Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Color Tricks and Storage Space Improves Smallest Bathrooms By Ertta Haley MANY WOMEN who are very with the way in which their homes are constructed and decorated frequently despair of their bathrooms. "Too small," they say. "Not enough room for any-thing," ethers add. Even smaller bathrooms have possibilities for definite decoration, and some of the smallest can be transformed so they offer almost amazing storage possibilities. Fre-quently you'll find that once storage room has been added to the bath-room, it can be more attractive than before. Good use of space is not only a practical idea, but it can be beauti-ful because of Its use. Imagine be-ing able to display your cosmetics In the bathroom, in their attractive containers. You'll appreciate their beauty, as well as your convenience to them. Consider how useful and lovely It .would be if you could display your lovely thick towels in all their luscious colors, on open shelves in the bathroom. Wouldn't you like a built-i- n vanity In your bathroom, if even a small one? With a lovely waterproof skirt, it can add decor to the room as well s Interest. Have you seen the lovely glass, as well as the jewel-tone- d plastic gadgets which can be placed in bathrooms for convenience in hang-ing daily washed items such as hose and gloves? You can appre- - much clutter and transfers it to a room where any spilled powder or lotion is much easier to clean. Vanities in the bathroom easily take the place of the dressing room. This might offer further Incentive to investigate the . possibilities of the project, especially If it can be managed, and you do not have room for a "powder" or dressing room. There are several ways in which the bath can be modernized to take care of the project. If your bath tub does not extend all the way from one side of the room to the other, or take up a whole wall, in other words, there might be a small space at the end of the tub where it could be constructed. Clay tiling will provide an excellent top while a skirt will complete the vanity. 'aSl Place a mirror on the wall above the top. This may have light fix-tures on either side if light Is es-sential. Vanities can be built around the basin simply by extending the top with tiling, enough to make a table. If you have the room, bring out tiling and set on a table top which has a sunken box with a lid for tissues and cosmetics. In this case when the top lid is opened, the mirror is on the Inside of the box and will stand straight up. Provide Bathroom With Drying FaclUties Grandmother always had a con-venient basement for her laundry, but In modern homes we like more convenience. Let's face the fact that today's bathroom has to be a miniature laundry for daily suds- - Bathrooms need drying, facilities . , . elate their beauty as well as enjoy their practicality. Does your bathroom have a medicine chest? If not, you are missing one of the greatest conven-iences. With small children, you can store away all poisons and dangerous drugs In this, and lock them. A glass on the door will give you the essential feature of every bathroom, a mirror. Use Empty Walls For Storage No matter how small the bath-room, there's usually wall space left after the major features are installed. In modern building this pace is not simply left there; it's used to the fullest limit At the entrance to the bathroom, ' lngs required for hose, gloves and underwear. Most of these are quick-dryin- g and hardly worth the trouble to bring to the basement if you have one, especially when they can be washed so readily In the bathroom. Keep them neatly off the towel racks, however. If you want to avoid family feuds. One excellent solution to the dry-ing problem Is a rack constructed at the end of the bath tub, espe-cially In the case of the tub that does not extend all the way to the wall. One side of the rack can rest on the floor, the other against the ceiling. Six or" more horizontal bars give wonderful drying space for daily laundry as well as towel drying. Then, too, there are other drying aids which may be attached to the back of the door or on wall space in the bath. They vary all the way from folding racks or shells or hooks for such small items as socks, hose and hankies. Color Modernizes Old Bathrooms There's nothing quite like the cur-rent luscious colors for adding new-ness and pep to the out-date- d bath-room. Specially finished wallpapers can be used in many of them, while clay tiling and plastic finishes may be more practical for you. If part of the bathroom is painted, as frequently happens with the up-per half of a tiled bathroom, choose a new color for a good change. Fixtures may often be modern-ized at little expense. If the sore spot In your bathroom Is the light hanging from the ceiling, you may find it will cost little to install fluorescent type lighting, or at least wall fixtures with a more modern look. Don't neglect such small fixtures as new rods, soap containers, cor-ner shelves or plastic shelves which offer storage as well as beauty. When the bathroom is used by several people, make ample pro-vision for the towels they use, both for hands and bath. Towel racks for the youngsters should be placed low enough for them to reach readily, thus discouraging the drap-ing of wet and dirty towels on the side of the tub. If towel space is at a premium, use the swingout racks with two or three rods rather than the horizontal bars. tu well ms increased storage space, which is frequently a small hallway type of construction, or on one of the walls adjoining the bath tub or bowl, you may have several feet of space extending from floor to celling. For a space of this type have three or four recessed shelves of the open type constructed. These can be used for towels, bath mats and other such accessories. You'll still have two or three feet of space from the floor to the place where the shelves begin. Use these for two or three drawers. These may contain additional soap sup-plies, bathing aids such as brushes, bathroom cleaners, or extra sup-plies of cosmetics and tooth paste or shaving supplies. Space above the wash basin or bowl is ideal for a medicine cabinet with a mirror door. It's convenient, right at this place, and this is a good place for the mirror. Wall space elsewhere in the bath-room, especially any that's on the upper half of the wall can be used for cabinets, medicine or storage Shadow boxes which are recessed Into the walls are also decorative as well as good for storing towels, wash cloths, mats and shower cur-tains. Vanity In Bathroom Offers Convenience Having a vanity or a dressing table in the bathroom offers great convenience in many respects. If your wash basin or bowl does not have enough of a ledge on which to set bottles of cosmetics, combs, brushes and pins, you can Imagine the great Joy of the vanity In addition to this, having the vanity, even a small one in the bathroom, frees the bedroom from H ft H H H H I) BflBtll Ml (ffl HOUSEHOLD Hp I iJi IS 13 03 iyJunnCnltmiehS j to;av;c&i'f VSr' Ij c sf'Verify I rPff:- cookies Kate High at Snack Time (See Recipes Below) Cookie Jar Time "TITITEN I HAVE the cookie Jar filled," says many a home-make- r, "1 feel that I'm ready for anything, the children's coming home from school, teen ager's get together, or friends dropping in."

PINKHAM'S 1 VECETABU COMPOUND 1 Population Shift From Rural to City Life Noted in Census NEW YORK A further shift from rural to city life has oc-curred among Americans during the past 10 years, Metropolitan Life Insurance company statisticians, report. This trend is evidenced, ac-cording to the statisticians, by the 1950 census returns which show that the rate of population growth has been least in counties with small communities. Although the county's total popula-tion increased by 14.5 per cent In the ten years from 1940 to 1950, the counties with a population under 25.000 In 1940 increased only 0.2 per cent. By contrast, the counties with 25,000-49,99- 9 population gained 8.3 per cent. The most rapid in- - crease 19.5 per cent was in coun-ties with 100,000 or more people In 1940. "This tendency of the people to concentrate more and mpre in areas which already are well populated continues a trend which has exist-ed for many decades," the statis-ticians observe, "with the result that a steadily increasing propor-tion of the population is living in the larger towns and cities." The counties with less than 25,000 residents in the south-centr- and agricultural re-gions actually lost population be-tween 1940 and 1950. In California, however, which had an extraordi-nary population growth during the decade, even the small counties, with numerous small towns, in-creased 27 per cent. The over-al- l growth of population In the past decade is found to fol-low a definite geographic pattern. "The relative gains were smallest In the northeast, and accelerated as one goes southward and westward," the statisticians noted. RURAL MEDICINE Larger Number Of Small Town Students Urged CHICAGO, 111. An Increase in the number of medical students from rural areas was suggested as a means of increasing the num-ber of physicians practicing in such areas. This might be accomplished either by preferential consideration of applicants from rural commu-nities or by encouraging and as-sisting d students from small towns to attend medical school. This opinion was expressed by Dr. Harold S. Diehl of Minneapolis, dean of the medical sciences, Uni-versity of Minnesota. Dr. Diehl was a speaker at the 47th annual congress on medical education and licensure. The three-da- y meeting was spon-sored by the council on medical education and hospitals of the American Medical Association. Three Groups Listed Dr. Diehl reported the results of a study of the present practice location of 545 graduates of the Uni-versity of Minnesota medical school in relation to the type of community in which they grew up. For the pur-pose of tabulation and analysis, communities were divided in three groups: (1) with a population of less than 5,000; (2) with a popula-tion of 5,000 to 100,000, excluding Rochester, where the Mayo clinic constitutes a special situation; (3) Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. Of the 199 doctors who grew up In small communities of less than 5,000, 118 returned to small towns to practice, 35 went to towns with a population of 5,000 to 100,000, and 48 went to one of the three large cities. Of the 104 doctors who grew up in towns of 5,000 to 100,000 popula-tion, only 25 went to small towns and rural communities. Of the 242 who were raised In large cities, 53 went Into rural community prac-tice. This tabulation, Dr. Diehl pointed out, indicates that the chances of a student brought up in a small town of returning to such a town are more than 2V4 times as great as the chances of a student from a large city going into a small com-munity to practice. Population Trends Cited His study also showed that group one communities, which can be classed as the home towns of America, have 51 per cent of Min-nesota's population, but provide only 36 per cent of the medical students; group two with 18 per cent of population provide 20 per cent of the students, and the three large cities with 31 per cent of the state's population account for 44 per cent of the medical students. "This Indicates," Dr. Diehl said, "that medical students of the Uni-versity of Minnesota are drawn somewhat disproportionately from the large cities. This difference, however, is perhaps less than might be expected In consideration of the greater Incentives toward profes-sional careers in the large cities and the remoteness of most com-munities of less than 5,000 popula-tion from opportunities for higher education of all types." Half of Town Made III By an 'Airborne Virus' MERCERSBURG, Pa. More than half of the 2,300 people In this small community were made 111 recently by an "airborne virus." Dr. Louis Hitchcroth, member of the borough's board of health, said the symptoms of the Illness were nausea, vomiting, severe pain In the abdominal region and diarrhea. The attack started on a Tuesday night In the ensuing hours 1,100 citizens, including 135 students en-rolled at the Mercersburg Academy became infected. There were isolated cases In farm areas, cases in the public schools and elsewhere. For that reason. Dr. Hitchcroth said, the board of health ruled out the possibility of water acting as a carrier of the Illness since not all of the people used the same water. Dr. Hitchcroth said a possible ex-planation might be that the virus was blown into the area by air movements. He estimated that more than half of the Franklin county community had been af-fected. Many persons recovered without medical attention. Biblical Paintings Used To Decorate Small Town ESCONDIDO, Calif. Holiday street decorations in the small community of Escondido were prob-ably the most distinctive of all small towns in the United States last year. They consisted of a mile-lon- g series of nearly life-siz- e paintings portraying Biblical scenes that re-lated to the Nativity. The paintings, 45 in number, were done by art students in the adult education di-vision of the Escondido high school. Members of the Escondido min-isterial association served as con-sultants in the project, the aim of which was to provide the commu-nity with Christ-mas decorations. Art class mem-bers spent six months on the paint-ing under the direction of Mrs. Mil-dred Miller, high school art instruc-tor. The paintings were attached to light columns along main street and illuminated at night. With the help of the clergymen, the scenes were numbered and catalogued, and a booklet was issued giving the Bible passage to which each scene re-ferred. Iowa Testing Landing Fields for Small Towns OSCEOLA, Iowa. Four Iowa cities are leading the way toward an airport program nearly every small town and city can afford. Osceola, Hampton, Ida Grove and Guttenburg now have single-stri- p airports, adequate for farmers and businessmen's private planes. Each of the airports was built at a total cost of well under $1,000. The airports have runway markers, a windsock, tiedown areas for park--ln- g planes, outdoor restrooms and a shelter house with telephone. They adjoin a main highway and are only a mile or so from town. The Iowa aeronautics commis-sion thinks all of the state's 950 towns should have landing facilities. Norbert Locke, director of the com-mission, reported that there are 2,400 private planes In Iowa, and 4,500 active pilots who use them on business. He commented that Iowa has 500 flying farmers more than any other state and many of them fly to town for implement parts, or to let their wives shop. Low-co- land-ing strips open up smaller cities for business, and offer an advan-tage in being close to town. The Osceola airport, for instance is only a nt taxicab trip from the business district. Utah Dealers Gross Over $150,000 from Hides SALT LAKE CITY, Utah Hide buyers in Utah estimate that they grossed $150,000 last year from deer hides brought in by hunters. Locker plants take in most of the hides. From there they go to hide dealers. One of the area's biggest wool and hide dealers, B. C. Elliott, estimated that about 50,000 deer were killed in the 1950 season by 80,-00- 0 hunters. The locker compsnies usually take the hides as part of their charge for storing vension. They sell the skins to the large buyers for about $1.75 each. Dealers dry and salt the hides. Then they are shipped to tanners who convert the skins to doeskin and buckskin that go into such ar-ticles of clothing as jackets and gloves. Several kinds of fruit left In the refrigerator? Place in deep dish, top with piecrust and bake. Invert so crust is on the bottom, slice like pie and serve with whipped cream. Baked fruit like pears and apples can be served on top of small slices of slightly stale cake. Have plenty of syrup from the fruit to spoon onto the cake. Keep Individual pastry tart shells on hand along with ' chocolate, vanilla and butterscotch puddings. You have a choice of tarts any time you want them. |
