Since furniture, carpet and paint are basic home furnishing items, let’s take a look at what’s up and coming in these areas. Distinctive Designs - Once the most popular style of furniture, Mediterranean is losing popularity. The next few years will find on the market more modern styles with clean, sharp and defined lines. Good con temporary upholstered items are also in demand. Combining different styles to achieve the eclectic look allows individuals the opportunity to accumulate furnishings as their needs and incomes fluctuate as well as create a personalized home environment. With ecology in mind, there is a move to lighter wood tones that can be blended with othefhome furnishing items in a wide range of colors. Many designers are offering styles and designs that are compatible in small apartments and homes. Carpet Changes - Shorter, denser carpet styles will be more in demand as the long, thin shags move out. Preoccupation with ecology problems are bringing into demand earth and natural tones with brown and rust the most popular carpet colors. The next few years will see a marked increase in patterned and printed carpet because of its versatility and low cost. For the same reasons, 65 percent of the carpet manufactured in the United States today is nylon. Wall Basics - The off-white shades of paint are still most popular because they provide a subtle background for bright furnishings or one accent wall that is painted, papered or paneled in a contrasting color. Gray may replace the basic off white in the future. Today’s popular secondary colors include yellow, green and small amounts of lavender. Uniform Meat Identity Labels Selecting meat cuts should be a little easier in the future. The meat industry launched a new standardized identification meat labeling program in September. The program is voluntary so it might not be available in all stores. Basically uniform labeling will provide more information than in the past and reduce the confusing variety of names for the same cut. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 3,1973—27 Horse Classes Open, Close International Livestock Expo Horse events dominate the activities - morning, noon and night - during the six days and nights of the 17th Keystone In ternational Livestock Exposition opening Thursday, November 8, at the Farm Show. Horse classes are the only species scheduled for the opening and closing days of the Keystone International with judging in sheep, swine and beef cattle squeezed into the middle four days of the program. Opening event is the big Pennsylvania State 4-H Horse Show with some 419 horses and their handlers scheduled to put their animals through their paces in 28 different classes that begin at noon on Thursday, Nov. 8, and continue until late Friday night in the main arena. The entries represent the top five percent of some 8,351 4-H Horse and Pony Club members statewide with clubs in each of the 67 counties. It is the largest 4- H activity in the Commonwealth and Pennsylvania ranks among the leaders, nationally, in 4-H Horse and Pony participation. Contestants will be drawn from the first and second-place win ners at each of the 10 district qualifying shows. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will see the three open horse shows with Quarter horses, Arabians and Appaloosas, in that order. The morning and af ternoon of the open shows is devoted to halter classes, that is, the horses alone are judged for types and conformation. During the performance classes it’s a combination of horse and rider as the animals are put through a Under the new uniform method, the label will show, first, the species of meat-whether it is beef, veal, pork or lamb. Second, the area from which the retail cut was derived such as the chuck, rib, loin or round in beef will be shown. Finally, the recom mended retail name will appear on the label. So, instead of puzzling over a Delmonico, Spencer or Beauty steak, the label will read; Beef- Rib-Eye Steak. variety of gaits in both English and western tack. The performance classes for all three breeds this year will not be strictly an evening affair. They will begin from a half-hour to an hour following the finish of the halter classes whenever that might be. Certainly all three open shows will run well into the early evening hours. One other horse event is scheduled for Saturday, November 10, the Northeast Regional 4-H and Intercollegiate Horse Judging Contest. Seven teen state champion 4-H teams from as many states competed last year and at least that many are expected to return for the sixth annual renewal of this event in 1973. This is just the second year for the intercollegiate division which had ten teams from seven states at the inaugural contest in 1972. Few Marriages?
