1 J MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dforJ, Ortjen, Tutidiy, Auguit 26, 1958 House Designer Locates Washer in Linen Closet Br ROSE McKEE Washington-Washing of the family clothes, once an opera tion for the basement or the back porch, soon may be moved right up to the linen closet in the home. A test to see if this is not the most convenient location in the home for the washer dryer will be run in a re search house being erected at South Bend, Ind. The experimental house is being built by the Research Institute of the National Asso ciation of Home Builders Cn'AHB) in an effort to find ways of providing Americans with better homes at less cost. Andrew S. Place, chairman of the board of trustees of the Research Institute and a South Bend builder who i& erecting the house, said the overall purpose is to try out new types of building mate rials and equipment that will cut costs, be durable and make a house even more at tractive. He said the NAHB is looking for improvements that can be put to immediate use in home building rather than for innovations so far fetched they may not be prac tical for 20 years. Laundry Studied But Place said that in plan ning the house, researchers gave consideration to such ar rangement details as the loca tion of the washer-dryer. With functional improvement in mind, they studied the move ment of soiled clothes from the point of origin through the washing and drying pro cesses to the return to the linen closet or other storage chest. Place said they concluded that it is the bedroom-bath room area in which most clothes get earmarked for the laundry. It would be efficient, then, to put the washer-dryer as close' to this area as pos sible, they decided. In the South Bend research huose, the washer-dryer will be accessible to both the linen closet and the soiled clothes bin. The housewife who event ually will live in the research house can stand at the ma chine, reach the clothes to be laundered without taking a step, put them in the washer, set the controls and, if she wishes, go shopping. Returning, she can stand in the same spot, remove the clean and dry clothes and put them in the linen closet again without taking a step. The research house, a one story, six-room structure, will be open to the public for a period after its completion. It then will be sold to a select ed buyer who will agree to letm embers of the NAHB's Research Institute make per formance checks on the house Cuddle Twins This baby doll comes with complete wardrobe!

The house will have a nat- ural redwood exterior, with a I deep blue for accent under i the windows, a light blue roof ' and a beige trim. It will be i "loaded with storage space," : according to Place. ! He said another arrange- I ment' features to be tested in i the house is the location of the bathroom It will be ec cessible from the outside so that Junior can come in and clean up before entering the rest of the house. The idea is he will not have to track up the kitchen or living room to get to soap, water, and towel. The bathroom also will be ac cessible to the three bedrooms of the house without a wast age of hall space. The South Bend house is one of two research projects sponsored by the NAHB. The other is being built at Knox ville, Tennessee. The Masonite Corporation of Chicago is a co-sponsor of the Knoxville House. The NAHB's first re search house was completed last year at Kensington, Md., near Washington, D.C., and is now occupied by a family. It undergoes periodic tests of materials and equipment.

Mar banc Miami UNESCO Delegate Is Visitor Among interesting visitors in the valley recently was Mrs. Helen Tucker, United Nations association alternate delegate to the Canadian National commission for UNESCO. Mrs. Tucker, who is from Port Credit, a suburb of Toronto, was a guest here of her sis ter and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Groleau, 310 North Barneburg road. Mrs. Tucker, who acted as chairman of the group of 30 Canadian women during a month's stay in Japan, was en route home when she stopped briefly in Medford. Mrs. Groleau reports that her sister was impressed with the beauty of the Rogue valley and southern Oregon, and en joyed a performance of "The Merchant of Venice" at the Oregon Shakespearean festi val, Ashland. Mrs. Tucker, who has seen many Shakespearean plays at the Stratford, Ontario, thea ter in Canada, made a num ber of interesting compari sons. The cast of the Ashland festival production of the play was younger than that used in Ontario, and the play was interpreted in a lighter vein, the visitor noted. She remarked on the fact that the local theater is given an air of antiquity, noted the "gor geous color" of the costumes, said she enjoyed the songs and dances before the per formance and was intrigued with the fact that because the theater is open air, patrons watch the skies at night for sputnik to appear. Mr. Groleau, an engineer at Rogue Valley hospital, took the visitor on a tour of the new Rogue Valley Memorial hospital and told her of the donations that had made the structure possible. Mrs. Tucker reported on the UNESCO commission's stay in Japan and said the members were graciously re ceived. She reported that she received many letters from housewives., clerks, cab driv ers and students who said they would like to come to America, some to finish school, and asking for advice on how this might be accom plished. She said the people seemed very interested in the UNESCO mission and be lieved it to be a worthwhile project in promoting better feeling between the East and West. This was the second such UNESCO cultural mission, and doubt had been expressed as to the outcome. The group considered it an "outstand ing" success, Mrs. Tucker re ported. Commission members were interviewed for radio, television and newspapers, members were honored at governmental functions, vis ited schools, attended Boy Scout events and otherwise were introduced to the Japa nese people and their way of life.

Si JSS m Leisure - Hour Enjoyment Needs Free -Time Budget By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New Y o rk-(UPD-Leisure, like money, can slip through your fingers without your knowing where it went. And it can be spent unwisely. That's why, according to the recreation experts, some persons complain about never having enough time for play. If you're always "too tired" to have fun, that's anotrier matter. You may be sick and should see a doctor. But some persons, accord ing to psychiatrists, don't get good mileage out of leisure time because they have "guilt feelings" about it and feel that they must be working all the time or looking busy, at least. Many experts suggest that those who can't seem to en joy their leisure time go about solving their problem scientifically. . First, of course, convince yourself that leisure is not Bridge Club Names Last Week's Winners Eleven tables of players took part in last week's ses sion of Medford Duplicate Bridge club.

Then, in much the way you would go about making a budget for your money, work up a budget for your time. . Jot down, day by day, the way you spend you time. Con sider work, commuting, eat ing, sleeping, trips to the powder room, shopping, talk ing on the street corner, dood ling, looking over magazines at the newsstand, watching television, walking the dog. Put down everything. Juggle the time budget, in much the way you do the family budget, until you have well-defined blocks of time for tomorrows to enjoy. And then let yourself go! Maybe your problem is that you have too much free time and dont' know how to spend it. Or, perhaps, you have too many interests and are going off in all directions. You, too, should figure out a schedule. Like the person who is too busy working all the time, you may have to curtail one or another of your activities in order to save pre clous hours for what you real ly enjoy doing. If you feel isolated, unap preciated or shunned, maybe you're spending too much of your free time alone. Or you may be just plain shy. In that case, here are some pointers: ' j Be a joiner. Inquire about ' the League of Women Voters, the auxiliary at the hospital, or any of the dozens of other organizations in your town. They're always looking for new faces. -Once in, be active, doing anything no matter how me nial it seems. You'll meet new friends and have fun. - Your leisure time activity will be most rewarding if it is different from your work-a-day world. Leisure is an exciting op portunity. Make the most of it and you'll have the time of your life. 3 When you know approximate costs, see the friendly loan officer at your nearby First National Branch.

Mr. McGovern teaches shop in Eagle Point High school and his wife teaches seventh grade. Mr. McGovern, who had been in Europe during World War II," endeavored to revisit as many places as pos sible familiar to him from war days.

Mr. Carlison, a former student of Mr. McGovern, is now stationed in England with the United States Army. From London the McGov erns went to Brussels and spent three days attending the world's fair. They decided the United States building was the most beautiful at the fair but expressed disappoint ment in the display, believing that it does not portray this nation as it should. After spending a week in Paris, tjie couple went to Madrid and from there to the island of Majorca. They were especially interested in visit ing the home of the author. George Sands, who wrote some of her bet known works there. The couple flew from Ma jorca to Marseilles and then visited Cannes on the Rivie ra. In Italy they made stops in Pisa, Rome, Naples and Salerno. Since Mr. McGovern had participated in the Anzio beachhead landing during the war, he was particularly in terested in revisiting this area. After leaving Italy Mr. and Mrs. McGovern went to Yugo slavia where they spent sev eral days with relatives of Mrs. McGovern in Delnice.
