White Carpets.
The second all-industry home
furnishings conference was held
in Washington, D.C, in mid-
August. The meeting - only the
second of its kind ever scheduled
- brou^t together representatives
of every segment
of the multi-billion dollar home
furnishings industry.
Focus of the conference was
the changing consumer. Object
was to move the entire industry
towards a more meaningful consumer
orientation.
Harold Erish Jung, Style and
Director for Lees Carpets, is
among the industry's practiced
observers of today's consumer.
Commenting on changing consumer
tastes, he said, "Preferences
in home furnishings
traditionally change less rapidly
than tastes in fashion. Still
we watch for new uses of color
and texture that could become
Some Tips To Prevent
important trends five years
from now."
On the horizon, Mr. Jung sees
a return to no-color, to the allwhite
room, as shown here.
"This is an interior design
mood that we call 'movie star'
white," Mr. Jung said. "It is
the 'Thirties look updated with
classic see-through tables, a
plush ottoman, abstract art on
the walls, and a thick white
carpet on the floor."
Tiiievery From The Home
From such common sense
measures as locking doors to
.the most sophisticated methods
used by law enforcement agencies,
crime prevention is
everyone's business! Here,
from experts, are steps that are
being taken to keep you and your
property safe, plus tips on what
you can do for your own protection.
It has been suggested that the
following steps to be taken by
local authorities:
Each area should have a
single police phone number that
can be called in case of emergency.
A greater amount of basic
research into crime and criminal
administration is needed
to improve crime prevention
and law enforcement techniques.
Better salaries, benefits and
working conditions would help
to attract highly - qualified
police, probation and parole
officers, judges and other personnel.
But your security also depends
on YOU. Many victims
of crime, say police, are actually
unwitting accomplices.
Here are some things you can
do to help increase your safety:
1. Keep valuables out of the
way and put expensive jewellry
in a safe deposit box.
2. Don't leave the garage
door open when you drive away.
An empty garage can serve as
an invitation to burglars.
3. Leave a light on when you
go out at night.
4. If you own or rent a home,
inform the police and a neighbor
when you plan to go on
