BARELTHER A COUNTRY HOtSE including 1 the latest ideal (or carefree family t living in locationi where desirable ' land it not scarce is featured in ' Design ' HW-I for- The House of The Week. ; This is a beautiful home a ! rambling one-story with an ex 1 pansion attic - for a fourth bed- room and third bathroom. Iff kitchen, laundry, Dutch kitchen, activities room and covered garden terrace give the family a big aeparate apartment for informal life in all seasons. Fireplaces are located both in the Dutch kitchen and activities room. This planning reserves the liv ing room for more formal use something that mothers ask - for. The living room and dining room are removed'from the rest of the house. This Is a good sized house, too. It covers 2.146 square foot without its two-car garase. It is more than It7 foot wide, including garage. And with the garage en-J tcred at one end, this house de serves a corner plot or acreage with enough elbow room to provide for turning and hacking. ARCHITECT Herman H. York, specialist in the design of dis tinctive home throughout the roll ing woodland of Long Island's north shore, planned HW-8 to meet the demand for flow homes for the business man, professional man, or junior executive. .The plan Is gracious, without being ostentatious. The main en trance 'is under a covered stoop and leads into a generous sized foyer. At one side a partly open stairway leads upstairs. It's some thing you'd, expect- in a foyer, whether you finish the upstairs or not. Opposite the stairway is an In door planting box giving a grace ful touch to the living room entrance. A picture window over looking an open garden terrace is straight ahead of you when . youJ stand in the foyer. Around the corner from the front door is a coat closet. On the other side of the foyer Is the kitchen. This Is a real stcpsaving feature of the plan. The house wife in the kitchen has a view of the front walk and is only a few steps from the front door. theTj of the WEEK talily Plan Selected AP NewsfeaiM ' Qnestlon Am a cactus fancier and am wondering why we have never seen any cacti at any shows here. Know they are not a natural plant hefe for outdoor use but we have lots of flowers at shows that are only grown indoors. Why can't we ever have cacti? I know I'm not alone about admiring this odd flower and plant. D. J. B. Answer Mrs. Haiel Bsrtley, superintendent of the Oregon State Fair flower show must have heard your prayer.

' Question Am having trouble cleaning my linoleum. Seems no scrubbing and waxing gives it back its natural clean look. Is there anything I can use? R. S. Answer Probably the fsctory finish has worn off, so that strong cleaners and hot water haye opened up tiny pores that' hold the dirt.

MADSEN i Gardef Editor, The Slatesmaa LEBANON1 Things particular, ly leaves and seeds are brewing over at Lebanon now, as the wom en of the town arc getting ready for their annual tyerb. Tea one of the really outstanding garden events, in the Willamette Valley. The date has been set for July 26. from 2 to :30 p.m. It will be held again this year at the home of Mrs. Earl Michelson, 31 Park St. . This Is the lth of the teas and plans are to give an idea pt an old apothecary shop in on corner of the garden, with display of beverage herbs and two displays of Biblical herb Information. Herb flower - arrangements will be made and displayed by Mrs. Bruce Ensley. Pot pourri jars, made and filled by Mrs. Peter F. Smith, will also be displayed. Along with the latter will be herb books and scrapbonks from Mrs. Smith's extensive 'library on the subject, tyrs. Smith is the general chairman for the tea, aad Mrs. Frank Groves win assist with the apothecary display. Herb Lert Exhibited Horticultural herb displayed and folk lore herb displays are also being planned. An exhibit of charts showing herb uses-will beTon hand. Frequently, I receive calls con- cerning the Herb Tea, and all I can say is that unless you've been there you just wouldn't under stand. It's far better than one can describe and also it is far differ ent from anything else I attend on either garden or farm assign ments. Frequently, too, I'm asked for a list of herbs just like that, I'm expected to be able to sit down and tick them off just as one would the states of the nation. "No two herb students will make identical herb lists, and ve,7 herb student will make a different list tomorrow than he made to day," Doris Gunderson, Lebanon herb fancier, will tell you If you ask her for a list.
