new types of insulating board.
Not only does the board insulate,
it also adds to the structural
strength of the building.
These are the types of insula
tion board:
Insulating Board Sheathing:
This product performs four ser
vices. It builds, braces. Insulates
and stops wind infiltration. It is
used as a well sheathing in frame
construction with various types of
exterior finish.
It's waterproofed with asphalt,
and goes well as sheating for
brick veneer, aiding shingles or
stucco; also as roof sheathing on
pitched roofs under most any king
of roofing.

and plaster. The lath also dead

Considering these various types
of Insulation, it beehooves the
prospective builder to consult an
architect. There is no doubt as
to the value of insulation, and
there's a type of insulation for
every house.

What Is the difference between
an architect and a designer?
Many persons planning their
first home do not know the differ
ence, or understand what to ex
pect from an architect or designer.
An architect in Oregon Is the
legal term for a man who has had
five years' experience, five years
of school, and has passed a very
complete series of examinations
covering design, architectural his
tory, structural design and other
subjects.
The architect Is capable of turn
Ing out a very complete, set of
plans, specifications and of doing
a good job of supervision on eon'
struction. He usually charge on a
percentage basis of the final cost
of construction.
Other persons also design
houses. They are known a re
signers, and are not licensed a
architect are. Their background
in design vary from none to nearly
as much as a licensed architect
Their services usually end with
the drawing of the plan and some
times of the specifications. They
charge a flat fee for work by the
hour.
Larger Romea
For persons building larger
homes, the services of an architect
are essential. A person planning a
small home can frequently find a
designer who will turn out a plan
at a reasonable figure.
Plan vary in quality. Many of
those available through plan ser
vices have just the bare essential,
and persons buying these some
times find they are charged more
by the contractor as it takes more
of his time to figure out the essen
tial detail. Some designer houses
have very complete plans with
which contractors are glad to
work.
j Architect-designed houses are
usually the best in detail and spec
I ifled fittings. Also the "plan book"
i plan are not suited to everybody,
j Changes are frequently made, and
1 sometimes not until something has
already been done on the strue
; hire.
In a good designer or architect.
, designed house those details art
taken care of by the artist at the
time of drawing the plans.

Pea definitely are a cool
weather crop and will tolerate
amazingly low temperatures. This
vegetable is not over-sensitive to
soil conditions, growing equally
well under a wide range of condi
tions. The planting depth varies
with the time of planting and also
the texture of the soil.
During the cooler part of the
year and On heavy soil the seed
should be set no deeper than one
half Inch. In wanner weather and

prove disastrous. Crowding peas
or any other crop is not exactly
good planting technique. The seed
may bo started in furrows that are
fairly wide. This will help prevent
crowding.
If the soil is thoroughly irrigat
ed prior to planting there will be
sufficient moisture in the soil to
force the seedlings above the sur
face. Sprinkling the land after
planting may cause a crust to form
on the surface. This is known as
baking of the soil. The seedlings
may find it impossible to push
through such a hard strata. If pos
sible hold off watering until the
young plants are two Inches high.

BAST PLANT CARE
Plant care is easier with the
new, decorative water-resistant
flower pot containers made of
plastic rigid sheet, eliminating the
need for paper trimming and un
derline and making possible the
easier watering of plants.
The potted plant is kept in the
plastic container, into which water
is poured so that the plant re
ceives the necessary moisture by
absorption. The container -will not
break when dropped and Is resist

ical and abrasion. It comes in
various size and color.

Used Frames
Make Tables
Perhaps you have an old ploture
or mirror frame that is just tak
ing up waste space in the attic
or basement. With a little work, a
little money (or both), this frame
can be made Into an attractive
coffee table. Round or oval frames
well as square ones
To begin with, if frames- are
very ornate, be sure they are not
constructed partly of plaster. Thi
will chip badly. The frames should
be of all-wood construction.
Take out the picture or mirror,
and sand the frame. If you are
clever, you may then Insert a piece
of masonite in the center, fitting
it tightly against the back of the
frame. A piece of plywood cut to
fit and placed over the masonite
gives additional strength.
Home carpenters will be able
to put on legs themselves, but
others will find It wise to patron
ize one of the local craft shops
where the work can be done at
not too great an expense.
After the carpentry work Is
done, the table may be painted
any color. A flat or satin finish
look best. After landing" tha table
well, apply a coat of filler.
On top of thi add two coats of
flat color (black 1 very strik
ing). Then add two coat of var
nish, and finish off with one eoat
of satln-flnlsh 'vamlsh.
Persons who prefer a glossy fin
ish may use a regular enamel and
finish eff with a couple of coats
of heat and stain roslstapt varnish.
Building Paper Helps
Keep Floors Warm
Are the floors in your house
coid? One way to keep cold air
rrom infiltrating through from be
low is to tack building paper on
the under side of the joists.
Simply take the roll of paper
under the house, and tack It di
rectly to the JolsU. Tack it solid
covering up pipes, etc. This will
stop quite a bit of the cold, damp
air from entering through the
floor, and will protect joists and
flooring from termites and dam
aging dampness.
