Plants Under a Picture Window Bish B Builders Open House: Today

By DEAN H. ROBINSON The home for this week has Just about everything a peraon could ask for to provide pleasant and convenient living. It is hardly small and is most certainly not an economy house, but for those whose budget will allow it should certainly prove to be very popular. The exterior is designed of face brick with vertical wood battens around the front and back porch to provide contrast, Let's go inside and look around at all the wonderful features to

be found there. First there is .a protected vestibule and coat closet, To the left is the large living room. Notice the picture

The Kitchen is compact with a window over the sink so mother can watch the small fry they are at play in the back yard. There are three doors in this area which will save many steps.

Fe ‘Paralyzed, Briton Tells Realtors

: The socialist virus. has reduced the builders of Great Britain to a state of paralysis, Bryan J. Packer, Southampton, England, a political secretary and campaign manager, told the Réaltors’ Washington Committee of the National [Association of Real Estate Boards, at a luncheon recently.

The British government's “Insane policy of public housing and | state ownership never will produce {the 7 mijlion ‘additional homes England requires,” he added.

“The house builders are tied hand and foot by a complete system of control,” Mr. Packer explained. “A private bullder is allowed to build only one house to every four built by the government. In many cases as many O| as 20 plans for the same houses w» have to be submitted before the “| government bureaucratic monstrosity arrives at its final decision.” A private owner can spend only | $3600 in building a house in England, but government authorities are allowed $6000 to ‘build the same house, he said. The $3600 figures must include purchase of gite, road making, sewering and all public services.

SUBURBAN OPEN. HOUSE—Built by Carl O. Eagler & Son, this attractive house is open to the public today from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. The four-room home has oil heat, hardwood floors and a modern itchen—all for $9500.

Moisture is one of the greatest obstacles to a good paint job. It is the primary cause of blistering and peeling. » “Chances are,” he said, ‘no matter how good the paint may be, or how well it is applied, moisture in the walls will cause blistering that will ruin the paint film.’ Most important reason is that the house is dried out by late summer. In winter and spring the walls absorb moisture which is later drawn out through the siding by the summer heat, By fall
