Keep them as air tight . at possible, bomemaking specialists advise. Close doors hen not in use. By doing so you allow the fra grant fumes of the cedarwood oil to remain at full strength.

Limit Cut in Dairy Supports WASHINGTON W - A House- agriculture subcommittee voted unanimously Tuesday to limit re duction in government price sup ports for dairy products to no more than five per cent In any one year. The recommendation was made to the full agriculture committee by a special dairy subcommittee headed by Rep. Andresen R Minn). If enacted by Congress, it would cancel out two-thirds of the sup port slash set for April 1 by Sec retary of Agriculture Benson. The secretary's order would reduce government dairy supports from 90 to 75 per cent of parity. Parity is a price determined by legal for mula to be fair to farmers in re lation to prices they pay. Benson announced the reduction for the start of the support year April 1 because of nearly a billion pounds of processed dairy sur pluses already bulging government warehouses. Of this total, 280 mil' lion pounds are butter. Andresen said he hoped to get action on the subcommittee rec ommendation before the April 1 deadline, telling newsmen the 15 per cent cut would "injured the economy of the entire country." A.

KFwreber Information and Wuepoota awarlabfe from arctihect) On the House By DAVID G. BAREUTHEK AP Real Estate Editor HOW TO SELECT a heating plant for a home is a problem that is becoming increasingly complex in the midst of all the claims and counterclaims made for various types of heat. For several years it seemed that we all had to have radiant heat or we'd be old-fashioned. Then all of a sudden the air con ditioning team installed its own cheer leaders. Builders forgot all tne nice things they had said about radiant heat and seemed to imply that if you couldn't af ford year-round air conditioning, your best bet would be at least to Install circulating warm air in order to have ducts readv for the coming revolution. Well, it isn't hard to find good points in anv successful heating system. And apparently the public knows this. Radiant baseboards, for instance, put on the most speclacular popularity show since World War II in any general classification of heating systems. A survey of total heating in stallations in 17 states and the District of Columbia shows that baseboard radiation, among all wet heat" installations. iumDed from 11 per cent in 1947 to 40 per cent five years later. In the same period, radiant panel instal lations rose only from 12 to 14 per cent. Cast iron radiators fell off from 3B to 17 per cent, and convectors also slipped from 41 to 29 per cent. These figures are from a sur vey published by the Official Bul letin of the Heating, Piping and Air Conditioning Contractors Na tional Association. The survey had been made on request of the American Iron and Steel Insti tute. Warm air, of course, over shadowed all of the "wet heats." "WARM AIR is predominantly used in smaller home construc tion to save builders' costs," an engineer observes. "Modern hos pitals and luxury apartment houses use hot water because it gives constant and quiet heat Industrial buildings may use steam because it can be forced quickly through pipes over long distances." Because so manv prospective home builders ask about the three systems, we were discuss ing them with Charles J. Kern, chief application engineer for Warren, Webster & Co., heating equipment manufacturers. "Many home buyers might be persuaded to take air heating to get air cooling," Kern said. "But they forget that they are buying air heating for several cold months of the year and air cooling for perhaps only one hot month. Thus they may trade winter comfort for summer com fort in far unequal proportions." Kern contends that heating and cooling, are two separate problems, each having their best separate solutions.
