Resort-Retirement Home Becoming Trend in America Scientific advancements that have given men and wom en longer life expectancies have sparked a new trend, in planning vacation houses so they can be finished into per manent year-round homes for retirement years. More than 75,000 dwellings of this type are now being built throughout the country, reports the Construction Re search bureau, national clear ing house for building infor mation. And, despite the at tractions of warm - climate areas, most of these combina tion homes are being built within a few miles of home towns so their owners can remain close to relatives and lifelong friends when they retire. The new vacation-retirement home evolving is more sturdy and permanent than old-style summer cottages and yet more modest and informal than suburban or country homes. Economical and easy maintenance are key design factors. Long-lasting interior finishes that lighten house work and eliminate costly re decorating such as easy-to-clean plastic-coated wallpa pers and wall panels, Kentile vinyl asbestos floor tile and ceramic tile bathroom walls are being used widely. Safety and Comfort The vacation - retirement home also is being designed for safety and comfort, both for the present and when its owner retires. In most cases, full-sized kitchens are being used, because compactness usually results in hard-to-reach storage areas. Many have separate waist-high wall ovens to eliminate a need for bending. Other work-saving conveniences such as dish washers and electric can openers are becoming popu lar in vacation homes. In the bathroom, bath tubs are used, rather than show ers, usually with built-in cor ner seats. Grab bars are in stalled on walls above the tub, with non-slip mats in side. Stairs are especially dan gerous unless certain safety devices are used. Many vacation-retirement homes are be ing built with ramps in place GATES OPEN 7:45 P.M RHP HERE nut a fence in front of these put a wall in front of them. lifii i-i it 'iti ii ir ii m ESCAPE LJl ON SCREEN "Li 8:50 P'M' put a risk in front of them... and they'll take it... put a great adventure on the screen anu you win STEVE McOUEEN JAMES GARNER RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH "uuk nnni! n r.HlRI FS BRONSON vi:::h KKEia 2ND WESTERN ADVENTUREI ON SCREEN 11:55 P.M.

And where steps are necessary, continuous hand rails are Installed on both sides and bottom and top steps are painted in light colors for easy visibility. To Avoid Fatigue Throughout the house every effort is made to avoid fa tigue, such as making sure shelves and cabinets can be reached without a ladder and without bending. As a rule, homes intended for retire ment are designed to limit the need to reach above 63 inches high or below 27 inches from the floor. Raised door saddles or thresholds that could cause falls usually are omitted to assure safety and sliding clos et doors are used wherever possible to eliminate the haz ard of walking into open doors. Easy-to-grasp door knobs that are hexagonal or octagonal, rather than round, are being used. Often, lever type handles are substituted for knobs. Air conditioning is being put in some vacation-retirement homes to reduce house work as well as to provide comfort. Air conditioners keep out much of the dust and soil that would normally enter the home through open doors and windows.
