PAGE TWO EVENING HERALD, SHENANDOAH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, GIlBERTOil HEWS By MRS. JOHN GU1LKUNST 34 Long Row Fbone 674-M Homemaking Spot a Necessity Tells How to Get For Daytime Appearances Daylight Best Makeup Aid (1 I 1 I Swimming Around the TV Channels By FRED DANZIG NEW YORK (UPI) Summer TV has shown us just about all it has to offer, I guess, so this is as good a time as any to vote for "best" of the season. My vote goes to the Andy Williams Show on CBS-TV. With two shows gone, it is clear that Andy has a show that is as informal as Brigitte Bardot's last beach party. Also, it is fresh.

It swings. It experiments. Tuesday night, for example, a successful experiment involved an Americanized version of a Japanese kabuki dance, in which Mi-yoshi Umeki sang, "they Can't Take Thaf Away From Me." Not experimental but charming nonetheless was Andy's duet with Miss Umeki in "Getting To Know You." The comedy highlight, to my mind, was the br(ief bit by mimic Frank Gorshin the rolie of Boris Karloff playing opposite a recording of Sir Cedric Hard-wicke in Ibsen's "Enemy of the gpeople." Actually, the show is two shows in one. Andy features "The World of LP's," a segment that samples some off-beat record albums and finds song-and-dance inspiration in them. It's a solid hunk of entertainment and deserves to be preserved after the summer.

The credit for all this goes to Andy, who has a pleasing manner and is a swinging, tasteful singer; producer Perry Lafferty, director Norman Jewison, choreographer Peter Gennaro, music director Jack Kane Co. They get my vote and my thanks for making summertime Tuesday nights one hour of it, at any rate look like fall and winter TV at its best. Short Shots: Steve Canyon Tuesday night dealt with a crippled jet that landed on a foam-covered landing strip. Not a civilian in sight along the runway, though. The Kingston Trio spanked some life into the Jimmie Rodgers Show.

In the same show on NBC-TV, Jill Corey went sexy in a torch song but still looked too sweet for the role the mother, daughter Comedy team of Betty and Jan Rhodes was squeezed of) the Andy Williams Show Tuesday night when the show ran behind time. Latest building trend calls for a floor plan including a homemaking area for the mistress of the house. This lovely homemaker's corner occupies a nook of the family room and features a built-in desk and sewing counter. Sewing machine is mounted on a heavy hinged board which folds back into the wall, leaving the counter clear for other uses. Durable Douglas fir, satin smooth, was used for all cabinetry and painted a cheery rose to enliven the spot and underline it as a feminine possession.

The Most House For Your Money Planning to have a custom home built? A basic pointer to keep in mind is that all successful houses are designed from the inside out, each one tailored to the exact measure of a family and its indi vidual way of life. In order to make a good plan. says "Today's Home" magazine, you should first list the absolute minimum number of rooms needed and their approximate size. These may be varied later but, as a starter, their total areas will give a preliminary idea of the overall size of the house. Areas are important because most builders today figure on a cost-per-square-foot basis which will vary from $10 to $18 depending on where you live," the maga zine says.

"Any reliable contractor will furnish unit prices in your lo cality. Apply them to your plan I ana una out wnetner you re within the proposed budget or whether you've overshot the mark. 'If you're out of line, look for ways to bring the plan down to size. This may mean combination rooms, a living-dining area, a kitchen-family room or one bedroom that also serves as a guest-sitting room. These are all a part of modern planning and have proven successful in thousands of homes.

'Don't tackle homeownership alone; it's just as foolhardy as trying to analyze your own ailments. Visit a good residential architect and show him your preliminary plans. Even though you don't intend to employ him all the way, his preliminary advice -will prove invaluable and can be gained on an hourly consultation basis. On the other hand, his complete services, for which he will charge a fee of eight to ten percent of the final contractor's estimate, will furnish you with preliminary sketches, final working drawings and specifications, the obtaining of comparative estimates, signing of contracts and supervision during construction of the house. "Such a partnership will save you a lot of work, expense and headaches and the fee, instead of being considered a luxury, will be more than compensated for by the many economies he'll be able to effect.

Before architect or builder sets pencil to paper, have him look over any property you may be 'considering, "Today's Home" stresses. It adds: "Climate, contours, planting and orientation are of tremendous influence in getting the best and most house for your money: For instance, a flat plot lends itself more economically to a one-story rambling plan while a sloping piece of land adapts best to a two-story house since foundation walls can also be used to enclose a lower living area. The result is a one-story look on one side, a two-story on the others where each floor is well -lighted and ventilated. Small House Can Be Cooled With Single Window Unit Best Mortgage Terms Debated By Experts When you buy a house, is it better to have the largest, longest mortgage a bank will give, or the smallest one? The experts differ sharply on this question, reports "Today's Home" magazine. In its Spring issue, just released, it says that those who advocate the largest or longest-lasting debt take the position that monthly payments are similar to rent and should therefore be kept es low as possible, that the typical home owner does not stay in the house long enough to own it free and clear anyway and that, should he want to sell, a large remaining mortgage that a buyer can take over is a good selling point.

On the other side of the fence are those who say that home ownership is far different from renting and that the sooner you own your house outright, the better off you will be. In the meantime, they say, you should make every effort to create as large an equity as possible by making the largest down payment comfortably within your means and taking the shortest convenient loan. "Clearly, the choice is yours," the magazine says. Ever wonder why Broadway stars apply makeup under the harsh glare of bare electric bulbs around their dressing table mirror? It's because they'll appear on stage under equally stark lighting from footlights and spotlights. -The bare-bulb dressing room lights show them how they'll look to the audience.

Natural daylighting is free, the magazine points out, and if you fail to take advantage of it you may have to buy considerable elec tricity to supplement light in your heme even by day. Windows on the north give flat, even light. Windows on the south give a changing, contrasty light that is more interesting and usually desired. Such windows are relatively easy to shade with overhangs, or with trees. East light is especially effective in bedrooms and in kitchens, while windows on the west are generally best avoided unless they can be shaded from the outside from the hot summer sun.

The best light of all is the kind that comes from overhead, "Today's says. New prefab sklight units of many types provide this kind of lighting.

Engineering studies have shown that this can beidone in a house of about 1,000 square feet of living space if: 1. The house is 'thickly 'insulated with mineral wool. 2.

If you want to avoid the plight of Sam and Mary, it's wise to ask the 'builder how much insulation the house has, what kind it is, and where it's installed. For heating comfort and economy, and maximum summer comfort without air conditioning, engineers recommend thicknesses of at least 4 inches of mineral, wool in ceilings, 3 inches in walls, and 2 or 3 inches in floors over unheated areas such as crawl spaces, garages, and porches. A house that is to be air conditioned or heated electrically needs 6 inches of mineral wool in the ceiling, at least 3 inches in walls, and 2 or 3 inches in floors. Needed Three kinds of lighting are required if your house is to have up-to-date illumination, 'Today's Home" magazine states in its Spring issue just distributed to newsstands.

It says that "to be well-lighted by night, each room should have general or overall lighting, specific localized lighting for sucn purposes as reading, and decorative lighting. "General lighting may be direct or it says. "It is not bright enough to work by, but in combination with local lighting it reduces strong contrasts wnich are latiguing to tne "Local lighting is direct, though it may be combined with indirect general lighting. These local centers must never be at eye level and should be shielded irom the eyes. Wherever a task is to be done, they are needed.

They may be either permanent fixtures or plug-in lamps. "Decorative lighting, by pierced shades, slots, with jewel-like colored inserts, stained or fluted glass, crystal pendants and shell add sparkle, color, and shadowplay on walls." v-.

Titled, a "People Kill Peoole Sometimes," the one-hour drama is being produced and directed by John Frankenheimer.

A recent law increased the total disability payments to up to $100 a month. You may obtain the added coverage for a small additional premium.

BITTING Mahanoy Ave. Don't make the mistake of taking the salesman's "word" for important structural details such as wiring, insulation, and, plumbing when you buy a home. Instead, ask questions, then ask to be shown. If you don't, you and your family may have to pay for your error in cash, discomfort; and inconvenience as long as you live in the house.
