Jingles only when masculing colors
such as deep blues and reds are
used, according to the painting
contractors.
So marked is the influence of
color in our surroundings on our
well-being that hospital authorities
have found it is an important new
factor In the decoration of hospital
rooms. Patients have fodnd to re-
act more readily to treatment in
rooms that are better suited to
their color senses.
Housewives who can'* decide
what color to have their rooms
painted may at least get a clue
from results of a color psychlogy
test conducted to determine the
value of weight to color. The ex-
periment was made on workers
carring boxes all day; some boxes
were painted white, some black.
It was found that Workers carrying
black boxes were more tired at the
end of the day than those carrying
white boxes.
The housewife may not want her '
rooms painted white or black, but
consideration of the Importance of
color in every day living is needed,
the painting contractors point out.
And in the language of the new
crop of tepn-agers, if your kitchen
isn't painted pink, it isn't "cherry”,

The white kitchen used to be
Americanism as familiar as hot-
dogs; a few years back it was yellow

Man In A Raincoat
An off-trail song with an unusual
vocalist is making history in the
popular music business these days.
The song is "The Man In A Rain-
coat"... a moody, vainy-day sort of
song. The singer is pretty Priscilla
Wright of Canada.
In three months Priscilla's rendi-
tion of "The Man In A Raincoat" be-
came Canada's first all-native talent
hit tune ... and is working its way up
to the top ten lists in the United
States.
Priscilla is just 14 years old. She
still wears braces on her teeth. She
is a sophomore at Medway High
School in London. Ont., and has an
85 per cent average, likes household
economics best after music, and un-
til last New Year's Day hardly even
knew she had a voice.
Her father. Don Wright, a well-
known Candian choral conductor,
arranger and band leader, says, “it
all started on New Year’s Eve. We
were having our own little family
party, and we all took turns enter-
taining .Priscilla is studying to be a
pianist, and Just about the only
singing she did when we sang grace
at the dinner table. Well, this New
Year's Eve she sang Blue Moon' In
A-Flnt. And it sounded profession-
al.”
After that Priscilla marie her pro-
fessional debut singing four bars on
a radio advertising Jingle. That did
it. Her voice attracted the attention
of a record company.
The pretty teen - ager says she
went over 120 songs before she de-
cided on the four tunes she would
record three months ago.
Her father says “we decided on
'Man Tn A Raincoat' because it was
different."
Now her rendition is pushing the
magic million mark in sales, and is
outselling nil versions by state,-side
fingers in the United States.

when nre ;tened with a few drops of

f;xiug fea'iue, these plastic shelves
and hooks arc called Selfix.
