Good Eggs Rate Lots Os TEC.’ There’s nothing so all-purpose as an egg. Eggs have been sculpted, thrown, worn, used in painting, hidden and rolled at Easter, and hung on trees at Christmas. But mostly they’re eaten. Soft-boiled egg yolk is baby’s first solid food, and eggnog—with or without “an ounce of bounce” —may sustain him in his old age. In between, he eats thousands of eggs — boiled, fried, scrambled, creamed, deviled, shirred and souffl€ed, to say nothing of the hundreds of foods eggs are mixed into—ice cream, cakes and pancakes, meat loaf, mayonnaise and Hollandaise, for instance. Nutritionists recommend an egg a day for everyone because > they’re high in prptein and supply iron and vitamins A and B-2. And they’re inexpensive to serve. There’s only one drawback to eggs—they’re delicate. They need tender, loving care. “If you submit eggs to high temperatures, the value is destroyed,” says Adelle Davis, renowned nutritionist, in her book, “Let’s Cook it Right” And any homemaker who’s had a souffle fail or a custard separate can tell you that temperature is vital in egg cookery. That’s why homemakers find eggs and automatic electric ranges a natural go-together. Accurate heat controls and automatic timers on today’s electric ranges take the trick out of egg cookery. Even beginning cooks, with the help of a good cookbook and a new electric range, can turn out delectable, nutritious egg dishes. I Eggs should be fried or scrambled in a lightly oiled skillet on a thermostatically controlled surface element set at 250-30(1 degrees. For poached eggs, water with salt or vinegar added should be brought to a boil, then the control should be set at 175-200 | before the eggs are slipped in. When making a souffle, custard, angelfood cake or other egg dish in the oven, the housewife with a new electric range has only to follow the recipe carefully, set the oven control at the right temperature and the timer at the correct cooking time. She can be assured that the food will turn out perfectly evcpy time, with no failures from uneven heat.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Exotic Pagoda-Like House Design Wins High Award in Competition

The family had a special feeling for things oriental; the architect had a flair for working with laminated wood construction. The result is an unusual house selected by Architectural Record as one of the 20 best architectdesigned homes of 1963. The roof is the dominant feature of the seven-bedroom house, designed by Jules Gregory, A.1.A., for the John E. Gombos family of Verona, N.J. From a high center peak topped by a skylight, the roof falls sharply, curves, then lifts slightly to form wide, upswept eaves. As roofing, the architect selected heavyweight white asphalt shingles for the steep section and built-up roofing for the gently sloping wings. Stucco siding and natural wood trim contribute to the oriental air. Generous window areas take advantage of the view that sweeps from the George Washington Bridge to the Statue of Liberty.. The shape of the roof also dominates the interior of the sevenbedroom house. The ceiling is of lapped cedar boards supported by curved, laminated fir beams, all with a natural oiled finish. It is reminiscent of a ship’s hull, as it curves down from the high skylight over the center of the living room. The lower sections of the roof make rooms at the side of the living room normal height. Built on two levels on a sharp slope, the house has two distinct

irW III 1 ! w PAINTING BATHROOMS When redecorating a bathroom, extra-careful attention must be given to. color selection and the proper choice of paint type. Color selection is important because our mental attitude for the entire day can be affected by how we look to ourselves in the bathroom mirror in the morning. The choice of paint color can determine whether we look ghastly or attractive. Walls painted in some yellows, greens and yellow-green reflect a most unflattering light and start us off with the wrong face. Oh the other hand, pink, rose, coral, and peach tones reflect a warm, healthful glow that starts the day off right. Pure’ green and gold are., also good color choices. Incandescent lighting is often preferred over fluorescent because some fluorescent lights drain th red from lips and complexion. Choose your lighting accordingly. If your 'heart is set on blue for the bathroom, choose blues that have some red in them: they’re warmer, and the light they reflect is more flattering than pure or greenish blues. The paint recommended by experts for bathroom walls is semigloss or gloss enamel for a number of reasons. Enanfels keep the moisture vapor created by bath and shower from entering the wallsl and damaging the the plaster. Enamels are also easy to keep clean and can be scrubbed often when it is necessary to remove the film formed by the oil in the soap. The slick surface of enamel is also more mildew resistant. It is important to use only quality enamel to insure greater durability, better color and longer hiding power. To be sure of a quality enamel, consult your local, reputable dealer. Before applying the enamel with brush, roller or spray, be sure to wash away any dirt, grease smudges or dried soap film, soap film. This is particularly important to insure good adhesion of the new enamel and to prevent peeling. Any areas that • are very glossy should be dulled with sandpaper or steel wool to make the hew coat stick better. Keep these points in mind while you do the bathroom decorating. „ 1. To make a room look larger, enamel the walls and wood trim the same color: different colors will chop the room up. 2. The ceiling can be „a different color if you wish A contrasting or’ complimentary color can be most attractive. Keep it a light tint though, for better light reflection. 3. Don’t use mpre than two accent colors in the average sized bathroom; more will be distracting in a small room.' Get your color emphasis from towels, wash cloths or shower curtain. ~ 4. Don’t overlook the accessories when you paint.

Top-Flight Kitchen Boosts Home’s Value

This country is a nation of movers. About once every ten years the average home owner pulls up stakes and moves to a different house. With this in mind, many authorities say it’s wise to buy a house with the highest possible resale value. This means house shoppers should look for highquality, low-maintenance products such as copper plumbing, weather-tight wood doors and windows and thorough, rather than minimum, insulation. An important place to look for quality is in the kitchen, which many families feel is the most important room in the house. It certainly is the most lived-in. The more modern the kitchen, the more appealing it will be to , prospective buyers in the future. A good modern kitchen is laid ouv to save extra steps, has adequate counter and storage space, and is equipped with the most up-to-date electric appliances. The big hit in today’s kitchens is the high-oven electric range. One good reason for this is the convenient, eye-level location of the oven and its controls. Another is that, although it is not actually built in, it looks it, and there’s a strong trend toward the > built-in look. There are several types of i

Quality Shingles Add Beauty to House New’ heavyweight asphalt shingles now on the market not only provide years of protection but add texture and dimension to a roof because pf their added thickness. Their extra strength makes them resistant to high winds. Quality asphalt shingles are available in a variety of colors including rich forest greens, blacks, browns, and the popular pastel shades.

Automatic Dishwashing Eliminates Viruses A scientific study of the removal of viruses during dishwashing showed conclusively that electric dishwashers when> used in t home "can be expected to reduce to a minimum those viral healt hazards due to improperly sanitized dishes.” ______

The experiments were performed by the Department of Microbiology at the University of Louisville School of Medicine under the supervision of S. Stephen Chapman, Ph D., associate professor, and Barbara Vinsel, research assistant. Among the viruses used in the tests were influenza A, mumps, herpes simplex, and polio. In testing for virus removal during hand dishwashing, the contaminated dishes were washed in water at 115 degrees Fahrenheit, using liquid detergent, rinsed in 150-degree tap-water spray for one minute, and drained dry for a half hour. When dry, dishes were immediately swabbed and assayed for live virus. "Despite the fact that all dishes were sparkling clean, mumps and influenza viruses survived this hand dishwashing procedure,” the report pointed out. “From these and other experiments it became evident that extreme care would be necessary to insure complete removal of virus from contaminated dishes during hand dishwashing. Furthermore, experiments indicated that the success of virus removal was quite variable despite the fastidiousness of the person washing OFFERS NEW ‘EXTRAS’ An automatic electric dishwasher does more than just the big job of getting dishes sparkling clean. Its fringe benefits include warming plates and keeping dirty dishes out of sight’ between meals. i

the dishes,” it stated. It was ■ different story with the automatic dishwashers. “Home dishwashing machines effectively and consistently removed all detectable influenza, mumps, herpes simplex, vaccinia, poliomyelitis and T» bacteriophage viruses from soiled dishes. These viruses were readily removed despite the fact that they were added in amounts far exceeding that expected on naturally contaminated dishes,” the report states. The report also notes that when the dishwashers were operating under recommended conditions, all influenza or mumps virus were removed from dishes even though they had been heavily soiled with egg yolk and lipstick that had been dried on for several hours. Best results were obtained when water temperatures were 150 degrees and above and when • detergents were added in both pre-rinse and wash cycles. “When used in the home these machines can be expected to reduce to a minimum those viral health hazards due to improperly sanitized dishes,” the report concluded. DESIGN FLEXIBLE Some built-in electric dishwashers can be used as freestanding models. Interchangeable left and right side panels in finishes to match fronts, and a choice of tops make for flexibility in kitchen design. —-•
