Happy atmosphere of warmth, of coolness, of coziness or of airiness. 3, WHERE temperature is concerned, tests have been ar irtliday done in university classrooms where they have painted the room bright orange. Despite the actual temperature being quite cool in the room, people would quickly shed coats and jackets, wear more summery looking outfits, and complain of high temperatures. When the situation was re- versed. ..the walls were painted with cool tones like green or blue and the temperature was turned up in the room, despite the warmer temperature students felt cold and ended up wearing sweaters and coats all through the class periods. It seemed to make them feel cooler to the point that they actually were cooler. OTHER EXPERIMENTS indicate that muscular reaction is much faster under the influence of red lights than under green lights. Psychologists have reported studies that seem to show that young children tested in brightly painted rooms made higher I.Q. scores than those tested in ugly or dark rooms. This included not only very d rooms but also white rooms that were too plain. dark-colore- COLORS EVEN seem to have the strange power of altering our physical state as well as our mental processes. For example, in mental hospitals depressive patients were placed in rooms with bright yellow or red walls and the hyperactive patients were confined in rooms with walls of blue or green. The effects manifested themselves in visually d patients and a significant reduction in blood pressure. more-relaxe- NOT ONLY colors, but different lighter or darker values of a color have a profound effect on people. Dark colored objects are generally experienced as being heavier than light colored objects. Workers in a factory complained about the weight of their metal tool kits. They were painted a dark brown. The management was advised to repaint the boxes in a pale green. After this was completed the complaints ceased and several men commented on the ease of lifting the new lightweight kits. SO, COLOR in all its characteristics of hue and tone can be a powerful tool for a designer in achieving the desired effect, whether it is warm and cheerful, restful and serene, or exciting and stimulating. Color has been important and sought after throughout history, The dyes that make colors used to be taken from certain plants or animals. IN THE Roman civilizations, Tyrian purple dye was produced from the gland of the Murex snail found in the Ml, Mediterranean i if I required to make small amounts of this purple dye so that a Roman emperor could wear his robe of Tyrian purple while his subjects wore unbleached cotton. As a designer, with todays home and colors, we have to be prepared to select colors that will produce the desired psychological responses in the clients home or office. m- K' Vg ) ii. 4-- H Club Visits Store Officers of the Club who have served since Feb. 27, 1981 are Caryn Mini-Mixe- 4-- Lewis, president; Nanette Green, Cami Anderson, sec., Emily Timothy, party chairman, Lauri Porter, phone chairman, Jenny Jones, photographer and reporter, and Ginger Cox, service project. ON APRIL 10, the Minis visited Bowmans Grocery Store and learned many important tips on purchasing food. The first stop was the produce department where they learned to select a good head of lettuce, what to look for when selecting bananas and potatoes, and how to determine a fair price. The dairy section was explained, showing how to locate expiration dates and look for damaged containers. THE BAKERY department was especially interesting. The girls learned to compare prices, weight, number of slices, as well as freshness. The value of coupons was . discussed and trade coupon box was pointed out.

The James David Cook home in South Weber has been changed very little since its construction in 1908. DAVID COOK HOME THE COOK children, Ethel, Florence, Sanford and Nora, were all bom in the three-roohouse. James David Cook was a school teacher and a farmer by profession. He taught in River-dalLayton, Kaysville and the Upper School in South Weber. e, WHEN MR. Cook was called to serve an LDS mission, Mrs. Cook and her four children moved to Riverdale to live with relatives. Returning home in the spring of 1907. Mrs. Cook immediately began planning his new, brick home. THE FAMILY lived in a tent while the house was being built. Charlie Poll did the work. His trademark is the steep gabled style of the roof. The wisdom of putting a gable in the center of the building was questioned by Mr. Cook but Charlie Poll stood firm and the gable remained unchanged. THE COOK home looks just about as it did in 1908. Beautiful varnished wood work, high ceilings, deep window sills and many doors all have been preserved to retain the architecture and style of the period. David Cook, the youngest member of the family, is the only child bom in this home. 11 INCLUDED IN the four-roodownstairs level is a spacious kitchen. At threshing time, 18 or more men were fed at a table that extended the length of the kitchen. Mrs. Cook, aided by her nieces and her youngest sister, worked hard to prepare three meals daily for the threshing and hay crews. m )SlD3 0QTD3G03 TrmimsEBJT ; j Hiltir 1 ' irnia 'TKuuin A TRUNK, a buffet and other lovely pieces of furniture add a touch of warmth to the extremely homey house.

BY USING suitable colors, architectural elements can be accenturated or unattractive structural parts can be minimized. A small patterned wallpaper can completely conceal odd jogs in walls, and lighter tones seem to emphasize cathedral ceilings and sky- lights. The right colors can make small rooms seem larger. Ceilings can be made to seem higher or lower with a coat of paint. Where there is no sunlight, its effects can be simulated with warm colors and excessive brightness or glare can be reduced with cool dark surfaces. THERE ARE many things to take into consideration where rooms and people are involved. Windows and their light exposure must be know. This includes knowing which types of fabrics will fade in direct sunlight and by being able to minimize exposure differences between rooms by using cool colors in south and west rooms, warm colors in east and north rooms. When looking at color from a small sample of fabric, you must not judge it by being up very close, especially a multicolored print. Drape it on a piece of furniture or lay it on the floor and stand back about 10 feet. You will get your true colors and patterns at this range. jki MARIE HOLGREEN walls in closer to the center of the room. This can be done simply with paint or perhaps a WATER FROM a spring originally was carried into the house. Today, this same spring still provides the culinary water. When modem plumbing became popular, a pantry was converted into a bathroom. This is one of the few changes that have been made in the home. ACQUAINTANCES of the Cook family best remembers the house for the parties that the Cooks gave. Mr. and Mrs. Cook both came from large families. Friends and relatives were always guests in the TO ACHIEVE this, the color palette must be compatible with the purpose of the room, its physical size, form and source of light. Colors can be played to the best advantage, but you have to know how and where to use them. For instance, a long narrow room with walls may be relieved of such a skinny look by putting a darker value or color on the end walls. This will seemingly bring those off-whi-te ALSO, THERES something we call simultaneous contrast, which simply means that color may differ in hue and tone where placed in different surroundings. The change of tone can be accomplished by emphasizing the desired color in the major areas in the room like carpet or walls. By doing this, colors can be made to drastically change their appearance. IN PATTERNS or prints, for example, you can almost make less favorable colors receed and practically disappear, while the accent colors you want to emphasize will stand out and be very apparent, just by using these more desirable colors in the large areas in the room. The principles of color should create harmony. The color selections should articulate the basis of the total design, creating a delicate ba- lance between the rooms mood, its function and its occupants. home. During the summer months, friends and cousins of the Cook children stayed many days at a time in the Cook home. The yard is as carefully preserved as the house. Lawn, lilac bushes, bridal wreath and "flags are part of the landscape. Shade trees planted in modem times replace the older popular varieties that provided welcome and cooling shade at the time the home was built.

VICTIM? of the recently reported that 57.9 nation's school children. . . children between the ages of 6 and 16. . . failed to pass physical fitness tests. We decided to follow up this rather alarming bit of information by talking with Dr. Burns of the Chiropractic Center. Dr. Burns confirmed reports that 7 out of 10 children are found to show definite spinal distortions. "Until very recently, certain spinal distortions were considered to be unfortunate but only a normal accident of nature, Dr. Burns remarked. "Extensive research has revealed that most spinal defects are NOT NORMAL and if left undiagnosed and untreated in children, are the forerunners of many serious structural spinal disorders in adults. "A spinal curvature, a pelvic tilt, a head tilt, or some other postural defect is often considered to be a trait of heredity. Actually, continued Dr. Burns, "only a very small percentage of the spinal disorders fall into this category." We asked Dr. Burns what he would attribute such spinal disorders in children. His reply was, 'The neglect of strains or sprains, or seemingly minor almost daily accidents in the life of an active child is the most frequent cause of spinal defects and disorders. Spinal defects should be detected early, Dr. Burns cautioned. "You can safeguard your child's health by including regular chiropractic check-up- s as a part of his regular health program. The earlier' such defects are detected, the more effectively they can be treated, he concluded. Don't take chances with child's your health. . . dont handicap him by neglect.
