A child's world is a small one where each new experience is judged on the basis of taste and feel, where bright colors and happy sounds have far greater value than ideas like practicality and utility. All a child knows about a kitchen is that is is full of shiny, sparkling things that move and make noise ... toys for mother to play with.

But there's really more to a kitchen than that.

 Today's

kitchen is office,

laboratory, workroom

and social center

Today's appliances rise to the occasion. Appliances that are miracles of efficiency, appliances beyond the wildest imaginings of yesterday's homemakers, are common-place in the kitchen of today. Fairytale conveniences like these are available to homemakers right now ...

• ranges that can start cooking when you're away and ranges that keep foods hot for hours without overcooking
• refrigerators that never run out of ice because they make ice automatically, with no trays to fill and spill
• dishwashers that wash dishes and glasses, pots and pans sparkling clean without prerinsing or scraping
• washers that "remember" how to wash every fabric and dryers that shut off when clothes are "dry enough"

And these are just the forerunners of appliance miracles waiting for you a few thousand tomorrows from now!

A child is seven years old. She leaves the dependency of babyhood behind. She crosses streets alone, goes to school, learns to read. The child of 1970 is aware of her environment ... she is matter-of-fact about supersonic flight and pocket-size television. And she accepts the tranquil routine of her daily life ... tasty, nutritious meals served on time, clean clothes when she needs them, the right atmosphere for work, play and rest ... without giving a thought to how it all got that way.

But her mother knows. Her 1970 kitchen is not so different from the one she was proud of a few years ago, yet it's full of amazing new things. It certainly looks different! Everything is built in. And look at the wonderful, work-saving ideas that are built in, too.

Take thermoelectric refrigerators. Each small unit is a self-contained refrigerator that keeps food chilled until she's ready to prepare it. Then with a touch of a button the refrigerator becomes a cooking unit that heats food ready-to-serve in seconds! When she's through, a touch of a control and the refrigerator disappears into the wall. She touches still another control and still another cooking unit pops out of the wall, ready to use.

After she's enjoyed the delicious meal she can prepare in minutes in her 1970 kitchen, cleanup is nearly effortless, too. The lazy susan in the table's center houses both dishwasher and disposer.

Incidentally, have YOU ever wondered just what goes on inside a dishwasher. It's really amazing ... and here's your chance to see what really happens when you shut the door, so come along.

See how the strong jets of water spray all around you, washing dishes sparkly clean. You can walk between the two revolving spray arms of the world's largest dishwasher and not get wet at all!

And there are many wonders waiting for you in 1970 ... a short two thousand tomorrows away. Your home will have its own automatic wash 'n wear closet ... you'll simply hang dirty clothes away, then take them out of the closet clean and ready to wear.

A combination shower and steam bath will help you relax away the day's tensions ... your children will think the air curtain that keeps heat inside the shower enclosure is magic. And you'll have a plug-in supply of hot air to run your hair dryer or your razor.

You'll read in comfort while you relax in a reclining lounge chair ... the pages of your book or magazine will be projected on a screen that's at the right angle and in the right focus for you.

A. Bathe in water or steam ... and no shower curtain to wash, ever.

B. Your private dry cleaner will clean clothes in minutes, automatically.

C. The Com-Fit lounge is made to your measure for perfect comfort.

Seven thousand tomorrows are fulfilled as the child who has grown, and learned, and lived in wonder through the years becomes 1985's homemaker. The proud mistress of her own home ... cooking, cleaning, caring for her family.

What a wonderful array of conveniences she has at her command, to help her serve tasty, nutritious meals and keep her family happy and healthy. Routine tasks will be handled automatically to give 1985's homemaker more time to devote to rewarding relationships with her family and friends. Carefree living will come easy in the home of 1985 ... it will be built in with the incredible life support devices that will be the servants of tomorrow.

Home life in 1985 will revolve around the Life Support Center. The central energy generator, which supplies the power for lighting and heating and cooling as well as for operating all the life support devices is located here.

A. The Life Support Center is the location of all the devices that heat, cool and control the humidity of the home's atmosphere, to make it comfortable and healthful every day of the year.

B. This is the indoor garden, where the family will grow its own fruits, vegetables and flowers ... bringing them to maturity in days instead of months in the carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere provided by the TECTROL* process. In 1985 they'll enjoy home-grown, garden-fresh produce year 'round!

C. Here, too, is the water purification system. all water will be scientifically conditioned by this system to insure tastier cooking and snow-white laundering.
