Page 4 THE WILLIAMS LAKE TRIBUNE Wednesday, December 9, 1959 Upkeep important consideration for ree. room EASY UPKEEP is the key word when you plan your re creation room. Unlike the liv- ing room, where practicaln is frequently sacrificed for the sake of appearance, your re- creation room should require minimum upkeep. The nice thing is that you needn't sacri- fice attractiveness. Choose your wall and ceiling surfaces carefully, wood panel- ing is the prime favorite. If you have a fireplace you might break the monotony of wood by facing the fireplace wall with ceramic tile. In planning your tile wall, introduce flashes of bright color by “spotting” the wall with a variety of jewel- colored tiles. Once installed there will be no upkeep and your unusual wall will be focal point of your room. Select practical fabrics sturdy furniture. An old door, supported with short legs, will double as a fireplace seat and on or coffee table. Cover large airfoam cushions with bright, striped sailcloth or denim. These can act as cushions on your fireplace seat, or be tossed on the floor for the small fry to curl up on. Keep a supply of dishes, a kettle, a double burner cooking unit in your recreation room. Half the joy of your fun room will be lost if you have to dash upstairs when the family demands a round of hot choco- late and a late evening snack. Resist the temptation to move in all the discarded furniture the | from |Leave |around, to dance, play games.

But beware of scatter rugs in the rest of the room. Bright, clear colours are re- commended and use lots of yellow if your room tends to be dark. You will have extra in- terest in the textural contrast of the soft glow of your wood paneling and the gleaming sur- face of your fireplace wall of ceramic tile. Most of all, your recreation Hunting not as it used the idea from his mipd when he reads of others being shot by some trigger-happy seeker, here are some reassuring words. The sport — in British Col- umbia at least — isn’t as dang- erous as it used to be. “Not that we're nappy with the number of accidents,” says Dr. James Hatter, chief biologist of the B.C. Fish and Game branch, “But the fact remains that the liklihood of a hunter being shot has decreased over the years.” PROPORTION DROPS Figures support Dr. Hatter’s statement. More than 20 per- sons have died in hunting acci- dents in B.C. over the last three years, but the proportion of ac- For the man who would like , of to go hunting but puts dangerous as | fo be | the estimated number of hunters was 26,000 in 1957, 98,000.
