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.
