for those who still prefer the familiar
basement home.
When built with Plan A. the Orion
has a total cubage of 14,100. Built
with Plan B, It has 16,350 cubic feet.
With cost estimates for home con
struction ranging national between
20 and 30 cents per cubic foot, ap
proximate cost for Plan A and Plan
B of the Orion are readily calculated.
The Orion, being 23 feet wide and
nearly twice as long, la attractively
designed for erection on a narrow
city lot or where, for reasons of
landscaping or convenience, the home
builder wants to make length rather
than width the predominating di

F lo o r Plan
Value of the pears annually ex
ported, which are perishable and re
quire prompt handling, is approxi
mately five million doUars, and most
growers face almost certain ruin if
this year's crop Is cut off from ex
port, further than already restricted
by hostilities in Europe. Since ex
port shipments of pears reach their
peak In October and sales must be
negotiated and shipments arranged
now or this business will be lost, as
surance that there will not be a
tie-up of Pacific Coast shipping Is
vital to the industry, the Pear Bur
eau contends.
The letter explaining the action
of the meeting Is addressed Jointly
to the Waterfront Employers Associ
ation of the Pacific Coast and the
International Longshoremen and
Warehousemen's Union.
"We are not now considering the
causes or merits of the differences
that concern you," the communica
tion states, "but those whom we
represent are profoundly concerned
if these differences result in the ty
ing up of foreign shipments. The
result would be disastrous to grow
ers, employers and all who are di
rectly involved In tho pear Industry."
