs should be discarded—they give poor light and may burn out at an inoppor- tune time. When you buy a supply sof new ones, purchase long-life bulbs of the correct voltage. The local Hy- dro man should be consulted about the kind to buy. Now that more people are studying ...•••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••-n•••••••• and reading fine print every night, you really most consider adequate light. A white lined shade with a straight slanted side in a table-lamp near your reading chair with a 200 watt bulb provides the best source of light, The best types of floor or table lamps arc thsose with white glass or white plas- tic bowls. A reflector bowl should be used below the bulb if the lamp is high. The tri-light lamp for instance has a reflector bowl—and table-read- ing lamps should have them too. TAKE A TIP Lighting and lightening tasks are two different things. Each should be planned and revised, Equipment is man-designed, but woman-used. The best way to decide whether your kit- chen is usable is to make a time-and- motion study of the jobs you do. How can your kitchen be improved? 1. Work space: Although the sink, refrigerator and electric range may be relocated for greater convenience in the approved plan the sink is the cen- ter with the range near the dining room door. There should be work sur- face on one side of the range and at the opening of the refrigerator. If the counter is too wide then there will be difficulty reaching for over- head cupboards are accessible places head cupboards. Shallower cupboards are accessible places to store things while additional storage is provided under the oconters. A cabinet under the ;Silk provides space. for storing cleaning equipment and a biding place for the garbage can. If there are not vents on this door, you should put a .screen on it to prevent dishcloths or mops from going sour, Vegetable bins should have open grill at the front and . a small space at the back for ventila- tion, Sliding doors may be expensive but they are worth the money compared to the head bumps of open doors in a. small kitchen. An overhead place next to the refrigerator should be reserved for food storage, One side for eereals, crackers, canned goods, syrups, etc; the other for cooking ingredients and spices, seasonings, etc, And directly under this 'section available working surface which covers the baking tit-; 2, Improvements at the range; It is interesting to see the new features on the new electric ranges, These do a splendid job of baking, broiling, etc., and reduce time and strenuous work, To complete the cookery section a metal utility shelf is needed at one side or directly above the range to hold seasoning and utensils used while cooking, 7,A, sIX AlwalMolimmirrampuriourimmummom oork 1.1 TEM WINGFIAm ADvANcg,TINIES Coupons now valid are sugar-pre- serves S1 to S30, butter R18 to R21 and also B26, Meat Q], to Q4 and M51 and M52.
