Always thoroughly fascinated with the realm of cookery, Ruth Poynton takes great delight in preparing special dishes for friends and family. She is never at a loss to serve tempting and delicious dishes when enter- taining Ruth and her husband, Cecil G. Poynton, reside on Shaver Avenue, Shavertown, where they moved 31 years ago from Forty Fort when their only son, George, was just a youngster. Mr. Poynton, now retired, was formerly with Natona Mills where he worked for 23 years. They are members of Shaver- town United Methodist Church where Ruth taught Sunday School for 10 years. For many years, Ruth Poynton played an active role in community and civic affairs but now prefers to spend her leisure time enjoying her three grand- daughters, Juli 11, Kristel 9, and Laura, 1. Juli and Kristel often spend afternoons or evenings visiting their grandparents. Ruth Poynton enjoys needle- work and craft projects. She crochets, knits, embroiders and has made many outfits for her grandchildren. She has also made dolls for them, her latest a “kindergarten” doll for year- old Laura. and is a member of the Tuesday afternoon marathon card group. Pinochle and canasta are two of her favorites and she is a member of a canasta club which meets monthly. Formerly secretary of the Senior Citizens, Ruth is also a member of the Nesbitt Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, Shavertown Branch, and Dallas Star where she was a member for two years. A member of the former Dallas Daughters of America Lodge, she is still a member of the group’s Past Councilors Club where she currently serves As since her husband retired, there is no need for the Poyn- tons to plan special vacations for they are free to visit places and friends on the spur of the moment. Friends visiting Ruth Poyn- ton are amazed at her variety of African violets which includes dozens of colors and shades with double as well as single blossoms. Among the favorite recipes she shares with Post readers this week are apple dumplings, a favorite of her husband’s; her popular tea ring; and cookies which her granddaughters enjoy.

New designs run the gamut, plaids, geometrics, florals, and a collection of nature-inspired forms with rambling, rather amoebic lines. And with these appear distinct- ively regional designs and new translations of classics from practically every nation and culture: the American Indians’ earth-toned geometrics, the intricate Orientals of the Near East, the quilts and patchworks of Early America, and the Scandinavian rya’s peasant designs in a tapestry and shag combination. Patterned rugs have a strong, -very definite say in the look of a room. A whole scheme can be built around any one. Their colors can be the basis for the rest of the colors in the room, or their feeling can set the theme for the furniture. Patterns are true mood-makers. The bold- ness of the design and color determines the strength they will carry in the room. Moreover, today’s decorating flexibility encourages formerly unacceptable combinations. An Oriental rug can--and does--go as well with see-through plastics as with traditional furniture. A solid-color shag looks splendid with shiny chrome but so does a flat geo- metric. You can use old with new, East with West, even Old East with New West. That's what the Mix is all about. The rug and carpet story does not stop with the floor, for they are no longer confined to a hori- zonital surface. They are going decorating never done before.

It softens the scene,- reduces outside & iS an effective means '0f hiding problem or cracked walls, and does not have to be painted every few years. Good strong carpeting will last a long time on the wall because there is little wear and tear and no trampling or spilling. It is easy to maintain. A simple sweep with the wand attachment of the vacuum cleaner should keep it fresh. «Wall carpeting is an excellent background for art. The nail marks do not show so that paints can be rotated as often as you want. Another advantage of carpeting is its insulating properties. Perhaps that is one reason why tapestries were so popular in all those cold old castles. Human nature is so consttut- ed, that all see, and judge bet- ter, in the affairs of other men, than in their own.
