Ecology Influences Home Furnishings Home furnishings are begin- ning to reflect our new interest in nature and ecology. Previews raw silk, nubby cottons and wools in “earth’” colors. The Better Floors Council thinks the perfect complement to furnishings made of these materials is a floor of vinyl as- bestos tile. Tile is made in re- plica of natural products-- pebble, marble, stone, traver- tine, slate, brick and wood--and is available in many neutral shades and lovely, soft pastels that are ideal for this latest de- corating fashion. Of course, if you want a floor covering to contrast with the other furnish- ings, resilient tile also comes in the color wheel. Other home decorating trends spotted recently include a marked Oriental influence in both design and color, lots of florals and smaller geometries. Texture is becoming creasingly important, and here again vinyl asbestos tile is ready with embossed patterns ranging from Moorish tile to brick to lace. ; As for the new color trends, you might watch the blues. Designers continue to flirt with this long-neglected color and it might well be the coming thing, supplanting greens and yellows in a few years.

The Gold Rush Is Chaplin Gem College Misericordia’s fall semester cultural film series will continue on Sept. 25 with the showing of the American film classic, The Gold Rush, starring Charlie Chaplin. The last silent film to be shown in the series, The Gold Rush will be shown at 7:30 p.m. in Walsh Auditorium. The film will be open to the public at no charge. Written and directed by Chaplin, The Gold Rush is con- sidered by him and most film critics to be his best work. The film centers on Chaplin’s ad- Alaska in search of gold but who finds hunger instead. One classic scene depicts Chaplin devouring a boiled shoe, rolling the laces as if they were spa- ghetti and sucking the nails as if they were bones. As the second presentation in the college’s fall semester series, The Gold Rush promises to be a memorable 81 minutes of entertainment. In the words of New York Times critic Mor- daunt Hall, ‘...it is the out- standing gem of all Chaplin’s pictures.” Accident-Prone People Share Characteristics It’s true; some people do have more than their share of ac- cidents, and it may be due to their psychological make-up. James Van Horn, Extension family life specialist at The Pennsylvania State University, says a group of California psychologists found that ac- cident-prone people tend to have one or more of these characteristics: Impulsive, emotionally un- stable, worried about health, energetic, aggressive, in- dependent, self-confident, unrealistic in thinking, un- conventional in behavior. They also found that the kitchen is the spot in the home where accident-prone persons have many mishaps. It’s difficult for a person to change his character, points out Van Horn, but he can recognize the tendencies that lead to accident-prone behavior. And he can adapt his environment-- his home--so that possible ac- cidents can be avoided. For an older person, to whom a fall can be- disastrous, adapting the environment means such things as: eliminating slippery throw rugs; making sure all kitchen utensils are within easy reach so there’s no need to climb; and keeping the house well-lighted at all times. The general rules of common- sense safety that apply to all of us are especially important for older persons who are accident- prone.
