•w I Good Things From Fibrous food wastes such as corn husks pose no drain problem when they are run through a Maytag food waste disposer. As any plumber will tell you, a clogged drain is one of the most frequent problems encountered by a housewife who uses a disposer. Maytag disposers, however, are equipped with surgi­ cal steel cutting knives that continually chop fibrous material into small particles that are easily handled by a kitchen drain. A line of food waste dis­ posers, at new product from Maytag, the famous laundry ap­ pliance firm, is now available at Carey Appliance, 1241 Green St. A large sound-silencing grinding cH&mber and a pos­ itive-pressure water seal, de­ signed to prevent water leaks to the motor, highlight the new line of jam-resistant disposers. Two batch-feed models (FB- 10 and FB-20) have circular magnets in the lid for starting the units and two continuous- feed models (FC-10 and FC- 20) rely on external switches. One model of each type includes a special foam styrene sound shield. Internal components of the four models are identical. • Components for fine grind­ ing of food wastes are of non- rust materials and grind to un­ iform small size all types of food wastes, from the softest tomatoes to the hardest bones. S w i v e l - m o u n t e d i m p e l l e r arms are designed to rebound from hard objects and make the unit virtually jam-free. Polyurethane cushions are pro­ vided to absorb noise from the rebounding impeller arms. Other features of the units are a stainless steel sink flange that fits all standard sink open­ ings, a rind positioner to move large food wastes toward the shredder ring, a drain connec­ tion to fit all built-in dishwash­ ers and a heavy-duty, thermo- protected one-half horsepower motor with double motor bear­ ings for longer life. All Have Plans For Kitchens When it's time to remodel the kitchen, then it's time to call a family conference. Naturally, everybody has a real interest in the kitchen, the source of all that good food. But family concern for the kitchen goes beyond this basic. A well-planned kitchen is a room the whole family can use, so it's wise to get opin­ ions at the outset. What should the new kitchen include? . Decor Counts The food preparation area, the food storage area and the clean-up area come first, of course. Good kitchen design brings dishwasher-sink, re­ frigerator-freezer and oven- surface cooking units togeth­ er in close harmony. What's more, modern work- saving appliances pay atten­ tion to color and design, in ways that fit any decor. And that leads to another point. The kitchen should be attrac­ tive. Family preferences come into play here. What shall be the color scheme? Shall the walls be paneled, painted, papered? What should be done about floor and ceiling? Discussion -- with some compromises, no doubt -- should help the family come up with a general plan. To some extent, decorating will be determined by the other functions of the kitchen. If space is available, choice may be a kitchen that dou­ bles as a family room. The family room-kitchen is a fa­ vorite in many new homes, and it's often possible to cre­ ate such a setting in an older home. Family Pool Wins in Summer Every summer, the back­ yard slash-in is making more of a splash. Estimates of the number of backyard pools -- perma­ nently excavated -- are now as high as 650,000. Then there are an estimated two and a half million above-ground pools--and that doesn't even include portable wading pools, notes the National Swimming Pool Institute. How to get-the most out of a swimming pool -- and how to use it safely -- are two prime considerations with families who now have, or ,4are planning to install, a backyard pool. Here are some suggestions for safety in the swim: 1. Maintain a pool on a regular schedule. That means checking chlorine contest, vacuuming the pool and gen­ erally cleaning up. 2. Provide supervision for swimmers, especially chil­ dren. But even adults should­ n't swim unaccompanied. 3. If only one person is present to supervise, limit the number of guests according­ ly. Again, this applies espe- [ ciallv to children and .their 'youthful visitors. Planning the right sur­ roundings for the pool can add to family enjoyment. Fencing for both safety and beauty and attractive land­ scaping are important. The landscaping might consist of portable planters or tubs, filled with greenery, or shrubs planted against the fence. Or, for waterproof and carefree gardening, the Ori­ ental approach -- mostly stones and statues--could be used. Poolside furniture for fam­ ily dining or entertaining needs to be practical as well as good-looking. Leading a splash-proof ex­ istence during casual hours around the pool are sun lounges, chaises and chairs with frames of wrought iron or tubular aluminum. New seating materials, too resist weather and water. Vinyl cushions welcome the swimmer who's ready to re­ lax. Vinyl webbing, metal mesh and simulated cane are .Other txpes. of .seating suit­ able for poolside use. Appliances Help A desk-study area, which Mom can use for household planning and the youngsters for homework, is another possibility. Even the smallest kitchen should have room for a bulletin board and message center. An informal dining area continues to be one of the most popular kitchen addi­ tions. In the smaller kitchen, the choice could be a break­ fast bar. Some extra attractions of the kitchen come from mod­ ern appliances -- for in­ stance, a range with its own hot water tap or a refriger­ ator-freezer with an exterior dispenser for chilled water or ice cubes. To create the custom look, there are a variety of wall ovens and cooktop units. Ben ArVidson&Sons Inc.
