Kitchen ceiling with acoustical tile 'good ;*enough to eat under'
One of these days you're
going to do something
about that 'cracked plaster
.ceiling in the kitchen. Just
get some metal lath, mix
a little plaster, and patch
it' Lit'. Nothing to it, right?
Wrong! If you've never
tackled this "job,°check with
someone who has. You'll
find out it takes a great
deal of time, skill and. pa-
tience to repair a plaster
Piling and have it come
out looking good. Add the
mess of wet plaster to , the
clouds of talcum -like duan..
when it's dtie,i and sapded
for painting (another mess)
,and you've' quite a.job on
your,.hands.`t
Ineon%enient clutter
You'll also have..•tb Tape-
with-
copeswith- the .inconvenience .of
naving your kitchen __clut-
tered up with tarpaulins,
buckets, and • ladders for
seVeral days.
What's the alternative?
If you'•re . reasonably
h.andy, you can install` new
acoustical tile right over the -
damaged ceiling surface.
The cost can be less than
half -that of a complete
replastering job . and
there's 'far less mess- ,and
bother.
Styled for kitchen
Armstrong offers an
acoustical ceiling that's
styled especially for kitch-
ens. Called "Gourmet," it'
has an embossed. design of
fruit figures and abstrat
cubes that flows, s2j'ioothly
from wall to wall. What s
more, the tile is coated with
a tough . vinyl- surface so it
can be scrubbed Clean.
-Installing=. one of these
acoustical ceilings' is easier
than you might think. The
tiles , ,can be attached • to
furring strips or suspended
at any desired height with °
Armstrong's new Integrid
Suspension System.
With AN& system, the
sueporting metal gridwork
is hidden behind the tile it-
self. The result is a finished
ceiling that looks it was
installed in one continuous'
piece.

No more of 'snag inshags'
with new -cleaning method
No wonder shag carpets
and rugs are so popular.

vide an extfberant, and
charming background for,.
both' modern and trad'i-
•,•' ttonal "room settings -• and
yet they- seem. to thrive on
hard wear and require only
minimal maintenance.
- Easy upkeep
Shags surpass All other
carpet textures in hiding
wear, soil), and . even spills
•--- and homemakers who
demand easy upkeep are
turning in ever increasing
numbers etto them,
Eventually, 'though, even
the best : soil -hiding • shag
carpet needs , more, than
just vacuuming to remove
the• airborne greasy dirt,
arid soil that dulls the col-
' or, and a cleaning Lis in
order.
But, ironically enough,"
• the shag carpet that thrives
on hard 'wear must be'han-
dled gently when being
cleaned, to' avoid matting
down or tangling those long
e yarns. But how to clean a
carpet with i p sponging or
scrubbing, either by hand
or machine? P -
A new product, Spray 'n
Vac, from Glamorene, does
the job gently and thor-
= oughly, with a new shampoo
technique to solve the shag;
cleaning problem. Spray 'n
Vac ,sprays, on in .minutes
an.d dries in about one hour,
ready for vacuuming—with,
no `Scrubbing or sponging.
. ' Removes dirt's (ilnt
It's that easy --:-and leaves
carpets clean again, because
it removes that dulling film
of greasy dirt.
And, best of all, the shag
carpet is not only lush and
insouciant as before, with, .
no matting or knotting of
the yarns, but springier,
brighter and fresher.

Moderfl bi-f�ld doors
boost available space'
Doors which must open
full width into a room, and
sliding doors which restrict
access to half the area at a
time are two of homeown-
ers' most familiar com-
plaints about cl'osots.
• With modern bi-folds,
• these and many other , ah-
noyances common to con-
, ventional doors are elimi-
nated. ,
Bi -folds actually add to a
ropm's usable living area
because they decrease by
half the floor space'needed
when fully open, a feature
which' also allows for prac-
tically unrestricted place-
ment of furniture. ..
When made of steel, they
•
won't warp or stick, fre-
- ;,Luent `problems with wood
construction, nor will they
produce the vibration and'.
rattle which usually accom-'
parries the opening and
closing of bi-folds made !of
light synthetic materials. <�
• Vh1ie bi-fold steel doors
' are becoming almost stand-
ard closet equipment in new
houses, don't overlook their
opportunities for improve-
meat of your present home,
either in adding new" star -
'
age spaces or remodeling
existing ones. •
A ' wide choice of types
and designs permits you t9
readily meet Your own par-
ticular decorating needs.

provement ' Connell' main-
tains that some home im-

• Outdoor lighti,ig, for ex-
ample, discourages crime at
the:• same tithe that it can
beautify. A number of at-
tractive and efficient out-
door lighting systems are
available, ranging from
softly glowing gas lights ,for
poolside and .driveway, to
the -high-watt crime' de-

"In addition to improving

' Some homeowners invest
in -security systems: Gener

_ units include provision for
both fire and burglar alarms
tied in with a local central
station, Whon the system
detects an intrusion or the
beginnings of a `fire; it im-
, mediately relays a signal to
the station from which -se-
. curity personnel' notify pol-
ice or fire departments.
