o o o o o o SUNDAY. JUNE 5, 1960 10 c MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 1 By ROSE McKEE Washington-The man who supervised the "snooping Into all the homes of the coun try-he estimates that they added up to about 60 million homes-has a one-story, seven room house of his own that delights him and his family. But Wayne F. Daughcrty chief of the housing division f the Census Bureau, was not impressed when he first saw his home, then a newly built stucco and brick rambler. The cul-de-sac on which it stands In suburban Falls Church, Va., was new and the road as yet unpaved. Daughcrty told the National Association of Home Builders: "I didn't see much sense in going in to look at the house. It seemed smaller than what we wanted. But my wife, who had spotted it that afternoon, wanted to see the inside. It turned out the house was every bit as large as we wanted." ' That was 10 years ago. The Daughertys bought the house, the road has long since been paved, and today, lawns and shrubbery are as well-established as the tall trees in the neighborhood. The man whose job right now is to know about the type of homes others live in, had rather modest, although definite, ideas of what he wanted when he bought his house. "We wanted a rambler." he said, "because we were im pressed witn onc-siory nouses. We wanted cross-ventilation jn the bedrooms, a fair-sized lot and a place reasonably close to schools." The Daughertys have two Sons - Wayne, Jr., who was graduated from the local high school five years ago, and Douglas, who will be a gradu ate this June. Walls Are Gnen . Their home has a light green walled and carpeted liv ing room, a dining room, a recreation room where one wall is adorned by a colorful, Mexican straw hat four feet in diameter, a modern kitch en, three bedrooms-all with cross-ventilation - and . two bathrooms. . One of the things about the house that delights the Census Bureau's housing chief is that it has been "flexible." He has been able to push it out and make it grow. What originally was the ga rage has been made into a recreation room. Mr. Daugh erly added a new garage, a icw yards from Ihe housc-and built a covered porch in the space between. The porch Is a handy storage area in win ter and a nice place to sit in cummer. He also knocked out a wall between the living and dining rooms, to give this area an open look. His latest venture was to cut an extra door into the recreation room, which now can be entered from both the kitchen and dining area. Mr. Daugherty's pride is the fireplace "which has never smoked," and which has a new type grate that slants backward "so the logs just roll back on their own." Mrs. Daugherty said she likes having "everything on one floor." Much as he enjoys his home, Mr. Daughcrty is spend ing less time in it these days than usual. Supervision of the housing census is requiring him to do a certain amount of traveling. While every family was asked some questions about their house, every fourth fam ily was questioned more ex tensively on this subject by the Census caller. The enu merator also recorded his or her own observation on the condition of the house-if it is sound, deteriorating or di lapidated. Preparation for the housing census i.irtcd in 1957. Mr. Daughcrty said it will be the spring of 1963 before all the information o b t a i n ed on homes is processed com pletely. He pointed out this Is only the third national housing census. The first questions about houses on a coast-to-coast basis were asked in 1940. In 1950, 46 million housing units were counted. He said that "great changes in housing" have taken place in recent years. He termed "extremely significant" the sharp increase in home own ership. But he said that hous ing standards also have risen. By illustration, he said: "Just a few years ago, what Census Housing: uivisionf , Chief Likes His Home Portland Highlight of the Portland Rosa festival Junt 7-12 will be the Festival center, located in Holladay park near the new multi-million dollar Lloyd's Shopping center. Lea Phillips, chairman of the center this year, is shown sampling a slice of "doboi lortd" a 10-layer Hungarian cake served traditionally on holidays. Girls from the American- Hungarian Society of Oregon will participate in a Hungarian display, one of SO booths on the blreets of the World bazaar which is a part of the four block square amusement center. Import wares from several exotic places will be shown in the area. Woman Speaks On "Goof Trip" For Travel Club everyone wanted was to have a bathroom in the house. Now it's one and a half baths if not two bathrooms. Our standards have risen as our economy has become healthier and more prosperous." Let foods cool before plac ing in the refrigerator. Hot foods lake more cooling -running up electric bills. Wear Polishes Silver New York -IUPH- The best care you can give your ster ling flatware is hard use. The Sterling Silversmiths of America, an association of silver experts, said this makes polishing almost unnecessary and gives the metal a much desired patina. Mrs. Clifford Aldrich, (Miss Pat) was guest speaker for a meeting of the Travel Study club, Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs, held last Tuesday, in the Fireplace room at the Girls Community club. Mrs. Aldrich spoke on "I Goofed my Way Over Europe." Mrs. Aldrich and Miss Karen Johnson, Yreka, Calif., flew to New York and took the Icelandic trip to Norway. They each took a small overnight case, and a large handbag; this was their only luggage. She told of their experien ces in Norway, Sweden, Hol land, Germany, Spain, Italy, French Morrocco, mentioning that they visited all of the European countries and the British Isles. She showed dresses, materials, and jewel ry that she had purchased abroad Mrs. AldVich mentioned that they were guests of a family in Norway and while sight-seeing traveled many places by public conveyance, thereby saving money. In Spain they took dancing les sons and attended the bull fights. She also modeled one of the dresses she had had made in Italy, saying it had been completed in three hours and cost but $10. The two women were in French Morrocco during one of the uprisings, and she de scribed her visit to the Cas- bah. u . Preceding the talk Mrs. Clay M. Lee, president, pre sided at a business meet ing. Mrs. Carl W. Peterson, Ashland, past First District president, and Mrs. Lee gave reports of the Oregon Federa tion of Women's Club's con vention In Portland. Mrs. Gertrude Bartlett, Ashland, gave two poems, "Happiness" and "The Fool?" which she had written. Mrs. Lee closed the session with a thought for the day on happiness. Red roses and candles made tip a table arrangement from which refreshments were served. Pouring were . Mrs Lee and Mrs. Peterson. Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Norman Wade, Mrs. Jason Ottinger, Mrs, Willis T. Fasel, and Mrs. Wil liam E. Boon. Guestsoof the club were Mrs. Mae Russell, Mrs. Bart lett, and Mrs. Aldrich. This is the last meeting of the club until September. There will be a picnic ,at Mrs. Edward C. Hoot s nome for meirfoers and their hus bands the latter part of June.
