He Iwas the former owner of the land which the Revolutionary War n. jeral got as a reward for his serv ices. Blue was one of the first paint colors to appear in this country In early Colonial days. A "fancy green" was made of unscorched pulverized coffee, mixed with the whits of an egg. On rubber and asphalt tile floors, use nothing but emulsion wax. That is a water-thinned type.

" BY MVLUNS BRIGHTER HOMES Ranch House With Smart Lines, Good Plan 9i. .-. (t A Yv'.-' v ' LL- I hi t rl 1 iu HOME and GARDEN illBT FRAZIKB Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Sun., Aug. 21, 1949 Page 9C The srart lines of this ranch-type home em brace a floor plan that offers gracious livinjr, rooms planned to avoid traffic jams, and isolated sleeping quarters. A low gabled roof surmounting the 57-foot sweep of the front elevation makes the house appear to hog the ground closely. Architects, Cull & Robinson added character by facing the exterior at the left of the entrance with white painted brick, the remainder with rough gray stone. Gable ends of polished redwood in nat ural color lend more distinction. Front and rear entrances have flagstone terraces. The house is connected to the garage at the rear with a breezeway, glass-enclosed for y ear around use. A full basement contains heating Slant and laundry facilities. Insulated with full lick mineral wool in walls and celling, a saving of at least one-third in the annual fuel bill is possible in a house of this design, while rooms would be as much as 15 degrees cooler on hot test summer days. A well-planned center hall affords easv access to all rooms. Two bathrooms are adjacent to the two bedrooms. The den, large enough to be used as a third bedroom, also is located in this half of the house. The L-shaped living-dining-room is arranged with dining area convenient to the kitchen. The huge picture window at that end and another in front living-room wall afford a sense of greater spaciousness by bringing the outdoors inside. Sparrow's Corn Has Tall Rival Corn grows tall on Beacon Drive, too, according to Mrs. Charles Thompson, 685 Beacon Drive. She says her coin which was planted in May is now 13 toot tall and "going higher". Four or five ears of the golden stuff re pose on eaoh stalk, too. Mrs. Thompsons report fol lowed closely one from Frank Sparrow, who lives out S. Wil lamette Way. His is nearly as tall and he was in the Onion Editor's office asking if perhaps Route T has a warning light to put on his corn, so the airplanes could go around. West Pine Shipments One-quarter pint of paint or ay-, r ml HAi'At'M ennfnvlmelaln 1 1 Reported Holding Steadyjsquare feet. PORTLAND m Orders - Western pine lumber increased In; the week ended Aug. 13, while shipments and production held about steady, the Western Pine Assn. reported. In comparison with weekly Au gust averages for the past three years, production is up sharply, but both orders and shipments are down. AMERICA'S FINEST TILLAGE TOOL Store Awnings With Care for Next Year When awnings are taken down at the end of the summer, they should be carefully inspected and repaired. For seams that need re stitching, use a good waxed thread. After repairs are made, awnings should be scrubbed with mild soap, and thoroughly rinsed and dried. Metal parts should be light ly oiled. Hang awnings on storage racks with as few folds as possible. SMALL WINDOWS A house that has window open ings of different sizes or shapes is likely to have a jumbled ap pearance, if the windows are em phasized by different color treat ment than the walls. It is advisable to conceal this lack of unity by paintinc them the same color as the house. Shutters. If any, should I be removed from the small win- dows which are dissimilar In area, leaving only those of the larger and more uniform size. i JKX tM,l Ml 1 -n , hp F. K. BREWER Examine Home Before Buying An older house can prove a good buy if the purchaser determines the value in advance by careful inspection. Since much of the construction is hidden and a buyer cannot ex- amine structural detail as when building a new house, it is ad visable to employ a disinterested HUkJlttisei, ail ai imbei. ami a nvav- ing engineer to inspect the house. The appraiser will know whether the house is worth the asking price the architect will advise on costs and methods of alternations and repairs; and the heating ex pert will know if the heating plant is adequate. The buyer himself can deter mine many points. Look for an even pour of the concrete founda tion without large patches of grav el. If concrete dents or chips eas ily under light hammer blows, it is not sound. Tapping the base ment floor will reveal hollows which may eventually let the con crete break down. Center of the house should be supported by wood or metal lally columns topped by a girder or heavy beam through the middle of the basement. Joists should be cross-braced and joists and studs not more than 16 inches apart. All doors should stand where stopped. If they continue to swing, frames are out of plumb, a condition difficult to remedy. Porch floors should be pitched for drainage. Try the win dows for easy operation and align ment in their frames. Masonry and plaster cracks can be a sign of more trouble to come, by further settling of the house or as a result of dampness. Ex amine the roof for missing or curl ed shingles. If shingles are defect ive, a completely new roof may be needed. Look for water stains on walls and ceilings that indicate roof or plumbing leaks. Check the stairwell for suffi cient head room. Triangular wind ing stairs are dangerous. Don't let a flashy paint job or a recently modernized kitchen or bath distract attention from the basic structural soundness. Part of the cost of owning a home Is Its repair and operation and only a house in which these items can be held to a minimum is a good buy. Rubrum Lilies On Goodpasture F. R. Kingsley, 1300 Goodpas ture Rd., wonders why more people in Lane County aren't growing rubrum lilies. He brought some of the showy, orchid-like flowers for the Onion Editor to see the other day. Right now he has a whole acre of them in bloom a galaxy of color, he says. He started grow ing the lilies three years ago and finds the climate here ideal. They multiply rapidly and are easy to raise, he says. Kingsley feels that most people around here aren't familiar with the color-splashed rubrum vari ety of lily. That's why, he says, anyone who wants to see his colorful field will be welcomed Variety of Stains Are Available Wooden shingles on a roof should be stained, never painted. Moisture will get under the paint film as it wears off, causing the wood to rot. Preservative stains are available in many colors, and since they penetrate the wood, the danger of rot is avoided. Shingles used as siding on ex terior walls can be painted with out harm because water drains off the side walls before it can seep under the shingles. Oil paint should not be applied to shingles which have been stain ed since most stains will bleed through the paint. Best procedure is to cover stained shingles with one coat of aluminum paint, then apply the oil pigment. SALES & SERVICE 1305 W. 6th Tel. 5-4143 Knox to Superintend County Fair Products Fred G. Knox, manager of the Eugene Public Market, will be superintendent of land products for the 1949 Lane County Fair. The department will include special individual exhibits and community collective exhibits. The individual groups will in clude grain and forage crops and fruit specials.

Knox urged that all members of the county granges do every' thing possible to collect entries for the community exhibits. Out standing products of their farms may be shown in the divisions which include grain and forage crops, horticultural, vegetables and floral exhibits. Koroseal Chintz New And Smart An Interesting development in upholstery and drapery fabrics is the new Koroseal, chintz-patterned materials. Waterproof, and re sistant to dust, stain, sun and mil dew, the fabric Is easily kept clean by sponging with soap and water. This makes the material especially desirable for a child's room. Boudoir chairs covered in these new chintz-uke fabrics, match ing draperies, and yard goods are now available in local stores.
