CASUAL DINING -A wall system and casual dining furniture combine with
tropical accessories in this family room adjoining a kitchen. Flooring, a rotovinyl
simulating wood, is by Armstrong.
Creative blending
gives pleasant look
By Barbara Hartung
Q. We have recently re-
moved the wall between our
kitchen and den to have a
comfortable seating and din-
ing area just off our kitchen.
I want to redecorate my
kitchen now to blend this new
space and the kitchen to-
gether. Please suggest some
-ideas CSI
A. Treating the floor in the
same manner will tie the
rooms together. An attrac-
tive new. vinyl floor covering
will freshen the space im-
mediately.
Consider your kitchen
cabinets. Do you like them?
And are they in good shape?
If so, consider repeating the
feeling and design and finish

get help in co-ordinating pur-
chases for this new house -
furniture, wall hangings and
other basics from the bottom
up.
I fear that we would buy
things piecemeal that would

wasting the money we will

Any suggest10
preciated.-P.G. •
A. I'd -suggest three op-
tions. .. , ---. . ,
First, you might look in the
Yellow Pages of your tele-
phone book under interior
design. There you will find a
listing of professional inter-
ior designers.
Call several and discuss
over the phone whether they
do residential interior design
work and on what basis.you
might obtain their services.
Some work on a fee basis,
others on a special arrange-
ment whereby you agree to
buy through them, and some
are with the design studios of •
department stores.
Another option is to inquire
at your favorite furniture
shop or furniture depart-
ment of a department store.
Often you can enlist the serv-
ices off a designer if you plan
to purchase through that
store.
And third, consider enroll-
ing in a class on interior de-
sign so you'll be exposed to
lots of good ideas and build
your confidence. You'll soon
know what you like and don't
like and why. This last option
is good even if you also
choose the first or second,
because furnishing a home
can be a continuing, evolving
experience for those who like
it.
A' Inst art
A rallying cry has been
sounded to urge°peoople to
rediscover what hat almost
become a lost art - the sat-
isfying enjoyment of good
conversation.
The basis of good conver-
stin is good manners - the
applicatin of considered
common sense in the ex-
change and sharing of ideas.
If you wish to communicate,
and to avoid pitfalls of irri-
tation without becoming a
bore, I offer you the follow-
ing tried and true methods
to enter the joy 9f conversa-
tion.
The first rule is most im-
portant. Do not center your
contribution on yourself,
your spouse, your home,
wealth or person. The easi-
est rock to hit in the stream
of conversation is our own
ego Stay on or near these
subjects and it is not a con-
versation, it is an ego recita-
tion.
Pick items which are ob-
jective, such as discoveries
in science, the arts, vital
world events, or sports and
allow sharing of conversa-
tion to take place.
Learn to keep quiet some
of the time, if not more.
Someone said, "Whenever
persons have neither the
good wit to speak well or the
God-given judgment as to
when they should keep quiet,
it is tragedy looking for a
place to happen.'
If you can tell a story
well, and there is laughter, it

is soul -satisfying. But to
dominate, a conversation.
Learn to speak and to listen
well.
Another undiscovred error
is the use of the conversation
stopper. The best stopper I
know' is: "You are wrong!"
Out of this comes either si-
lence, a change of sibject, or
degeneration into an emo-
tional argument. Instead,
use the phrases such as, "I
do not agree," or, "I do
agree," or, "Let me share
another thought with you
about that." Leave out of
your vocabulary those door -
slamming phrases . if you
wish to become a conversa-
tionalist.
There is a childish prac-
tice which shows up in con-
versation all too' often. We
see it on TV talk shows by
personalities who carry ti-
tles of respect in their field.
It is almost a social disease.
I am speaking of rude inter-
ruptions.
I try to give such persons
the benefit of the doubt. 1 try
to believe that their idea is
so powerful it compels them
to share it at that instant,
and they cannot help them-
selves. More offten than not,
the blunt truth . is that it is
childish, thoughtless and
plain rude.
Listen well. Prectice
thinking clearly. Be tuned to
the unfamiliar. Follow your
honest curiosity by inquiring
further about what a person
is saying. Read outside your
field. Try to understand
what is taking place in our
fast-moving culture and you
will not be a conversation
dropout.
Conversation can be the
greatest indoor sport and the
most fascinating experience
al all because it is great fun
and almost a lost art. Try it.

%v;
When I was a young man
and I had not yet learned
respect for my elders, I was
party to a dirty trick on an
old night editor I worked for.
His newspapering began in
the days of the telegraph,
and even into the 1950's, he
viewed telephones nervously
and with suspicion. He had
two of them on the desk in
front of him, side by side,
and one night, when he'd
gone to the washroom, we
switched the receivers on the
two phones, putting them in
the wrong cradles. The
phone would ring. He'd pick
up the appropriate receiver,
and would get nothing but
dial tone. The effect on him
-was all we'd hoped for, and
at the time it seemed a wel-
come diversion from an end-
less pile of obituaries.
Now that the technology of
my youth is obsolete and I
too have become fuddy-
duddy, bewildered by video
cassette recorders and even
stereo turntables, I wish I'd
;recognized the benefits of
"mercy earlier. I'm getting
what I deserve in spades. I
can't run anything anymore.
I begin to long for something,
anything, that works with a
simple on-off button.
One of the., banes of my
existence is those automatic
telephone answering ma-
chines. I gabble for a living,
but those merciless ma-
chines, with their 30 second
beeps, absolutely defeat me.
I can't remember who I am,
or what I'm calling about, or
my telephone number - not
in time for the machine to
record it anyway.
Now there has been an
improvement in the tele-
around the thumb and little
finger of the left hand about
25 times, being careful not to
stretch the wool as you are
winding,
Slip the wool from the
fingers, fold the loops in half
and loosely hold in the centre
of the left hand. Wind the
wool loosely over all fingers
and thumb again about 25
times. Slip from the fingers,
and again holliYosely in the
palm of the hand, so that the
winding can be done in the
opposite direction around the
ball being formed.
Continue winding wool,
changing direction about
every 25 turns until all the
skein is wound into a ball. If
the skein is very large, say
four ounces, then wind into
two balls. Your finished ball
should be big, light and soft
to touch.
I learned one trick from a
friend in South Carolina
while I was visiting with her.
If you want to use the wool
e _ from the centre of your ball;
at the very beginning when
you commence to wind, tuck
the beginning end under your
wench strap, then wind the
ball as I have described.
When the ball has been
wound, you can use the end
which was under the watch
strap, and so pull out the
wool from the centre of the "
ball. Quite a neat trick!

The other day I was watch-
ing a person winding wool
into a ball from a skein or
hank as we say in England.
She was winding so intently
and furiously, that I am sure
by the time she was finished,
she had a very small ,hard
ball of wool!
Though it seems so simple,
it needs care and attention.
Hand knitting wool is literal-
ly spun fibres of wool, and
care should be taken not to
crush or injure these ,fibres.
Between the fibres and' the
knitting, air pockets are
formed, which gives the
hand knitted garment its in-
sulation and warmth. Crush
these fibres in the winding
and you have lost a lot of the
appearance qualities of the
wool, plus others.
Open the skein of wool and
slip it over the back of a
chair'. Break and discard the
knotted piece which holds
the strands together, there
.may.,be..morr-e_than one,. Tai
one end of the wool and wind
it loosely in a figure of eight

phone answering machine.
It's a machine, already big
in the United States, which
actually calls people, puts a
question to them, and
records their replies, all un-
touched by human hands,
and computerized. They're
used in the States to collect
bills, sell carpet cleaning, or
remind people that „ the
church needs money.
Surprisingly, perhaps, I
know all about. them. We had
such a machine for a very
short time here at Global
Television a few years ago.
At the behest of its owner, we
used the thing to poll people
on the burning questions of
the day. As I recall, people
did not take to it kindly. We'd
listen to the tapes when the
machine had completed its
survey, and even when the
question was noncontro-
versial, the more innocent
among us learned some new
words.
But that was nothing to the
kind of response we got one
time when, unbeknownst to
us, the wretched machine
went berserk and began
phoning people in the middle
of the night. The next morn-
ing, the things we heard
about what we could do with
Global Television, yours
truly, and our stupid survey
were truly astounding. That
did it. We got rid of the thing
on the grounds that we were
learning more about what
people thought of us than we
really wanted to hear. And
we were losing viewers to
boot.
Progress is not always a
good thing. There's been far
too „much of it lately.
