St The Home Library . . . The Ann rican home library i comma back. The lianclM'int'sl I liign of the fact is in the "Pace. Setter llou.-e lor ltioti." .-iiown in the July issue of "Hoie i Beautiful" magazine. A nice: thins about it, from the outlook of an id sawmill hand, is that j you can scarcely have a home1 library without hookshek cs. and architects agreed lon uu.0 that. West, Coa--l hemlock helvini; is the best thine available, under books as well as under kitclvn- ; ware and dishes. ! In Seattle Realtor lirnry . Bi'odei ick and Attorney Ralph , Bushnell Potts, both of them au- j thors of books, have local prize contests goin? for essays on two subiec's. One is. "The Home Library ami It Character B. Hid ing Influences " The second e sav contest is on tlic theme. "The Value of a Home Library for Self Education." In each case a iirst prue of SI00 is offered, with a number of secondary prizes to no alon. Famous author of hooks. Nard Jones, is promoting the contest, while the Seattle Operation Home Iinprocment program is sponsoring it The Pace Setter House . . . The home library spot makes a uood talk'.nu point to start on in 'floo.-e Beautiful s' fine fea ture inr July. Here is a picture that Jios the better par! of a b; pauc It is uiorified by wood m walls, window frames, furru Tnre. the oaneim of a double fireplacc divider between living room and dimn: room, and in t br- lar-i nri library shekes. From the shelves a itlory slimes forth in a blond of colors that li-i'tt the view with vivid aoiieil tor the ."0-fnol length of lo, mc r'o!ii and dininct room, phis firenh.ee space. The colors are in tiie rich binainps of rare I old books, a noble collection ; that iills the main shelves. I Move to the left and look : along the ,-idcwall. between j doors titat open to a spacious i patio, and tiiere more shelves of books rise from floor to roof, i Here are new books, and the I colors are from decorated dust ! jacket.-. All tlip books, new and old iiariiioniit witn tile w oud of the walls. It is the new trend, the mod! in way. Not so lone ago the hook publishers feared that ! icli vision might be their rum. But. no. Somehow TV has hclp , ed the booksellers. Seems that i people like to turn on the tele j vision, and then go sit down and read books, i Old Standby . . . J Library or not. books or what ; not. the Pace Setter House pro I iects wood as the basic material lor a house of permanence, yet j a house with flexibility and I workability of framing, siding. flooring and interior walls. Thus I Architect Morgan Stedman has j been able to make a 40-year-old i house over into a residence t)f ; contemporary design and char j acter. I An accomplishment of the l kind means a tremendous lot of 1 ! the timber economy of the Pa- ! i cif ic Northwest. This year's ! ' House Beautiful" Pace Setter i is of a style that calls unmistak ably for Douglas fir beams, posts and framing, with West Coast ! hemlock decking and shelving. ' the Western red cedar paneling and siding. Every nationally published ex ample of the kind, and every new enthusiasm like that of the Seattle home library promotion, helps to put lumber to work in home construction.
