Translated, however, it simâ€" ply means the work triangle in your kitchen that is, the route you take from sink, to stove, to refrigerator, as you prepare your family’s meals. three times each day. Whether it’s in an L, or U, or Corridor-shaped kitchen, or even one of the newer Peninsula types, it's the length of the three sides of that triangle that counts and the number of times you walk it in the course of one meal's preparation. For any who think these mealâ€"time triangle tours aren’t too import, a study of some 55 farm women in the States has come up with some in- teresting information. In almost 90% of these kitchens it was found the housewife walked ap- proximately 43 miles a year during the preparaâ€" tion of only two of the three days’ meals. The solution of mileage such as this sounds very simple. Just see to it that the sides of the triangle are shortened to make a step-saving route between sink, stove and food storage area. Sad to say, as many of us know, that isn't as simple as it sounds. In the past, unfortunately, ar- chitects haven‘t always though about this angle of kitchen planning. Too often doors and windows were put in just anywhere at all. leaving only a minimum amount of wall space against which the equipment has to be placed. Our kitchen at home is an example of that. A small room to begin with, it has five doors and two windows! This means you can change the work triangle very THE TITLE may remind you of Egyptian little. if at allâ€"there's no place left to whim, . . 0 can swrtch the equtpment. y u Fortunately, however, shifting is quite when possible.

Abell, Ph.D. makers were interviewed by staff of the Home Economics Services, a total of 1,065 living children had been born to these farm women. Although about three-fourths of these children were attending school or Were of pre-school age, there were 365 who had completed school (183 boys and 182 girls) and had entered the adult phase of their lives. A continuously decreasing number of today's adult farm-born children are following the occu- pational paths of their parents. Only 4 of each 10 of these adult sons were engaged in farming. A much lower proportion (2 of each 10) adult daughters had followed their mother‘s life pattern of becoming farm home- makers. Although 53 of these daughters were unmar- ried at the time of the survey 129 were married and of these only 34 were living on a farm with their husbands.
