Newspaper Page TextTHE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Page Twelve New England Colonial House Is Third Register-Guard 'Home of the Wo6y Drainage System Is Important Unit In Modern Home One of the most important fea. tures of a home is its drainage system, as one poorly designed will be a source of continual an noyance and trouble to the home owner. It is recommended that the drainage system of the house be constructed of high-grade materi als and subjected to rigid inspec tion. The system should be care fully designed with proper sizing of mains and branches and ade quate pitch of all drainage lines. Economy of layout will be achiev ed by the grouping of facilities about the fewest possible num ber of stacks and by avoidance of long runs. The system should be arranged so as to avoid cutting of structural members. Special care should be taken to assure the positive trapping of all fixtures and floor drains and ade quate venting of the entire sys tem. To facilitate maintenance, an adequate number of clean-outs should be provided. The use of the heavier grades of drainage piping and fittings will insure longer life, and high-grade work manship is of great importance to insure securely sealed joints and proper installation of all pipes and fittings. Auto Cabin Sale Made Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Myer have purchased Bales' Log Cabin auto cabin on South Pacific 99 at the junction of the overhead cross ing and Willamette park road. The former owner was A. P. Bales of Cheyenne, Wyo. Con tideration was S8500. Ramey W. Hugh handled the transaction for the E. H. Peterson company. The new owners are now in possession and are making ex tensive improvements, including the installation of a playground, park and trailer camp and also a drive-in soft drink and lunch room. Shower Head Gives Spray At Two Levels A shower head on the end of an adjustable arm, providing proper height of shower for both children and adults, is one of the latest devices for the bathroom. In addition to providing a show er spray, the device will supply a steady stream to the tub when a knob on the shower head is turned. The adjustable arm also makes the shower convenient for shampooing. Installation is simplified by the fact that no parts are hidden in the wall, and various thicknesses of tile, plaster, or other wall ma terials present no difficulties. - Built-Ins a Specialty SASH DOORS GLASS GLAZING STORE and RESTAURANT FIXTURES EBERWEIN'S Carpenl'er .

Harpham at 1981 Elk drive, this week's Register Guard "home of the week", and the New England idea is carried out in every detail. The home is built atop a knoll off Fairmount boulevard and the district is so new that Elk drive is still a bit hard to find. K. K. Folgcdalen was the con tractor for the Harpham home, and all materials were purchased in Eugene. The house is white, with green shutters giving it an attractive design. A tiny front porch with two steps up to it and a distinc tive arch over the doorway arc typically New England. The gar age, adjacent to the house, is also white. The building is a frame construction. An Attractive View Fir trees, close by and in the distance, makes an attractive view from the many windows of the Harpham home. When the front door is opened, the first thing you see is the warm New England atmosphere. Built in book cases and a friendly fire place with a clock 100 years old on the mantlepiece are features of the living room. There are parchment color walls, with dull cream woodwork. Colonial brass fixtures and colonial lighting of a reflector type add to the New England as pect. One of the fixtures is a Nantucket lantern. The dining room is separated from the living room by a hall way. Hurricane globes hang over the dining room table. The din ing room is wide and has corner cupboards. Mulberry -Mauve Tone A mulberry-mauve tone is ap parent throughout the house, es pecially in the living room, where even the curtains are in keeping with the colonial idea. The fire place contains a tinder box and an old-fashioned crane. Ivy on the mantlepiece by the clock is in accord with the general theme. Further in keeping with the colonial motif are "L" hinges on cupboards throughout the house. Even the striped cat purring over the little braided rugs on the living room floor is remind ful of New England.

The kitchen runs off Ihe dining room, and when one enters it all appears to be knotty pine. The clipboards over the drainboard are made entirely of knotty pine. There is a nook off the kitchen, and it, too, is built of knotty pine. An open shelf features the nook.

C, May 10, (Special) The average weekly volume of home financing opera. tions under the FHA plan con tinued during April at approxi mately the same high level estab lished during March, according to figures made public today by Ad ministrator Stewart McDonald. The March figures were the high est in the history of the FHA. The total figures for April showed a decline of 13 per cent from those of March, with the average weekly volume showing a decline of less than 4 per cent. Small home mortgages selected for appraisal during the month totaled approximately $105,700, 000, and 65 per cent of the num ber of these mortgages repre sents homes to be constructed. April mortgages selected for ap praisal of approximately $105,700, 000 compares with $94,229,313 for April last year, an increase of 12 per cent. Mortgages accepted for insur ance during April totaled $65,000, 000, compared with $63,485,800 for March, and $63,298,325 for April, 1938. Of the amount of mortgages accepted for insurance in the first four months of 1939, approximately 72 per cent cov ered new houses. Premium-paying mortgages re corded in April total $46,300,000, compared with $50,162,100 for March, a decrease of 8 per cent, and $25,798,400 for April of last year, an increase of 80 per cent. This brings the grand total of small home premium-paying mortgages to slightly less than $1,500,000,000. In addition, the FHA has insured mortgages total ing $89,372,425 on 195 large scale housing projects. land type picket fence around the stair top. A guest room is at the left as you go up. The room has a guest closet, which, like all clos ets in the house, has special ac comodations for shoes at the top. There arc built-in closets in the guest room, as in the other bed rooms. There is a large hall clos et upstairs. A feature is the children's room. decorated in pink, with maple furniture and appropriate small reading lamps and other suitable furnishings. Cupboards Below Bowl The upstairs bathroom, also small, is in yellow and green de sign. The cupboard below the washbowl is handy and augments the conventional one above the bowl. The long third bedroom has a beautiful view from a terrace which stretches outside it. There are two closets in this bedroom, with more built-in shelves. The house will have a full base ment, but it has not yet been completed. An old oak tree stands outside the house in keeping with the New England motif, and fruit trees and a garden are planned later. The Harphams moved in a little more than a month ago. Construction of the house began November 1. TO HOLD CLEAN-UP OAK HILL, May 20 (Special) Clean-up day and election of a trustee for Oak Hill cemetery is set for Thursday, May 25.
