July 2 Sears your money's worth ... and more Did You Know A living fossil By PHYLLIS WEAVER Did you know that the opossum is a living fossil? About 70 million years ago opossumlike mammals lived along with giant dinosaurs. These animals were proba- bly the generalized ancestor of the whole marsupial group of animals who carry their young in a pouch on the abdomen. Their descendants evolved in different forms, as they adapted to their par- ticular environment. But one group has changed very little. The American opos- sum is almost the exact re- plica of its ancestors. The opossum has a prehensile tail, to grasp. And when a light is flashed at him, the opossum be- comes so frightened, it faints and appears to be dead! Opossums are useful to man because they kill rats, mice and cockroaches. But an opossum becomes a nusi- ance when the diet includes eggs and chickens. The female has about 20 young once a year, but cannot feed them all, so some die. When the young are strong enough, they crawl from the pouch and cling to their mother's back till they're on their own. $75. worth of wool and yarn FREE with the purchase of a SINGER KNITTING MACHINE Sale starts Wednesday, June 29. Ends July 9 SINGER SEWING CENTRE CONESTOGA MALL, WATERLOO. 884-6981 New colors add life Q. I'd like to update noy living room which has traditional furniture ht dark wood tones of cherry and mahogany. I want to reupholster my sofa, a pair of lounge chairs and an oc- casional chair with wood trim. The only thing that I want to keep is pale -gold carpeting. I have had a gold and green color scheme but I want to change that. Also, I am tired of heavy draw dra- peries and want a change but I do have a need for complete privacy at night in this room. Please help me create some personali- ty in this room. - L.D. A. The color scheme of blue, gold and rust in a room created by designer Shirley Regendahl might inspire you. She selected ecru carpet- ing for cherry furnishings from the 1700s. Her fabric selection was a blue and rust glazed -cotton print which she used for a sofa and matching chairs. The same print was used for tieback curtains at the windows complemented by window shades with lami- nated fabric to match. This type of window treatment would give you privacy at night but plenty of light by day if the shades were pulled up. Regendahl's room vias large and accommodated a second sofa which she cov- ered in a bright -blue vel- vet. The blue velvet might be nice on your occasional chair. Or if you dislike vel- vet, try a textured wool in a solid to pick up one of the colors in your print. Your walls could be a soft rust, a soft blue or even covered in the print fabric if you desired. Q. I am moving into a new condominium in a large city. Three walls of the living room look out on a gorgeous view of the city. Vertical off-white blinds are at the windows and gray carpeting is through- out. What would be a very rich and slightly restrained -color scheme for my room? I will be buying fur- niture and have some dark mahogany wood pieces. - P.N. A. One very elegant color scheme starting with gray carpeting and off- white blinds might be deep forest green and a rich wine. For example, you might select a wine sofa, a pair of small forest green chairs and an occasional chair in a print - perhaps a floral, a stripe or even a flame stitch in green, wine and gray. Accessorize with lighter shades of green and pale pinks for contrast. Q.

I want to start in my kitchen -family room. Please give me some ideas on how to create this kind of feeling. - C.B. A. First, I suggest you go to the library and check out books on the history of interior design and look for French farmhouses of the 1700s and 1800s. You may not want to repeat the drawings or photos in your own home but it will begin to give you a feeling for the style. Some of this charm is created through the inter- esting use of materials. For example, walls can simply be plastered or more heavily textured if you wish. Floors might be brick or tile or simulated designs executed today in vinyl. A fireplace is often a focal point in such a room as you describe. Plan some cooking vessels for around your fireplace 'and top the mantle with 'a selection of hand -painted pottery. Or if you wish to go to the expense, you could, perhaps, give a plain fire- place a French flair with a new facing. Check maga- zines for French fireplace designs. Nearly every French country home had a large cupboard, an element you might want to repeat. Black wrought iron and candles were frequently used in chandeliers, al- though you'll probably want a chandelier with electrified candles. Choose a rich wood table and comfortable dining chairs for an informal din- ing space. Furnish the room with a small sofa, perhaps cov- ered in a. perky blue. and white check fabric repeat- ed in thin cushions for the dining chairs. Repeat the blue and white at the win- dows for simple curtains. Accessorize with baskets and other country accesso- ries. 0000 OCU DAB© MEMO ©O© OBOE 00O0 0©BuO©©i0 UUUW 000© EOE 30© MOUE ©©OO ©©©©D00 EMCEE O00 MUM 00D00 OBEMBO0 ©o©a v©©D COE 0017 ©DOO DOME 001000000 BMOC 0000 000 0000 0000 00€ 0©O© The flight of 342 miles from Winnipeg to Regina was made in three and a half hours and the plane was forced down twice as the pilot, W.

It was in 105 A.D. that a Chinese priest Tsai-Lun was using the first real paper made from linen fibres to in- scribe their ancient prayers. Prior to that the ancient Egytians had used the un- rolled stem of the papyrus reed which grows abundant- ly by the Nile, and before that the Greeks used either earthenware tablets, palm leaves, the bark of trees or even thin sheets of lead on which to record important events. The art of paper making was brought to the Western world by the trading Arabs. The long caravans crossed the Middle East and North Africa carrying with them the culture of the ancient world, which was brought to Europe as much by the Moors in Spain as by the Crusaders. The recipe for making paper was taken to France by three men who had escaped from Arab prisons. It was during the llth cen- tury that rag paper was first produced. A process of gradual improvements led to rag paper finally replacing both papyrus and parchment - (produced from animal skins) as a writing medium. By the 17th century, paper was available in various qualities, suitable for a range of uses. Wallpaper ,today with its purely decorative use, had very different beginnings. Its origins stem from the Middle Ages, when popular icons, called dominos, repre- senting the Almighty and the saints, were stuck onto the walls of lower-class dwel- lings in western Europe. There they performed a dou- ble function, being both a talisman against bad luck and a covering for the cracks and crevices in the wall it- self. The first reference to flocked wallpaper comes from a technical description Brussels sprouts By B. FRANCIS KLEIN Naturally yours. BRUS- SELS SPROUTS. Now here's a vegetable that is available at your market in fresh form for much of the year. It's a popular vegetable that looks and tastes much like a dain- ty cabbage. And no won- der- that's what brussels sprouts are. When you buy this item at your market, pick only the greenest ones in color. ... The yellowish ones are the older ones and are likely to be too strong or mature. Look for little worm holes - the inner core of the bud is a favorite hiding place for little bugs. To be sure there are no visitors inside the brussels sprouts, slice them in half, wash well, and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes in boiling water, with a dash of baking soda in the water.. They will stay nice and green and won't give your kitchen the odor of cooking cabbage. Brussels sprouts are just great when they are cooked with large sliced chunks of celery. Brussels sprouts - natu- rally yours. Talk dated 1470 and found in the Monestary of St. Catherine in Nuremberg, Germany. And of course we are all fa- miliar with the Victorian wallpapers featuring roses and cupids, often referred to as the golden age of wall- paper. Today we have every con- ceivable type, from metal- lics to bamboo, scenes from mountain lakes to cool for- ests, an ancient art which has come a long way from its humble beginnings. 0-0-0 Summer caps, so 'easy and quick to crochet you will no doubt want to make more than one.
