Laundry Room Saves Steps
Eggertsville, N.Y.—(U)P)-S t a i r- weary housewives in this Buffalo suburb envy a young mother who has convenience built in—a complete home laundry on the second floor within a few feet of bedrooms and bath, where most of the family's washing originates.
In a cheerful room off the second floor hall, Mrs. George D. Enos Jr., has an automatic washer and drier, with a large wash basin for woolens, within easy reach are two kitchen-type blenders, detergents, soaps, bling and brushes.
There are two working surfaces—a cupboard shelf and a table hinged to the wall. The table will support an automatic ironer.
A galvanized pipe from the drier carries off dampness and fuzz. A wall-type exhaust fan rids the room of moisture; the wall is a tiny fire extinguisher.
So streamlined is the process that Moen Ens in actual contact with the pump.
Two large windows admit air and light to the laundry. A step from the laundry door is the linen closet.

RECORD NEWS
NEW YORK — (U.P.)—Several months ago Renzo Cesana, otherwise known as "The Continental," recorded an adaptation of Walter Benton's love poem, "This Is My Beloved."
It was an excellent album even though his soft voice occasionally was drowned out by the organ music in the background. And sometimes there was a lack of transition.
Being a perfectionist, Cesana decided to make another recording and talked Colombia into going along with the idea. He re-edited the poem, substituted Tony Motolta's exotic guitar music for the organ as his background vehicle and made the new recording.
As a result, Cesana has made an even more intimate interpretation of "This Is My Beloved," and Mottola's reading of Cesana's music makes this LP album an ideal item for the discriminating collector.
Another excellent album of mood music is RCA-Victor's 12-inch LP recording of "A Melachrino Concert." George Melachrino's musicians play Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours, Guena and Guenaa and Mascagni's "Intermezzo" from "Cavalleria Rusticana," along with five other familiar melodies.
Capitol's "Moods for Starlight" also puts emphasis on romance, Francis Scott and his orchestra offer eight nostalgic songs, including "Hunted Heart," "Easy to Love" and "I'll Remember April."
Tops among the new singles is the Jimmy Boyd-Frankie Laine coupling of "Poor Little Piggy Bank" and "Let's Go Fishing" on a Colombia label.
M-G-M's "Mocking Bird Boogie" by Al Trace and his "Little Tracers" is a novel arrangement of an all-time popular classic.
Hillbilly hit of the week: "Darling Don't Pity Me" and "She Buys, Buys and Buys" by Billy Ray (Okeh).

Clothing Labels Provide Key To 'Best' Buys for Fall Season
Smart shoppers, who pride themselves on knowing what they are buying, will find it to their advantage to study the labels on clothing when they shop this fall.
It's only a matter of common sense, clothing authorities emphasize, to find out the fiber content of any item of clothing.
As most consumers know, garments containing wool must, by federal law, bear a label listing the complete fiber content. So when other fibers are added, they must be identified on this label.
Finding out about fast, important for two reasons. First, the fiber content of a fabric tells the story of a garment's service qualities and durability. Secondly, the fiber content is important when a garment is dry cleaned or altered—some garments naturally can be tailored or cleaned better than others.
Time-tested and proven, wool clothing and furnishings need no explanation to the consumer, who knows the positive qualities of wool: its durability, its absorbency, its softness, its low-resistance, the ease with which it may be dry cleaned, and its natural affinity for dyes.
Regardless of the fiber content, of course, most manufacturers who have confidence in the quality of their products, list with pride the fiber content of fabrics.
Other fabrics, new to the consumer, may require explanation. The consumer's best chance to ask questions comes, of course, when he shops.
Fabric names — like flannel, gabardine, tweed, etc.—were formerly the consumer's guide to what he was buying. All of these names meant "wool." Now, however, these terms have been adopted by the workers in garments and fabrics, leaving the fiber content label as the customer's only real guide.
Despite the publicity surrounding the new fibers, they will make up a relatively small percentage of clothing and furnishings offered for fall.
An open house for new University women will be sponsored by the YWCA from 2 to 4 p.m. today and tomorrow at the Henley House.
The Independent Student association will sponsor a "Last Nighter" street dance and mixer at 8 p.m. Wednesday in front of the Student Union.
