'MLMou In the kitchen, Mom says, "Time for dinner." Dad in his workshop, Junior in hisr bedroom and Sis on the patio get the message. Communicating quickly with any member of the family is one of- the recognized advantages of home intercom systems. Checking on children's activities and whereabouts, monitoring a sleeping infant or talking from the kitchen to a caller at the front door are other uses and conveniences that make intercoms a popular feature in new homes--and a subject of interest to improvement- minded homeowners. Intercom systems can be added to many existing homes, and in most cases, the bulk of the installation can be handled by an experienced do-ityourselfer. Some systems have been specially designed for ease of installation and come with complete installation instructions. Among these are electronic sound systems with a new dimension -- built-in music. Starting with the FM/AM radio, an integral part of most modern built-in sound systems, the music potential now goes on to include hi-fi, stereo or tape recorder jacks in the more deluxe systems. This provides, in addition to the many intercom functions, the ability to pre-select entertainment sound and pipe it through the house -- to a party in the game room, to youngsters on the patio, even to Dad in his garage workroom. One deluxe music/intercom Includes an FM/Ato radio at the master control station and plug-in jacks for hi-fi, stereo and other sound inputs, which can be heard through as many as 10 remote stations. For added convenience, there is a portable remote station which can be plugged into an ordinary electrical outlet anywhere in the house. The key to the new entertainment function of much music/intercom systems is the use of transistorization which, in addition to high quality music capability, permits safe, low-voltage operation at less than pennies per day. Now It's Easier To Wallpaper One of the quickest ways to "remodel" a room is with new wallpapers. Colorful wallpaper can help complete room remodeling projects in decorative fashion, or, where the budget does not permit a structural changeover, skillful use of color and pattern in wallpaper will "remodel" a room's appearance. For the do-it-yourselfer, innovations in wallpaper serve to make life much easier. Factory pasted and trimmed papers speed up the job of hanging, and those not pretrimmed need little work to be made ready. Plastic coated paper is fast becoming a favorite. The coating seals in color, and makes spot cleaning easy. Yet another innovation is removable wallpaper. Special lining goes between paper and wall. When it's time to repaper, just loosen a corner of the wallpaper and peel it olf. uwc MUSIC IN WORKSHOP or a quick call to dinner conies from intercom remote station built Jnto walls of basement or garage.
