The use of wood paneling in one or more rooms was desired by eight-out-of-ten delegates who recently attended McCall's second annual "Congress on Better Living" in Washington, D.C. The 100 homemakers who traveled from their homes in all 49 states to air their views were forwardthinking housewives, selected by McCall's for their knowledge of and interest in homemaking. Of those delegates desiring paneling, almost one-third chose it for the family or recreation room; one-fourth for the living room; oneseventh for the den or study; and one-eleventh for the kitchen.

One-ninth of the delegates who favored wood paneling said they wanted to use it throughout the house.
