j MANCHESTER, O. U.R) The
oldest house known to be occu
pied In Ohio, built by Gen. Nath
ianiel Massie in 1791. has hn r,M
; daughter of William Baldwin. 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.

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.

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

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.

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. The collective ex
hibits will be limited to agricul
tural organizations, and will show
marketable products representa-
uve of the community; commu
nity living, including processed
home foods and fresh fruits and
vegetables; and community team
work displayed in organizing the
agricultural exhibits.
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.
