The Kitchen Is the
Heait Of The Home
Food is a manufactured product.
The kitchen is the assembly line
where the different ingredients are
put together to produce the family
meal. The more complete the as
sembly line the more easily can
the house wife complete her task.
Why not make the kitchen where
so much time is spent, bright,
cheerie and efficient
The Home Service Department of
The Metropolitan Utilities District
have placed on their show room
floor a life sized model of a per
fect kitchen.
This was done so that any Oma
ha family, who wish to build or re
model can have the advantage of
scientific research in kitchen plann
ing by the countries best home
service specialists. These plans
are yours for the asking without
any charge.
Here are the reasons why the
range is placed in the center of the
kitchen, the refrigerator on the
left and the sink on the right in
our display kitchen.
The number of steps between
each appliance in the preparation
of 28 panned meals and the time
consumed were taken with a stop
watch before the kitchen was de
signed. Here are the results of
that study:
74.2 minutes were spent at the
refrigerator,
68.9 minutes were spent at the
sink,
35.5 minutes were spent at the 1
range.
Now as to the steps taken. The
study shows the following:
57 % of the steps taken were be
tween the refrigerator and the
range,
32% of the steps taken were be
tween the sink and the refrig
erator,
25% of the steps taken were be
tween the range and the refrig
erator.
Now examine our kitchen aides
when you look at the model kitch
en. The air controlled cabinet a
bove the range filters the air and
removes all smoke and cooking
odors from seeping through tne
house. The dry storage cabinet
above the refrigerator captures
the warm air fro-n the back and
removes it from a vent in the top.
This makes an ideal storage space
for salt, sugar, crackers, etc. A
small curved door at the base of
each hanging cabinet pulls down
to form's handy shelf for spices,
seasoning, etc. This keeps your
working space uncluttered. Cub
bard shelves for extra equipment,
snack bars and comfortable up
holstered benches may be added.
You may select any color from the
rainbow to personalize your kitch
en and make it completely your
own.
All these time savers are incor
porated in the Utiities Home Serv
ice Kitchen. The plans are yours
for the asking.
4 pm. is something short of a sen
sation in the religious world of to
day.
Rev. Boddie and his wife were
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Gregga Wil
liams 2122 Burdette street for the
week end of March 22. Mrs. Bod
die is a sister of Mrs. Williams.
We look forward to another vis
it from them in the near future.
Welcome to our city, Rev. and
Mrs. Boddie.

Audience Held Enthralled
By Edrose Willis Graham’s
Presentations At The Organ
DEDICATE NEW ORGAN
AT ST. PHILIPS CHURCH
Members and friends of the
Church of St. Philips the Deacon,
gathered on Sunday afternoon on
March 21st, at 5 p. m- to hear O
maha's own and a member of St.
Philips Church, Mrs. Edrose Willis
Graham in an Organ Recital.
The appreciative audience was
thrilled and carried away into the
land of musical fantasy by Mrs.
Graham’s playing. Mrs. Graham
in the presentation of each select
ion, showed indication of a master
touch with all the finish and com
pleteness thereof.
Mrs. Graham having taken les
sons on the organ less than a year
of playing, was a credit to her tea
cher and her skill in mastering the
organ in such a short time. Her
playing of “Finlandia” by Sibelius
and “A Cloister Scence” were ex
cellent examples of her finish due
to long and tedious study for this
successful and remarkable pres
entation.
Mrs. Dolores Blackwell sang “O
Divine Redeemer'’ by Gounod, ac
companied at the organ by Mrs.
Graham.
Mrs. Ruth V. Wheeler sang
“Come Unto Me" by Coenen, ac
companied at the organ by Mrs.
Graham,
Other numbers played well by
Mrs. Edrose Willis Graham, which
were thoroughly enjoyed by the
audience were as follows: Prelude
and Fugue in D Minor by Bach
Sonato for Organ by Browski, and
Berceuse and Priere by Guilmant.
Mrs. Edrose Willis Graham’s
skill in mastering the organ shows
promise of becoming one of the
finest organists in the city as well :
as one of the finest pianists. If
she chooses to continue her study

tion of "My Desire” and "Precious

bers was very pronounced.
The Ensemble as a whole was up
to its usual par in the presentation
Df this recital. Numbers that thrill
ed the audience to no end and pre
sented as no one but the Ensemble
could or can present them, were as
follows: “Onward Christian Sold
iers”. “God Leads His Children,”
Octette singing, "Bowed on My
Knees and “Cried Holy” and the
closing hymn “W henl Can Read
My Title Clear”.
Mrs. Lillian Stevens soloed “In
the Garden”, won for her many
warm handclaps from the audience
Added attractions were Miss Jac
queline Johnson singing "When I
Have Sung My Song”. This young
lady has one of the coming voices

and constant practice, she will de
velop and become one of the out
standing singers of the day.
