Keep Decor for Children Safe
By BITTY FIFIS
Contributing Writer
One important thing that >
may be overlooked when dec
orating a child’s room is the
safety factor.
Parents proceed with the
Intention of creating a gay
and pretty background and
often Ignore the fact that
what may be functional for
adults b not necessarily
workable .’or children.
None of Jiis applies to the
Infant but from the minute
a child begins to toddle or
even crawl it becomes an im
portant consideration.
Furniture oddly enough
can become a menace. If
shoddily made or the least
bit tippable it can become a
serious hazard. Conscientious
manufacturers have taken
this into consideration and
their furniture is both steady
and sturdy.
When buying, it is well to
test this factor by pushing
the piece to be sure it doesn't
even sway.
Lamps should be subjected
to the same kind of investi
tojtlon. Hare, the peril is
even greater for a pulled-out
ritric cord can be a danger,
well as the piece, or the
Shattered electric bulbs.
Built-ins Best
Solution to this is to avoid
floor lamps, put table size
ones at spots above the
Bach and incor
in built-in
fixtures or side
iut the toys is
blem. Ught
tuffed animals, ,
Jor example) can safely be
stashed away on shelves but
heavier equipment (like roll
ing stock for trains are best
Jsut away in close-to-the
•floor drawers or in a special
Sior-based toy chest. These
tter should be examined for
•finger-smashing tops. Bas
kets with lightweight closings
•which will not bang up tiny
seem an excellent sc
ion for this particular
‘pitoblem.
Tired children are more
'susceptible to accidents than
•those who are rested. A re
rent survey indicates that
more than three-quarters of
children who ire hurt unex
pectedly, are either overtired

or hungry. Therefore uncom
plicated window treatments
which assure day time dark
ness and which are unencum
bered with involved draper
ies are to be recommended.
Covering radiators not only
is a protective measure for
the small child but a decora
tive asset as well. Even If this
seems an extravagance in the
rest of the house, in a young
child’s room, it is more than
worthwhile.
Questions end Answers
Q.—l need some help with
colors for rug, draperies and
walls in my living room.
Sofa and one chair are
spring green, another chair
is white. I thought of hav
ing different shades of green

white. Have off-white walls
and woodwork with a slightly
deeper spring green for rug.
For draperies and toss pil

print with spring greens and
a touch of yellow in the pat

periwinkle blue, In small ac

Use Your Hedges
To Control Snow
By GEORGE E. CREED
Contributing Writer
An improperly placed hedge
or fence can result in a heavy
deposit of snow on a walk or
driveway, but better placed, a
hedge or fence can control
the drift onto such areas.
Drift along exposed
stretches of railroads and
highways has been con
trolled, at least to a certain
extent, by snow fences •
wooden slats wired together.
Such fencing is flexible and
can be rolled up and stored.
As a temporary measure, it
can be used on a small prop
erty, but taking it down and
erecting it each year is a
nuisance. Besides, it will not
add to the beauty of your
home.
Better looking and less
bothersome means of con
trolling snow drift are to be
found in regular fences and
hedges. Locations for these
should be studied carefully.
Otherwise, you may aggra
vate your problem Instead of
solving it.
With so many variables
existing between properties,
there are no pat solutions or
formulas to determine barrier
locations. This requires ob
servation on your part at a
time when the prevailing
wind is blowing after snow
has fallen. You then can see
what happens to snow blown
across your property and es
timate where a barrier will
be most effective.

or fence close to a driveway
on the side toward the pre
vailing wind acts to cause
deep drifting over the drive
way. A hedge or other bar
rier, located at some distance
to windward of the driveway,
woqld control drifting.
The height of any snow
barrier, as well as its po
rosity, are important factors.
A barrier that is too low will
become quickly covered with
snow and. while acting as a
positive deterrent, will only
be partially effective. This
is also true of a hedge or
fence that is too open, for
snow will simply pass
through it.
Questions and Answers
Question: Please suggest a
plant to form a massive, im
penetrable hedge at the back
line of my property.
Answer: Hawthorn is ideal.
Two of the best are Wash
ington and Cockspur haw
thorn.
Question: When is a good
time to prune grapes?
Answer: Right now.
