Show TIIE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Small Outlay of Time and Money Can Make a Convenient Kitchen By Ertta Haley YOUR kitchen full of the small IS conveniences that mean a sav-ing of footsteps and energy? If the kitchen Is In existence or Just on paper, there are many features that can be added to It to make it more comfortable and convenient. No matter how small, there's no kitchen that will not lend Itself to some time and effort saving fea-tures, while at the same time giv-ing you greater pleasure working In It. Greater storage space, conven-iently placed, can be added to many an existing kitchen with simple ad-justments. The same applies to working space. Certain in working areas can be made with simple changes and ad-ditions, and these will result in greater efficiency in food prepara-tion. In both small and large kitchens, It's important to make wise use of space that's available. This applies not only to cupboards, but wall space as well. It's a temptation to spread out the working areas if there's a lot of working space, as In large kitchens, but It may be more Important to condense. With the small kitchen every pos-sible nook, cranny and wall area should be put to fullest use If the kitchen Is to achieve maximum ef-ficiency. Many of the shelves which will relieve crowded cupboards, and small drawers need but little salad bowls, as well as salad plates. t'tlllie Range Area For Essentials Many kitchens ignore the range area in their decorative scheme entirely but upon investigation you can find how really useful It is. If your cabinets and cupboards are crowded, see what you can do with the wall around the range to carry some of the load. Immediately above the range, or on the wall adjoining it, you can place a rack which will hold sev-eral of your most used pots and pans. Think how convenient this is to reach. Reach for a pan to place right on the range, and you can save unstacking and bending to a low cupboard to reach it Another useful shelf for the kitch-en, and especially for range or food preparation area Is a small one which would hold cannisters containing sugar, flour, coffee and tea. If desired, the shelf might be made long enough to hold a large sized salt and pepper shaker which could be used at the range. When the utensil rack is placed immediately above the range, this rack for cannisters can be placed along a side wall adjoining the range and it will give as great con-venience as above the range. If the clean-u- p center (sink) Is next to the stove either utensil or can-ister rack may be placed above the side nearest the range, and it will still be convenient. Should there be more space avail-able near the range or sink area you may hang a rack with egg beater, large forks, slotted spoons and strainer there. Add Table Tops Add extra storage files . . . space, and yet, the service they give is of such great value you'll wonder how you ever did without them. Innovations of this type are simple to construct and can be done by a handy man or the man of the bouse. In some cases shelves and racks may be purchased already made and need only to be hung. Place Cupboards Sacks Strategically Kitchens need a knife rack or even two of them for real effi-ciency. If you can have two of them, by all means, do place one at the sink and another at the food preparation center. Racks should ba placed at a height on the wall where they can be reached most easily for the person doing the most work in the kitchen. Deter-mine which knives are used at each Ami pull-o- ut table to kitchen, of the two work centers, and then buy or construct a rack which holds the number and type of knives used. Knives placed at the sink area ere usually of the small paring variety since this is where your fruit and vegetable preparation take place. At the food preparation area you may have bread and sandwich knives, as well as the different types of meat knives. If you have cabinets above the ink, these are best used for the daily dishes. In this way you can place the dishes ot. the shelves without moving after washing. One type of cupboard for dishes Is the pull-o- type which is simple to construct. If the cabinet is a bit hard to reach, you can easily see the value of the pull-o- fea-ture. Special racks for the different sized plates can also be placed in a pull-o- cupboard, as well as the stationary type to keep the dishes filed for easy access. Have you ever thought of a salad cupboard? These are excellent when placed right near the refrig-erator. If there's some space un-derneath the regular cupboard and the working surface right below it, here's the space for just such a cupboard. Salad fork and spoon for tossing and serving can be placed on a rack on the inside of the door. On the single shelf in the salad cupboard you can stand a large wooden bowl, against the back of the cabinet. Condiments, oil and vinegar will take up the remain-der of the space. If the cupboard can be made Larger than the one described above, It may well hold Individual To Kitchens It's surprising how many kltcfo ens offer a sink top and a small table top as working space for the homemaker. No wonder it takes so long to prepare foods, and at the same time removes pleasure in the preparation. On the other hand, It's fairly easy to add table working space even to the small kitchen. One side of the kitchen window may have a small empty space of less than 20 in-ches in width. Wouldn't it be nice to have a table there? If you do not want to invest in a cabinet base, it's easy to construct a drop table for this. Fold it into the wall when not in use. Drop tables of this type, though not wide can be fairly long, thus giving nice top working space. Since they stand on two outer legs and are folded to the wall when not in use, they really take little space except while you work. Extension work tables are an-other asset for the kitchen which needs table top space for food prep-aration. Closets Give Good Storage A quick glance at many kitchens reveals a long but narrow space usually wasted right next to the range or refrigerator. With a cabi-net to fit, this can be used for sev-eral shelves to house cleaning cloths, powders, soaps and clean-ing brushes and equipment. Put the door of such a closet to use, also, with holders for a broom, mop, brushes, etc. If you like, at-tach a mirror to the inside of the closet door with a narrow shelf underneath to hold comb, brush, powder and lipstick for quick freshening of hair and makeup.

Scientific "rain-making- " is creating considerable Interest In many dry sections of the west. Five small communities In Mon-- s tana recently formed the Northwest I Montana Rain Increasing associa-tion and employed a firm of preci-- j pitation engineers to increase the . amount of rainfall in their areas. The towns are Sidney, Savage, Glendive, Circle and Vida. j In past operations, rainfall has been increased from a minimum of 50 per cent to 500 per cent over normal in southeastern Orecon. southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Ranchers Form Association A somewhat similar organization was formed at Golden, Colorado, recently. The group was formed by ranchers and business men from Jefferson, Adams, Arapahoe and parts of Weld counties. The area is composed of 3,000,000 acres which are favorable to rain and snow making. The cost of "rainmaking" is re-latively small around 10 cents per acre foot in the area. Ranchers and farmers agreed they would gladly pay more of excellent results. Meanwhile, other "rainmaking" news was on the front pages of newspapers in the east. Ulster coun-ty. New York, filed a claim for $387,000 against the city of New York alledging that artificial "rain-making" operations in the Esopus creek watershed on or about No-vember 25 and 26, 1950, had caused the waters to reach flood propor-tions thereby damaging bridges and highways. The town of Shandaken also filed a $167,000 claim against New York City charging that Dr. Wallace Howell, the Manhattan rainmaker, precipitated the devastating flood which caused much havoc In the area In November, 1950. Small Towns Sue New York City authorities, while admitting having done some ground seeding at Fahnestock at that time, would not comment on the damage claims. Shandaken charged in its claim that roads and bridges were dam-aged In the extent of $167,000 and that the interference by the city with natural conditions was in the nature of a trespass. The usual method of "rainmak-ing" today consists of shooting silver Iodide Into cloud formations. One millgram of silver iodide will seed a cubic mile of air from which will fall two or three times as much moisture as would normally. The towns of Longmont, and Ft. Collins, Colorado, have joined in experiments in that area In the "rainmaking" experiment. Center of the States Pennsylvania was called the "Keystone State," due to occupying the central position In the 13 orig-inal states. First Express Service The first express service was on the Boston and Taunton railway, or-ganized by Charles Davenport and N. S. Mason in 1836. Rural Church Ministers To Attend Training Rally GREEN LAKE, Wis. Rural min-isters of Wisconsin and other mid-west states will attend the unique Protestant training school at Green Lake from April 4 through April 19. The school Is sponsored by the Wisconsin council of churches in with the national town and country committee of the home missions council and the rural church center of Green Lake. ' Courses will be offered in rural ministry and rural preaching by nationally known professors and clergymen. The purpose of the school Is to acquaint those attending with re-cent developments In the rural church movement, rural evangelism programs and in Christian educa-tion, church administration and the use of the Bible in rural teaching and preaching. Among the courses offered ars "Preaching to Rural People" which will be discussed by the Rev. Alan Darling, pastor of the Oswego, 111., Presbyterian church, and lectures on rural life by Dr. Mark V. Daw-be- r. Long Island, N.Y., former na-tional director of town and country work for the Methodist church. Dr. Dawber is the author of "Rebuild- - Ing Rural America." Dr. Mark Rich, secretary of town and country for the American Bap-tist home mission society, will di-rect the school. In addition to lectures, the school . ill feature special handicraft class-es, a radio workshop and a work shop in visual aids. Clarion Dedicates New Wing to Public School CLARION, Iowa Citizens ot Clarion (population 2,900) turned out in force recently to Inspect the new addition to the Clarion public school. The addition was built at a cost of $86,634.00, the lowest cost of any school construction in that part of the state during 1950. The addition provides accommo-dations for the high school band, woodworking and metal working de-partments, and an art department. The metal working and woodwork-ing departments are equipped with the latest machinery and tools, in-cluding drill presses, electric weld-ers, planers, power saws and num-erous hand tools. School officials described the new addition as one of the finest In that part of Iowa and a model of school plant planning. |
