Tips on Pictures
There was a time when strict
rules governed your choice of
pictures and appropriate frames.
Today, those rules are nothing
more than suggestions or guide
lines to the all-important
selection of what you like.
Don’t be uptight about buying
or framing pictures. Mrs. Helen
Puskar, Penn State Extension
home furnishings specialists,
says there are a few tips on
framing and pictures which could
help
When you select frames,
remember that a frame enhances
a picture and separates it from
its surroundings Select a color
for the frame that is a shade
slightly lighter than the darkest
color in the picture
Since they can be cleaned,
frame original oil paintings
without glass Keep other works
of art which can’t be washed or
cleaned under glass for
protection against dust and at
mospheric changes
Mats make small pictures look
more important and serve to lead
An amazing feed that has cured hundreds of
horses afflicted with heaves. No longer is there
any need to destroy or lose valuable horses
that show symptoms of heaves.

the eye gradually into the pic
ture. As a general rule, mats
should not be less than two-and
one-half inches at the top and
sides, nor less than three-inches
at the bottom. Mats can be tinted
to pick up a color in the picture.
And textured or patterned mats
can be used with prints having
clean, sharp lines and colors.
There are no set rules on where
to hang the framed picture.
Combine any number of pictures
in a variety of sizes, shapes and
frame styles, as long as all of
them compose a shape-usually a
square, a circle, or a rectangle,
that pleases you.
In hanging a picture, a good
rule of thumb for a single picture
is to hang it with its center just
about eye level with a person of
average height For a group of
pictures, choose a central picture
as the key. But, before attaching
them to the wall, lay them on a
flat surface Move them about

Ibox Improvement Week
Ma
"Mailbox Improvement
Week”, a traditional observance
which contributes nationally to
environmental quality, will be
observed May 15-20.
For many years, the start of
Mailbox Improvement Week has
served as a signal for special
community efforts to encourage
repairing, painting, identifying,
and other improvements in the
security and appearance of about
18.5 million rural and suburban
curbline-type boxes.
The observance helps in
promoting the security of mail as
well as in contributing to the
appearance of the boxes, which
may often be damaged by the
previous winter’s weather.
wall needs a large picture or
grouping. A narrow place will
hold a vertical picture A wide
area needs a horizontal piece of
art And a very small picture
should be placed in a very small
area Or, you could use it in a
grouping of pictures to increase

Fix-It Tip
The filter on your air con
ditioner serves the purpose
of keeping dust and dirt off
the coils and other parts of
the unit. This is a mixed
blessing because as the filter
fills up with dirt it cuts down
on the air that enters the air
conditioner. Dirt also causes
the refrigeration unit to be
come overloaded as the air
flow is cut down.
Cleaning is an absolute
must to keep the air condi
tioner working properly. In
spect the filters at least once
a month, more often under
very dusty conditions.

“Mailbox Improvement Week”
has been observed for
generations, particularly in rural
areas and small communities.
The effort is still especially
important for rural delivery
areas because more Americans
receive their mail today on rural
routes than ever before.
The typical rural mailbox
today is a far cry from im
provised receptacles used by
country dwellers in the early
years of rural service, starting in
1896, when old tin cans nailed to
trees were early favorites. Today
