Sunset Magazine
Stories Feature
Home and Valley
The March issue of Sunset
magazine includes two items of
particular interest in the Rogue
valley. One concerns a section
of the Vinson Vaughan home at
Eagle Point. The other, entitled
"March travel, in and beyond
-the Pacific Northwest," shows a
scene of orchards in bloom in
the Rogue River valley and sug
gests drives for visitors to make
1in.Jn ivtlTW a an1 4hfl fi ret
part of April, to view the fruit
blossoms. Suggested are the
stretches between Medford and
McLeod, Jacksonville, Murphy
and .Applegate.
The layout for the Vaughan
home includes two photographs
and a floor plan for the Vaughan
children's dormitory-style living
quarters. Ben H. Todd, Medford
architect, mentioned in the 6tory,
designed the home and the bed
room wing.
The plan for the room points
up that instead of many tiny
rooms, the Vaughans decided on
one large dormitory, 13 by 30
feet, with the sleeping cubicles
divided by wardrobes. This
leaves a large space for a play
area. A. 10-foot-long desk with
shelves above extends along the
wall of the play area.

Cleaning of Floor
Subject of Bulletin
You can save yourself a lot
of work in cleaning floors. Elim
inating wasted motions, poor
tools and wrong cleaning sup
plies can do the trick. .
Those work -savers are dis
cussed in a new publication
issued jointly by the Oregon,
Washington and Idaho agricul
tural extension services.
One energy-saver is to drv
mop from side to side, it ad
vises. Storing cleaning supplies
near where they are used will
help, too.
The bulletin also explains dif
ferences between water-base and
solvent-base waxes and the right
kinds of cleaners to use.
The publication was prepared
by Hilda Frederick, Mary Beth
Minden and Helen Noyes, exten
sion home management special
ists in the three states. This
bulletin, "Floors and Their
Care," may be obtained from
county extension agents or Ore
gon State college.
