Ingenuity Create Winning Home (Editor's Note: A Dutchess County home has been entered in the contest described in this story. The results of the contest will be revealed when the winners are announced in January.) HELEN HENNESSY YORK (NEA) Hemlines have made too many. headlines in women's news. The homemaker, that great silent majority, has made too few. An award program, now in its third year and planned to be an annual event, may bring things back into proper perspective.

The Burlington House Awards are given to women who with' ingenuity and good taste have made their homes or apartments reflect the comfort and happiness fo their families and their guests. The prize is simply an engraved award. No money is involved. But it does give much needed recognition to the talented homemaker, who has been sadly neglected in the current mania of 'midis, make-up and Millet. Women's editors and home furnishing experts on newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations are asked to submit photographs of homes from their areas where ideas concerning the of color, space-saving devices, home sewing centers have added to the liveability and beauty of a home, whether the budget be tight or unlimited.

A Board of Governors, comprised of women prominent in civic affairs, chooses the winner. This 'year's board has Mrs. Albert D. Lasker as chairman and includes Mrs. Hugh Auchincloss (Jackie's mom), Mrs.

Cliff Robertson (Dina Merrill), Mrs. Philip K. Wrigley (gum and Chicago Cubs), plus many other ladies in the news from Rhode. Island to Hawaii: They were recently discussing and poring over the entries at a judging session, enjoying it. "One lady used ladders for said Mrs.

Carter from Honolulu. "Another used old mirror frames to make quilted headboards. They looked great." The winners won't be announced until January. "We sell mass markets," Ray.mond president of Burlington House, said. "And we got into this program because was very encouraged by the fact that so many women.

all over the country want to learn about good taste and decorating. "Taste counts more than cash. What our governors look for is environment a home made more attractive for the kidsthings like that. The judges don't paid but they do love doing it." This year a special award is planned for a small apartment: in New York's Harlem. "It furnished from Sears and Penney's," Kassar said, "but what a' magnificent job that family did!" The prominent women who will choose the winners talked enthusiastically about the cleaverness and decorating talent shown by families where money is a problem.

And since even rich ladies like to save money they may well adapt a few of the ideas themselves. The most refreshing thing about the whole project is that the home may once again make news over the hemline.

He said he would send some material on the subject SO I might better understand what I was asking. A few days later I received an envelope from "Planned Parenthood."

They didn't ask why we didn't. want more children, but offered to "review my. request." If it was worthy of consideration they would direct me to a doctor and recommend that I have the operation.
