I too, have to pay 32 cents for a stamp, and my budget for stamps is limited. Have you ever wondered how the astronauts keep everything in place when they are in a weightless state? On the last mission there were four astronauts living in a compartment the size of -a one room apart- ment, and in order to help them recognize their per- sonal hygiene items as well as equipment, helmets, tools, instruments and food packages, the NASA engin- eers devised a color code us- ing Velcro tape fasteners for easy recognition. A small quarter -inch patch of Velcro hook tape is at- tached to everything the astronauts use. Not only does the color patch tell the astro- nautotthat he has his assigned item, the small Velcro colored patch allows the item to be stuck on corres- ponding pile tapes placed throughout the cabin to keep each piece of equipment sta- tionary so it will not float in gravity free space. Food packages are made up to each astronaut's own personal menu, so if one likes peanut butter sand- wiches, while another astro- naut can't stand them, he had better stick to his Velcro color coded sandwiches. Mothers with small child- ren could find this idea use- ful to keep toys, tooth brushes and such items easily identified. Each of the returning. Shuttle astronauts have come back to tell the training crew, -"You need -more Vel= cro. "' There just doesn't seem to be enough to hold things down. Columbia, in the cabin and payload areas, had more than 35,000 square inches of Velcro tape fasteners aboard. In addition, there was about two yards of the all metal Hi -Garde tapes to secure a thermal blanket around the spacecraft's roc- ket engines. If you haven't used Velcro for children's clothing, or for the handicapped, it has a million and one uses.

A woven texture in the wallcovering and woven blind is complemented in the smoothness of glass, chrome and rust velvet fabric on the chairs. Rust and a bit of blue in the striped rug repeat the rich color scheme of this setting created by designer Bob Schaffer. Furniture is by Chromcraft and waiicovering is by Nils Anderson. Score By BARBARA HARTUNG A dining area with personality Q. I'm living in my first apartment and need help in creating a contemporary but warm dining room in a 13 -foot -square space at the end of the living room. 1 don't particularly want a space divider because the entire room is not large, yet I would like the space to function as a dining area. — R.B. A. One possible idea is to use a large rug under your dining table. Even over carpet, a flat weave rug can function fine. Choose a style and design that blends with your overall living room scheme and has a pleasant blending of colors: A rug takes up no physical space but can add a dramatic touch in design and color. Select a contemporary dining set — perhaps a glass -top table that usually takes less space than a wooden one with com- fortable chairs that can function as occasional chairs as well. Be certain the chair and back uphol- stery blends with the living room — or better yet repeats a major color in your living room. For a warm. inviting look in both your living room and dining space, consider natural colors of the palette — browns, mus- tards, rusts, soft oranges, tans and beige. Tweeds, stripes, and fiorals in these tones in your .living room could be repeated in the dining space. Q. I have often seen in magazines pictures of in- teresting home walls that are two-tone and painted. The look is a sort of stripe effect in the paint. How is this effect creat- ed? I have a guest room - den where I think these kind of walls would be just great. — M.V. A. The effect you de- scribe sounds like dragging or combing. Dragging will produce a less precise striped effect than comb- ing but you should experi- ment with both to see what suits you. Try on large boards first to find just what you want. For either, you start with a good coat or two to cover the walls as a base. -The base coat must be dry. For dragging you dip a brush into a contrasting color of paint and with an almost dry brush, drag the brush down or across the wall. This will give you a see-through effect. More paint on the brush will ob- viously give a heavier ef- fect. - RETURN WITH US TO... ell wT, 7• cludf caNOVa THE "QUEEN OF THE HILLBILLIES" HAD BEEN IN Mr)VIES AND r) 4 STAGE BEFORE COMING TO RADIO 7'15 •TUQY CANC)vA SHOW WAS AIRED OVER CBS 10 1945 ANn 1 ATER MOvED TO NBC TO BECOME A SATt_1RC'A, NIAHT FIXTURE JUDY STARTED OUT IN RADIO AS PART' OF THE CANr,VAS A mil l Bit LY AC 1 WRH HER SISTER ANNIE ANT) BROTHER "EKE Rue PANDRIOGE FLAYED JUDY'S m' 1 MAID, rE RANIIIM AMONG OTHERS o ON THE SHOW WE37"E'' E GALE SOROCIN, .1/ 'HFI DON LEONARD vfRNA FELTON 41111 BANS CONR5O.

Then while wet, you drag a steel, rubber or metal comb through the wet top coat. You can vary the look b_ y the thickness_.of_ the teeth of the comb. Fascinating effects can be created. For example, any color on top of an off- white base coat can be in- teresting or try red over gold for an Oriental touch. Q. I am converting a small den into a home off- ice and plan to wood panel the walls in a very pretty simulated teakwood. I think this will give me a rich feeling although I am concerned about the dark finish of the wood and what it will do to the room to make it seem even smaller. Do you have any ideas? A. I recently saw an idea that might help you. The room was exceedingly pleasant. The home owners had paneled wide sections of the ,wall in wood, then added slim strips of mir- ror, about 10 inches wide, then another panel of wood and another strip of mir- ror. The reflective quality of the mirror complemented the wood and gave the room an overall lift — with a crisp contemporary feel- ing.
