KERENS (TEXAS) TRIBUNE, SEPTEMBER 13, 1957
Shutter Ideas
Add Interest
To Bedrooms
Interested in a novel, attrac-
tive, low-cost bed headboard?
Here’s an idea that has all those
features and is in step with the
current return of louver doors
and shutters to smart modern
interiors.
- Use an ordinary stock shutter,
Slightly longer than the width
of the bed (a double-bed mat-
tress is 54 inches wide). Attach
the shutter to the spring frame
by metal braces, or by a wood
framework. The shutter also can

be screwed or bolted to the wall.
Stock shutters generally are
made of ponderosa pine, an
almost-white wood that is an
excellent base for any paint or
stain-and-varnish finish that you
need to go with the bedroom
decor.
A variation of this idea is to
use a shutter as a headboard for
a youth bed, and a pair of shut-
ters for the sides, to keep the
youngster from falling out. Saw
the side shutters in half and
hinge the sections together and
to the headboard so they swing
back as shown in the sketch. At
night, each side is moored to the
bed with a hook-and-eye.
We live in a whirlpool of
meetings at our house, and it is
seldom that any one of the three
adults is attending a meeting
with another. This sort of whirl-
pool existence is being enjoyed
jor, more than likely, unenjoyed
by a great number of families,
we notice.
If meeting accomplished a par-
ticular purpose, my spinsterish
mind keeps complaining, then
there would be no cause for a
general feeling of wheel spin-
ning. We speak for ourselves,
but once in a blue moon we
leave a meeting feeling complete-
ly satisfied. In order to remain on
pleasant subjects, as this column
has been accused of being pretty
gripey, let us give you an ex-
ample of a completely satisfying
meeting attended this week.
We have rejuvenated our Bible
Study at the church. Our Bible
Studies are a good deal like
the cemetery operation or any
other continuing thing. It re-
vives and dies and revives, in a
never-ending circle. Nevertheless,
during the revival periods of
our Bible studies this column
always picks up new interpreta-
tions that have been overlooked
through several readings of the
same scriptures. There is noth-
ing so gratifying as studying
parts of the Bible with friends.
Here is one meeting we look for-
ward to with a great deal of en-
thusiasm, and a gathering from
which we depart with added
knowledge and new awareness
of the depths of Bible study. !

A person doesn’t realize how
much they miss a certain thing,
until they have done without it
awhile. Since living here, we
have foregone household chores
for the more varied aspects of
the business world. It was with
some degree of temerity that we
assumed household duties this
week—our help being on a trip.
While living in Lubbock, we were
informed, and the information
proved correct, that this per-
sonage, by and large, is the slow-
est housekeeper in the land. My
best friend, who lived two doors
down, used to clean her entire
house and put her dinner on to
cook before our beds got made.
My slowness never ceased to
amaze her. Age doesn’t seem to
help, because this week, upon as-
suming household duties, it took
this writer all morning to make
two beds, drink a cup of coffee,
answer the telephone three times,
•feed the pets, and dress the
kids. My five year old kept say-
ing, “Mamma, when are you go-
ing to get the vacuum out . . .
Mamma, you said we were going
to vacuum.” Mamma finally had
to admit she’s even slower than
of yore. This is known as going
from bad to worse,, no doubt.
Never have figured how my red-
headed friend could get so much
done in one morning and still
have time to stay over at our
house two hours chatting!
