'Ideal' Community
Opened in Florida
Said 'Dream City'
Hollywood. Fla. 0J.F9 Com-
' xmmity friendship and spirit
have been built right into a
$36,000,000 "dream city" just
officially opened here.
' . One thousand of the eventual
4,000 homes planned for the
community of Miramar were sold
in the first two weeks after the
development was opened by its
builders, Robert W. Gordon and
Hy.Siegel, on a tract of 1,000
'acres 17 miles north of Miami.
Gordon wanted to plot an
"ideal" community, complete
with everything, from shopping
centers to churches, and includ
ing ample recreational and play-
ground facilities. Also, he plan
ned self-contained utilities, water
purification, and sewage disposal
plants. - ..; ' ' : - "
All this, plus sample homes,
took three years to get from
drawing bqards to the ground,
. and this gave Gordon and Siegel
ample time to work out another
element to their program. They
wanted the eventual 16,000 resi
dents ' of, . Miramar to have a
friendly community spirit. :
- Even a Cat
If the home-seeker desires, his
house will be delivered com
pletely furnished and stocked,
down to a refrigerator full of
food. A committee will meet new
families at the station or airport
, and . escort them to their : new
' abodes. That evening there will
be a community reception to in-
troduce them to their new neigh-
, bors. :-':. V
The new residents are; in
; formed in advance of every
, ; thing, from the number of types
' of citrus trees on their property
to the medical facilities avail-
able in the area. The women will
have invitations to join a va
; riety of clubs ranging in interest
.from bridge to literature, while
: husbands .will have a choice of
acquiring new cronies whose in
terests cover everything from
tropical fish breeding to water
; skiing. There will be free classes
' covering subjects of interest to
" various age groups amonchiI
dren. .
- Gordon will even supply a cat
if anyone wants this added
: homey touch. '
Pels Give Clue To
Proper Home Heating
Minneapolis U.PJ If your
cat catnaps on top of the piano,
- chances are you could use more
heat In your house. - " '
; House pets, engineers say, can
'give you a cue to whether, or
not your house ' is comfortably
heated. Research conducted here
: has revealed that floor tempera
tures and the temperature of air
directly above it are important
. to comfort. If the floor is- too
cold, causing the cat to' seek a
. higher perch, then your house
will probably be uncomfortable
this winter season. ; . : .
This is because a great deal
of the critical, heat-loss area of
your body is within 36 inches
of the floor. Approximately 30
per cent of the total heat dis
sipated by your body, the engi
neers , explain, is ; from v your
. hands, arms, legs from the knees
.; down, and your feet.
: For your comfort and that, of
your pets floor temperatures
should not be less than 63 to
70. -J
Versatile Zippers
Put To New Uses
New York (U.R) The ver
satile zipper has been put to a
neW use giving an added mea
sure of protection against high
altitude leakage of " liquids in
the baggage of passengers on
Lockheed's Super Constellation
'planes.
Thirty-three panels in two
lower-fuselage baggage compart
ments of each new Super Con
stellation are closed by pressure
sealing zippers. Thus, the com
partments are afforded virtually
the same pressurization as the
cabins. Cabin pressure at 33,000
feet altitude is roughly the
equivalent of the pressure at an
altitude of 8,000 feet in a non
pressurized plane. . -
The baggage compartment lin-
' ers are made of fiberglass com
bined with a special rubber com-

Silo Home Serves
As Ideal Structure
; Chardon, O. U.R) Most per
sons would think twice before
establishing residence in some
thing resembling a farm silo, but
it's the most natural thing in'the
world to Glenn V. Gladville. i
It's natural because Gladville
has built silos for 37 years. He's
president of the Silica . Silo Co.
' Gladville lives in what - ap
pears to be a series of three of
the odd circular structures top
ped by a conventional roof. The
unusual building, ;, located south
of Chardon,: is built entirely of
silica silo blocks, has two floors,
a central heating ; system and
copper plumbing. J j; h ; ;
All rooms are circular and 16
f e e t . in diameter. . Downstairs
there is a washroom and a util
ity, room. Upsairs -there are two
circular rooms, a bathroom and
a closet. An artistic ' circular
stairway leads from the lower
to Ihe upper story. ;:?-
Gladville built his first silo
home several years ago in Balti
more; :;;.i;:;:H
- ("At that time I frequently had
td spend, a lot of time in, Balti
more," Gladville! said. . "Often
hotel space seemed to ; be un
available so I built a houe with
my' product and always had .a
place to stay when I had to be
in Baltimore." ' ' y :. .'
Gladville said the house is
cool in the summer and warn
in -the winter. He added that it
could be painted for: as' little
as S15. . . , , .
The silo house near here was
built at a cost of $12,000.
