If you can't get this without exposing your little sun porch to view of passing street traffic, Just run a cedar screen ing fence along the exposed side You can use less expensive grades of cedar in a woven pattern so as to get air circulation through the fence during not summer days Allow for easy access from the home. You mav wish to have a door opening directly Into the kitchen, for convenience wnen serv ing guests tea, light luncheons or family dinners. You may also wish to have access, doors from the family room or living room. One of the values of these sun decks or sun corners is their ap peal to all members of the family. The big thing is to, keep them simple, avoid anything too com plex which will require a lot of upkeep and work. For instance, the sun porch floor can be a simple concrete surface sloping away from the house which can be hosed off occasionally. A little color, like reds or browns can be mixed right in with the con crete to tone down the harsher color of cement. ' A most effective and attractive deck floor is made from Douglas fir two-by-fours laid on edge with a three-eighths inch opening be tween each one. Tills m.-.kes a fine floor, and the space between each two-by-four allows water to drain off. This fir iiooring neeci not be varnished or painted, but allowed to weather to natural col or. Care should be taken to build a proper foundation under this decking and to make certain the wood decking docs not rest on the crotmd. With proper care this decking will last a lifetime. If you think of these additional thines when you are planning your home's own sun porch, you can add to its versatility. Have electric outlets Installed In the out side wall so you can plug in cof fee urns, portable cooking gadgets and such. Also have some ade quate lights installed for night use. A water nyaram can oe mighty handy on occasion. Make this an easy, casual spot where any member of the family will feel like dropping into a chair any time during the day.

You can have a Riviera type patio by placing sections of 2" x 6" Douglas fir decking in a checkerboard pattern, probably about eight boards to the section. Brace sections well and leave a quarter-inch space between each board. Then you can hose it off and let the water run through. Design is lovely almost Oriental in ex pression. And you don't have to mow it. Vood Grain Beauty Lauded The beauty of select, carefully matched wood grains and marble patterns is now available for home interiors at reasonable cost as the result of modern manufacturing techniques. - Choice finished woods and rare imported marbles are reproduced authentically in the manufacture of Marlite paneling, a decorated hard board sold by lumber dealers and widely used for walls, ceilings and furniture surfaces. The master specimens from which this modern paneling Is re produced are the result of long, careful selection and matching of Tree Pruning Advice Given OREGON STATE. COLLEGE Go slow in pruning trees and shrubs injured during last fall's disastrous freeze, advises an Ore gon State College horticulturist. L. T. Blaney says extent of dam age to plants injured during the cold spell now depends on two fac torscare in handling the plants between now and the time new growth gets underway and grow ing conditions next spring. Blaney advises pruning be de lnyed as long as possible, even un til the next growing season. He explains that in a weakened con dition, the plant might be set back further than if it were not touched, or might even be killed. He also suggested that gardeners not disturb a plant by moving it to a more protected area. And if the bark of a tree has been rup tured, he says it should be nailed or otherwise held in place to keep the inner layer oj cambium from drying out. A mild winter and early spring would be a big help in aiding re covery of plants damaged by the low temperatures, he notes. How ever, Blaney recommends use of fertilizer and water next spring, in any event. QUICK, AND FFFICIENT RESULTS let BURTON E.

When in stalled, the decorated paneling presents effects comparable to those of costly custom installations where natural wood or marble is used. The original beauty ot this hard board paneling Is preserved by a baked plastic surface, which, seals out moisture, soil and other foreign matter. Since no finishing, refinish ing or preservative care is needed, work is saved both in installation and upkeep. The surface is quickly cleaned with a damp or sudsy cloth. Wood grain Marlite, In tongue- and-groove planks and blocks or large sheets, is much used as a wall and ceiling paneling in dens, living Tooms and recreation rooms. Other rooms also are paneled with it, including dining rooms and even kitchens. The wood grain panels are being used increasingly as a surfacing for cabinets and tables. Marble pattern paneling is often chosen to provide a distinctive decor for bathrooms. Among other popular applications are fireplace walls and table tops. Marlite is applied with wallboard adhesive over any solid surface and in some cases, over frame work. It is used in new construc tion and remodeling or recondition ing. Nine wood grains and five mar ble patterns are available, in addi tion to a variety of solid colors.

FOR New Bathroom Space Needed Is yours the kind of bathroom with lots ot space, but no place to put anything? This is typical of the old-fash ioned bathroom with fixtures wide ly separated and nothing much but bare walls in between, the Plumb lug and Heating Industries Bureau observes. The solution, of course, is some well-planned, well-designed built Ins. For instance, an old Iree standing lavatory could be re placed with modern twin lavatories mounted in a countertop. The extra lavatory is a real convenience, es pecially during the morning rush hour, because it speeds traffic through the bathroom. ' The space under the extended countertop is adaptable to a num ber, of different storage arrange ments. One section can be fitted with a pull-out soiled clothes hamp er. In fact, if desired, this can be made the opening for the laun dry chute to the basement. Another section might be fitted with hangers and drying racks and possibly a healing element to speed drying. Still other sections can be fitted with sliding storage drawers and trays, as well as a special concealed medicine rack with its own lock. Hinged doors with which the cabinets of a countertop lava tory are closed hide the 3torage arrangements from view. Additional storage space in the form of a recessed shelf with slid ing pegboard enclosures can be bullt into the wall between the top of the lavatory splashback and the bottom of the twin medicine cabi nets above. This space is handy for storing shaving equipment, toilet articles and accessories used daily. Even the space above the water closet permits the installation of a storage cabinet of six cubic feet capacity. Floor-to-celllng cabinets 24 Inches wide and 16 inches deep can be built for storage of bath-. room linens and cleaning supplies.
