| SOLAR HEAT

Solar heating is here to
slay! Of course the heat
from the sun has warmed
our planet from the begin-
ning of time; however, this
same source of heat is just
now being used to warm
modern homes.

Most solar heated homes
are custom built with the
solar heating system adding

, $2,000 to $6,000 to the

construction cost. However,
by using the principles of
solar heating, you can warm
some of ihe rooms of your

house and cut down on your ©

dora of electricity,

Many rooms have win-—

dows which face south,
receiving sunlight and
warmth most of the day. To
tetain this heat, cover the
windows with insulated
shutters or drapes after the
sun sets. This can also be
done to windows which face
west and receive intense
afternoon sun,

_ Paint an outside masonry
wall of your home that faces
south with black or very
dark paint. Place a pane of
glass in front of thé wall,
leaving a few inches of space
between the glass and wall to
trap the ehat. As the sur
disappears, some of the
trapped heat will be ab-
sorbed: through the walls

_ This the concept used’ in
constructing solar heating
systems. A house is designed
with a roof that slants to the
south, The roof is painted
black and covered with a

.pane of glass, The heat

trapped between the roof
and glass is transmitted into

of rocks or a water tank
located under the house.
The storage unit releases the
heat slowly in the same way

A Home for Your Plants

The container you select
for your plants is all-impor-
tant... after all, that's
home to your green-leaved
friends!

Experts say you can't go

_ wrong with those old-fash-

ioned, unglazed clay pots.
Water evaporates through
the sides, helping roots to
stay cooler. -

Plastic pots are less ex-
pensive and lighter, but they
should have drainage holes,
plant experts warn.

Redwood containers are .

good for outdoor use, as

they ure rot-resistant and

durable.

If you've been gifted with
a beautiful container that
doesn't feature drainage, put
your plant. in a shightly
smaller clay pot that can sct
inside your decorative pot.

that a sidewalk which is still
warm in ‘the evening after a
hot day releases the heat it
has absorbed.

’ Even with a solar heating

system, most houses use a
conventional] heating system
as a back-up for days when
there is not enough sunlight
to warm a house.

Wide-Open ‘Sun Country’ Kitchen
Has Do-It-Yourself Storage .|deas

A national magazine has
come up with a “sun
country’ adobe-styled
kitchen, chock-full of
practical and inexpensive
ideas youcan use to improve
efficiency and increase

materials and earth tones in

Almond-colored appli-

kitchen featured in ‘the
February issue of “Family
Circle” magazine include a

self-cleaning range with |

range hood, a 12-cycle
dishwasher, food waste
disposer, built-in trash
compactor, and a no-frost
refrigerator-freezer with

exterior ice and water
service.
‘ Also included is a

mobile on a roll-about cart
which has storage space for
other small‘appliances, and
which can itself be tucked
into an under-counter
storage area. ‘

An alcove at one end of
the kitchen keeps the large-

‘capacity washer and dryer

convenient, yet out of sight
with the help of colorful
folding panels.

The kitchen's wide-
openness fits current trends,
according to Hotpoint
kitchen-planning manager
William J. Ketcham, as do
the “how-to” projects which
the magazine incorporated
into it.

Some of these ideas for

improving kitchenefliciency
are exposed natural wood
shelves where often-used
items are within eye view
and arm's length; a pantry,

hidden behind easy-to-make |

lattice doors; a built-in desk

for the busy homemaker, -

and an. adjacent slotted
storage area for trays,
cooling racks, cookie sheets,
or other storable items,

* Safety Tip:
Scatter rugs can: be
‘dangerous to have around
the house if they're not
firmly secured.

Use two-sided rug and
carpet tape to keep rugs
securely on the floor,
