Recently, through research ' dollars, scientists have dis- covered a 'marker' which will lead us to the defective gene. When this happens, we could solve the riddle of not only Huntington's disease, but possibly many other dominant- ly inherited disorders of the brain and central nervous system.

Charitable Reg. #0464040-11-15 � ' r Qecor ore A feminine room for a your lady By Barbara Hartung Q. My 12-yeay-old daugh- ter wants to redecorate her bedroom ar)d wishes to create a depidedly feminine look. We'd like some not too expensive ideas for this makeover. She does not care for wall- paper and wants a lot of white with a few color ac- cents.—T. V. A. you and she are fairly patie 1t -'and like to do your own work, you can have quite a marvelous time. Paint her walls a soft off- white and carpet in off-white with squares cut out and re- placed with accents of color- ed carpeting (perhaps three or four). Carpet a plywood platform for her bed. Top the mattress with a white comforter and piles of pillows. Add wooden dowels and wooden uprights at the bed corners from which you might swag yards of white fabric to create a canopy effect. Skirt a small rectangular dressing table in white fabric and top with a mirror. Ac- cessorize with various items that allow you to repeat colors in the carpeting. Q. Over the past few years 1 have added to my collection of good Indian crafts to use in a modified Santa Fe de- cor. I don't like to go over board in my decorating style because I want to avoid a look that is too -contrived and stilted. I have prints, paintings, baskets; weavings, kachinas and pots. I even framed my squash blossom necklace. My most recent addition is a Taos drum occasional table (11 inrches across). 1 like furniture in cotton slipcovers of Southwest colors with touches of navy and green ( sky and pinon or cedar colors). What do you suggest to tie it all together? i do have a medium-size . (less than 9 -by -12) Oriental carpet in the same colors. Other items in the room are a brown leather chair, plants in baskets or terra cotta con- tainers, and a marble -topped bench between two chairs. What about a coffee table? At present i am using a pair of square bunching ta- bles.—J. B. • A. Your collection of In- dian crafts sounds wonder- ful, and I admire your efforts, to keep your home from looking too contrived. Museums are great for view- ' ing but not for living... I don't feel you need any- thing to tie your room to- gether — careful placement of fine accessories combined with solid colored cotton up- holstered furniture ought to be adequate. • Indian art is highly dra- matic in color ,and design and generally commands much of the attention in.a room, complemented by a plain background such as off-white plaster, wood and unglazed tile. Use your Oriental rug ifit Tooks we1T with your Indian art. The rug may, however, if it is a finely crafted Oriental with an intricate pattern, be far more formal than the other elements in the room. You might find that a Navajo rug would look better irr-your living -mum and the Oriental would be enhanced in your bedroom where you might tend to- ward more formal decorat- ing. There really aren't any hard and fast rules to go by, and you should follow your instincts — what you like, you should use. About your coffee table, what about a plain metal frame for the base topped by a large slab of glass? This would allow you' to appreci- ate the rug beneath. Glass also takes up little visual space. You might place your new drum under your glass_ table i depending on the table base) to enjoy the drum visually and protect it some- what. The glass top would give you a terrific contract of .;,interesting .materials which makes for pleasing results, Q. My bedroom is very small. i need some ideas to make it look bigger. i would like a neat, decora- tive room — no ruffles or frilly things. Bright colors are for me. Please suggest some ideas.—A.C. A. If you have a closet that could accommodate mirror- ed doors, that would be a ter- rific solution to expand the visual size of your bedroom. If that is not possible, consid- er a very large wall mirror somewhere in the room. Another space -expanding trick: Create a wall mural or install a ready-made wall covering mural. Choose the mural or wall covering care- Crossroads—Nov. 6, 1985—Page 9A The caves and caverns are at the crest of the Blue Mountain, the highest Point of the Niagara Escarpment. They were created during the glacial age and later formed a protective hide- away for the Hurons. You walk up a series of rustic -type steps to get to the caves. This limbers you up for what's ahead. You see such wonders as Fern Cavern. It's about 100 feet deep. In it grows many, many types off ferns, and moss — some not found any- where else in Ontario. Or you can walk through the Natural Refrigerator. From the bowels of the rocks comes a steady flow off cold air in summer, warm air in the winter. The constant temperature is 4 degrees cel- sius. • You wonder how such natural sculptures as Hang- ing Rock and Balancing Rock have withstood the ravages of time. And you can visualize Huron Chiefs meeting at the base of a huge pinnacle off rock called the Indian Council Chamber — millions of years old. The most interesting legend concerns a romantic but tragic incident that re- volves around Suicide Point — a deep, dangerous looking cavern. Indian folklore tells the story of a beautiful Indian maiden of the Huron nation who had the misfortune of meeting and falling in love with a brave of another tribe. The young men of her own tribe, in a fit of jealousy, am- bushed the maiden's lover. and threw him over the cliff to his death. Overcome with fully so you introduce lots of hriaht primary colors. Repeat the bold shades in tailored bedspreads, flat Roman shades. Contrast the colors with a bright white background — walls furni- • ture, etc. Use a sparing amount of furniture in the room and where possible take advant- age of the walls. For example, instead of a floor - standing modular wall system, consider wall -hung units or plain shelves. I managed to scramble around the Scenic Caves at Collinwood one late summer day. Well, I didn't exactly scramble. I moved with ap- propriate discretion around the gulleys and boulders. I don't think Champlain would have scrambled around much either when he first saw the caves in the 16th century. He likely let his men do the scrambling while he stopped to talk., to the Hurons to learn about the many myths and legends that surround the age-old caves. And I doubt if Champlain would try to crawl through the narrow cave called "Fat Man's Misery" From ' the pictures I've seen of him he'd have a serious problem. I thought about trying it. I sat down on a, nearby rock and thought about it care- fully. Then I made my decision. I gingerly made my way over the rocks, around to the exit, and watched a couple of little young tour guides struggle through while cameraman Terry Culbert took some shots as they squeezed out. If you've never heard of the caves you're not alone. Although they're considered one of Ontario's natural wonders, not too many people around the province seem to know about them. Nevertheless, about 100,000 tourists visit the caves every year, so they're not really a deep, dark cavernous secret. grief and sorrow, the maiden followed her lover over the cliff. That's the official story. But f like to think that at the moment of her death her spirit soared into the Infin- ite, where she rejoined her ' lover and they walked hand in hand till the end of time. I like that ending a lot better. \i, , Treat a Series of Windows With a Series of Sheer Tiebacks. Easy to make and easy to care for pocket headings can beused for both tiebacks and cafes.
