PAGE 4 -PLAINDEALER- TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1983 Gift who|e family will appreciate Melodious storybooks for Christmas Both husband and wife work outside the home in more than 50 percent of all U.S. households, which means that most homes are as busy as Santa's work­ shop year round. Ideal gift A good Christmas gift for these families -- where men, women and children are likely to share home- making responsibilities -- is one that performs routine tasks simply and effi­ ciently, thus saving pre­ cious personal time for family members. A dishwasher is one such gift. This liberating appli­ ance reduces the amount of time needed for kitchen cleanup,'and can save a family the equivalent in time of a three-week vaca­ tion every year. That's how many days, on average, Maytag says it takes annu­ ally to wash dishes by hand. Choice of styles There are two kinds of dishwashers available, con­ vertible and built-in models. For on-the-go families who rent or live in temporary housing, a convertible model that rolls up to the sink for hookup may be the answer. It requires no permanent plumbing, but it provides all the washing features of a built-in unit. Later, when you're settled into a perma­ nent home, the convertible model can be built in under a counter. On the other hand, a built-in model is a perma­ nent installation from the start that has the advantage of blending in with kitchen cabinetry and is readily ac­ cessible, since such a unit is usually installed next to the sink. Contemporary time-savers Dishwashers save time for busy families and to­ day's new units also will get dishes cle^n without pre- rinsing. Features like Mi­ cro-Mesh self-cleaning filters and high velocity wa­ ter action assure dishes that are cleaner than hand­ washed, but With considera- * 4 bly less effort on the part of family members. Good washability means that breakfast dishes placed in the dishwasher and run through a rinse cycle will come clean later in the day when the dinner dishes are added. This not only helps keep kitchen clutter in the dish- wadier during the day, it saves energy and water be­ cause the dishwasher needs only to be operated once in a complete cycle. f i - Six unique new story­ books that actually play mu­ sic -- the Golden Melody books -- are now available from the publishers of Golden® books, known worldwide for their well- loved children's books. As the Golden Melody book is opened, children's familiar songs or favorite Christmas carols begin to play. Musical interlude When the family gathers around the tree and gifts are unwrapped, the music from these storybooks will fill the room. To a child, the con­ cealed electronic sound technology seems like magic. Two Christmas titles,Si­ lent Night ana We Wish You a Merry Christmas, with heavy board pages that unfold into a four-foot panoramic dis­ play, are available, as well as four other titles playing the favorite tunes: "Old Mac Donald Had a Farm," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," the Alphabet bookstores, department Song" and "Rock-a-Bye stores and discount and Baby." drugstore chains across the Y o u c a n f i n d t h e m i n c o u n t r y .
