/ Good Venting
Xitehen ventilation to reduce
heat, cooking odors and smoke is
a welcome feature in many up-
to-date Medallion Homes
There are several kinds of
ventilating fans available, from
very simple units easily fitted in
windows to -decorative hoods over
the range. Properly engineered
and installed, they make the
kitchen far pleasanter to work
in and keep kitchen curtains,
walls, and ceilings clean and
bright beyond the norm,
Suh Device Used.
Among the newest ventilating
devices are ones which purify the
air and re-circulate it without ex-
haust ducts, They are the same
kind used on atomic submaripes
and probably will be used as well
when man starts making trips to
',be moon.
Ventilating systems that re-use
air without exhausting ;it, can
save on heat in wjnter. Future
models may incorporate a small
air conditioner, or may vent the
air to te central air conditioner,
for cooling In the summer months.
