SECTION fi - PAGE 10 - PLAI1NOEALER HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBE Task force 28,1984 . to study transportation Gov. James R. Thompson has appointed a 15-member task force to study and suggest ways to resolve the problems of providing sufficient accessible public transportation for disabled per­ sons. "Disabled individuals are con­ fronted with obstacles and bar­ riers all day long, every day of their lives," the governor said. "We have come a long way in recognizing the problem and tear­ ing down many of these barriers, but we have yet to resolve the enormous problems of providing sufficient accessible public transportation for persons with disabilities. "The problem exists both in rural areas where there are no mass transportation systems at all, and in cities with high- developed mass transit systems where only a fraction of the vehicles are equipped to handle the special needs of handicapped persons," Thompson said. "This administration has adopted policies that have helped disabled persons live independent­ ly in their communities. Ade­ quate, accessible transportation is essential to achieving this goal." The governor has asked the Transportation for Individuals with Disabilities Task Force, which will be headed by Susan S. Suter, director of the Department of Rehabilitation Services, to report to him by March 1, 1985, with information and findings, in-, eluding: • Identification of existing rural and urban transportation ser­ vices. • Identification of the popula­ tion to be served, the level of ser­ vice needed and the resources available to provide the needed service. • Identification of accessible model programs and solutions developed in Illinois, other states and countries. • Recommendations to improve transportation services for disabl­ ed persons. MOLLY MILLIGAN Your Home Decorator I9H4 Pauv Milltgan Synriutir DO-IT-YOURSELF Dear Molly Mllltgan: I live at home and attend college locally. My bedroom is very small. In it I have a twin bed and dresser, but no desk. Is there any way I can make a desk for under fifty bucks? Justin, St. Louis, MO Dear Justin: An unfinished hollow-pore door ($20.00 to $45.00 depending on size) makes a perfect desk top. Support your door-desk on anything that measures 28-29" high. Anything higher will be too high for easy typing. A couple of second-hand file cabinets, a pair of sAwhorses, or some L-shaped brackets attached to the wall would work nicely. If a rectangular desk is/too large for your small bedroom, have your local lumber dealer cut a triangular (90°) piece of plywood and fit it in one comer of your room. Attach with wall brackets, add a chair, a good study lamp and hit the books with a vengeance. Dear Molly Milligan: My younger sister and I share a large bedroom. We get along fine, but once in a while I'd like a little privacy . Any suggestions? Heather, Austin, TX Dear Heather: "A hedge between keeps friendship green." A folding screen might do the same. One made of four or six panels could act as a "hedge" and provide you a modest refuge without crowding your room. When sisterly love abounds, your screen can be folded and stored. If you would like to make your own screen, buy a ready-to-finish screen frame from a store featuring unpainted furniture. Insert fabric of choice onto rods at top and bottom of the screen. (A light weight calico or lace fabric would, in my opinion, be just right.) Make a few toss pillows to match. Thch, when the going gets tough, put up your screen and retreat to your own private space. Freedom from intrusion is a basic human need. Dear Molly Milligan: I enjoy decorating my own home and I think I do a pretty good job of it. I read several monthly magazines and the home section of our local newspaper. Stili, I feel I need more advice about combining colors, textures, patterns. What can I read to help me fill in the blanks? Joan, Harvard, IL Dear Joan: Your Home Decorator recommends Mary Gilliatt's Mix and Match Decorating Book ($18.95) Pantheon Publications. This book is really like no other that 1 have seen. It has a unique format of flip-card samples which allow you to look at various color contrasts, texture plays and patterns with just the flip of a page. It also contains basic guidelines to help you measure for paint, tile, wallpaper and window treatments. With this book and the handy mail­ order service it includes, samples can be chosen without ever leaving home or office. In short, an entire room scheme can be devised with the flip of your wrist. It's a little treasure-trove of prudent, stylish advice. . I) you have a quest ion for Your Home Decorator, send it along with a self addressed, stamped envelope to Molly Milligan, P.O.
