And they want it to be as modern,, pleasant and convenient as possible. Every kitchen should be divided. into three major "work centers," located in relation to- the sequence of work to be performed there, accordlit to Hot-point's- Kitchen Planning Service. The Major "work centers" are the refriger- ator center, the "Clean-Up" center and the cook-ing center. Ideally, the sequence of work In the kitchen moves from storage and mixing, on to preparing, then to cooking and serving and finally back to the sink for clean up. Planning continents Hotpoint kitchen plan- ners have these comments on each of the centers: Iteirtgeration: Obviously built around the refriger- -ger-, -this center should be located near the door where the supplies enter and should have sufficient drawer, shelf, and counter space to handle the nu- merous kitchen utensils, foodstuffs and small ap- pliances common in to- day's kitchen. There should be a min- imum of 15 inches of work counter at the opening side of the refrigerator — more, if possible. More efficiency . Today's modern side-by- side refrigerator-freezer combinations can be used more efficiently with work space on both sides of the appliance, which also al- lows both its doors to open to their stops. Clean-up "Clean-Up": This center handles chores performed in the kitchen during preparation of daily meals 'and the subsequent clean- up. It is best when it is located between the range and refrigerator, and should have at least 24 inches of counter space on each side of the sink — whether the sink is double- or single-bowl. Additional space In. addition to the dish- washer, space should also be planned to dispose of trash,-and to store deter- gent cleaning equipment and utensils. A tow-cost, highly effi- cient food waste disposer THIS MODERN "Clean-Up Center" features a dishwash-er, paste disposer, trash com-pactor, and double-howl sink. The design is by Hotpoint. is recommended to take care of most "wet" gar- bage, while a trash com- pactor is an effective means of handling solid non-grindable wastes such as milk containers, egg cartons, cereal boxes, bot- tles, and the like. Used together, a waste disposer and compactor can help provide a neater, cleaner kitchen. Cooking: The b9st loca- tion for the cooking center is near the dining room and breakfast areas. A counter at each side of the range is important for efficiency as well as safety. There should be a min- imum of 12 inches of counter at the side away from another major cen- ter, and 24 inches min- imum between the range and another major appli- ance or the sink. Storing essentials A large amount of stor- age also is required in this area for pots, pans, trays, - utensils, dry foods, and condiments. Most kitchens will con- tain one or more minor work centers, according to Hotpoint, so plans should" be well laid to make diem work best. Work centers A desk, or 'planning and message center, is an es- sential in today's modem kitchen. It can be as large as needed, or as small as an 8x10-inch shelf with telephone and recipe racks. If space permits, a bulletin board and inter- com can be included. These guidelines should help you plan the, best arrangement of work cen- ters in your new kitchen to fit your needs with the space available. If your bathroom is rather ,Arab, with old- fashioned fixtures and definitely in need of re-modelng, it is probably like Most, — about 5 feet by 8 feet in size. If so, you won't find too many, idea bathrooms advertisements or edito-rial this size to help you — most such baths are larger and your problem' will be to convert the ideas found in such large rooms down to fit your space. Therefore, • before you remove the first wall tile or start tearing up the floor covering,- take a few minutes to plan your bathroom remodeling. There are six basic ele-ments of better bathroom design for you to consider, according to Eljer Plumb-ingware, a leading manu-f a cturer - of plumbing products. 'Each is impor-: tant to total bathroom planning. • The basic plan of the bathroom must 'be a good one — one that will work even in the most restrict- ed space. In many cases you will be working• with all plumbing pipes placed on one wet wall. It will be most economical to take this arrangement and de- velop variety and design without a change in plumbing. However, to create the best plan for your bath- rooto you may find it nee- " essary to' change some fixture locations. If this is desired, by all means contact your plumbing contractor because proper installation and adhear- ence to plumbing codes are mandatory. • Choosing the right fixtures is very important because remodeling your bathroom is pointless if_ built around a poor choice of fixtures. Don't skim) on 'quality, not.. if you- want to be assured of satisfaction, performance and beauty in the years • ahead. Be sure you con- sider colored fixtures . . added spark for your bath at small added cost. • Adequate storage is so fundamental yet so often overlooked in the bath- room. Be sure you provide space to store towels, tis- sues, cleansing materials, cosmetics, etc. . . . and storage' space is probably more important in a-small bathroom than in a large one. ▪ Lighting must be ade- quate for proper applica- tion of cosmetics, shaving, and believe it or not, read- ing. Let's face it, everyone needs a morale booSt when they first get up in the morning — and warm lighting in the bathroom can at least make you look much bettor than you feel. ,• Adequate ventilation is-an item easily overlook- ed inbathroom remodeling. Ventilation -can do more . than just make the bath- room smell fresh — it can help keep it clean, warm, remove excess moisture and help control .mildew. • Every homeowner should have a bathroom that's easy to maintain. Begin by: choosing quality fixtures, with finishes of glass-hard vitreous china The absence of farmstean shelteikpits on a majority of the farms makes an impression. The great, 'old farm homes look so stark with very few trees planted around them. How miserable it must be in 'the winter with the wind -howling and snow drifting through the yard. How attractive and cozy many of these fine old homes could be with a good shelterbelt planted around them.. Well-tended shelterbelts have many advantages - such as increasing the property v4ue, reducing soil erosion, providing protection for livestock. However, when one stops to consider what it must cost to heat' a large stone house in the winter, the advantage of a shelterbelt really becomes obvious. This is especially true today and in the future as the cost of heating fuels continues to rise, and predictions indicate that it will continue to do so. Why 'were shelterbelts -not planted in Ontario? One thing that is obvi is that while tenperatur= are milder in southetn Ontario the winds can be just as cold and penetrating as in the west. The author, having lived in a home completely surrounded by a thick grove of cedar and pine, which was heated for one-third less the cost of the other homes on the farrri, is convinced that every farm in Ontario could benefit from a farmstead shelterbelt. The Ontario , Government through the Ministry of Natural Resources provides trees :for this purpose from their tree nurseries loCated throughout the province at - a cost that is extremely. reasonable. They also publish a bulletin "The Farm Shelterbflt" which outli nes the mechanics of locating and planting shelterbelts. If the cost of heating your farm home is rising you would be well advised to consider a shelterbelt. It will take a few years to notice the savings, but who knows?
