Piper's Velvet Bent wag found to’ be highly resistant to dollar spot, a very serious fungus disease. No dollar spot has found at any time ‘during the 10 years of experimentation at the Kingston, R. J., statien. Weeds have less chance to succeed because of the fine texture and great denseness of growth. Weed seeds when blown or carried on a velvet bent lawn have g* difficult time finding a place to grow. As usual, fall is the recommended time for planting lawns, A slighily acid soil is recommended and good drainage is essential.

‘THIRSTY’ SHINGLES INDICATE AGING ROOF

“Thirsty” shingles are a sign of an ageing:roof. Old spongy shingles frequently hold rain water for many hours after the storm has passed on. This is the water that, bit by bit, converts a sound roof into a rotted, weakened one. .Such a roof should be allowed to dry out thoroughly. "A new cover=ing of colorful asphalt shingles can then be applied. Such a fireresistant roof will give many years of -service.

DEFENSE HOMES AFFECT FUTURE

| Magazine Says Architects Encouraged, to Assume Greater Initiative. :

NEW YORK, Nov. 21. —~“Defonts housing, whatever its faults, wilt

building activity in every field,” the Architectual Forum magazine declares.

{more than 75 per cent of the defense housing put up under contract—almost 32,000 dwelling units—

practicing architects, the m

work can scarcely be exaggera Initiative Urged

“Since April 5, well over a hundred architectural firms have been projects— EE me TS 0 1690 families and averaging 270 units each. Moreover, the significance of the change in policy which this represents is not limited to such statistics, heartening as they

are. “Both USHA, working through local housing authorities, and the Defense Housing Division in its direct construction are encouraging architects to assume greater initiative and greater responsibility in the execution of work under their control. Departure from the sterdotyped approach and stiff restrictions (real or imagined) which resulted in the dull uniformity of much peacetime housing has been encouraged. Trend Reversed

“Architects of many projects have been urged to set aside a number of units for experimentation both in design and .construction, ‘guinea pig houses,” whose performarce will be carefully watched as time- goes on and compared with that of their more conv@gntional neighbors for the improvement of future work,” the Architectural Forum points out. “The importance of this work can scarcely be exaggerated.” “The assignment of independent architects to defense housing projects marked’ a sharp reversal of the trend which had assigned more than two-thirds of the work of the previous six months to Civil Service architects in Government bureaus. “It is a belated recognition of the fact that the talents of’ a large group of skilled building experts— the nation’s practicing architects— were being willfully wasted at a time when all-out effort was needed to lift the defense housing program out of Government red tape.”

Better Homes 24 Better Living

Plywood is proving the practical solution to many home renovation problems, both inside and out. Being strong and easily installed by

direct nailing to the studs and joists it is equally serviceable for walls and ceilings as well as partitions of? every description. Unlimited decorative treatments are possible with plywood as it forms an excellent base for painting. Following the Alling, taping and sanding of the joints, a couple of coats produce a beautiful finish, rivaling far more expensive plaster or panel installations. And, what is equally important, the paint styling can be altered periodically at low cost according to decorative trends. For cleanliness as. well as maintenance economy, mix all the paint on the job from soft paste white lead and the pure vehicle ‘ingredients selected according to the finish and color desired. Pure white lead paint is the ideal mural decoration as it ‘is impervious alike to the action of moisture, dirt and grease, any stains which] may result being readily removed by simple washing, This assures cleanliness as well as the utmost in service and durability from every styling treatment.
