HOME COLOR FORECAST
This year’s home fashion colors
are the pastels. They are soft and
relaxing, not too dusty, but
timeless. Forecasts indicate that
colors will be slightly greyed, but
on the whole, they will have more
life than the colors of the past year.
If any color will predominate, it
will be yellow. Various shades of
yellow, all mellow, are being used
in combination with blue, red, pink
and peach. The yellow influence
"has developed because of a
growing national interest in the
country lifestyle of the Middle and
Southwest. Earth tones of prairie
colors will be considerably
yellower. Also seen will be yellows
derived from an interest in solar
energy.
Certain colors like green will
have a yellow influence. Shades of
yellow include banana, as a true
yellow, and neutrals like butternut
and custard.
Other fashionable colors that
will appear often are various
shades of rose and Chinese
cucumber (celadon). Blues will
come in a variety of rich tones like
mountain blues, teal and corn
flower. Lavender blues and the
periwinkle reminiscent of Vic-
torian times will also make an
impact, especially in the dining
room, bedroom and bath. Also in
the bedroom will be shades of
English rose mingled with cran
berry.
Rooms in ’B3 will have' a
traditional look, and the kitchen
will be no exception. Gone are the
bold designs and colors that once
were fashionable. The kitchen will
now be decorated in muted tones,
especially sand, almond and white.
The lode will be traditional and
functional.
Home fashions for this year are
elegant and classis, and no one
color will overwhelm. Colors will

be used in combination for a muted
effect that will be easy to live with.
Accent colors will include blade,
silver, red and rich opulent colors.
But the basic trend for the coming
few years will continue to be soft
pastels.
CURING ALUMINUM BLUES
Aluminum storm windows and
doors do not need painting, but
they do need occasional care to
protect them from corrosion. Left
alone, they will eventually develop
a coat of white oxidation. They will
become pitted and grimy looking.
Prevent this unsightly condition by
scrubbing the aluminum with a
solution of detergent and warm
water. Protect the dean frames
with a coat of automobile wax.
If damage from oxidation and
pitting is already extensive,
scrubbing alone will hardly suf
fice. After cleaning the metal,
apply an aluminum polish to
remove excessive oxidation. In
cases of severe pitting, the only
effective cleaning process is bride
rubbing with fine steel or bronze
wool. Rub until the aluminum is
reasonably smooth and bright.
Then wash with detergent and
warm water. Dry and immediately
apply automobile wax.

One of Weaver’s great joys in life
is meeting people and talking with
friends, and he gets to do plenty of
both when he works at the
restaurant. He said they invite
comments from friends, because
they want to provide a service that
people can enjoy. “Service is very
important. We’ve come a long way
in that department,” Wilmer says.
The Weavers farm about 350
acres, and milk 100 Holsteins,
shipping their milk to Lehigh
Valley. When spring comes.
Weaver will get bade to the
business of fanning, doing the Held
work which he enjoys.
He feels the closeness of the
farm and the restaurant will be an
advantage. “For me it’s good. I
can be there if there are
problems.” He also has a two-way
radio in his truck which is effective
up to 50 miles, so be can always be
