Show TIIE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Tailor Your Storage Space To Support Changing Needs By Ertta Haley space is one thing most STORAGE admit to needing more than any one other item in their homes. Unless you have had the home tailored to fit your current sized family, and all their needs, chances are that storage space is pinched. When you get desperate about storage facilities, you've probably thought of discarding all items not constantly in use, but that's about as far as the matter really goes. You simply can't toss away all kinds of possessions which are es-sential, though not in constant use. The problem then becomes one of finding or making storage space from what you now have, and you'll be amazed at how such space can be made. Another problem then crops up, and this is really the key to the whole situation: where is the best place to store things after you've found the space? Here's the solution: store it where it's most used. Extra blank-ets should go near the bed, not in a bedroom two doors away; record albums should go near the phono-graph, books next to the chair or sofa or bed where you do most of your reading, toys In the chilren's room and canned goods in the cooking area. Build shelves above a couch . . , Study first your Items needing storage. Decide what area they're used in most, and then go to work creating the necessary equipment. Buy or Make Shelves That are Movable Storage space does not remain static. As the family grows, you'll find more space necessary for books, record albums and clothing. These are different from the space needs of the younger family where more space is required for small articles of clothing and toys, as well as crib linens, and small blankets. Adjustlble shelves are the an-swer to the growing faWly's need for storage space. You can make or buy shelves, for example, which will lit walls In one place as well pads and pillows, thus making them convenient to the bed as well as releasing closet space for clothing. Bed chests are another space saver. These may be made of com-position or a lightweight aluminum, and slide easily in and out from under the bed. Use them for extra bedding, or when necessary, clothing. Headboard arrangements with shelves or cabinets can be pur-chased or they may be made If you have a man about the house who is interested in carpentry. Use them not only in the master bedroom but the other rooms as well In children's rooms, the head-board arrangement with shelves is excellent for toy storage. Later it may be used for bedding or clothing. In either case it gives storage space where you need it, and fits the changing needs of the user. Shelf and cabinet arrangements above beds or couches can also be used for sewing supplies as well as for hobby collections, in adult's as well as children's rooms. In this case, have the shelves arranged at-tractively so they are decoratively pleasing. How to Add More Closet Space In many older homes, rooms themselves are large enough, but the closets are small Naturally, this will crowd the wardrobe, making clothing difficult to keep nicely, and also an unpleasant job to put away. Frequently It's possible to make a closet unit against one wall of the room in which to keep clothing, as well as shoes and accessories. and cabinets near the bed. as another. These are shelves that hang by hooks so they can be used In bedroom, den or living room with equal ease. When buying or making shelves, they should also be expandable ac-cording to the height of the shelf. You may want to use them for some large albums or books, later on for smaller books'. These can be used for toys and children's books in the nursery, later on in the living room to take care of the family library. Cabinets with built in bins or doors which give you a cabinet for storage of almost any variety are a good investment. Use them in the youngster's room for extra bed-ding or in your own bedroom for the same reason. When nicely fin-ished they can be moved into a living or dining room, or even a hall to store clothing or rainwear. When buying furniture, especial-ly the units made for modern rooms, you'll find they can be used in several different rooms in the home. Waist-hig- h cabinets might find a place in dining or living area right now for linens, dishes or glass-ware. Later on the same cabinets will be excellent for use In den or extra bedrooms for storing clothing, shoes, accessories or bed linens. Create Storage Space In Bedrooms Easily Amazing storage space can be created right in your own bedroom. Consider for example the head-boards that are now being made for the box spring and mattress ar-rangements. The simple ones come with bookcases which hold books, magazines, lamps and radios and take only a small space at the head of the bed. More elaborate headboards come with cabinets in addition to the bookshelves. These, of course, can be used for bed linens, blankets, Plywood is often used for the con-struction. Wardrobes of this type can be papered any number of times, when you move or as you change them from one bedroom to another. If the storage problem lies in the kitchen you can buy both wood and metal cabinets which will take care of brooms, cleaning or food supplies. Tall cabinets with shelves may be used for linen storage, in kitchen or laundry then later in the basement for canning supplies. When you're pressed for space, and need the table tops for work-ing, it's a good idea to buy cabinet tops which will give you both at the same time. This idea can be carried out well in the kitchen by means of cabinet units to use along bare walls. Small Hanging Shelves Add Style to Rooms If you have prized china, glass or metal objects, you can use space given by small hanging shelves to a decorative advantage. Used above a table, desk or chest in living, dining or other rooms, they give importance and interest to these pieces of furniture. Small books which do not fit Into regular bookcases can be placed on hanging shelves in living room or den, right above the favorite read-ing chair to complete the picture. Small objects such as miniature china, glass or even a plant collec-tion an be housed nicely on hanging shelves above a small desk in the bedroom which belongs to the lady of the house. Hanging shelves, in addition to the storage space they create, will also help correct furniture faults. If you have low chest, for in-stance, a shelf or two above it will attract attention to the wall and, at the same time, will make the chest leemtaller. plpJ Serve Protein-Ric- h Foods for Summer Meals To Repair Tissues "SHE SETS A GOOD TABLE," In days gone by was the very last word In compliments for good home- - ! tw i makers.

A "good table" is still as essential as it was in grandmother's day, and is possible when food wisdom, beauty and imagination are used for its preparation.

But this opportunity to further home town economy is often neglected by merchants, civic clubs, and the publishers of local newspapers be-cause they fail to tell the world about their assets.

In addition, one of the heaviest snowfalls in the history of the country covered many northern states last winter and re-sulted in widespread damage to road surfaces. Home towns located on highways in good repair will find traffic through town greatly Increased during the next two or three months. Motoring In the United States has come a long way since 1922 when a national magazine declared "any-body can drive across the country now In fifty days." However, the magazine warned that "anyone un-dertaking to drive from the Atlantic to the Pacific In thirty days has thrown the scenery of the journey way for the questionable privilege of watching chucks and rucks." Today the motorist thinks nothing of allowing three or four days for a 1,500 mile journey, and maybe seven or eight for a coast to coast trip. But due to the weather dur-ing the past winter and deteri-oration during the war years, this schedule should be revised slightly upward this year. Most states have labored to Improve their road networks, but the motorist must expect to find many Inadequate stretches of highways.

In many towns apartments are available for as little as $10 a week. Hotels are offering rooms at $5 and $6 a day that rent In winter for $22.
