Doors Do More Than Open, They Key Character oj [fane ;

Indoors, outdoors — the right' ■ doors can be a big asset to the j I appearance of a home. Take the front entrance, for I example. It’s a key spot that calls I for careful selection of the door, ‘ because that’s where visitors and guests receive their first real impression of a house. < If a house is of Colonial or traditional architecture, a wood panel entrance door is almost mandatory. A trip to a building materials dealer will turn up a wide selection of styles and sizes in panel doors of ponderosa pine — all in stock or readily available. And the beauty of it I is that many of these stock units are authentic reproductions of ] panel doors which were origin- I ally custom-made for 18th-cen- 1 tury Colonial houses. The modern copies make it easy to add a genuine Colonial touch without the need for costly custom work. —lnterior doors are also available as stock items in authentic Colonial styles.. Often doors are used as a unifying element by installing the same style at room entrances throughout a house. , For clothes closets, however, wood louver doors are often pre- j

Something for everyone-here’s a sampling of the many types of room air conditioners available this year: 1. Standard window unit; 2. Small size for casement windows; 3. Permanently installed throughthe-wall model; 4. Window unit comes in wood cabinet; 5. Through-wall model with removable front panels that can be covered to match room decor. Each of these room air conditioners cools, dehumidifies, and filters the air.

It may well be true that you can't please everybody, but manufacturers of room air conditioners have come mighty- close - especially in recent years. First, the industry has voluntarily established a certification program which verifies the cooling performance of the room air Under this program! room air conditioners are tested by an Aildependent laboratory to make sure the cooling capacity (in British thermal units per hour) and amps and watts are represented accurately. More than 90 per cent of all room air conditioners manufactured for sale in this country now are included in the certification program, which is sponsored by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. Secbnd, consumers have a wider choice of units—in terms of cooling capacity, types and styling—than ever before. For example, room air conditioners are available with a cooling capacity as low as 3,300 Btu’s per hour, and as high as 32,000 Hammer Hint To prevent scratches and mars on your furniture while you. are doing some upholstering, and to prevent the tack hammer from slipping off rounded tack heads, put a strip of adhesive tape on the head of your hammer.

Btu's per hour. This means there are units just right for a small den or bedroom, and others that ~ can provide cool comfort for a large combined arOa like an L-shaped living-dining room. Some units even have enough capacity to cool a small house. The most familiar type of air conditioner is placed in a window, either double-hung,,awning or casement. Many of the window models can be installed quickly and easily and may require no special wiring; other models may require special wiring and installatrbn. Increasing in popularity is the room air conditioner that is permanently installed through thewall of a house. It performs the same job as the window variety and is also available in a wide range of cooling capacities. Through the-wall models permit greater' choice of placement in the room. ’ Both window and wall models are available in a variety of colors and attractive styles to blend with individual room decor. ~ ... , NICE WARMTH There is a .warmth and friendiness about wood paneled walls which no substitute of man has ever equaled: The rich patina of grain and texture is different in ever board.

Homesickness Averted

House That Grew With Family Saved Them From Moving Pangs

To move or not to move-that was the question facing the R. S. Jacksons of South Euclid, Ohio. With the arrival of their fourth child, their three-bedroom hbuse had become too cramped for comfort, but they were reluctant to leave their pleasant neighborhood. They solved, the problem by building a two-story addition to their bou§e on quiet, tree-lined Mr. Jackson placed his design for the addition in the hands of Squires Construction Company. The result is a new, over-sized garage and above it a bedroom, bath, walk-in storage area and a large linen closet. The bedroom, now occupied by Peter t 6, and Steve, 5, features a large closet with storage drawers and wood louVter doors, and two double-hung wood windows. The louver doors are ideal for closets because they allow air to circulate, helping to keep clothes fresh. To integrate the new addition with the original house, a short overhang over the front porch was extended across the front of the addition. UL-labeled asphalt shingles like the ones which had provided years of protection on • the old roof were used on the extended overhang as well as on the new roof area. Siding was also matched-clap-board upstairs and vertical panels on the first floor. New louver shutters, painted to match exist-

Factory-Primed Panels Reduce Building Costs Experts say one way to cut costs on a building project is to install factory - primed panels Their use eliminates one-third to one-half the work of applying the finish coat to the surface. Another advantage is that the finished surface, because the undercoat is smooth and even, is tbp-notch in appearance. ManyTumber dealers now carry in stock prime coated Masonite Presdwood for various purposes, both exterior and interior. These include popular Peg-Board panels. Because of -factory-precision work, the special primecoat on these hardboards is unusually dense and smooth. In a neutral gray, the • coating resists chipping or flaking when sawed. It. may be covered with either light or dark-tones of oil emulsion paints or .enamels. Summer Baby Will Need -Winter Wool They gurgle and wail, and cuddle and coo. Maybe there’s one on the way for you. What? A baby,' of course. If there is, you’re making plans for booties and sweaters, blankets and diapers, bottles and basinette, rattles and dolls for baby’s comfort and fun. But don’t overlook plans for making your house a healthful, comfortable place where the new baby can flourish. Before winter comes, you’ll want to eliminate drafts and

You can do this, and add to eool summer comfort as well, by having your home •thoroughly insulated with mineral wool. Houses that are well insulated cost less to heat in winter and less to air condition in summer — an important consideration, since fuel costs are often a big item on the family budget. It's easy to insulate a house that's being built, Batts and blankets of mineral wool can be installed in floors, ceilings and walls before interiors are finished. A house already finished can be insulated by a contractor who uses pneumatic equipment to blow mineral wool into ceilings, walls, and floors. >

Allergy Ills Relieved By Air Conditioner

If asthma or hay fever has you wheezing and sneezing your way through the summer, take heart. You may be able to cut down on the itchy eyes, stuffy nose and labored breathing by simply turning on the room air conditioner. The Medical Committee of the Allergy Foundation of America says that as long as you stay in an air- , conditioned room, your symptoms often will be relieved.

And if you have an air .condi- - tioner in your bedroom, you 1 ~ won’t be so apt to be kept awake * in the nightly battle for a breath ’ 4 of pollen-free air. 1 ••• i , In using room air conditioners , for the relief of symptoms, the 5 Allergy Foundation cautions that s it is important to set the ther- ; mostat of the air conditioner j properly so that the temperature f within the room is not more than j 12° below that of the outside air. j “Extreme cooling will often irri- ] tate the membranes of the nose | and bronchial tubes,” the volun- , tary health organization says in its booklet, “Asthma, Hay Fever and Other Allergies,”

Recognizing the benefits ofP air condition-1 ing, the Federal k Government L now allows a medical expense tax deduction for room air con-

ditioners purchased when physicians prescribed them as medically necessary for heart patients, asthmatics and allergenics. The new deduction went into effect for the first time in 1962. There were 97 million days of ' restricted activity reported due to asthma and hay fever in 1959 .

and 1960, the Allergy Foundation states in its pamphlet. The victims were allergic, or unusually sensitive, to air-borne dusts, mold spores, and pollens from weeds, grasses, trees and plants which no not

affect non-aller-gic persons. Seasonal hay (ever especially is caused almost entirely by these airborne allergens or inhalants.

Room air conditioners can reduce the amount of pollen in the air at the height of the ragweed season by as much as 98 per cent, tests by Dr. Orren D. Chapman, head of the Bacteriology Department at Syracuse University, showed. Other forms of relief from the distressing symptoms of asthma and hay fever are drugs and series of injections which help desensitize allergic patients as long as they continue the treatment. Immunization by a single injection is also under study at the present time, the Allergy Foundation states in its pamphlet The free pamphlet may be obtained by writing the Allergy Foundation of America. 801 Second Avenue, New York 17, N Y. --
