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

land its equipment.
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.

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.

Leisure - Hour Enjoyment
Needs Free -Time Budget
By PATRICIA McCORMACK

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

sinful and that it's true what
they said about "all work"
making Jack a dull boy.
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.

Teachers
Home From
Europe
Eagle Point - Two Eagle
Point teachers, Mr. and Mrs.
Don McGovern, have return
ed home after spending two
months traveling in Europe.
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.
The McGoverns made the
trip over and back by the
polar route. Their first Euro
pean stop , was in London,
where they spent a week and
saw Mr. and Mrs. Billie Car
lison. 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.
They also made stops in Salz
burg, Austria, and in Berch
tesgaden, Germany, this latter

In Munich they spent some
