Many family reunions and din ­
ners were held in Halsey on Christ,
mas day and numerous parties
were given. Most of the young
people attending the different col­
leges came home to spend the holl-
days, many of them bringing with
ti.em a college friend ,o enjoy the
pleasures of the yule time season.
On Saturday evening a C hrist­
is is program wrs given at both
the Methodist and the Christian
churches by the Sunday school
pupils. Prettily trimmed Christ­
mas trees added to the attractive­
ness of the other church decora­
tions.

Automobile owners find frequently
when they dispose of their first carl
and secure new and larger one« that
the garage space available Is Inade­
quate; iu such case either an addition
must be built to the old garage or an
«“ tlrely new building erected at con-
siuerable expense.
For a single-ear garage a minimum
insde width of 12 feet Is desirable
and a two-car garage 20 or 22 feet For
garages of the multi car or community
types, u width of not less than 10 feet
should be allowed for each car. If
permanent partitions are erected be­
tween stalls, a width of 12 feet Is rec­
ommended.
A length of less than 20 feet Is
seldom advisable, and for larger cars
22 to 24 feet Is not too much. These
dimensions allow plenty of working
sptce around the car and provide e
room for a small workbench, closets
and shelves for car accessories. The
convenience of the extra space Is
worth many times the slight addi­
tional cost of bulldiDg the garage 2
or 4 feet longer.
The overall length of various types
and makes of automobiles varies
greatly from the Ford, which meas­
ures about 12 feet 3 inches with front
aud rear bumpers, to the Fierce-Arrow
seven-passenger touring model, which
measures 17 feet 4 inches, and the
Cadillac
seven-passenger
touring
model with an extreme length of 17
feet 0 Inches, bumper-equipped.

Mrs. Charles Ham er and family of

Sickels and Mrs. H am er’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Chancy Sickels, a few
miles soutuwestof the city, to spend
Christmas. The younger members
of the party enjoyed a tree on
which Santa had hung many gifts
overnight, early Sunday morning
and at noon a sumptuous dinner
was served.

Oregon,December 29.
Outside paint work, subjected to the
iard wear of the elements, should be
renewed at least every three to five
jears, depending on its condition and
•rpearance. If one's purse Is suited
to stand the strain, a building should
be painted every two years. Two-coats
«re necessary. For the first coat the
paint is generally reduced with tur
pontine or oil. while the finishing coat
is seldom reduced with anything ex
copt linseed oil.
A prepared paint containing the
maximum qualities of carbonate of
leud, oxide of zinc and pure linseed
is best.
-Many persons make the mistake of
using house paint on Inside floors,
th is will not do, as the house palm
will never dry hard enough and the
floor will always be a bit sticky. Deck
paint Is prepared for porches.
Rough Surfaced Brick
Vogue of Exteriors
brickwork Is rapidly undergoing _ a
radical change at the hands of the
leading architects of the country, who
are fast getting uway from the old
idea that in order to supply the verj
last touch in artistry it must present a
surface as smoothly even and correct
ns If it had been molded. No longer Is
this the fashion, nor Is it acceptable to
the men who dictate architectural
vogues.
Today the brickwork which catches
quickest the public eye and the popu
lur fancy must be very rough. And
the brick themselves must be of tin
same order. The rougher the better
