" Baskets Back in Decor

There has recently been a
‘rush’ on the market of basket:
ware. This could be due to the
fact that rattan and wicker
furniture is influencing the
decorating scene once again,

At one time, baskets were
used mainly for bables and
laundry or for bread and,
occasionally, a waste basket,
but their uses have been multi-
plied greatly due to the fact
that we can now get baskets in
every conceivable size and
shape, with handles, lids and
cushions, ‘

Since we can think of uses
for baskets in every room of the
house, let's go through one
room at a time and list them,

Living Room

Pat your plants in baskets
(the pots and drain dishes that
ist Baskets are not water
proofl), Place them in a Ifttle
group on the floor or’ hang
them,

Put magazines in them,
rolled up into a round basket or
laid flat in a rectangle one. Two
or, three baskets with lids, in
front of your furniture, makes
good bunching tables, as well as
storage for records, hobbies, or
games,

A long basket with a lid,
covered with heavy glass, adds
more stability for a coffee table,
and is easier to keep clean,

A basket with a little
handle is also handy for bring:
ing in kindling or small logs for
the fireplace.

Dining Room

Consider baskets lined

* with linen for bread. Baskets
are also available for your hot
potato, your plate, your glass,
or’ as a centrepiece arranged
with dried flowers, fruit or
candles,

A basket tray which
divided into long sections
ideal for holding silverware
when serving a buffet, espe-
cially for an outdoor barbeque.
There are also baskets made to

hold your wine bottle to make
serving easier. The basket
trays are very serviceable,
usually have a good edge, and
aren't as heavy as other trays
for their size,
Kitchen

Hang a little basket on the
wall near the phone for pencils
and a note pad. A basket near
the stove ean be a holder for all

your wooden spoons and wire

isks. Keep a small basket
with paper napkins handy for
snacks or on the table during
supper.

Consider the use of baskets
for carrying around household
cleaning aids for dusting, shin-
ing and picking up.

Bathroom

Baskets of various sizes
can hold extra soaps, brushes
and combs, cotton balls, make-
up or nail care items. Bunch all
the men’s shaving equipment
and aftershave into a basket
with a handle and store under

the sink... it's all brought out
at once and (hopefully) put back
together!

Towels rolled up "and
placed in baskets’ are very
attractive, with varying sizes to
accommodate the various sizes
of hand towels and wash
clothes. Laundry hampers come
in many sizes, including tall
round ones that fit nicely into a

a

small corner, are light and easy
to carry to the laundry room.
B

jedroom

For the apartment dweller
or single person just starting
out, consider the basket
“trunks”. They stack and store,
can be placed at the foot of the
bed, used as footstools or
benches and make moving a
breeze!

A basket can also be used
to store that extra blanket or
pillow and be placed by the
bedside. If it isn't sturdy
enough for a lamp, consider a
piece of glass for the top.

European Honeymoon Follows
Reese-Mills Sum

A honeymoon trip to En-
gland, Switzerland, Austria and
France followed the pretty
summer wedding on Aug, 12 of
Sharon-Lee Mills, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Mills, and
Kevin Reese, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Reese.

The Castlegar families
were united in a late-afternoon
ceremony conducted by Rev.
Ted Bristow at St. David's
Anglican Church, its altar deco-
rated with baskets of peach and
white carnations.

“Praise My Soul” and “Ave
Maria" were the musical sele-
etions played by organist Mrs.
Scarff of Pass Creek.

Given in marriage by her
parents, the radiant bride wore
a full-length gown of silk over-
layed with organza and lace,
falling gracefully to form a long
train. The bodice was styled
with a scoop neckline, and a
ruffle of organza and the long
lace sleeves gathered at the
wrists into ruffles.

Her Juliette cap of lace and
seed pearls secured the bouf-
fant waist-length veil of net and
she carried a bouquet of peach

. roses, white daisies and baby's

pen-

dant, a gift from her parents.
Long, peasant-style dress-

es in coral tones, were worn by
the bride's attendants. Matron
of honor was Mrs. Zella Ozeroff
of Pass Creek, and bridesmaids
were Laurie Wickett of Castle-
gar, Evelyn Kinakin of Castle-
gar and Anne-Marie Feeley of

‘
L

Quesnel. Each wore a floppy
hat to mateh her dress and
earried a bouquet of coral and
white daisies,

Mr. Doug Bigsby of Van-
couver was best man, and
ushering were Messrs. Law-
rence Gordon of Calgary, Mar-
tin Mills of Vancouver and
Grant Ackney of Castlegar.

Coral and white wedding
theme colors were featured in
the decor of the reception area
of the Hi Arrow Arms Motor
Hotel, where the bride's mother
helped to receive guests wear-
ing a dress of deep blue poly-
ester knit, in a blouson style
with a full flowing skirt. Her
jewelry consisted of a beautiful
ruby pendant with matching
earrings, and she carried an
orchid tinted to match her
dress, i

The groom's mother was
dressed in a teal green dress
and jacket ensemble, trimmed
with matching fur and accented
with a white orchid corsage.

Highlighting the head table
was the wedding cake, iced in
traditional white and decorated

Completing the table decor
was a beautiful centrepiece of
roses and carnations, with
white candles in silver candle-
holders — a gift from a friend of
the family, Wendy Ferguson
Davie.

Mr. John Feeley of Ques-
nel was master of ceremonies,
reading congratulatory tele-
grams from England, Toronto,
Australia and Elyria, Ohio.

Out-of-town guests were
from Victoria, Vancouver, Elk-
ford, Quesnel, Trail; Spokane,

h.; Saskatchewan, Alberta
and Ohio.

Prior to the departure of
the newlyweds, the bride don-
ned a salmon pink dress with
black accessories.

CASTLEGAR NEWS
For Your Carsier

Baskets hung in a closet
can hold socks, underwear,
scarves, belts and jewelry.

Children's Rooms.

Baskets are delightful used
as toy chests, or to divide the
little blocks and cars and keep
doll clothes together. A simple
shelf unit with a place for each
basket will be attractive and
help keep toys separate and
easier to pick up,

Consider painting baskets
bright colors to designate their
specific use or simply to fit in
with the color scheme.

Back Entrance

Hang baskets for hats,
mitts and scarves or one basket
for each child's outer wear.

Outdoors

Baskets, like the one de-
signed for fishing, can make an
attractive mail box, Use bas-
kets for plants at your front
door, Put in potted plants in
summer and potted evergreens
in the winter.

A handled basket for carry-
ing around garden tools and
gloves is a boon to many a
gardener. Basket furniture is
ideal for outdoors and is fast
becoming more popular because
it is equally at home indoors in
the winter.

Test No Longer
Prerequisite

Special examinations in‘

English will no longer be re-
quired for Schoo) District No. 9
scholarship candidates, local
trustees decided last week.

The’ board approved as
policy its scholarship commit-
tee’s recommendation that the
examination be discontinued
but in order to ‘qualify for the
$1,000 scholarships, of which
two will be awarded this year, a
student must have a “C" aver-
age in English.

According to the policy
approved by trustees, the
year's average of marks would
be used to establish eligibility
for scholarship. Physical edu-
cation standing will not be con-
sidered although art and band
marks, from examinations in-
cluding both theory and prac-
tice, will be considered.

In response to a committee
request that he seek education
ministry clarification on the
payment of the scholarships,
district superintendent John
Holden said the money would
be paid directly to the student
rather than a post-secondary
education institution.

The district scholarships
are based on past performance
rather than plans for further
education, Holden said.
