Statesman's Home-of-the-Week .J 1THE UNDERWOOD HOUSH<AN SOrVKX tm. . 1 lT r 1 Ul THE UNDERWOOD Not a hint of the common place can you find in this attractive, four room cottage. The UNDERWOOD is a mellow house, pleasantly flavored with English cottage character istics from the dove cote on the front gable to the hospitable trellised porch with its wide, deep seats. It's a warm, friendly kind of a home with its huge, squat chimney the focal point of the exterior and the cozy brick fireplace the family center of its well-planned interior. . The little front gable with flush siding above the entrance door gives the house the impression of clinging close to the ground, a desirable character istic of the cottagey type of architecture. Its wide bay of casement windows brings in light and air and add an unusually attractive note to the ex terior. The large covered porch, 15' long by, 10' wide, invites comportable, outdoor living. A garage may be attached to the opposite side of the house to balance the porch if desired. The UNDERWOOD working drawings show a conventional, full basement with plenty of room for laundry tubs, storage, work shop or for a game room in which the youngsters can entertain their guests. ; , The living room is not large, but ample. It is meant to be supplemented, whenever weather per mits, by the porch that opens off it. The kitchen Is the efficient straight-line or corridor type. The bedrooms have two-way ventilation. The childless couple or the family whose children have married and started homes of their own might very easily convert the front bedroom into a dining room or combination dining and guest room. In such a case it should have a door opening into the living room. If it is to be used solely as a bedroom this door should be left out. As with all the plans of our Housing Plan Series, the UNDERWOOD was designed to comply with the requirements and standards of the Federal Housing Administration. To Insure convenience, efficiency and safety in its electric installation, the wiring plan has been checked and approved by National Adequate Wiring Bureau. Complete de tailed blueprint and specifications from which this home may be built are available at $7.50 per set from Housing Plan Service, 140 Nassau St., New York 7, N.Y. Job Placement Increases for Handicapped Although no figures are avail able yet, response to the national Employ the Physically Handi capped week as observed here re cently has resulted in increased placements of handicapped job sfkers, Carl Gi cider, veteran tmployment representative at the Salem employment service office, revealed Monday. 'As a program of this type is largely an educational one for employers, handicapped persons and the public, results are usually noticed over a long period of time rather than at a weekly or a monthly rate," Greidcr said. He said that during the week, em ployers responded to the program boosting placement of h a n d i- capped workers, but added that cooperation of Salem area em ployer in this regard "always has been exceptionally good." Another aspect of the program's resului is the numbvr of handi capped persons now seeking aid at his office and other rehabilita tion agencies here, Greider said.
