"House of the Week- How to Cut Frills and Gain Glamor lf - . 1 t -vd i HW-26 j SMARTLY UP TO THE MINUTE, low roof lines, hipped jables and wide ildln are eye-atchers. Economy Plan Adds Greater Livability By DAVID BAREUTHER You can actually get a better house by cuUin certain costs when your architect knows what and when to cat. Savings -achieved by eliminating- excels baggage can give you quality and other advantages where really needed. This is demonstrated in Design HW-26 for The House of The Week. . fetersen k Kbbert, architects for this house, estimate that it can be built in their Detroit area for apprximately UB.Oon. Building costs vary widely, of course, but this plan Indicate! in many ways that it can result in a lot of liva bility for the money. The house covers only 1.25C square feet, contains 14.817 cubic feet and its two-car garage with storage closets adds 4R4 square fret. These are handy figures for' rough construction estimates. Smartly designed for the use of one. two or three bedrooms, this is a house that could amply serve a family from honeymoon days, through the schooling yean of children and on into ' old age retirement without any structural alterations. A folding partition divides the front bedrooms which can be merged by day into one wide open room and separated at night for privacy without crowd ing.' Folding doors also separate kitchen anddining room. Sliding BEDROOM lf-3" C-6" ClOt. Ti KITCHEN I 0! - ' I .

Sliding panel doors are specified for all bedroom closets to conserve room space. HOW SOME major economies are affected in this plan is de cribed by A. C. Petersen of the architectural firm. "Kor example." he says, "by eliminating a fireplace, the first thing that happens is a saving -of $800, more or less, depending on your fireplace specifications. Sec ondly, you get a considerable in crease in available wall space for furniture placement. You get more use out of your floor space. "If your heart is set on a fire place, an artificial mantle makes an excellent substitute, or one of the prclabricated fireplaces' now on the market can be much cheaper than heavy masonry. "A basement is fine, too and expensive. In this basementless home, careful planning provides for storage where, you need it: on the rear porch near the kitchen door, in cabinets above laundry facilities, in book and china built ins, in, large wardrobe closets and . one entire wall length of the gar ' ace.

Nov. 10 W-TwentyL,y Ctgnty probably will make years after he jilted a kingdom for an American woman, the ag ing Duke of Windsor still poses a king-size problem for the roya' family of England. Next week, almost on the an niversary of his Dec. 11, 1936, ab dication, the 62-year-old duke will bring Bft" duchess back to Britain (or a visit. When they arrive,- the Windsor will walk " headon into an argu ment which has been stirring the nation for months and which to some extent has placed the duke'i niece, Queen Elisabeth II, on a royal spot. Should the Windsors, who have been in voluntary, exile since the abdication, be Invited back to England to live?. A popular woman magazine, Britannia k Eve, led off the ar gument! in September with an ar ticle entitled "Bring the Windsors Home." Life Seateace Noting thaTexcept For-HcWnf visits the slender, graying duke has been abroad for 20 years, the magazine said:" "That is the equivalent of a life sentence in the court , , , ," The mass circulation tabloid Sunday G jr a p h i e subsequently polled its readers on whether they would welcome the return of the former King Edward VIII. The result: Bring them back, 4 per cent. Keep them out, 51 per cent. Don't care, 3 per cent. Concluded the Graphic: "Twen ty years has done little or nothing to heal old wounds or mellow bit terness." V , Make Britain Home A directly opposite view came from the Evening Star. "Now comes the time to say to the duke most warmly that every one would be happy to see him and his wife make Britain their home . . . said the Star. "The years between have erad icated the . bitterness and drawn the sting." Other newspapers have called editorially for the Windsors to be welcomed home and none has spoken out against them. But let ters to the various editors have shown sharp divisions. - The Church of Enaland. which frowns sternly on divorce, A V Statesman Salem, Ore., Sun., Nov' 11, '56 (Sec II)-13 Cagney to Make More in Lon JJlianey Mole Than Silent Star Earned in Lifetime By JAMES BACON 'percentage of "Man of a Thou- HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 10 ut!

By MIKE GREHL Anchorage Dally Times TAZLINA. Alaska, Nov. 10 ( A chain-smoking priest whose tac tics would put GI scroungers of World War II to shame finally has established what he believes is his "real mission in life," the Copper Valley School for Indians. The guiding force behind the school, which now has an enroll ment of 50 Indian children, is the Rev. John Buchanan, a burly, round-faced native of Chicago. The materials and labor for the school," located on 460 acres "of land between the Tailina and Cop per Rivers 200 miles east of An chorage, were "acquired" by Fa ther Buchanan Jrom many i sources. The land was donated by i the Department of the Interior. - Father Buchanan's project had its beginning in 1949 when Bishop Francis D. Gleeson of Alaska handed the Jesuit missionary $5 and told Buchanan to take over a new parish. No Chapels The parish covered 74.000 square miles of wilderness from the Ca nadian border to- Fairbanks. There were no chapels. Throwing himself completely to the challenge, Father Buchanan scrounged .lumber from former schoolmates in Idaho and hauled it himself up the Alaska Highway. Truckers dubbed Buchanan the "pack rat priest," but in time he constructed chapels at Tok Junc tion, Big Delta, Northway and Glenallen. Gathering a flock, Buchanan THE HOUSE of the WEEK .
