PERMANENCY OF BRICK
FOR HOMES STRESSED
DWELLINGS HAVE STOOD VS.
DER TEST FOR YEARS j
Climate of Coast Similar to That
Of England Where Brick i
',- Is Favored
For centuries brick has been
the main dependence for him who
would found a real home for his
family; not a temporary abode
which might serve for. a genera
tion or two, but a real home whose
olid walls keep out the cold, and
damn of Winter and lha heat J rt
summer, where his children and
his' children's children may find
shelter-?- a home which Withstands
the ravages of timer which defies
tire from "without:, which costs j a
minimum to keep In repair and
which becomes more beautiful
with the mellowing influence i of
age. . .j'. i; , j; ! . I 1 '.;..;
Climatic conditions in the west
ern parts of Washington and Ore-
sun are similar -10 inooe or Eng
land, where the brick home nas
proved such a success. Solid brick
walls keep out ''.cold, and , damp
ness, heat and sound. They are
warm in winter, cold in summer.
The brlck'walls, sheltering the in
terior fromLthe .weather, preserve
the woodwork and furnishing for
many years. The brick house,
costing but little more to build
than the frame, is by far the more
economical to maintain. The ex
terior does, not aieed to be paints
ed. '"The walls" do riot depreciate.
They are practically as good j at
new 25 years after they are built
and much more beautiful, -for the
colors mellow, with age until the
old ."brick home-seems to become
a part of the landscape which ; it
adorns.
Renewed, popularity of brick in
American has, been brought about
mainly because of advanced manu
facturing methods, which have
placed on the market a great
variety of colors and textures in
brick and by" the work of-arch-

Maintenance, also, is at a minimum ;
an occasional jointing of exterior
woodwork is all the attention re
quired to keep the house in perfect
condition. ; ; .
Another feature is that the Pasa
dena can be built on almost anr city
lot. A width of forty feet racing
in almost any direction will accom

Without the furnishings the
house tut n'ot complete, without

splendidly finished building that
is at the command of the tourists.
Attempts have been made to cre
ate Interest enough in the camp
to secure the appearance of 'the
tirst city band concert at the
grounds, . according t'j the plans
ot Homer II. Smith, chairman of
the community house committee.
Originally the house was de
signed to be of merit, a display
of honor for the community camp
ground. Plans were agitated,
moneys secured, the building
erected in record time, but in the
end it remains padlocked, unused
and occupying good space at the
entrance of tne auto camp.
Originally the . . community
house was designed for the pur
pose of staging exhibits of the
agricultural : and industrial pro-
ducts of the city, to provide a
I place for lectures and other ad
vertising schemes with which to
tell the world about the 'greatest
center of the earth. r
Practically all the exhibits are
prepared, but the furnishings of
the rooms are not completed and
as a result the use of the building
is forbidden. . ,
Seats, chairs and tables have
been donated, but not received at
the Community house to make up
for; part of the interior equip
ment. The house cost aproximately
$1400 and is idle, while at least
20 cars pass through the grounds
each night, thus allowing an op
portunity to slip by unused.
The Willamette valley Is the
center ot all farm crops In Oregon
and Salem is the heart of the val
ley. Come to Salem to live, and
bring all your friends.
SALEM BUILDING GAINS
PORTLAND THIRD AMONG PA
CIFIC? COAST CITIES
Portland "was third among Pa
cific coast cities in the volume of
building construction authorized
during May, according to a sur
vey issued Thursday by S. W.
Strauss & Co. Portland's total
of $3,611,195 was 6 per cent
greater than the April figure, 42
per cent above that of May, 1924;
39 .per cent over May, 1923, and
23 per cent above the total for
May, 1922j The May total has
been exceeded only by the record
of March, 1925, when building
permits were valued at $4,645,140.
Six of the nine Oregon cities In
the ist showed gains over April
and over May, 1924. The aggre-

The Cost of a Roof
Is In the Upkeep!
I . Leaks, patching and replacement will
eat up what you think you save when
you lay cheap roofinjr. For this rea
son, we strongly recommend our Ex
tra Clear cedar shingles. - They are
much heavier than Star A Star and -are
100 percent clear. They can be !
laid faster, will wear longer and look
better. Properly laid, a roof of Extra
Clears should be good for a century.
