Individuality
Important In
Home Decor
It's the age of individuality,
• specially in home accessories,
announces M's. Jan Slahaugh.
Extension housing and home fur-
nishings specialist By using a
few well-chosen accessories, Mrs
Slahaugh says that you can spaik
a room with personality
Several trends are showing up
in home accessories. Ethnic and
handcrafted items, as well as
chrome and plexiglas, remain
popular, the specialist notes,
while bronze, brass ami pewter
finishes are focusing into atten-
tion Wall tapestries and hang-
ings, which create a focal point
in rooms and entries, are also
"aining popularity Candloa con-
tinue to be popular, especially
with the young.
To retain an individual look,
Mrs. Slahaugh suggests mixing
the old with the new — combine
antiques, vinyls, plexiglas. chrome
and other now finishes. For ex-
ample, mount original wooden
plates, which were once used for
printing wallpaper, in chrome
frames for use in picture group-
ings.
Creating harmony in a decora-
tive scheme requires careful
planning, she cautions. Choose
and place your useful accessories
first, then add others. Use only
accessories that serve a purpose
and are of good design.
To determine if an accessory
has a good design, study the
linrs of the item. TTiey should
be simple and relate to the ob-
ject's over-all shape. The lines
should carry the eye easily from
one part to another, and the
various shapes of these different
parts of the item should be in
good proportion to one another.
Antique shopping often helps
the consumer find unique acces-
sories. But one visit isn't enough;
search in several antique shops
and flea markets for tliat special
object which stamps your per-
sonality on a room, Mrs. Sla-
haugh adds.

Veterans Hit High
Of 28.2 Million
The number of American vet-
erans hit a high of 28.2 million
this month, the Veterans Ad-
ministration announced today.
The VA said the number of
living veterans is likely to con-
tinue to increase in the foresee-
able future since the military
discharge rate has been running
over 80,000 a month and older
veterans have been dying at a
rate of about 26,000 a month.
Of VA's 28.2 million veter-
ans, some 25.1 million served
during a wartime period and an
additional 3.1 million served
after the Korean conflict and
before the Vietnam Era-Feb. I,
1955 to Aug. 4, 1964 inclusive.
Most of the million veterans
now in training under the post-
Korean G.l. Bill served during
the Vietnam Era (after Aug. 4,
1964) and this group also makes
up the large bulk of those now
applying for G.l. loans.
In contrast, these young Viet-
nam Era veterans compose only
15 percent of the patients in VA
hospitals, and about 10 percent
of those on the disability com-
pensation rolls.
