For A Charming Modern Luncheon Set

tif in crochet, Here it is charmingly used in repeating circles for this

the design was first used. Crochet this heirloom design for your own
luncheon table, using white or ecru mercerized crochet cotton for a crisp,
firm finish and long wear. Directions for making this luncheon set may be
obtained by sending a stamped, self-addessed envelope to the Needlework
Department of this paper, specifying design No, 7335.

Shaveriown Man
Named Defendant
L. R. Major, Pioneer Avenue,
Shavertown, has been named de-
fendant in a Common Pleas Court
action started by Thomas Digun, Sr.,
of 19 Carroll street, Pittston, who
will attempt to collect $20,000 for
injuries allegedly suffered by his
son, Thomas, Jr., in an automobile
accident on July 14, 1940.
Attorney Albert Carozza, counsel
for Digun and his son, charged in
the statement of claim that Major
was operating his automobile at a
high, excessive, dangerous and un-
lawful speed when he ran into
Thomas Digun, Jr., on the Pittston-
West Pittston bridge, dragging the
victim 20 feet.
The elder Digun claimed $10,000
for himself because he has been
deprived of the services, earnings,
attention, comfort and society of
his son and averred permanent in-
juries would deprive him of these
advantages in the future and also
$10,000 for his son who, because of
his permanent injuries, will be “pre-
vented from attending his usual and
regular occupation or any occupa-
tion, affairs or duties.”
Defendant was given 15 days in
which to file an affidavit of defense.

How To Be Your
Own Decorator
Rooms For The Children
Children’s rooms should be given the thought they deserve. It is a mis-
take to use any old cast off furniture, pictures, etc in their rooms if you
can afford to do otherwise. It is in the early years that tastes are formed
and that habits begin so that there is a real psychological reason to give
them a room of their own which will appeal to their growing sense of or-
derliness, beauty and even ownership.
If you cannot buy new furniture there is much that can be done with a
motley collection of old to give it a sense of unity. It may be painted or
bleached, or in the case of old iron beds, durable denim slip covers may be
made for the head board, and the foot board can be dispensed with.
Everything in and about the room should be sturdy especially in boys
rooms, chests or cupboards should be provided for their toys. It is often a
simple matter to build them in, just shelves if need be, but at a convenient
height for the child himself. Or an old bookcase may be transformed to
serve such a purpose, and made to match the other pieces in the room.
Let’s think of a typical room. Solid wood such as. cherry, maple, birch
and bleached oak is being used for a straightforward type of furniture
which makes an excellent choice. For boys especially, but little girls
also, where space is limited, the double decker beds are good. It gives
the child a sense
of play as it is
something a little
different. I know
a family where
the boys take §
turns — a month
at a time — of
sleeping in the
| upper deck. It is
important both
for peace in the
family and for
the child himself
that he have his
own bureau, his
own chair and his
own desk, and
even when past the toy age, heshould have shelves or space
of his own for his “possessions” which may be anything from a fish hook
or skates to a collection of marbles. Of course snow shoes, skis and larger
sport equipment is best kept in special closet elsewhere. :
The question of separate closets for two children is often difficult, as
many a house just hasn't got two to a room. In that case a division of
space should be settled upon and each child must do his part in keeping
it orderly. To accomplish this, all the modern equipment of rods of various
sorts, clothes hangers, etc., should be used. I know of an untidy little girl
who was quite reformed by having a place for everything. What trouble
is saved a busy mother by instilling orderliness, only a busy mother
knows,
Floors may well be covered with linoleum with a warm rug by the beds
in the winter, the walls painted, or covered with waterproof material, so
that muddy foot prints and dirty finger marks are easily removed. Chil-
| dren should be children; in this room of their own they should be able to
play. Therefore a ceiling light is wise, although a desk light will be needed
as they get older. Have few ornaments, but by all means use wisely chosen
pictures.
Of course there is, and should be a difference in furnishing girls and
boys room€. Girls early show their love and preferences for color, and
“prettiness”’, while boys ‘don’t want to be bothered” with anything fussy
—and rightly so—but unconsciously appreciate comfort and convenience.
It was a boy’s recollections that went into the writing of “Home Sweet
Home”. Just as your home is your kingdom—so let children’s rooms be
their kingdoms. Consider their likes and dislikes, and then give them the
key to the city with rules to be kept.

Sincere Appreciation:
I want to thank the people of Kingston Township for
the wonderful showing they gave me on Tuesday.
Even though I was defeated, it was heartening to
know how loyally so many supported my candidacy. I
want always to merit that confidence.
