Room Dividers:

Practical and Decorative Solution

Many of our homes are not
as spacious as we would like
them to be and in order to
define areas as to their specific
use, we use dividers,

} A divider can simply be an
article of furniture placed in
such a way as to create another
“Room.” For example, ifa sofa
or loveseat is placed away from
a wall the area behind it
becomes available to use for
other purposes,

Low book shelves, cabi-
nets, credenzas, desks and sofa
tables are pieces that could be
backed up to the sofa to form a
study area, a specific eating
area or just a little retreat with
a single chair, table and lamp
for reading or hobbies.

When the space that furni-
ture would take up is not avail-
able a hanging divider becomes
more suitable. Open-weave fab-
ric that has no right or wrong
side, hemmed at the top and
bottom and held taut by
wooden or decorative rods and
hung by hooks or chains is very
attractive,

If a bold print, stripe or
geometric patterned fabric is
used it can be the means to
unifying several plain colors in
walls, rugs, drapes and furni-
ture and thus creates a bright
atmosphere and can be used as
a focal point to give a room

“personality.”

Room dividers that would
add architectural interest could
be done with ceiling-to-floor
beams or posts finished with a
dark stain and left with a rough
natural texture, covered with
burlap wallpaper or fabric, or
even mirrored, These can be
placed within inches apart to

+ form more of a “wall” or several
feet apart just to give the
illusion of a wall and. still
‘maintain an open and airy
feeling.

In This Speech, MEW a Lot to Do

In a very real sense, as

MEW has a lot to do with CAT.
Officials also say it’s a pity GOI
can't get along with GOE.

and, in the sense that no nation
has infinite wealth, the money
spent on arms can't be spent on
food and housing, two items
which go to make up a new
measurement of national
wealth, measurable economic
welfare, or MEW.

GOE (which, ironically, is a
variation on the spelling of the
Yiddish word for a non-Jew) is
how state department tele-
grams refer to the government
of Israel. GOE, of course, is the
yovernment of Egypt.

Initials can be used as
verbs, as well as nouns, in this
kind of buro-speak. It would be
an absolute nightmare, in state
department terms, were a
DCM to be PNGed.

DCM is deputy chief of
mission, the number-two man
in any embassy, and to be
declared Persona Non Grata is
to be thrown out of the host
country for some offence, real
or imagined.

Nothing seems to produce
acronyms faster than the field
of arms control. In a recent
seminar on the SALT (strategic
arms limitation talks), a speak-
er recently uttered the follow-
ing sentence: “ALPS, of course,
is just a quick-fix MAP, since
both could be described as an
MX.” Everybody around the
table nodded gravely.

The subject was a mobile
missile that the United States
wants to build (or MX, for
short). Multiple aim point, or

than MRV (multiple re-entry

tricky as MARV (manuverable
re-entry vehicle}.

The United Nations bears
a heavy responsibility for a
whole family of jargonized ini-
tials and acronyms. It is pos-
sible to say, and be understood,
by fellow jargon speakers: “The

Germans Took Cobalt
But Gold Of No Interest «

A Toronto dentist heads a
syndicate that controls a gold
and silver mine in Mexico that
provided a secret source of
cobalt to the German war
machine before the Second
World War.

Dr. Bill Fleming says the
syndicate—operators of Blyth-
wood Mining Ltd.—will develop
the Senora, Mexico-located
mine with the help of $100,000
from the Roman Corp. Ltd., a
Toronto holding company.

The mine was tunnelled by
the Germans in 1936 and the

range in material from light
rattan to solid carved oak,
spindled or screened, natural or
laquered and hand-painted.
There are many ways to make a
folding sereen of your own, but
basically and in its simplest
form a screen consists of three
“doors” hinged together that
stand when opened to about a
90-degree angle.

A folding screen can easily
be made by purchasing normal
bi-fold closet doors and hinging
them together. The solid ones
covered with wall coverings
and possibly trimmed with
molding can set a very formal
atmosphere to any room.

Don't forget a divider has
two sides which can be deco-
rated to suit the side of the
room it faces.

To get away from a solid
divider, try hinging three or
more frames. together with
fabric stretched or gathered

inside the frames. Don't forget

the benefits of the staple gun, A
very talented person could also
macrame inside the frame for a
custom look,

Finally, in addition to
many ideas that are not men-
tioned at this time, we can't
overlook the use of plants as
dividers. Whether tall, on

stands, or hanging they can.

Hydro Gets Go-Ahead
For Revelstoke Dam

British Columbia Hydro
has received final approval to
build the controversial $1.2
billion Revelstoke Dam.

H. D. DeBeck, provincial
water rights comptroller, says
in a letter to Labor Minister
Allan Williams that a water
licence, earlier issued to Hydro
authorizing construction of a
hydro-electric dam near Revel-
stoke, has been amended to
incorporate the terms of the
Cabinet Appeal Committee de-
cision of June 23.

The letter was made public
last Thursday.

Williams is chairman of a
special cabinet appeal com-

mittee which ruled Sept. 12,
1977, that the hydro-electric
project could proceed with only
minor changes made to the
conditional water licence De-
Beck granted Hydro in Decem-
ber, 1976.
The committee did not
issue a final decision until last
June pending negotiations be-
tween Hydro and Canadian
Cellulose Ltd. which opposed
the licence.

Also appealing the licence
were the Scientific Pollution
and Environmental Controls
Society, the B.C. Wildlife Fed-

eration and West Kootenay.

Brew Lovers’ Thirst
Soon to be Quenched

The shutdown of British
Columbia's four major brew-
eries that began three months
ago ended last Thursday and
workers were expected to
return to work immediately.

The settlement came after
meetings between union lead-
ers and Labatt’s Brewery in
Victoria, over problems con-
nected with the return to work.

Brewery workers in Vie-
toria, the Vancouver area and
Creston had voted last Wed-
nesday to accept a new two-
year contract with the com-
panies. Brewers said last Thurs-
day a memorandum of agree-
ment was signed at noon and
companies were taking steps to
recall employees.
