This Week's Home For Living
By HIAWATHA ESTES.
Planned for modern tastes
and modest budgets is this
handsome "contemp orary"
home. Basic without being
"small", it incorporates three
bedrooms, two baths and spa
cious living and ' work areas
in less than 1200 square feet.
All rooms radiate from a
short center hall - thus no
area is interrupted with cross
room traffic.

ed Wednesday that it let a
record total of $63,400,000
worth of contracts in 1958.

lights the living room and a
big fireplace is the center of
interest for furniture group
ings. Large sliding glass doors
open the dining alcove to the
rear ..yard giving this area
both front and garden views.
Room dividers or shoji panel
screens could be used to de
fine these areas if desired.
A second spot for family
meals is the eating area in the
kitchen. Built'- in cooking
units overhead cupboards and
ample counters will lighten
household duties in this com
pact work center. Home
laundry equipment is located
in the service area with over
head cabinets for supplies.
A door between the kitchen
and. front; hall saves steps
when the doorbell rings.
The master bedroom has a
private three-quarter bath,
built-in' storage- and a large
wardrobe. Corner windows
and high sliding casements al
low for plenty of light and
cross-ventilation.
The front bedroom could
be used as a den or television
room. High-set casement win
dows and unbroken wall areas
in the corner bedroom will
make it easy to arrange the
furnishing in a number of
different ways. '
A built-in ladder in the hall
leads to the attic'- installed
forced-air heater.
The neat pattern of Roman
brick " veneer ' which covers
most of the garage front is
repeated in the planter and
fireplace chimney. A gable
light of obscure glass tops the
stucco half of the garage and
the stained plywood planter
box is supported by black
iron pipes.
Complete working drawing of
the above plan can be obtained
at a cost of $7.50 for the first
set and $5 for each additional set,
when ordered at the same time.

Studies Vo-Ag
How many people would
be so eager to study agricul
ture that they would be will
ing to take two buses to get
to school and back home ev
ery day?
Not many. Yet Gilbert Har
rison, a freshman in. voca
tional agriculture at Crater
high school does it every day.
He lives in Lone Pine non
high school district, adjacent
to Medford and is allowed to
choose between going to Cra
ter high in Central Point to
study vo-ag or to Medford
high school. He lives on a
small dairy farm and is inter
ested in farming so he chose
to attend Crater even though
it meant a long bus ride every
day.
Although he is only a fresh
man among 90 other fresh
men in -his class, his instruc
tor, Ed Griggs has noticed his
intense interest in everything
pertaining to agriculture.
Gil's father has nine acres
to support a small dairy herd.
The Harrisons sell enough
milk to more than pay for
keeping the cows, young Har
rison said. The family raises
its own vegetables and Gil's
younger brother, who is
about his age, raises chickens.
The farm is actually more of
a subsistence type of farm.
The father works for Medford
Meat company as his full-time
job.
Plan Larger Farm
Small though the farm may
be the Harrisons have what
almost amounts to a Grade A
dairy. They also have big
plans for a much larger dairy
farm with 20 head of Guern
seys or Holsteins on 40 acres.
Gil's older brother and father
are already in partnership on
their present dairy farm, - The
future farmer hopes to join
that partnership when the
family expands its operations
in the future.
To that end he is studying
vo-ag and working on his' su
pervised farming project of a
Guernsey cow and one beef
animal.- The steer he bought
at a local feeder sale. His am-
bition is to have at least five
registered Guernseys by the
time he is a high school sen
ior. He borrowed the money
from the bank to get the
steer.
Money for his steer and the
future dairy herd is being
earned through hauling hay
for a neighbor. Employment
in this job isn't regular so ev
ery dollar earned is carefully
hoarded.-
Young Harrison this early
doesn't know yet what he will
study or if he will go to col
lege after high school. He does
say he has learned quite a bit
- such as how to feed steers
and cows, how to find the
right portions of feed and get
the most gain for what is fed.
In Future Farmers of Amer
ica chapter at Crater high Gil
is active in parliamentary
work. He is also turning out
for sports such " as football
and wrestling.
Gil rightfully feels that the
new trend is for the small
farmer to get bigger in order
to survive. His interest and
vo-ag training may help.
There are about 6,000 active
camera clubs within the Unit
ed States.
Central Polnf Youth

Corvalli s Donh Royal

gon State college.

home address is 733 Hazel st.,
Central Point.
Washington - (DPD Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra T. Benson
had a special reason today to
be thankful he was spending
Christmas Day with his fam
ily. For a while it appeared
the 59 - year - old secretary
might celebrate the Yule from
a hospital bed. Benson fell
and dislocated his left shoul
der while ice skating Wed
nesday with members of his
family. He was taken to
Walter Reed Army hospital
for treatment and released
just in time to make it home
for Christmas Eve.
