by the General Electric Lamp Di
vision last year, brought out many
ideas that could be applied here.
First prize winner was a Kansas
City home owner, who spent about
$25, plus materials he already had;,
which proves it isn’t necessary to
spend a lot of money. For the holi
days, all windows were transform
ed into colorful “stained glass”
with inexpensive crepe paper. Old
carpet rolls, given a coat of dime
store gold paint were used to
create a handsome organ in one
of the windows. Choir boys, cut
out of carboard by the family, add
ed the final point of interest. The
use of floodlights, spotlights and
outdoor Christmas lights served to
complete this unusual holiday de
sign.
Another winner chose to make
his own cut-out of a toy train with
a “Season’s Greetings” message
coming out of its smoke stack.
Have you ever wondered why
your neighbor’s outdoor Christmas
lighting seems to have a more pro
fessional result than yours? Maybe
he’s followed a simple tip from
holiday lighting specialists to po
sition bulbs "close together. For
greater effectiveness, lay three
separate strings of outdoor lights
on the ground and stagger them
so that sockets and bulbs are about
six inches rather than the -usual
18 inches apart. Tape them togeth
er with weatherproof electrical
tape and hang them in the usual
manner.
Here’s a new idea for your
Christmas doorway. Lighting ex
