Fresh New Faces For Your Rooms
It's that time of year again
when we are gently motivated
to giving our rooms fresh new
faces. Of course, there are
many ways of doing this, from
perky new slipcovers to com-
pletely new decorative schemes
but one of the quickest, least
expensive and most rewarding
ways is to treat your walls to an
imposing wallpaper mural,
A mural, used on one or
more walls, can give a room
a fabulous air. Because of their
size and scope, murals always
make a distinct and vital con-
tribution to a room's atmos-
phere.
When a room calls for a fo-
cal point, murals are the solu-
tion. Should a room need
depth, a design with perspec-
tive will provide it. Murals
can add sophistication or a
touch of the light-hearted on a
bold scale. No need to think
in terms of using this type of
decor in the living room only
because they are designed to be
used in many areas - from halls
to kitchens, dining rooms to
powder rooms.
Selecting the right design for
your room's decoration is real-
ly easy - just decide on the
mood you want to achieve.
For a wall with a view, sel-
ect one of the many beautiful
scenics - from sea scapes, to
mountains, to a RiViera vista,
there is a pattern to set the at-
mosphere. If it's a traditional
setting you want to create you
can choose from Spanish, Col-
onial or classical themes.
•
AN ENTRANCE HALL is often the perfect
spot to hang a restful scenic wallpaper
mural. The countryside scenic, its
fresh spring waterfall and mountain vista,
provides interest and depth to an otherwise
bland wall area. The mural is a four panel
design, 8 feet wide. Called "Waterfall"
paper is ready pasted and fully trimmed
easy application—vinyl bonded, fadepr...,
and washab, for easy maintenance -

Dear Ann Landers; I'm so
mad at that college creep who
wrote to complain about dull
letters from home that I can't
see straight, She signed her
letter "Tired Of Reading
Nothing,"
This is my third year away
at college, Mother and dad
were divorced when I was a
senior in high sohool. Dad re-
married almost immediately
and I never hear from him
except at Christmas, Mother
plans to be married in a few
months, She has always been
too busy, too confused and dis-
organized to write.
I am filled with envy when I
see girls in the dorm rush to
the mail box and return with
letters from home, Sometimes
When I get a bill or an adver-
tisement, I put it in my pocket
and pretend it's a letter from
mom or dad - to be read
"later,"
I hope the parents of that ar-
rogant snob recognizes her let-
ter and give her a •diet of no
mail for a few months. She'll
be begging for details about
Aunt Edna's dental work and
asking if the broken street
light on the corner has been
replaced, Believe me. I know.-
EMPTY MAIL BOX.
Dear E. M.: Thanks for
writing, And I hope your par-
ents will recognize YOUR let-
ter,

Dear Ann Landers: The fact
that I'm writing to Ann Lan-
ders is so incredible that I can
scarcely believe it. You are
young enough to be my daugh-
ter, but I trust your advice.
I am 73, a widow of means,
and very lonely, I've been go-
ing with a 40-year-old man
who is grand company and
makes a fine appearance al-
though he has no visible means
of support. He claims to be
living on a modest inheritance.
He goes with other women also,
but they are his own age.
This man wants to marry me
and admits that my money is a
factor. There have been mo-
ments When I've said to myself,
"Why not? What is money
for?" He treats me nicely and
it would be worth a great deal
to live out my remaining years
happily. What do you say?-
VALLEY OF INDECISION,
Dear V,: If you want to Live
out your remaining years hap-
pily, don't get tangled up With
a fortune bunter-and 33 years
your junior yet:
You can bet Your diamond
tiara, madame, that he would
continue to see ,those other wo-
men and you would be the ob-
ject of ridicule and pity.

Dear Ann Landers: My wife
and I took our four children to
visit her folks who live on a
and fIarwmas WWgleadare ocuirty p eople
youngsters
would get a chance to see
wholesome, c:ose-to-the-soil
My father-in-law and I went
to town to get some supplies.
When we returned our six-year-
old son greeted me with the
proud announcement that he
and a neighbour boy had
"drowned a kitten in the
stream." I got sick when he
recounted the details of how
they pushed the kitten's head
under water and finally hit him
with a rock "until he didn't
fight back any more."
My wife turned to me and
said, "Don't lose your temper
Bill, I've a:ready toed Martin
that he shouldn't have done it."
Martin hid behind his mother
but I dragged him out to the
barn and gave him a dozen
whacks across the bottom and
a 15 minute lecture on killing
living creatures.
When I returned to the house
my wife and her family were
furious. They said it was only
a cat and that I was a monster.
I'd like your opinion. Was I
too hard on the boy?-TRUAX
FIELD.
Dear Truax: No. In fact I
think he got off too easy. He
should have lost all privileges
for at least a week.
I hope you informed the
neighbor boy's parents of his
participation in that brutal and
unspeakable act. They sihould
know about it.
In the meantime keen an eye
on Martin. If he shows sadistic
tendencies in the future I sug-
gest you take him to a doctor.

To Assemble
in Goderich
Over the past J.5 years Mr.
and Mrs. Len Geddes have
travelled some 15,000 miles in
attending assemblies of Jeho-
vah's Witnesses. This week-
end, April 29 to May 1, they
will be delegates to the three-
day assembly being held in God-
each.
The main feature of the as-
sembly will come on Sunday
when Clare Statton, district su-
pervisor, will speak to an ex-
pected audience of 500 persons
on the subject, "Does God
Have Influence in This Twen-
tieth Century?"
"At these assemblies we
come to appreciate that God's
kingdom is the only means by
which peace can come to all
mankind," said Mr. Geddes.
He continued by saying, "Je-
hovah's Witnesses believe God's
kingdom to be a real govern-
ment, not just something in the
hearts of men. We believe that
now is the time when all na-
tions must recognize God's
kingdom to be the greatest
power in the universe and sur-
render to it or be crushed by it."
All activity in the local
Kingdom Hall serving this area
will be cancelled during the
week to enable all to complete
plans to attend the assembly.
