Blinds are easily pulled up, providing easy access to shelves, but can be closed off when desired. Blinds are by Bali. Blinds camouflage open cabinets By BARBARA HARTUNG Q. We recently remod- eled our kitchen and added new base cabinets and upper shelves (instead of closed cabinets). 1 thought the open shelves were a good idea at the time and I, still like them for every day. How- gver, our kitchen opens_ into an informal dining room. This means when we entertain the kitchen is dis- tracting. I don't want to add new upper cabinets. Do you have a solution short of that? - R.N.V. A. Have you considered blinds for your shelves. I've recently seen this done and it can be effective. You could attach thin mini -venetian blinds to the ceiling or soffit in your room ' over the shelves. Keep the blinds pulled up for everyday use to expose the shelves. When you en- tertain drop the blinds. This same technique is most effective for closing off a portion of a room or even obscuring one wall that is perhaps used as a home office. In your kitchen you can do interesting color designs to add drama. For exam- ple, you could order your blinds in a combination of colors, colors you might choose to repeat in your dining room. Q. I have moved from a small rented apartment to a larger condo. Just before moving I bought a plain lime green rug for my bedroom which was much smaller than my new one. I still like the color because my spread is also new and in matching shades of lime, deep pink and turquoise on a gray background. I have tried to use the rug in other rooms in my condo bat it seems not to have a place except in the bedroom. Do you have any ideas? - M.V. A. Go back to the shop where you bought your rug and see if you can find car- peting that you like in someofthe other colors in the room. Have the store cut strips of the other car- peting and bind the strips to your existing rug to en- large it to the desired size. Let's say your lime rug is expanded by an 8 -inch strip of turquoise and a 12 - inch strip of gray to tie your color scheme togeth- er. Or be bold and use a strip of turquoise and deep pink. Any of the combina- tions from your bedspread could be handsome. This is a great technique that can also be used when you want to lengthen dra- peries after a move from one house to another. Sim- ply add bands of color or another interesting fabric. Q. My office which 1 have just moved into has pale gray -beige wails and gray commercial carpet- ing with dark, deep blue squares. I like lots of plants and will add life to the office in this manner. However, I'm wondering what type of office furniture would be pleasant and if I might in- troduce a bit more color here or there. I like mod- ern, clean lines. The gray walls seem a bit overpowering because there is so ,much gray. - P.B. A. To lighten things some, why don't you choose a desk or other wood furni- ture in light oak with an oiled finish that is practi- cal in an office. Choose chrome and oak chairs for a light look. Introduce a brilliant blue to your color scheme through chair upholstery. Painting one wall of your office in the bright blue would be attractive, leav- ing the remaining ones gray. This should give you a lively environment, yet one that is definitely business- like. Battleship never fired a shot in anger H.M.S. Warrior, the world's first iron -built, iron -clad battleship, is being restored in England. Launched in 1860,, the War- rior was steam -powered but carried sails on three masts, was armed with 26 muzzleloaders and 10 breechholders and at the time was the world's most powerful warship. But in her 27 -year career she never fired a shot in anger. Bird bit 218 mph A swift was once clocked at 218 mph, but assisting factors such as tailwinds were not noted. Some more reliable speed records are a flock of plovers at 110 mph, a golden eagle under attack at 120 mph, a falcon in a power dive at 170 mph. a vl© ODo a 3.1.5 v©l]d 1ki3U a03113 MEUL 5 oEii31©017[][] 3 4 noon O ItUL 6 7 a33pp a..Lnd 9 10 3 0 o 3 S S V d©©fig ..

The Mount Forest Confederate 323-1550 The Milverton Sun 595-8921 Elmira and District News Kim Dadson They saga of Kenny Rogers By ROBIN WELLES HOLLYWOOD - Must be nice, you say, to have the talent to produce seven platipum (million -selling) albums in a row. Well, that's a poor way to put it. Kenny Rogers has the talent to do just that, all right, but then he's had that talent for years and years and it wasn't until he was nearly 40 that he real- ly made it big. And when you're a sing- er at that age, you really hear the footsteps of other, younger singers coming on. Kenny has made mil- lions, or maybe billions, now -- but in 1956 he made a grand total of $13 for a singing job at an Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas. He drifted through the '60s as a pop singer until 1966 when he latched onto the New Christy Minstrels. He was relatively pros- perous with that group, but the Minstrels later dis- banded and Kenny found himself on his own. What to do, at 38? For two decades he had worked in jazz (playing bass for the Bobby Doyle jazz trio at one point for more than six years), folk and rock. Well, Kenny's daddy used to play fiddle - so maybe the son should give Country -Western mine a whirl. He looked up country producer Larry Butler and the two of them put togeth- er Kenny's first solo coun- try album, "Love Lifted :.e." In the movies the LP would have made Kenny a . smash success. But it __didn't. _ _ ._.-. The next- album was - "Kennyogers "". And- oto this LP was a tricky little song called "Lucille" about C R 0 s s W O R D S ACROSS 1. Fleeting fashion 4. Appends 8.

But not what you could call OVER- NIGHT success. For Kenny Rogers, it was a long, hard grind. He earned that $14.5 million Beverly Hills home he lives in with his wife Marianne and year-old son Christopher. Rogers will probably make enough on his latest Liberty -Capitol album, ti- tled "We've Got Tonight"' to add a few wings to the old mansion. Like the man, it's a winner.
