Interior decorations, like wear- ing apparel or conversation, say many things about the poeple living in the home. One must be resourceful as well as diligent to making a complimentary state- ment. As an interior decorator, I planning of the home must go well beyond selecting indivi- dually attractive items for that home, or even beyond carefully coordinating pieces to form a pleasing setting. The creative challenge is to work with people and to bring their own indivi- duality into the decor, thus making their homes extensions of their personalities, rather than merely places to live. Having your home reflect the personalities of your family does not mean that you must be confined to a particular furni- ture period or decorating style. Naturally, no one is suited to every type of furnishing, but by using your complimentary and supplementary articles such as books, paintings. gifts, and souvenirs, your home can create the desired impression through one or more of the many available possibilities. Furthermore, it is not nece- ssary to do an entire home in only one period. Eclectic fur- nishing, (i.e., mixed periods of furniture within the same room), when carefully coordin- aled, creales interesting and unique effects. In further editions this column will deal with a variety of subjects including current trends, use of color, furniture arrangements, and answering questions from readers that could be helpful to others. The object of this column is to be of as much assistance as possible, therefore, your questions will guide its future directions. If you have any questions about decorating, please send them to Susan Sternfeld, in care of this paper. Economics of time and space make it impossible to personally reply to all ques- tions; however, as many as possible will be answered in forthcoming issues. M.B.

Supervision Needed For Some Toys--Wise selection of toys is not enough to insure safety, cautions the Cooperative Ex- tension Service Farm and Home Safety Committee of The Pennsylvania State University. Some adult supervision may be very important. For example, an air rifle, archery set, dart game, sharp knife or chemistry set, may become dangerous in the hands of a child too young to understand the hazards in- volved. The committee suggests that even an older child should have adult supervision when playing with this type of equipment. 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. 717/693-3415 NEW GIFT IDEAS FOR DAD Character 20, Jugs at ead AE These collector’s items are beautifully finished in detail and hand painted in the traditional Royal Doulton manner.
