This ranch,, al though smalHrn erea and designed lor budget builders, has many de tails found usually in higher priced residences. : Designated X-ll in the House of The Week series, it has six rooms (including three bedrooms) in an area of 1,069 square feet. The plan has further appeal to the budget-conscious builder because of an optional basement. Its interior features include a dropped living room with cathedral ceiling, a balconied dining room, a raised dining terrace and a cir cular rear patio. By finishing the basement, you can add an adult Study plans for Hens ml the Week X-ll are available by send ing 35 cent fa The Oregon Statesman. recreation room with a television and hi-fi center and a children's play room. .Mf Although building and material costs vary greatly throughout the country. Architect Herman H. York, who developed design X-ll, estimates the basement area can be finished for perhaps an addi tional $1,500. Finishing Touches Later The architect suggests that the separating walls, window arrange . merits, doors,' plumbing and other structural details be installed at the time of construction. Wall finishes, floor coverings, folding doors.' vbar and cabinets and other finishing touches can be added later at the convenience of the owner. On the main level, the dropped living room is one step below the rest of the house. The cathedral ceiling and the ceiling-high window wall, the latter et in a recessed bay,, create an illusion of greater space. The adjoining dining room is -one step above the living room and sits on a shallow balcony, sep arated from the living room by a wrought iron: railing. The bedroom wing can be. reached from the liv ing room or the dining room kitchen area.,"' Kitchen at Rear The kitchen is in a rear, cor ner setting to permit maximum light and ventilation.

UMXC stcua X-ll Questions & Answers QUESTldW To settle an argu ment, would like to know if it is better to mow your lawn when the grass is dry or wet. I think it should be dry. Ardent Reader. Answer We're inclined to agree with you, although nowhere have we been able to find anything which substantiates our belief oth er than that any work on the lawn when it is wet tends to pack the soil and packed soil is not condu cive to good growth. Question We got Into an argu ment about when irises should be replanted. I say they should be replanted in July and my husband says October. Which is correct?- P.S. The argument is friendly and we've decided to let you settle it. M.JI. ,. , ... Answer We are glad you added the P.S. Iris experts such as Bob Schreiner and Rholin Cooley say to provide- a maximum amount of U.me t(? div.ide "plant is work space anU cabinet storage area, Because the bedroom wing can be reached from two serviceways, the house has ar excellent circu lation pattern which minimizes un necessary walk(ng. , Terrace Is Sheltered Sliding glass, doors separate the living room and the raised dining terrace, and one' wail of the dining room is glass,, which tends to merge Indoor and outdoor dining areas. The outdoor dining terrace Is sheltered on two sides by the liv ing and dining rooms and is par tially sheltered on the other sides by the kitchen and the carport. There is direct access U the outdoor dining terrace and the pat io from both the front living room and the rear kitchen. In the basement, the two recrea tion rooms may be closed off by folding doors or they may be thrown open into one large room for special occasions. A lavatory, ' " between the two recreation rooms, may be entered. from either room. A work shop, walk-in storage closet, open storage area and boil er room complete the basement plan. A separate exit from the children's play room permits youngsters to come and go at will without entering other parts of the !" house. ' . j . v' e .

He is" studying the hearing July,' August and early September, Question To settle an 'argument tell me how high lawn grass should be cut? I say it should be cut quite short. If it is long and then cut short, the grass down close to the ground bleaches. L.D. Answer (No we did not make this up. It just seems our readers have become- argumentive. There's another couple coming.) An even height should be maintained. If it is cut low once, high once, low asain. bleaching will result. How. ever, height of cut should rise with the temperature. Best cool season heights are: Delux fancy lawn erass. 1 inch: good lawns, 1 to 2 inches: utility lawns 1H to 2 inch es. Raise these mowing heights Vi inch when the heat of summer (like this past week) sets in Meanwhile frequent mowing is best on both old and new lawns so as not to remove too much of the plant at one clipping. Question Came across a story the other day (in a book) which called "Utah, the Mother of Ir rigation"). Can you tell me why? Carious. Answer The Mormons, who came to Utah in the . eighteen fortles, damned a creek that flowed across what is now part of the present Salt Lake City and began irrigating crops in the fer tile but very dry valley of the Great Salt Lake. They have been credited with introducing the first irrigation practiced by Anglo-Saxons in the United States. Question We are planning to go to Lake Louise in September but friends tell us it is closed after Sept. 1. Can you give us any in formation on this? We mean the Lake Louise at Banff. Please give all information you can. E.N.M. Answer We re a little puzzled. Calendar Of Events June S8 Arabian Horse Show, State Fairgrounds, 1:30 p.m. June 22 Sisters Rodeo, Sisters.

The most gigantic flowers are pro duced sparingly, but the tiny ones come in great numbers. So if you admire great masses of bloom, then you should select strains that produce relatively small flowers. Now-here are some lists of flow ers grown from seed that are ar ranged according to the size of the flower. All these varieties are verV free bloomers. The lists are ar ranged in sub-headings, too, which indicate which kinds bloom over a long period and which ones give a relatively brief but tremendous display of many flowers Small Flowers Flowers with blooms under 1 inch across, long blooming period: Zin nia linearis, orange flowers, dwarf plants; marigold gnome, golden yellow blooms, 10 tall; scarlet sage (salvia), different heights av ailable; sweet alyssum, best var ieties royal carpet and carpet of snow very dwarf; globe amaranth (gomphrena) buddy, dwarf plants with purple, clover-like blooms; ag- eratum (floss flower), fluffy blue flower. Brief blooming period: Can dytuft, many colors . available; baby's breath (gypsophila), tiny white blooms; Virginian stock (mal comia), very dwarf; Chinese forget-me-not (cynoglossum), sky blue;, anchusa blue bird, indigo blue, 2 ft. tall. Larger Blooms Flowers with blooms 1 to XVt inches across, long blooming per iod: Zinnia red riding hood (gla cillima) miniature, double scarlet flowers, plants IVi to 2'; zinnia cupid, many colors, dwarf compact plants; cornflowers (centaurea cy anus), blue, pink, white; marigold sunkist, orange flowers, 6"-8" plants; marigold lemondrop, can ary yellow, 6"-8" plants; marigold harmony hybrids, several colors, 1 ft.; phlox, several varieties, many colors; vine a (periwinkle), pink or white, heat-proof.

If it's cool the vines keep right on bearing; hot weather cuts the crop short. You can extend the blooming period of sweet peas by keeping the flowers picked to prevent seed from setting Most of the other fldwers listed above, however, keep right on blooming without having to pick the old flowers from the plants. Lake Louise isn't the name of a hotel at Banff. It is a resort 40 miles to the north of the Banff resort although in the national park' At" Lake Louise there is a hotel called Chateau Lake Louise. There is also a Lake Louise Lodge, and a number of other lodging places, including some mo tor courts, and folk with private homes open to visitors during the tourist -season. The Chateau closes the second week in September and the Lodge the last of September? The Chateau is the most costly. Banff has any number of places to stay, most elaborate of which is Banff Springs Hotel. Scale Insecfs Controlled by Proper Sprays Scale insects and diseases are not usually recognized by the av erage home owner because their colors blend so closely with the bark of trees or shrubs. Often the scale insects number many thous and, sucking the sap of the trees. either to kill it eventually or ser iously weaken it so that it is at tacked by other insects. Scale insects are easy to control. Scale on small shrubs or trees may be controlled by dormant oil sprays. On the larger trees a hy draulic sprayer is used in order to reach all parts of the tree, and, since various scale insects require different spray formulations, an arborist or tree expert should be consulted. it ....... .., COPENHAGEN A new facility in mid-town Copenhagen will be ready for jet-borne passengers early In 1960 when Scandinavian Airlines System's DC-8 jets go into service.

Don't Hack Trees, Have Them Primed It's an Idea Every child's dream a lapel button admitting him to movie theaters free will be given to young visitors to Ocean City, N. J., during the week of June 23-30. The fourth annual Children's Festival Week allows parents to take along a child free for every adult, pav ing half-price for the child's meals and nothing for his room. In addi tion to free movies in board-walk theaters every night but Saturday, the buttons will entitle children to other free and half-price attrac tions ranging from pool swimming to speedboat rides. This brings out a lot of folk in what otherwise might be a dull season, and it pays off, say sponsors. So the leectric light company wants to prune your trees to pro vide ample clearance for wires? Trees can be pruned to preserve their beauty and, at the same time, allow ample clearance for utility wires, according to the National Arborist Association. The only thing the home owner has to con sider is that the pruning job is done by an arborist or tree expert. Hacking away at trees by the in experienced not only can destroy the shapeliness of a tree but some times can kill it outright, it is said. According to the arborists, how ever, most utilities . use extraord inary care in preserving trees. The best bet, if the homeowner is plant ing new trees is to set them out where they will not interfere with electric and gas service lines when fully grown. In cases where trees must be planted under electric wires, low-growing varieties should be selected, reserving the larger growing trees for other parts of the property. Many utilities use local arborists or tree experts in pruning trees under, or close to utility service lines. Generally, their men are highly trained, but if in doubt about the method of pruning prized trees I care In pruning trees near their the home owner may consult with lines and today there ars fewer another recognized authority, In or-1 complaints of this nature than in der to work out a compromise that I past years. will be satisfactory, Most utilities use exceptional Hotel for Children Tiring of seeing signs that chil dren aren't welcome, the Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, N. H. is inaugurating a "Bretton Arms Hotel for Children" on its June 27th opening. The children's hotel, a co-ed affair, will be a completely separate operation from the adjoining Mount Washington Hotel, and offer accommodations for both children of guests at the senior hostelry and to children whose parents are not staying here.
