To provide inaximnin pro-
tection, fire and smoke de-
tectors must be installed in
the. right , locations in . your
home, says a major manufac-
turer of the safety devices.
For basic protection, ac-
cording to Honeywell, a
smoke detector should be I
placed -betWeen each sleep- '
mg area and the Test of the
house. This might be at the"'
head of the stairway leading
to bedrooms in a two-story
house, or in a hallway 'of a
rand' house, apartment or
mobile home.
A, multi-level home should,
be egnipped with a smoke de-
tector on each additional,
level—including the
basement.--for the minimum,
of recomniended protection.
• The best .fire-safety mea-
sure, is to add detectors to liv-
ing and family rooms, as well
as workshops, utility and
furnace rodms: As a final,
snlety measure, pUt one inc'
every smoker's bedroom.
The unit is attached to wall Or
ceiling with the screws and
anchors provided.' Next the
battery is connected and
clipped into the detector.
When the cover-is snapped
oh the detector is set to give

Louver doors .

Improve
any room
If high 'costs are forcing
yOu to think twice about 'ex-
pensive remodeling projects ,
like beautifying a room—
reconsider. You can improve
the appearance of virtually
any room inexpensively with
louver doors.
For that closet you've al-
ways been meaning to do
something about, consider
the installation of • folding or
sliding wood louver doors as
a do-it-yourself project. They
are' available at local home
centers or building supply
stores in Stock sizes and
conie with special tracks and
hardware for easy installa-
tion and operation.
A skilled handyman ought
to be able to install them in a
matter of hours.
Wood louver doors are ap-
propriate for, •virtually any
interior design from Colonial
to modern, because of their
' distinctive "textured" ap-
pearance, which adds,dimen,
sign to otherwise flat wall
surfaces.
Besides their good looks,
louver doors have a number
of practical advantages for
closets. Since they either fold
back against each other, or
slide 'open and closed, they
can be used in areas with lit-
tle floor elearanrp
The louvers also permit the
free flow of air to prevent
mildew and keep clothes
fresh. '
Sliding or folding louver
doors come either full lou-
vered or with louvers in the
top half and 'solid wood
panelsin the 'bottom half.
They can be painted to
match or contrast with th
room colors, or' simpf
stained or varnished to high-
light the rich, natural grain of
the wood.
