F a m i l y L i f e , S a f e t y a n d Citizenship, International, Membership, and Cultural Arts. The Cultural Arts exhibits are always of great interest to the Homemakers and an especially fine exhibit of West Virginia hand-made quilts drew a constant flow of viewers. One morning was devoted to West Virginia ar- tisians exhibiting and selling their hand-crafted products. The evening programs also proved to be of great interest. Mrs. Olive Farquharsen, World President of the Association, was the key-note speaker at the opening session. She spoke of the women's organizations in Kenya, the first such work in the history of Africa. She also gave an insight on some of the problems of women in some other areas of the world. West Virginia homemakers hosted one evening program and their Mountain Heritage program will live forever in the hearts of the 2,300 Homemaker in at­ tendance. Douglas Edwards, veteran news correspondent, closed the conference with a speech entitled "What's Right About America". Accommodations at the Tower's dormitories were excellent; the meals prepared in the dorm kitchens were well- prepared, tasty and more than ample. Two campuses com­ prise the University of SENIOR CITIZENS CORNER Liven Environment Paint is the easiest and most economical way to perk up your living environment. In addition, when a room is painted with a light color, it will be safer be­ cause light-colored walls reflect more light. For example, a pale blue wall will reflect up to 75 per cent of the light back into a room. A medi­ um shade will reflect only about 40 per cent. The more light re­ flected. the safer the room, according to specialists. A ceiling painted white or near- white reflects more light from portable lamps Use translucent shades, rather than opaque to produce even better lighting. Natural colors are an easy choice but they may create a dull-looking room. A light color tint can make a room more in­ viting Light colors will also make small rooms seem larger. Paint woodwork in a small room the color of the walls to make it look even larger and less clut­ tered. Although glossy paints reflect more light, it can be distracting to the eye. so avoid using glossy paint in living areas If walls are painted a light color and then covered almost en­ tirely with dark furniture and dark pictures, the light walls are of little safety value The entire room decor must be consid­ ered -- not just the color of the walls. Morgantown, so buses were provided for the conference delegates to carry them bet­ ween the old campus in town and the newer Evans campus i out of town. This was absolutely necessary, not just because of «*the distance between buildings, but because of the hills. Morgantown is all hills, in fact the. airport is built on a mountain top! The four McHenry County delegates returned with con­ tinued enthusiasm for H o m e m a k e r s E x t e n s i o n Association and urge everyone to make plans to attend the National Conference next year July 17 to 21 to be held in Columbia, Missouri and the University of Missouri.
