I've just moved into a new home and I have yet to pick out the carpeting. Do I have to have the: same color for the entire house? It is a three bedroom home. Mrs. D.M., Dallas Dear Mrs. D.M., The color of carpeting that you choose should blend with many colors since the same carpeting should extend into your livingroom, diningroom, (unless you have area rugs for those rooms). hallway, stairs and possibly the master-bed- room. The remaining bedrooms should have carpeting which blends nicely in color with the hallway. thus your home has a look of unity and thought. Dear Susat My livingroom is a very small room but I do want a coffee- table, but all the ones I've seen are either too large or too sma’ What can I do? Mrs. K. B., Shavertown The solution to your problem is to use (wo small clear tables approximately 30” each. Either two small plexiglass cubes if you have contemporary furni- ture or you may use {wo small - tables with glass tops. The small tables give the illusion of more floor space and less table and are also easier to move . when cleaning. Dear Susan, In our home we have no diningroom, so we must enter- tain in the kitchen. How can I make this area practical for everyday and still be attractive enough for entertaining? Mrs. M.J., Dallas Dear Mrs. M. J., On the market there are many dinette sets that are both attractive and practical. They have glass or Formica tops and vinyl chairs. The area can be papered in vinyl with matching draperies and curtains. The paper can be extended into the work area of the kitchen, or to set off the eating area, the work area can be painted in some of the wallpaper colors. The wall- paper should coordinate with the appliances. Before you start doing anything. you should first decide on the period of furniture you want in this area and then choose wallpaper and curtains accordingly. If you have any questions about decorating, please send them to this paper, in care of Susan Sternfeld. Economics of time and space make it impos- sible to-personally reply to all questions, however, as many as possible will be answered in forthcoming issues.

A space mission to Mars . . clean-up America . a new wing added to the New Yor a subway system for our Nation’ Capitol. These are just a few of man diverse goals Americans have al ready set for their Nation’s Bi- centennial. Three short years from this Fourth of July, the United States all corners of the Nation — will be celebrating the anniversary ot the unique American experience. Where will the real activity and commemoration take place? Who can participate? How will people be celebrating? Of course, there are no simple answers to these questions. The Bicentennial commemoration will be as diverse as the Nation and encompassing. as imaginations and aspirations of 210 million people. One thing is certain — the Bi- centennial will truly be something for everyone. It will be more than a giant fireworks display. It is a commemoration of ‘a National heritage with an aim to improve the quality of life for the future. This idea is embodied in a Na- tional Bicentennial theme — “A past to remember, A future: to mold.” The Bicentennial belongs to all Americans, not just those in the 13 Original States. Every village and city can celebrate. Plans and blue prints for unique local fes- tivities are already well developed. On the Fourth of July, 1972 President Nixon extended an un- precedented invitation to the world to visit America during the Bicentennial, In announcing the Invitation to the World, the Pres- ident stated that the Bicentennial was a time for America to say to the nations of the world, “You helpéd to make us what we are. Come and see what wonders your countrymen have worked in this new country of ours. Come and let us say thank you. Come and join in our celebration of a proud past. Come and share our dreams of a brighter future.” In conjunction with the Presi- dent’s invitation to foreign gov- ernments and visitors, a special “Invitation to the World Panel” serving the Bicentennial has adopted major travel and hospi- tality guidelines to facilitate Amer- ican and foreign travelers alike in 1976. The guidelines call for: Installations - of international roadsigns on ALL major road- ways in the U.S. by 1976. The encouragement of reduced passenger rates to specific Bi- centennial activity destinations and the development by July 1, 1973 of standards and criteria for Bicentennial tours. Publication of a communication aids including a booklet of hand signals; including a booklet of hand signals; institution of basic utility foreign language training courses; encouragement of for- eign language handbooks; and es- tablishment in all urban areas of information and referral centers. The extension of low-cost ac- commodations such as hostels and Y’s and expansion of camping fa- cilities. The general development of a wider variety of accommo- dations for the Bicentennial. The use by all Americans and foreign travelers of medical in- formation identity card containing an abbreviated medical history, and a program of temporary trav- elers aid and low-cost health in- surance. A campaign to encourage U.S. organizations with foreign affili- ations to extend invitations to their counterparts and to facili- tate their travel in the U.S. for the Bicentennial. With thousands of Bicentennial activities occurring throughout the nation in the next three years, the need for coordination of these projects and for a shared com- munications system has become imperative. To meet this demand the Bicentennial Commission hopes to employ a massive na- tional computer information sys- tem permitting remote access to reports of Bicentennial activities in every U.S. community. © By making available informa- tion concerning all Bicentennial activities wherever they occur the computer system will ensure that the general public as well as spec- ial interest groups will be kept in- formed. It will provide an over- view to all aspects of the cele- bration, ‘as well as easy access to information for groups with specific interests. ; But what about Mr. and Mrs. America and the two kids all packed in the family car or camp- er? What can tney see during their travels that relate to the Bi- centennial and to the rich heritage covering these past 200 years? The answer runs the gamut of their imaginations. Through one aspect of the Bicentennial, Festi- val USA, tourists are encouraged to see Americans do what they do, wherever they do it, and to par- ticipate wherever possible. They can visit a Spanish-American fes- tival in Southern Texas; an Old World Farm reproduction in Wis- consin or an International Film Festival in San Francisco. From the rocky coast of Maine to the Navajo Indian villages of Arizona the Bicentennial is burst- ing with festivals and Americans celebrating life in a multitude of diverse traditions. Inevitably, the big urban cen- ters of the East that played a major role during. America’s early history will play a major role in the Bicentennial as well. Philadelphia will have several fo- cal points, including Indepen- dence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Among the city’s priorities for the celebration are restoration of historic buildings in Fairmount Park, new programs for the city’s cultural institutions, neighborhood clean-up programs and the de- velopment of a model system for providing health care. Boston 200, that city’s master- plan for the Bicentennial com- memoration, is divided into five program areas with “The City It- self as Exhibit” as the central theme. Each are elemsnts of a different aspect of city life. ‘City game: the city as the ex- hibit; Festival American: the city as cultural center; physical and environmental improvements; the city as liveable environment: tour- ism development: the city as des- tination Visitor Services: the city as host. Boston 200 will begin of- ficially on April 20, 1975 (the 200th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride.) New York City is concentrating on tourism and conventions in 1976. A major part of the Bicen- tennial commemoration in our largest city will concentrate on the redevelopment of the South Street Seaport Museum, home of one fo the nation’s oldest ports and several historic ships. Part of the Seaport project will be a spe- cial Showboat featuring children’s drama lessons and performances, as well as a special floating school for the deaf that will sail to all five New York Boroughs. The Nation’s Capital is prepar- ing for an influx of visitors with a new National Visitors Center, monument © and mall. improve- ments, new museums and parks and a Bicentennial Garden. High on the list of Washington plans is urban redevelopment including the building of Fort Lincoln as a major New Town in-town, the building of the main campuses of two new public colleges, the re- building of the riot corridors, the development . of ‘parks as recrea- tion areas, and the redevelopment of the famed Pennsylvania Avenue Corridor. But the Bicentennial belongs to small towns, too. On the East Coast travelers can visit a variety of Revolutionary War sites that will: all feature special commem- orations. Lexington and: Concord, Yorktown and Colonial Williams- burg and many other sites are planning events. Some twenty Revolutionary War sites have al- ready been awarded Bicentennial recognition. New Jersey is planning to re- develop a 500-acre site known as Liberty Park facing the famed Statue of Liberty ‘in New York Harbor. As part of New Jersey's contribution to the Bicentennial the property will be converted from old railyards and docks to recreation areas with theatres and displays. The myriads of travelers to Florida during the winter months of 1976 will have many extra add- ed Bicentennial events to visit. Miami is building an Inter-Amer- ican Exposition and the State is planning a trail to connect some 75 important historical sites. The state of Virginia, rich in Revolutionary heritage, is sched- uling a special historical center for tourists in Yorktown, as well as information and exhibition centers at Charlottesville and Alexandria. “From Memphis to Mobile, from Natchez to St. Jo” all ac- ross the south and mid-west, elaborate = festivities, - pageants, fairs and pavillions are on the drawing boards for various ob- servances that will far surpass the ordinary July 4th celebrations. The state of Iowa is planning a World Food exposition and re- storing its old State Capitol. Kan- sas is restoring Fort Scott and Nebraska the Old Oregon Trail sites.. Several pageants will be staged at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, already designated a Bicentennial regional site, and its sister state of North Dakota ternational Peace Park. Other states are planning events around special anniver- heritages. Kentucky is restoring an old community to coincide settlements of European-descend- ed people. Kentucky's = celebra- 100th running of the Kentucky Derby in May, 1974. i Colorado will be celebrating its are. being planned throughout the state, as well as the restor- Western Community. being restored in Louisiana. The Capitol City of Baton Rouge is planning many Bicentennial events including a special com- memorative ballet and is build- Ing a new civic center. Similarly, North Carolina is planning sey- lutionary themes. The state of Texas is commis- sioning an opera. Some twenty- eight cities in Texas are working on major Bicentennial events. San = Antonio. is rebuilding its fair for Bicentennial programs. is being readied for the Bicenten- nial at the Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts. There's also a pro- gram to highlight Cherokee In- dian heritage and culture. In Arizona, Indians are also developing projects highlighting their role in the nation’s history. And the citizens of Wyoming are working on an Indian art and cultural center on the Wind River Indian Reservation. (Wyom- ing, a leader for Women’s Rights may also construct a Hall of Fame for Women for the Bicentennial.) To complete this minitour highlights of the Bicentennial the far Western states are planning many diverse programs, several of which are related to cleaning up America and leaving a per- manent residual - for our Third Century. Beginning in mid-1974 Spokane will open an interna- tional exposition on the environ- ment to honor the city’s 100th an- niversary and to salute the Bi- centennial. Park improvement is also slated for Seattle. And in Oregon, the park system is to be extended along the Willa- ed up by citizens in honor of the Bicentennial. Mobile historical ex- hibits are also being prepared to tour throughout Oregon. To fa- cilitate the citizens of Idaho that state is considering the conver sion of unused churches and public buildings to community centers. And New Mexico, California and Arizona are all planning fes- tivities, pageants and restorations pertaining to some of the oldest Spanish settlements in America. Bicentennial plans in these West- ern states will reflect the heavy Spanish influence that has play- ed such a major role in the Amer- ican experience. : There are an abundance of other festivities to keep the tourists happy in all 50 states. An in- fusion of federal grants and has resulted in many local blue- prints for the national celebra- tion. It is the intention of the national commission to support the state in every way as part of the national effort to see that the Bicentennial reaches and be- longs to all the people. : For additional information on Bicentennial planning, contact your local or State Bicentennial Commission.
