Shoeboxes make
useful storage
By BUROKER
& HUNTSINGER
Cupboard, closet and all
kinds of storage space Seems
hard to come by nowadays:
Apparently there are few
people who can ever boast
they have lots and lots of ex-
tra drawer space.
So finding a place to put
things seems a perpetual
problem for almost everyone.
Folks often call others who
never throw anything away a
"pack rat." The expression
refers to a small rodent noted
for saving everything it can
carry back to its nest.
Perhaps, too, you have
heard the joke about the indi-
vidual who kept a full shoe -
box which had a label read-
ing, "Saved string.: too short
to use."
Even though you might not
be that string save --chances
are you have collected more
belongings than there is
space to keep. But chances
are also excellent you can
find extra, empty shoeboxes.
Either for shoes or other be-
longings, these containers
can easily be converted into
racked stacks which provide
useful, convenient and at-
tractive storage.
The first thing to do is cut a
hole in one end of such a box.
Measure about one inchfrom
the top and cut out the re-
maining part along the sideS
and bottom.
For the next step, use clear
household plastic or any
piece of similar material. The,
bags used for fruits and vege-
tables in grocery stores are

How does VD
get started?
By ELEANOR 13.
RODGERSON, M.D.
Q. How does veneral dis-
ease begin? Who is the
source?
A. VD (venereal disease)
starts with an infected person
who gives it to someone else
who, in turn, passes it on. One
person may infect many
others and those others infect
others and so on. Veneral dis-
ease has been present as long
as men and women have been
having sexual intercourse.
If every case could be
treated and cured before
spreading occurred, venereal
disease could be eliminated.
We have cures available, but
there has to be, in addition,
the desire to remain free of
disease. We are told that
there is no VD on mainland
China where the government
took a hand in eradicating it.
In this country, we prefer
our freedoms, but we. sherd
learn how to handle them and
not do damage. There are
many people who simply do
not care whether they spread
their organisms or not; there
are those who have now de-
veloped strains of bacteria
that are resisitant to anti-
biotics; and there are those
who have no symptoms, but
who can infect others.
Every woman, and man,
having sexual intercourse
should have routine tests for
syphilis and gonorrhea, the
two most common venereal
diseases, and, then, if part-
ners are changed, should be
tested again, and again. A
woman with VD not only
harms herself, but also her
partner and, frequently, her
unborn child.
Q. Is sexual intercourse the
only way to get VD? Can you
get it from the toilet, 'using
friends' lipsticks, etc.?
A. No, sexual intercourse is
not the only way to get VD,
excellent. heets, shirts and . J.
other department store mer-
chandise also come packaged
in strong plastic which is
serviceable.
Stretched firmly and taped
to the sides of - the box, this
plastic will form a clear win-
dow. Now, cover all the rest
of the box in a decorative
manner. Use contact, wall-
paper, construction or white
butcher paper, as desired. If
the paper itself is not pat-
terned, use paint, crayons or
felt pen to create a bright but
simple design that pleases
you. Be sure to decorate the
box lid in the same manner.
Several such decorated
boxes can serve several pur-
poses. First of all, unsightly
clutter is no longer a prob-
lem. Instead, half a dozen
such boxes, all the same size,
can be arranged in a corner.
to look like a miniature
dresser. Whether used to
store shoes or other objects,
the window will allow one to
see the contents immediate-
ly.
A group of like boxes piled
on a shelf can provide a see-
through window case of
sweaters. ,Stored neatly in
this manner, not only are
they easier to find, but the
garments will prove easier to
care for as it's quicker to fold
them and put them away with
a new motto to work with:
"Everything in its place, and
a place for everything."
SIMPLE—It is transparently simple to find shoes and other belongings when they dr e
stored in neat stacks of decorated boxes.
but it is the usual way. Towels
and toilets contaminated wi
fresh gonorrheal secretions
have been cultured and ac-
tive organisms have been
found, but spread from these
sources is not common. Little
girls who slide on and off con-
taminated toilet seats may
pick up a gonorrheal infec-
tion.
Variations in sex practices
can result in syphilitic sores
and gonorrhea of the throat
and rectum as well as of the
vagina.
I do not think it likely you
will get VD from a friend's
lipstick'. If the friend had a
syphilitic mucus patch on the
lip, it might be possible. Cer-
tainly, impetigo, a strep In-
fection, has been spread this
way.
What saves us is the fact
that the syphilis and
gonorrhea organisms are
very fragile and do not live
long outside the body. Simple
chilling and drying are usual-
ly enough to kill them. Almost
any antiseptic used to clean a
toilet seat would be effective.

Guest room
colors given
By BARBARA HARTUNG
Q. My daughter has moved
away from home and I wish
to convert her small bedroom
into a guest room. I have a
good-looking brass twin bed
and- a small colonial night
stand. Please suggest a color
scheme and way to make the
room have a nice colonial
background and personality.
I would like wallpaper, I
think. Our carpeting is brand
new and a soft blue. — I. R.
A. You might wallpaper the
upper portions of your walls
in a blue and green and white
print and paint the lower por-
tion of the walls white, adding
molding to create a chair rail
effect. Do he ceiling in white
paint. Reat the wallpaper
pattern in your draperies and
bedspread, if f)ossible.
This will give you an all-
over pattern that will tend to
make the room seem slightly
larger. You ,might line the
draperies in a soft -blue that
complements the drapery
fabric. To add some attention
to the headboard, why not
create a sort of head canopy?
This can be done by shirring
fabric (the solid blue might
be nice) across the back of
the headboard wall. At each
side of the bed shir some of
the patterned fabric and hang
on the ceiling to just slightly
enclose the head of the bed.
You can add cornice boxes
over this canopy and repeat
the same over your window.
Cover the cornices in the fab-
ric, too. Add a small chest for
your guest and perhaps a
skirted table with plenty of
adequate light to read in bed
by and to dress by.
Q. My teen-age son's room
is being redone and he has
found some Kelly green plaid
carpeting he very much
wants. It has black, gold and
red in it in small quantities.
What would you suggest for
walls, windows, bedspreads
and director's chair cover?
His room is 13 by 15 feet and
has lots of natural light. —
R: RV'.
A. The carpeting sounds
like great fun. I think Kelly
green walls would be terrific
since you have lots of natural
Digit. Then II t it would be
good looking to cover panels
of plywood with felt in red
arad- gold. Hang these panels,
alternating the colors, on the
walls. He can hang all his
treasures on these from pic-
tures, notes and homework to
tennis rickets and even skis.
Provide him with a plain
bright red bedspread that is
perfectly plain. If he likes pil-
lows, give him some green
and gold ones and a few bla4
furry ones. White furniture
would look well hi here or
piece or two of .black wolf
add drama, He might like a
gold bean-bag chair and add
gold canvas to your director's
chair frame.
For the . windows, green
woven shades with a touch of
red, gold and black could be
stunning or you could use a
plain white window shade and
add bands of felt in the green,
gold, red and black. Decorate
a cornice box for the top of
the windows the same
